"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

In every way, AI is taking away our humanity.

Whoever invents sunscreen that doesn’t get in your eyes and burn is going to be a millionaire. And, no, I don’t want AI to do it 😒

I previewed the London Majors’ first-round playoff series. Check it out! ⚾️

So bizarre how we've outsourced job searches to the point where employers mention "hey, a human will read your resume and cover letter" as a differentiator on job postings. Allow me to quote AI on AI.

Hirers on LinkedIn: Use AI to assess resume/cover letter. LinkedIn: Hey, you should message hirers. Use our AI to help you. I don’t want to be part of this future...

Once again, Gameday London got it first. :) Jason’s story is a must-read.

So much in the world has changed since 1997, when I got a job as a teenager cleaning golf shoes. And yet, 28 years later, one thing remains the same: getting a job is about who you know. 😅

LinkedIn: Your posts got 40 impressions last week. Cool! I didn’t make any posts.

Dear lord, I just got an email noting it’s been 20 years since my graduation from university. 👴🏻

The London Majors' April Fool’s joke, which turned into a real marketing opportunity, captures the essence of minor league baseball’s creativity in drawing fans and supporters. The Cobra Chickens hatch again Monday. @jasonwinders.bsky.social has the story … 👇 www.gamedaylondon.com/stories/cobr...

Because of crosswords, no one will ever forget Mel Ott. #Baseball

Getting sick of the saying ‘left a complex legacy.’ Don’t we all? Humans are complex beings.

‘Circle back.’ ‘Put a pin in it.’ #Cringe

How much of your life do you estimate you’ve lost writing cover letters for jobs you never got?

*walks a portion of bike trail* Another biker: “Everything okay?” Me: “Yeah, I’m just significantly out of shape.”

I wrote some baseball! Cheers.

There’s definitely a loneliness epidemic among men, and I count myself among the affected. It creeps up on you.

Had a great chat today with Mary Deacon, Chair of Bell Let’s Talk, for the book I’m writing. That campaign has been huge on the stigma/awareness piece, and sports teams and athletes have really embraced it over the years.

It's so hot in Toronto that an older man crossing the street beside me just said, with a level of sarcasm even I found impressive, "If I die of heat stroke halfway across the road will you drag my corpse to the other side? My family will wanna identify me" and we are now best, albeit sweaty, friends

Me: Does nothing. LinkedIn: ‘Keep up the momentum! Join premium!’

Put up your hand if the work you enjoy doing is not what pays the bills. Is this inevitable?

‘Fitness’ update: Currently shooting hoops. My back hurt on the WALK to the court.

No. It’s uncomfortable for us to admit that, because we have to confront that we’re alone with ourselves. Maybe the key is embracing that, however difficult it might be.

Unpopular opinion. I’m just the messenger.

Our data shows that only 9% of Canadian men accessed mental health services in the past year. This Men’s Mental Health Month, let’s break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health by initiating open conversations and offering support to those who need it.

I always enjoy writing some baseball. 👇

Mental illness can often be a lifelong malady. Something that requires constant vigilance.

We had a visit today at CBHFM from a few Philadelphia Phillies! Manager, Rob Thomson, Senior Advisor to the GM and former Phillies Shortstop, Larry Bowa, and Hitting Coach, Kevin Long came by for a tour while the team is in town to face the Blue Jays! @phillies.com @torontobluejays.bsky.social.

True story. What a country. ‘Murica.

An important story about youth mental health.

Very well done.

One of the novels ‘prescribed’ to me by the bibliotherapist I connected with. Would highly recommend that process, btw. It’s fun and they know their stuff!

Did a 20km trail ride after two years of no riding. I, um, got back home. Barely. And let’s never speak of it again.

I know Ray Liotta was great in Goodfellas, but he'll always be Shoeless Joe to me. He passed away three years ago today at the age of 67.

Young people are forgoing their brains to use AI, and it’s sad. I worry about the future. A lot of these same folks will inevitably be replaced by AI in the workplace. This a real turning point.

As a journalist, I love the fact that paywalls are pretty ubiquitous now. As a consumer, I’m as frustrated as anyone. Ha. It’s impossible to subscribe to everything. What are your subscriptions? I’m currently the Toronto Star, the New York Times/The Athletic, and the New Yorker.

I’m trying (unsuccessfully) not to complain, but boy did we go through too long of a winter to have this type of spring. We’re getting cheated! 😒

I wrote some baseball for @gamedaylondon.bsky.social. London Majors are off to a 3-0 start. What’s in store for the weekend? …
