Just a wonderful book, especially for a hoops lover like me with his fandom still rooted in the late-1970s and 1980s. It takes a long pause on a slice of basketball history that has, strangely, been yada yada'd my entire life. Every page helped me better understand the legend and the era. @nba.com
We’re about to see the real legacy of the late-stage Dewitt/Mo era. While the team now wishes on prospects and sells at the trade deadline, the Dodges are a couple of years away from stealing the franchise’s championship brand. What is shipping to LA on a 30-foot trophy? #StlCards
How about after three innings of no-show, ushers start bringing real fans and families down from other sections into the green seats to make it look less pathetic on TV? #StlCards
Hard not to be tempted to pick up this article in what I assume is its original Middle English. #GayTalese “As though Fortune hadde turned hir wheel unwares. For sith a prince of song may be brought lowe By no more than a running nose and an hevy heed, What hope hath the remenaunt of us?”
Are we still blaming hybrid work? Good lord. Every one of these articles seems to centre on dragging work back to the 1980s (which, coincidentally, is about the last time these building owners updated these relics of the Mad Men era of work). #LdnOnt
David Macfarlane is a man for all seasons – but you’ll forgive him if he asks that baseball stick to the spring and summer, football to the fall, and hockey to the winter. Check out our chat for #MiramichiReader about his new book from @biblioasis.bsky.social. miramichireader.ca/2026/05/on-s...
Looking forward to this week’s show, @seeingredpod.bsky.social! I know Bernie will yell at me for wanting it, but let’s make a statement and go for the sweep against the champs today. No surrender lineup today. #StlCards
For my American friends, you can think of Kevin O'Leary as the Canadian version of James Corden. We don't know who keeps putting him in front of us, or why, or what he contributes, or even how to stop it, but we wish they would stop, too.
Another in a long line of cool hoops illustrations to grace the cover of #TheNewYorker.
Check out this convo with Oren Weisfeld about his new book on the evolution of Canadian hoops. We talk what it takes to build a national basketball ecosystem, and maybe, just maybe, make a case for basketball as the national sport. #miramichireader #canlit miramichireader.ca/2026/04/the-...
That was a long wait on my computer to update only to discover that the macOS Tahoe redesign makes everything look and feel like a 1970s #TexasInstruments Speak & Spell.
Happy #SiddFinch Day to those who celebrate. #AprilFoolsDay #NYMets #MLB
I didn’t know #Peanuts were still a thing, let alone, so much of a thing that a B List #Peanuts character bobble head is enough to get fans in the gate. Think I’ll hang on for #EudoraPandora. #StlCards
I can’t be the only person to Google “Bert Kreischer” and still have no idea why he was yelling at us on #OpeningDay. Love the generic hoodie @mlb.com forced on him. @netflix.com
Welp, that's one way to approach (and escape) an interview. Not everyone should be trusted with talking points. Great questioning by @craigneedles.bsky.social, but damn, if the PR team thought that would help ... #LdnOnt #stjosephslondon #jouralism #endofourtime www.podbean.com/ew/pb-3yb2s-...
Love Yadi. Period. But ... Isn't this the third or fourth time the team has hired him? Is this further ego stroking or is it finally a thing for him and the team? Would be a great time to have his teachings, but he hasn't exactly been dependable. #StlCards
Wonderful news. Any word on if he'll go into The Hall wearing a trash can with an Astros logo on it?
Proud to say I bought that cassette at a truck stop in high school. That truck stop was the second best record store I had available to me in the Mattoon, Ill. Don't believe that? Let's just say a Barry Manilow Live and Kenny Rogers 'The Gambler' 8-track would like to have a word with you.
There is no paragraph more essential to the #Farhi experience than this one. The guy is a master of promises, press conferences and fanciful drawings. But always remember, it's #FarhiHoldings not #FarhiDevelopments. #LdnOnt #YQG #WindsorOntario
I can make a strong argument that the long, painful, often self-inflicted death of newspapers began 30 years ago today with the final #CalvinAndHobbes strip.
Not sure “why can’t we screw players like we’ve been screwing graduate students all these years” is really the rally cry we’re looking for, but thanks, Nick
This sent a chill down my spine. BD3 taking over should terrify every #StlCards fan. This stuffed quarter-zip projects public disinterest, fan indifference and glaring incompetence every time he opens his mouth.
Want to really scare some people? Start hanging Farhi signs. #LdnOnt
Love to see this same energy for criminals inside the department, as well. How about a 'reverse onus' clause in the next police contract where officers charged with a felony must argue why receiving their pay while suspended is justified? #LdnOnt
Thanks for your emails about today’s #BSL announcement. Just wanted to take a few moments to answer some of your questions: @gamedaylondon.bsky.social
