Every time that I see those Bet 365 Top Gun or fishermen ads, I want to go all Elvis and shoot the tv. (📷 Graceland)

I was at the dome opener in 89. I don't remember any ever describing Domer as "beloved." Mostly I remember mocking.

@craigneedles.bsky.social Something for the Friday Round Table? How effectively has Josh Morgan used his strong mayor powers? From @thestar.com

My family lived in #LdnON for a few years when I was young. Mom's parents, and most of her siblings, were in Campbellville. Seeing that sign from the back seat as we drove along the 401 always meant that we were almost to Oma & Opa. To this day, I smile every time I pass it Glad that it's fixed

To all of those American service personnel with whom I served in Canada, the US, and abroad, I am with you as you mark this Memorial Day.

Finished "For Blood and Soil" by @stephaniecarvin.bsky.social and @amaramarasingam.bsky.social. A good one-day read into RW extremism in Canada, covering history and the current state of these groups. Looking forward to a Secure Line ep on the nexus between RW groups and the AB separatists (hint)

Finished "Last Train to Memphis" by Peter Guralnick. Detailed & fascinating look at Elvis' early days, from his youth, rise to fame, to induction to the Army. A very human look at a figure everyone knows, but doesn't.

When Michael Cera isn't doing commercials for Rogers, he dons his alter ego, Spencer Miles, and throws a few innings for #BlueJays

You see she was gonna be an actress And I was gonna learn to fly She took off to find the footlights And I took off for the sky And here, she's acting happy Inside her handsome home And me, I'm flying in my taxi Taking tips and getting stoned "Taxi" Harry Chapin

The OP doesn't allow replies. Cool; their choice But it must be said that there is no better combo shop than one that does bikes AND coffee Might be time this afternoon for a ride to @ldnontbikecafe.bsky.social If you're ever in PEI, go to kneadabrake.com (where Jr & hubby get their bikes serviced)

Yup. It got breezy in #LdnON All the warnings are now lifted.

I like to mark events on the calendar with a matching cycling jersey. Today was a 2016 Olympics Team UK jersey that I bought in London in 2018. Happy Victoria Day!

I lift weights 2x/wk. Ride my bike hundreds of km/wk. Yoga on my recovery days. Six hrs of yard work yesterday and I woke up feeling like I wrestled a gorilla. Make it make sense.

Bacon, eggs, sausage, toast, coffee

Drop a great live album

Cool but dry and sunny in #LdnON. Perfect for a hike in the forest. Trilliums are in full bloom in Warbler Woods.

The stare down

Seriously, Mother Nature?! A frost warning in May? Is there no end to winter this year? 🥶

If Eric Lauer wants to be a full time starter, maybe he should pitch better when starts. Season saver last year, for sure, and that gets him the interim starter role. But a full time position is earned and he isn't doing that. #BlueJays

Happy Star Wars Day to those who celebrate. May the Fourth Be With You! If you haven't figured out who is the Rebel Alliance and who is the Empire in 2026, you are probably part of the problem.

Boler Mountain in #LdnON has removed the chairs from the lift. They have a great set of mountain bike trails and I always wonder why they don't use the lifts for downhill riders, like the ski hills in Blue Mountain #mtnbike

So this just popped up on my phone. Seriously?! Frost warning for 01 May?! If I wanted cold in May, I could have stayed in Winnipeg.

After watching #LBL, the day was calling for a long ride. Sunny, mid-teens, light breeze. But adulting came first. After filling about 10 bags of yard waste, it was time for a tub while listening to #BlueJays Not a bad Sunday

Does Anthony McCrossen have a personal promotion contract with Tadej? He is a solid commentator, and Pogi is a great talent, but the constant hype, every race, is a too much to take. #LBL

Never in doubt #BlueJays

To all those in Aus and NZ, especially those with whom I served, my thoughts are with you as you mark ANZAC Day. "...and the band played Waltzing Matilda..." 🫡

Doing today's errands (bank, haircut) on the new ebike, a Tern T10. Quick, effortless, green, and gas-free.

Sometimes a ride is about training, goals, and numbers. Sometimes it's about getting out from behind the computer for Vitamin Sunshine and ecotherapy. Today was one of those days. A few SUPs on Sharon Creek, with the air temp at 21C. #LdnON #gravel #bike

Boler Mountain in #LdnON. One small patch of snow remaining, hidden from the sun by slope and trees.

@ryanjesse95.bsky.social @supriya.bsky.social Just played the Mon pod while in the gym (no k-bells). A short🧵 on the F35. (Once upon a time I did this for a living) Read the att article. This is a US source, with excellent analysis of the cost-benefit of the plane. 1/x

Another Sunday, another #cycling classic. Amstel Gold; not a Monument but the first of the Ardennes Classics. It's a cool morning, so Louie is enjoying a sunbeam. #coffee #dachshund #AmstelGoldRace

Today's bike maintenance tip: if the jockey wheels on your rear derailleur look like the one on the left, they're worn. Yes, this bike came into the co-op tonight. Happy to help a member of the community fix their bike.

A couple of years back, there was a viral post on the old site, about how an item of clothing was only worn, on average, seven times. That so isn't me. I realized when I pulled on this tech shirt to work out, that it has a pocket for an iPod Nano. (Which I never had) And it's still in the wardrobe.

Last night, I went to bed after 8 innings, Jays down by a run. Missed a come back win. So, tonight, watched top 9. No such luck. Is this #bluejays baseball in 2026?

Finished "Chasing Shadows" by Ronald J Deibert of UofT's @citizenlab.ca. Fascinating..lays bare the dirty work being done by shadowy companies for oligarchs and despots around the world. Recommended for anyone with an interest in cyber espionage

Summer of '42, on broadcast television

Wout! WOUT! #ParisRoubaux

Seriously, @hannah-walker.bsky.social, does Anthony McCrossen have a personal promotional contract with Tedej? It's getting ridiculous. Love your work! #ParisRoubaix

Sunday morning; quality time. Happy Paris-Roubaix Day, to those who celebrate #coffee #dachshund #parisroubaix

The City of London should publicly explain why a symbol widely understood as divisive and exclusionary is being worn by staff tasked with supporting vulnerable community members. #HatePropaganda #LdnOnt

Looks like Mandy is getting promoted! @clareblackwood.bsky.social

Just turned on the #bluejays game. Is it wrong that I am excited about a scoreless tie after 2?

In the week before Christmas, snow is beautiful and magical. In the week after Easter, snow makes me question some life choices. If I wanted to see snow in April, I could have stayed in Winnipeg. #LondonON

Today seems like a good day to discuss Maj (USAF) Howard Hering, his career, and his dismissal from the Air Force

Garage before and after. Covered the back wall in 1/2" ply, added shelving and steel pegboard. 2.5 days & abt 300$. Bike shop (r) is still in progress. That will come after a bit of research @escapecollective.bsky.social. Still more useable as cycling season begins
