Trying real hard to not judge a book by its cover

Our opponent didn't show up last night so we had a goof-around scrimmage

They're probably right tbh. A lot of the fanbase is overjoyed and I've even seen younger media people reacting with "I get to cover my hero!!!" type stuff. The most telegraphed smoke grenade in history and a chunk of the city is running straight towards it with glee

Reading excitement/copium on the other site about how the reportedly incoming Leafs GM was the first to play with salary deferrals and looking forward to the incoming era where Toronto operates like the 2020s Red Sox instead of acting like the richest team in the sport

Spring cleaning

I don't like singling out platforms trying to build their way up, but I'm genuinely shocked by how little this article says anything about anything. Like it's a step above lorem ipsum. Is Toronto coverage really this cooked, even at the blogosphere level?

Go away copilot, no one asked for this

This'll get said and then the election will happen and Ontario will remain blue with a turnout of about 3.6%

You don’t, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Ken Sim, but in this case you kinda have to

Knebworth is "the big one" but this is the best show Oasis played at their peak. Crowd is on fire. Everyone at the top of their game. Outfits iconic. Opened with an instrumental and a b-side and closed with two covers. Only flaw is that they didn't do Slide Away.

It finally happened. My phone took over 10 minutes to play the final hand lol

Sitting on the streetcar with a beer in my pocket, rain jacket, red backwards cap, black pants, black glasses, headed to the TFC game. Guy across from me matches the exact description and his phone has the exact same case. Considering multiverse theories, perhaps cloning

Many people are saying

Two years, no off days

$36 well spent

Still more expensive than before the last price hike. Still not coming back this easily

COD4 for PC for $45. It’s insane how cooked the video game thrifting game is now

Probably would be difficult to argue that Reconstruction Site is the best album put out by a Canadian artist, but with each year I'm more convinced that it's my first choice if someone were to ask me for an example of a great Canadian album

Talked myself into a bike ride to value village

Wasted this with a bad shot

If you don’t believe we are in a bubble you are in denial

Can someone explain to me why you can get an external DVD burner (albeit probably not a great one) for like $25 now but an enclosure for an internal is like $75

I feel like “I couldn’t tell Jesus apart from an old timey doctor” is arguably a bigger spit in the text to the religious people he aims to court than pretending he’s Jesus, honestly. And expecting them to believe him a bigger insult to their intelligence

What are my options here besides “buy a new bed frame” Also this explains why I’ve woken up with a bad back the past few days

The city has been waiting a very long time for this guy, who just looks around and sees dumb shit and is like "Hey we should fix that"

Someone forgot their laundry card in the laundry room so I went to ground to give it to the superintendent. As I'm about to leave, he stops me. "Do you like this song?" He's got a Cranberries album on, he's telling me about how he started getting into CD collecting again over the past year or two

If manufacture a car with a defect that kills people, you're responsible. If you manufacture a pharmaceutical that kills people who take it, you're responsible. Why shouldn't the developers of LLMs be held to the same standard of liability as any other industry?

"Live events mostly serve as influencer backdrops now" is a shift I've been preaching for a few years and it sucks

I think all of the "Big 3" microblogging platforms (Bird app, here, threads) have bad algorithms that should be nuked from orbit, but Threads might be the most obviously algorithm driven. Feels like everyone on there is self-serving too. Happy to have remained a bystander there.

So, here is that fundamental change - a new subdomain has been set up SPECIFICALLY for data scraping, bots and any other forms of automated access. (and intended to be the only way fairly soon, but more on that a bit later in the thread)

The Leafs need a guy like this (Leaf fans, don't look into who I'm talking about)

The Rhys is 6-for-6 today

Coldplay are such a weird band in the sense that years of memes have made them underrated by many, they have more great full albums than a lot of other bands can claim, but I'm also absolutely certain they peaked on the first single of their first album www.youtube.com/watch?v=fulQ...

Playing EASHL again for the first time in years and to this day, my go-to penalty shot move was stolen from @rhysjessop.bsky.social, and it makes people as mad as it ever has Why a Hurricane hasn't done the Rhys IRL is beyond me (besides the fact it would work ~0% of the time)

You always find your way back home, even if just for a visit

Reason 10000 why the other old Midway IP sports games will never be revived lmao. Forget just the over the top violence the HUMOUR was so dark in some of these games no way you'd ever get MLB or other leagues to license a reboot and keep the same jokes with Tim Kitzrow and Co

this is the second "how I use AI as a journalist" piece in the last 24 hours and both are entirely disqualifying for those involved, embarrassing stuff
