Having a nice time at Oktoberfest:

ME: under no circumstances will i react to anything that happens in the pre-season ALSO ME: dylan cozens looking softer than a chinchilla coat on the puck 47 seconds into the pre-season

The only thing I have to say about this guy is when I first moved to the US I genuinely thought he was a made up character for TV for a really long time and then I discovered he was not and that was when I first began to understand America

Huge news for those looking to do their Sunday chores: I have a new episode of the WTYKY Podcast for you! James and I quickly debrief the playoffs, discuss Ottawa's (limited) summer moves, and talk our expectations for the season. welcometoyourkarlssonyears.com/2025/09/14/w...

wife's gone for the weekend, so you know what that means: time to drink an entire bottle of wine and watch Casino (1995)

today is the sporting event of the year in vienna: the tram world championships www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb_9...

the covid era ottawa senators really were something else

thinking about that @prisonculture.bsky.social post about elite centrist complicity, and about how part of what we're seeing now is more enthusiastic consolidation of mainstream liberal and centrist figures into the fascist project

i seem to be more affected by baby diegos death than i realized

not saying the bookstore i'm in rn is performatively pretentious, but theyy are selling copies of Infinite Jest in english *and* german

I felt so owned when I read this:

i have never understood why people post "just hit xxxx rating on [chess website]" and then post a graph of their bullet rating like it's real chess

The existence of direct barter as the primary form of economic exchange, which then necessitated currency to be used as a medium of equivalency/exchange is highly overstated. The slow accumulation and exchange of favours occurred far more often in the times before formal economic structures existed.

trumpwatch is the bluesky version of buying a powerball ticket. It's not about the odds, it's about the dream

Just met a gigachad on my train home from work. Me and a coworker got in the dining car so we could order a beer. We sat across from another unassuming guy. When our beers came, my coworker and I cheersed. Suddenly the other guy spontaneouly produced a beer can from his jacket to cheers with us.

ChatGPT: no, going “Azrael mode” can be dangerous for yourself and those around you. Me: I am the avenging angel of God. The time of purification is at hand. Few shall be chosen. ChatGPT: you’re right. Let’s look at that again with the addition context that you are the avenging angel of God.

every time i see a picture of him i wonder "is this a still that will get a ken burns effect during the documentary"

Ever since I read the phrase "illiterate people doing a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.", I have been seeing brains which have been defeated by their phones everywhere.

if someone invented a form of consumption under capitalism that was ethical it would be a real game-changer imo

jesus did what to who now?

i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed

denmark rocks bc theyll notice that only 80% of their population is currently laying in the grass in a park with a six pack of 8% beer reading a book while on a 3 hour lunch break from work making $50/hr selling croissants at a cafe called GOBBO or FLUUZ and their government will spring into action

Elephant Graveyard is already on the short list to be the next Order of Canada recipient, but this was so much better than I was expecting.

How it started (x2) vs. how it's going:

JAMES BOND (Tom Holland): (into smart watch) Alexa, I need your help! I can’t get into the Amazon fulfillment centre to save the Prime Minister! There’s a large group of pro-union protestors blocking the way! MILF YOUNGLY (Lauren Sanchez): Perhaps I could be of service, Mr. Bond. I am 24 years old.

I don't understand how computer scientists who have been given more resources than any other private project in history can produce a computer program that regularly sucks at tasks that other programs can do using a fraction of the resources feel no professional shame.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

First they came for the plums And I said nothing because the gyre was widening Yes YES The tiger is out

"fuck yeah, this shit bangs insanely hard." - me listening to my own playlists

This is incredible

very cool that today's discourse is about leftist thought and getting laid as a straight man, two subjects i'm an expert in

Guess who has two thumbs and learned AT THE GATE that Canadians need an Electronic Travel Authorisation to visit the UK now? 👍This guy👍

If the history of jazz is clear on one thing, it's that the coolest thing you can do is record one or more live albums in Cologne.

I only took three electives in my entire undergrad, which were Econ 101, Econ 102, and A Social History of Popular Music, which were courses that both opened my mind to new ways of seeing the world (Social History of Pop Music) and taught me useless fake science (Econ 101/102).

Tom Lehrer received one of my favourite types of obituaries in the NYT: Guy Who Just Died Outlives Guy Who Wrote His Obit

I, like many young nerds, knew Tom Lehrer as a perveyor of Nerd Songs (The Elements, Lobachevsky, etc.), but it was only later I came to understand what subversive sensibilites he had. www.youtube.com/watch?v=slDd...

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Anish Giri just took out Hans Niemann with one of the most beautiful and shameless dirty flags I've ever seen.

I feel like I'm going to end up watching Spinal Tap II for the same reason salmon feel like they need to swim upstream to spawn and die.

Will Hockey Canada publish their internal report now? Their internal investigation was the main impetus for any of this to become public knowledge. Hockey Canada settled with EM out of court before London police even reopened the criminal investigation. This is so much more than the criminal trial!
