Today is my birthday and my one humble wish is that he dies soon ❤️

If I'm Canada I'm taking Trump’s "jokes" about becoming the 51st state very seriously right now.

We never did learn how Sir Psycho Sexy got knighted

all Venezuelans, if that weren't clear. with families both here and back home. and many of them will be competing in the World Baseball Classic (think World Cup for baseball) in two months.

Toronto Blue Jays this offseason: Brought back Shane Bieber Signed Dylan Cease Signed Cody Ponce Signed Tyler Rogers Signed Kazuma Okamoto New York Yankees: Brought back Amed Rosario

The Toronto Blue Jays strike again, and sign Japanese third baseman Kazuma Okamoto. Amazing offseason for the defending AL champions. Jeff Passan on it.

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

Got selected for jury duty 🥴

Tayler Saucedo's IG story indicates he is heading to the Angels (h/t @13thgravegypt.bsky.social). The number of unsigned 2025 Mariners drops to NINE!

“I did not realize the player I was trying to create a cute meme about was an alleged sex pest,” and other unfortunately common thoughts regarding men’s hockey

on the one hand the Order of Canada is basically bullshit but on the other hand if we're going to have it at all you're goddamn right they should give it to Nardwuar the Human Serviette

Eleven years without alcohol – one of my few life choices I don’t regret

Happy new year! Exciting news: There's new transit coming in 2026—including metro, light rail, commuter rail, aerial tram, & BRT lines across North America. Overall, the US, Canada, & Mexico will add 150 miles of fixed-guideway transit. It's all on The Transport Politic in my annual roundup ⏬

Happy New Year from bed!! May we all outlast our enemies ❤️

I hope in 2026 the tide starts to turn against subscription models in general, especially now that unwanted AI and advertising is crammed into everything

Drinking black tea at 5:30pm, so you KNOW it’s new year’s eve

old frenemy alert

As an autodidact producer I got much better at mixing. The only thing I released was a dark electro remix for a friends’ folk/rock project, and even though there’s a couple things I’d do differently I’m really happy with the results, and with the other stuff I’m working on.

My favourite music videos? Oh, they're from Canada... you wouldn't know them

rip to one of the goats of all time. see you in valhalla brother

Aside from all the terrible world events, this was a tough year in which health issues kept me from doing a lot of things I love, and robbed me of independence. But I did get to connect with a few cousins (estranged due to previous generations' drama) and that's been really special.

57. My go-to song to exhale and breathe in the best way possible through nearly all of 2025, and a genuinely heartfelt album closer too. From @256pi.bsky.social , 'Anything Not Saved Will Be Lost'! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwTX...

Sheeeeeeeeeeet

I've waited 3 years to make this post

A weird purgatory is happening on @baseball-reference.com where Mariners at the Single-A level are showing up as Angels minor leaguers, presumably due to the Modesto Nuts/Inland Empire 66s switchover in 2026

I missed that Zach Pop signed a 1-year major league deal with the Phillies last week! Ten unemployed 2025 Mariners remain: Luis F. Castillo (though he's playing in LIDOM), Mitch Garver, Jesse Hahn, Luke Jackson, DMo, Tayler Saucedo, Donovan Solano, Eugenio Suarez, Rowdy Tellez, and Trent Thornton.

Pitchers and catchers report in about 40 days. Few if any Mariners have more to prove this spring than Carlos Vargas. Our annual season previews are underway @lookoutlanding.bsky.social www.lookoutlanding.com/series-previ...

We are then joined by STEVEN BLACKBURN (@notb0br055.bsky.social) to reminisce about the Etsy Witch! Available wherever you listen to podcasts ⚾ linktr.ee/tlampod

Not sure how to feel about Brigitte Bardot passing. She looked great in the movies but, confusingly, was kind of a bad person

last new one for the year. more coming in january.

by this time next year ai will be capable of opening presents with your family, freeing you up to finish those spreadsheets your boss has been waiting on

merry christmas to everyone, except christians who we start persecuting today for real

Reacquainting myself with the first few New Pornographers albums in lieu of Christmas music. Hooks for days!

I'm doing some work for a large winter games event and it's detrimental to my bit that baseball is the only sport

Conflating/combining "plant-based" and "gluten-free" is one of the worst things to happen to vegan food options

lol at Bari not knowing about the distribution process for foreign markets and not asking and no one volunteering the information.

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

If Bari Weiss’ goal was to increase viewership…I guess, mission accomplished? 🤷🏼‍♀️ archive.org/details/ceco...

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

I can't believe we've reached the "if you want to watch the real news you have to hope someone recorded a bootleg from Canada" phase of this aspiring dictatorship and it hasn't even been a year 🙄

Autechre isn’t lulling me to sleep as I had hoped
