It's a Boo Radley's "Giant Steps" soundtrack for work

Tough loss for the Tempo. Looked like an expansion team when the game was on the line. The short offseason really hurt them. Laura Juskaite is going to be a fan favourite. Sykes is fantastic. Really looking forward to watching this team grow through the season #WNBA #TorontoTempo

I love how international the Tempo are - it feels very very Canadian #WNBA #TorontoTempo

The Kiki Rice hustle is good to see. Mabrey is still killing me with weird decisions. The rooks are making the extra pass (even when they should take the shot) and Mabrey is all “screw that imma shoot” #WNBA #TorontoTempo

Everything feels out of sorts for the Tempo. It really speaks to the experience of Mabrey and Sykes that they’re even still in the game (even though Mabrey drives me nuts) #WNBA #TorontoTempo

I’d like to see the Tempo run something for Rice to get involved but they’re having trouble running anything right now #WNBA #TorontoTempo

Decent first half for the Tempo. Bigs like Shakira Austin are going to be a real problem all year. #WNBA #TorontoTempo

Love Sykes. Love Allemand. Spacing has been meh. Nurse is going to kill someone with a screen and I will love it. #TorontoTempo

I’m going to spend all season complaining about Mabrey shot selection aren’t I #TorontoTempo

I feel like every time a reporter posts that the Chicago Sky have waived Hailey Van Lith they should be required to point out that the Sky traded away their 2026 first round pick to acquire her - a pick that became the #2 overall pick and Olivia Miles.

Theory: Calling things “virtual” during the first part of the pandemic when they were just “teleconferencing” (see: “Virtual NFL Draft”), laid the groundwork for people thinking that LLMs are actual “Artificial Intelligence”. Words matter. Everyone decided they didn’t.

Correct

Thank you. I appreciate you noticing.

I did a review for some tail lights from Combat Off-road Enjoy! Or don't, I don't control you. #Jeep #JeepWrangler youtu.be/Yv1O0ZCbdHs

Players I want the @tempobasketball.bsky.social to pick at 6, in order of preference 1) Ta’niya Latson - yes the Mabrey and the other FA moves show more of a win now approach but I think Latson has star upside and is killer in transition & having Allemand at point means they’re going to push

Bruce McCulloch cause of cancer sketch but it's just me confessing that is was me fucking that caused the localized outbreak of autism

The “Day 21” chapter of”When the Moon Hits Your Eye” by @scalzi.com is a hell of a thing about faith, doubt and how we live our lives when everything is hopeless. (And on the off chance he reads this, I just wanted to say that it hit me exactly right, in a way I didn’t know I needed)

the most important day in human history

3 stars is good actually

EXPANSION DRAFT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm super excited @tempobasketball.bsky.social Let's GO!

What is Mike doing in his secret bunker?

My favourite thing is when I get rewarded for not doing something I wasn’t going to do anyway

God i love the Toronto Tempo and there's not even a team yet. Doing stuff like this is why this org is going to be a leader in the W.

“Toileting is not a race, it’s a bodymind journey. For many Autistic children, their journey may look different." @autisticrealms.bsky.social has neuroaffirming advice: autisticrealms.com/toileting-a-... #toileting #autism #neurodiversity

Can we get 10,000 RTs for this

one of the most annoying things about the Canadian online left is the complete disregard and disdain for any criticism of MAID they seem to think anything negative about MAID is some right wing talking point insteead of what it really is: the concern of disability advocates, based in fact

My scoop on this from DECEMBER:

I think we need to start lobbying our MPs to make it clear that we will not accept Albertans maintaining Canadian citizenship if they separate. Too many AB separatists think they’re going to keep Canadian citizenship, CPP and the benefits of being Canadian. We need to be petty & mean

need more #WNBA expansion draft news

It’s funny to watch a writer do a thread decrying Grammarly copying authors and making it so subscribers can mimic their style and then end the thread with a meme ripping off E H Shepard’s Winnie the Pooh art (right sure, irony, got it. Whatevs)

No Thomas Saggese in Bowmans Best means no buys (but a welcome break from having another Saggese to get)

America Sting vs. Canada Sting #wrestlesky 🤼

There is a zero percent chance that the US will get any better for disabled people (or anyone else for that matter) because it seems the only lesson non-Trump Americans are learning is "don't be quite as bad as Trump" instead of, you know, doing the right thing.

There's a close to 100% chance that if you're autistic and coming down on the side of "the guy with tourette's doesn't need to apologize for spouting racist epithets" that you're also an aspie supremacist

The WNBA is claiming the union's latest proposal will result in "hundreds of millions of dollars" in losses for teams. But the league's complicated ownership structure and distribution of revenue among stakeholders bring those claims into question. frontofficesports.com/wnba-owners-...

The flag was always on the floor of their hearts.

I"m looking to get into an active dynasty fantasy baseball league. Weekly lineups preferred. If anyone is starting up a new dynasty league with upcoming draft, I'd be interested. Or even if you have existing teams (prefer free or low cost league) #FantasyBaseball #Baseball #Fantasy

this was a really shitty way to break up with me, Michael

My prediction? Americans on Bluesky say they feel kind of bad, ask what they're supposed to do about it and then tell us "well maybe you should do something about how you're terrible to indigenous people", then they go back to doing nothing like usual.

Finally! Topps has changed the imagery on the /76 "Independence Day" variation in Series 1 for the Blue Jays to Canadian Flags instead of USA imagery. (Of course, these should by /67 instead but whatever, it's better than stars & strips)

to clear up the rampant conjecture and speculation: i do not meet the minimum Wendy's ownership requirements to become the mayor of St Thomas, Ontario (the target audience for this joke is very specific)
