I've got a whole lot of thoughts on Lansdowne and the Charge that I'm going to try to write down because apparently I'm the resident arena drama guy for @silversevensens.com But in the meantime read this fantastic pieces on it from @elishacote.bsky.social at @theicegarden.bsky.social

Ehhh... They've still got 2 points on Buffalo, and they don't look at bad as Calgary, so they've got a bit further they could go

The Ottawa Charge were shut out in game two of preseason action, and now face final roster decisions. In my latest for The Hockey News, I break down the standouts and the bubble players ahead of the home opener on Saturday: thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/...

The second worst person you know is picking a fight with the worst person you know

So the funding for road calming measures to replace speed cameras is $210m. Is that good? My only real reference is that each Ottawa ward gets 75k annually for speed calming measures. This seems like way more money, but that 75k was also woefully inadequate...

Shit's bleak, weather's bleak, life is bleak... fuck it. Drop a recent accomplishment below and I - a certified Dad - will tell you that I am proud of you for it. Other Dads feel free to jump in. Let's bring some proud-ass Dad energy to the timeline

Am I, albeit extremely temporarily, rooting for Lauren Boebert?

A guy in Hamilton stole a city bus, with passengers on it... And proceeded to basically drive the route. Let passengers on and off, and even denied boarding to someone with an expired pass. What?

A ttrpg setting made entirely out of dwarf fortress patch notes

Kinda hope they leaned into it and played "I want to drive the zamboni" over the PA while the plows were clearing the porch for extra time

We’ve seen some defend voice generation tech in Embark Studios’ games with “It’s just multiplayer barks, that’s not why we’re here.” But the vocal performances were key to Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead’s charm. Or the Halo announcer. Or any number of beloved, memorable multiplayer games with barks

Anyone wondering how Anna Shokhina and Fanuza Kadirova will fair in the PWHL should have zero concerns. Impressive hands, great foot speed and incredible instincts. Third drill in a row that left me wondering “How in the world did she do that!”

Listen, when a confidence vote happens a price must be paid

Canadian reality TV star threatens to go full Karen on most powerful elected official in NYC

"WTF, why isn't anybody cleaning up the mess we're making?"

Russia’s top scoring duo, a battle for balance on the blue line, and a showdown in the crease — Ottawa’s training camp has no shortage of storylines.

As a rough draft, I'm happy wth the technical side of this. But ooooh boy does it need a whole lot of polish (eastern conference standings, vertically by day with the oldest at the top, horizontally by point gap & tiebreakers)

I've heard the suggestion that the Seattle logo is also a nod to them being the 8th team because the S is almost an 8, but not enough people suggesting that Vancouver's name is a nod to them being the 007th team

Just did the first thing again. Caught it without hours of debugging this time though, and didn't do the second thing at all, so progress!

(whispers) The future of the Ottawa Charge is at LeBreton, not Lansdowne

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

Love a good bobble head night

The Ottawa Charge have released their schedule for theme nights and promotional giveaways. Of particular note, January 28, March 11 and another date in early 2026 will feature Brianne Jenner, Emily Clark and Gwyneth Philips, respectively, bobblehead nights.

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

As someone who doesn't watch sports but does love human suffering, I'm having a great night

...and students will be left thinking "this feels like trolling. is it trolling?" the same way we often were about antics from Rome

I absolutely want this baseball game to never end. That way, future school classes about the collapse of empire will mention that a particular game during this tumultuous period lasted seventeen months and the eventual riot after cops tried shutting a bar before game-end helped end the regime...

Look at us. We’re all here, on the 97th most popular social media site, enjoying a live event together.

The benches emptying in a Game 7 probably does not even crack the top five craziest things that happened in this game so far.

This World Series has been nothing but natural 1 attack rolls and natural 20 saving throws.

Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

Hello, 9-1-1? I'd like to report 44,000 heart attacks in progress. Address is 1 Blue Jays Way.

Not a baseball guy at all, but the drama of a 1 run game 7 going into the 9th definitely is enough to draw me in for a few minutes

With the Isles regulation win tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are now in last place in the Eastern conference... But are also one point (and tiebreakers) out of the second wild card spot

After reading this, I'm REALLY looking forward to see what Gunn does with Batman. Gunn has said he doesn't want to do a "campy" Batman, but a serious Batman doesn't need to be the "commando" the article points out that his big screen version has generally evolved into.

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days. That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.
