Leaving 2025: [Exit Pursued By A Bear] Entering 2026: I am fresh of spirit and resolved to meet all perils very constantly. #Shakespeare

Love North of North. Also want to recommend Sort Of, which is another queer Canadian show that you should check out.

Here’s to 2026

2025: what a year for Canadian sports.

*sees a lot of snow at the window* You’re a day late, Mother Nature.

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

Proud to see my tax dollars at work.

Popped by Threads and was welcomed with a post by an American saying that HBO saved Heated Rivalry from obscurity and telling Canadians to shut up and be happy about it. Do we need to start purchasing billboards and TV ad space in the States to remind them that the show is explicitly Canadian?

Yep, still winning.

Not since Portrait of a Lady on Fire did I get shook at the sight of a man interrupting a queer couple vacationing at the cottage. (Yes, I’m referring to the Heated Rivalry season finale)

It’s a Wonderful Life was on TV last night, so this is just an opportunity to share this.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Since last year, I’ve been rummaging through thrift stores and buying vinyls of original Broadway cast recordings, even though I never owned a record player. For Christmas, I was gifted a record player. I can now play the Camelot OBC recording and channel Natalie Portman at home.

Tiny Tim, who did NOT hit her. He did not. Oh hi, ghost

Just an opportunity to share that one of the best Christmas songs ever is about elves wanting to unionize: youtu.be/M4dxqHmhLaE?...

Condolences to the Irish football/Heated Rivalry fans who’ll mistake Troy Barrett with Troy Parrott.

Oh damn. God bless whoever had to edit that video.

In “yes, our government does fund cool media shit” news: totally forgot to bring up that this movie is coming up: youtu.be/oKlf7-c-4Bk?...

Less Ryan Murphy projects and more Jacob Tierney projects.

The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery." 🔗: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Watched Blue Moon last night (love it). Maybe it’s because it all takes place at Sardi’s, but I can see someone adapting it to the stage years later and the actors playing Lorenz and Elizabeth getting Tony nominations.

This is the work of Ed Blum (the man who organized the the Students for Fair Admission case). Anyone can buy a ticket to a BIPOC night—the box office doesn't prevent it. The plaintiff could have attended without issue, assuming he wasn't offended by being surrounded by majority POC theatregoers.

Sharing again because the trailer’s now out.

TIL the actor who plays Hayden Pike is the son of Seana McKenna.

Someone at the NHL thought that scheduling a Montreal vs. Boston game two days before Christmas would be just fine, not knowing that months later, people will be watching it for a very different and hot reason.

The Global TV video and tech team uploading the 60 Minutes episode.

Weissand Effect

Two things we can expect in 2026: - a lot of couples (queer and straight) will use “I’ll Believe in Anything” for their wedding song. - a lot of Shane/Ilya and Scott/Kip couples costumes.

Hudson Williams: chaotic woke Canadian.

Leafs are in a scoring slump. Attendance numbers are getting low. Players aren’t doing their best. Might as well hope for a gay guy who works at a smoothie shop to solve all of this.

Listened to their episode five recap and really enjoying that they’re pro-Scott Hunter. Really hoping they do get that cameo.

HBO really confirming that they won’t be involved creatively in season two is good. I’d rather much sacrifice $$$ so Jacob can still have full creative control. Let the show continue to be funded by our taxes and Bell Fibe bundle plans. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Enjoying Jacob’s mission to bring CanCon to a global audience.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Canadians, sign this petition to stop the use of the Notwithstanding clause against trans Canadians. This is about provinces denying human rights, because trans rights are human rights. SIGN.

conservatives have never devised an insult that isn't ultimately just black, gay/woman, or jew

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

wow, seeing Jake Paul get beaten half to death, true terror in his eyes, really improved my whole outlook on life

What are the chances the National Ballet are gonna work their way into booking Connor and Hudson as the Cannon Dolls for the Nutcracker next year?

Forgot that they just received all five episodes on Friday. So, I think we know what the titas were doing after simbang gabi.

As the year comes to a close, TCM remembers the actors, filmmakers and creatives we lost this year. Gone, but never forgotten: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF8_... Song title and artist: "In the Western Wind and the Sunrise" by Dave Simonett and the Sunrise.

There’s a Desus and Mero joke when they watched the Cats movie trailer and when Judi Dench appeared, Desus asked if she was behind on car payments. Now if I see a high profile actor doing a project that’s very questionable, I just assume they have mortgages or student loans to pay.

1. How bad is the cost of raising a child in the US that he rejoined the MCU? 2. Did Feige got word that Scott and Kip originated from Stucky fanfic and went “I know how to capitalize on that?”

As much as I enjoy people fancasting who they want to see in season two (I'm partial to seeing Noah Reid or Robbie Amell). But, let Jacob continue casting unknowns. Let him hire a guy who's a Soulpepper Academy alum and probably did a Fringe show at Tarragon.

... As I was saying.

Last year, I went to Rome and tried the best cappuccino I've ever had. So much so, it made my favourite coffee brand here feel bland in comparison. I feel like Heated Rivalry is that Italian cappuccino and Bridgerton is that bland coffee brand.
