Cheering for overtime, penalties, general exhaustion among the winning team, suspensions, and hopefully a Swiss victory

How would this even be possible???

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

Hi England, here’s the Christmas tree we’re sending you for Trafalgar Square this year.

You're welcome, England

Running around doing extra chores this morning because I always feel that it somehow helps my team if I do this before important games 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽

My PhD thesis is on a zip drive

Aujourd'hui, je suis Belge / Vandaag ben ik Belgisch (Google Translate doesn't have Flemish, sorry)

As my friend said during last night's game: it's the hope that kills you. Delighted to have another incredibly stressful game to watch on Saturday while wailing "whyyyyy do I do this to myself"

Last night's game took years off my life. I might need a few days to recover.

On the family Zoom this morning, my sister asked my 7-year-old niece if she knew where the capital of Canada is. My niece thought about it for a few seconds, then replied "it's where the parliament is" Outstanding response, no notes

I would pay real money for a special edition with that shot changed

I watched Project Hail Mary last night and really enjoyed it, but I woke up still annoyed about how he loaded that microfuge with the two tubes in adjacent slots

Great, so my world cup hopes now ride on England being able to beat Mexico at the Azteca 👍

It feels so wrong to go to a dive bar at 9:30 am, but that is what our friend has booked for tomorrow's game. Should be fun!

sorry, we're deciding this one by goals per capita

C'mon, one more time!!!

😄

This game is amazing! We usually only hear us and our (Argentinian) downstairs neighbours yelling at football games, but I can hear multiple groups reacting to every goal and save

I found something: I persuaded a team of medical writers I work with to standardize our date format in all file names etc. to YYYYMMDD, so the American writers will no longer confuse international clients (and vice versa), and files will sort the same way in alphabetical and chronological views

First of all: "Support"?! Second of all: 62% is scarily low. Yay to my fellow NDP voters, though - we have the highest proportion of evolution "supporters" (again: WTF?!) among the three major parties, at 79% www.nsnews.com/economy-law-...

This pipeline isn’t nation building. It’s nation burning.

It feels a little bit wrong to begin my Canada Day by watching the England game. I'll have to do something extra Canadian later

Same day.

YESSSS I was hoping this game would go to extra time. Let the winners tire themselves out before Saturday! A couple of next-match suspensions would be nice too

Scientific journal article titles from 2076: 1) Retrospective analysis of 2025–2075 infectious disease trends in the United States: continued impact of a single case of brain worm on nationwide mortality rates

only nation in world cup history that has won 100% of its knockout games

My friend's on a flight (with free wifi) that was getting ready to depart Halifax at the very end of the game. She said Canada scored right as they were starting the safety announcements and no-one on the plane paid attention to a single word of it. People were still celebrating as they took off

Ouch! www.patreon.com/savagechicke...

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Yes, obviously it is suspended, but is it operating or not? Useless TfL app.

My dentist's office called yesterday saying they'd had a cancellation at noon today and did I want to move my Monday appointment forward? Nice try, dentist, but I ain't missing the Canada-Switzerland game to get my teeth cleaned!

Opinion: Canada's loudest statement was in support of a fallen player

Calling the endless stream of meaningless stats p-hacking is straight-up genius xkcd.com/3262/

Trump insists it's very normal for the winners of wars to pay billions to the losers

Someone at my gym is singing (loudly and badly) between sets 🙄

I will waste money on all kinds of stupid stuff but somehow can't bear to get rid of a bar of soap until it's down to its last few hundred molecules

This is now the GIF of the entire tournament. Don't @ me

I'd like to apologize to the cat who was sitting on my lap when I yelled for that goal, as well as to the neighbours downstairs whose feed is about 20 seconds behind mine 🇨🇦⚽

OKAY. SHHHH. CANADA IS BUSY.

🦆Can not WAIT to watch Harvey and Jaques on the same team next year! 🦆 #Goldeneyes #PWHL

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

I was delighted to come across this paper on low-carb diets and glucose homeostasis, with the first author Schugar. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22617564/

One thing that came up a lot at the rink this season was how close the #Goldeneyes roster was, even despite their record. Lots of ways to interpret not losing players in expansion, but it seems to me this group really wants an opportunity to run it back together & build on Year 1

Mark, just now: "I thought you said you were going to do some work today" Me: "Yes, I am. I'm just kind of warming up for real work by browsing through a couple of the editing groups I'm in" Him: "Looks to me like you're just looking at pet photos" Me: "Yes but they're editors' pets"
