I need to remember to share my fears for the future so that I can also share my joy when they are overcome.

Here’s a mild take for your Friday: Pooja and Gurdeep are fantastic morning radio hosts on CHFI in Toronto, always a fun and pleasant listening experience. 📻

O tempora! O mores!

Romans whose writing we have from the 4th-6th centuries AD didn't really know they were living through the fall of the Roman Empire in the west. A new emperor might fix things. If somebody can just get a handle on those dang barbarians, everything will be fine. Now, about that party next week...

Dreadful. #MUFC #MUNARS

A nice galactic diversion. Hardcover/Digital/Audio trifecta. #FridayReads

Allez Vicky, indeed! #WTA #CanadianOpen 🎾

Love what I’m seeing from Victoria Mboko this evening, Canadian tennis is in a good place. 🎾 #CanadianOpen #WTA

I like a lot of the people on here but if I’m honest spending any amount of time online these days is not the best for my mental health.

Disgusting on multiple levels.

Still working through this one, Oats is proving a more compelling POV character than I'd expected- well played, Mr. French! #FridayReads 📚

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Here’s an eclectic #LastFourWatched 🎥

🍁

I guess it’s time for #FridayReads! Time to get cracking on this one, helped by my custom bookmark received for Father’s Day!

Another school year done here in Ontario, congrats to all the teachers and enjoy the break. On a personal note I hope both my kids have excellent teachers and minimal disruptions to learning for the new cycle starting September. You only get to be a small child once, and they deserve the best.

The time has come! For light and life. #FridayReads

Let there be peace.

Got a good physical/audio duo going on. One is the very epitome of a doorstopper Fantasy book, the other a physics primer that actually has me lol-ing. #FridayReads #BookSky 📚

I read to both my daughters for bedtime tonight and life is good.

Sad to hear about the passing of Marc Garneau. He was the first Canadian to go into space and flew on three space shuttle missions. RIP.

I post such things as part of my continuing endeavour to be The Internet's Most Boring Man. 😅

I just bought some absolutely gorgeous cherry tomatoes grown right here in Ontario. 🍅 If nothing else I am much more sensible about where the produce I buy for my family comes from these days, for reasons both political and environmental, so I guess that's a silver lining.

I reviewed RAVENLOFT: THE HEIR OF STRAHD by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social, muah-hahahaha 🧛🏻‍♂️

Don’t see it happening now. Credit to PSG, it’s not often these days you see a team play where they all seem to have such a clear idea of what they want to do with the ball in every possible location on the pitch. Inter looking shell-shocked.

Kind of a ho-hum #UCLFinal for me so far but plenty can still happen, particularly if Inter can scrounge a goal somehow and rattle PSG in the slightest.

Sorry Inter no way I can still root for you after reading this.

For those keeping track the last scene of 3 Days of the Condor is still a complete banger. 🎥 #Filmsky

Post a great Peter David comic. #RIPPAD

It's a long book! but now at 85%. 😅 #FridayReads #BookSky 📚

Put the recycling out on the curb a day early. Not sure how I’ll ever show my face in this subdivision again.

I had never actually seen it start to finish! ⛳️ 🎥

Sucks to suck, Bell. Only a minor inconvenience for me being unable to pay for an overpriced coffee this morning but it puts into perspective how many people and businesses depend on reliable service. I think we need more robust and active regulation in this country.

😈

As a neutral here’s my one contribution to the #FACupFinal discourse: Bernardo, you are a bald man. Time to accept it.

#LetterboxdFriday I have had fun

I know everyone in Toronto is allegedly watching the hockey game but could someone still explain to me why our Blue Jays are dressed like small town pot dealers?

I'm more than 25% through THE DRAGON REPUBLIC by @rfkuang.bsky.social on audio and ebook, with Emily Woo Zeller crushing it on narration duties as usual. #FridayReads #BookSky 📚

SPOILER ALERT: It turns out that Helm Hammerhand was kind of an asshole? 🎥

I met a dog walking to the bus stop this morning and it has made my day infinitely better.
