This is a literal bit from the movie Head of State (2003). He's stealing campaign ideas from Chris Rock movies with 29% Rotten Tomatoes scores...

Every year, the Leafs start slow and everybody freaks out. Then they recover and we all go. Yeah, well... we'll see what happens in the playoffs! And then that goes badly. So too shall it be this year, I fear.

Jarnkrok looks like he thinks Easton Cowan could use some time with the Marlies.

Pooped a little

K time to make up for the error, Barger

Good dammit. Choking it away on errors

Quite bad

Why the hell is Barger doing that

Fuck

I think Carney has been absolutely dog shit as Prime Minister but it does really surprise me how many people seemingly want him to make Canada into Trump's favoured enemy for no apparent reason.

Lmao. McDavid, what are you doing??

George Springer and I have a lot in common from the hairline up.

My NHL standings predictions based purely on vibes: Atlantic: 1-Tampa 2-Toronto 3-Florida 4-Montreal 5-Ottawa 6-Buffalo 7-Detroit 8-Boston Metro 1-Carolina 2-Washington 3-New Jersey 4-NYR 5-NYI 6-Columbus 7-Philly 8-Pittsburgh

They should let Judge pitch or something. Why not? Get nuts.

Probably Kampf gets through but wouldn't be shocked if he got picked up. He's only owed $3.5M over the next two seasons. He's an NHL centre, just somebody you'd want to be making $1.5M instead of $2.5M but that won't matter to every team. I'd say 50/50 chance he gets through.

“I know it’s only the Preseason but…” says hockey fan about to make the dumbest prediction of all time

I feel like people are way way way underestimating how good the Leafs will be in the regular season this year. I think they are likelier to win the division again than they are to being a wildcard team tbh.

Hughes is good but that seems like a lot...

This is absurd.

Hell yeah

That's a good deal for Stolarz. GMBT takes too much shit. He's got some chops.

At this point, the Jays should just fucking do the thing.

Reimer is a hundred years old, no?

I'm not sure if this was specifically my dad but the three tapes I recall listening to in the car as a kid were the Rankin Family, Beatles Greatest hits, and a tape my uncle recorded in a professional studio of him and my grandpa covering old country and folk songs. All p good tbh

The Leafs are undeniably worse without Marner but also what they were doing wasn't working and if they had brought him back at the AAV it would have taken, they'd have been locked in to that forever. Had to take a chance on something new, understanding that it probably means they're worse this year.

Hoffman, you are testing me

Wtf are they doing throwing to home. Dude was gonna be safe by a mile

Why tf was Vlad jogging

Bs. Let's see a closeup of that fan. Does he have an Abe Lincoln beard.

Gimenez earning that 0

Old fashioneds are better with rum tbh. More interesting flavour profile and you don't need as much sweetener.

The Blue Jays are a funny team.

Listening to a hockey podcast that I find to be quite silly and generally not correct as a treat* *Out of desperation

So he doesn't want term then because nobody is paying him more than that.

I appreciate how these folks took a pretty wild situation in stride because it absolved me of any guilt I may have otherwise felt for laughing as hard as I did at their predicament.

I'm sad that summer is coming to an end but at least Candy Corn season will soon be upon us.

So apparently Special K bars are just part tarts disguised as a NutriGrain.

Regardless of who actually cancelled, the fact that any Liberals, including the prime minister, thought inviting this handmaiden of fascism to speak to them was a good idea is completely unacceptable. The Liberals are so out of touch with both what Canadians want and reality itself, it's shocking.

Gen AI is very impressive but not overly useful in my experience. Current business use-cases are minimal compared to the immense investment. CEOs are getting tricked by it because it looks game changing at a thousand foot view and they aren't close enough to the details to see that it's mid at best.

Bullpen? More like bullshit!

Threw some ghost pepper sauce into fried rice. Would recommend.

Carney's been an unmitigated disaster thus far but I'm really not sure US economic negotiations have been a particular week spot. Canada's effective tariff rate is as low or lower than any other major US trading partner. He's only dropping tariffs on CUSMA compliant goods which US already did. 1/2

Legitimately if the NDP want to return from the brink of obscurity, they need to do performative BS like this. Force the liberals left and give people a reason to give you seats.

slightly diminish a band: Vampire Thursday

The thing about Gen AI /LLMs is that they are impressive but not particularly useful. Which is why a lot of CEOs seem to be getting tricked into thinking they need to invest in them imo. They recognize the impressiveness but aren't close enough to the executional work to know it's a nothing burger.

There it is! I willed it into existence lol. I think this is likely exactly what he would have gotten in arbitration. Getting it done in advance of arbitration protects Robertson from the Leafs choosing a two year term on a low number. It also gives the Leafs optionality to trade him.

Presented without comment:

Feels like we've heard nothing at all on the Nick Robertson front and his arb date is tomorrow. Figured we'd either get a trade or see them meet in the middle on a deal. Feels like they're just gonna go to arb and have him on the roster next year.

Happy Gilmore 2 was not good but it was entertaining

My first year Reasoning and Argumentation class was eye opening; not because I found anything in the class particularly groundbreaking but rather because it was my first exposure to how easily and completely your average person can get rolled over by an extremely obvious logical fallacy.
