@TheMonologist No matter what else I’m doing, if I’m flipping channels, and this comes on, I have to watch the whole scene. Even though I’ve probably seen it 100 times before. Chills every time.

“So, eleven hundred men went into the water, 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest. June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.” JAWS (1975) #RobertShaw #RichardDreyfuss #RoyScheider #JohnMilius #StevenSpielberg

@larrynemecek @MrPitbull07 You’re lookin at em.

@MrPitbull07 “Who’s the best pilot you ever saw?” 😄 It was Gordo! The ornery Okie.

May 16, 1963. Gordon Cooper was orbiting Earth alone inside a capsule barely big enough to turn around in, moving at 17,500 miles per hour. He had been up there for over a day. Then the warnings started. First a faulty sensor screaming that the ship was falling — it wasn't. He switched it off. Then something far worse: a short circuit knocked out the entire automated guidance system. The one that kept the capsule steady. The one that was supposed to bring him home. Without it, reentry was nearly impossible. Too shallow an angle and the capsule would bounce off the atmosphere back into space. Too steep and it would incinerate. The margin for error was razor thin — and every computer that was supposed to hit that margin was dead. Down on the ground, NASA engineers watched the telemetry in silence. They could see everything going wrong. They could fix nothing. Cooper didn't panic. He uncapped a grease pencil and drew lines directly on the inside of his window to track the horizon. He looked up at the stars he had spent months memorizing and used their positions to orient the ship by eye. Then he set his wristwatch. Because when you have no computers left, you become the computer. At exactly the right moment — calculated in his head, confirmed by the stars outside — he fired the retrorockets. The capsule shook. The sky turned to fire. For several minutes, no one on Earth could reach him as plasma swallowed the ship whole. Then the parachutes opened. Faith 7 hit the water just four miles from the recovery ship — the single most accurate splashdown in the entire Mercury program. The man with a wristwatch and a few pencil marks on a window had outperformed every automated system NASA had. We talk a lot about technology saving us. And it often does. But Cooper's story is a quiet reminder that behind every machine, there still has to be a human being who can look out the window, think clearly under pressure, and decide what to do next. The final backup was never the software. It was him.

@Einzelkampfer2 @MrPitbull07 @DragonSword778 One of my favourite movies.

@MrPitbull07 Best pilot I ever saw. #IYKYK

@TalkinBaseball_ Came down to one game. One extra play made. No different than the gold medal hockey game. That’s sports. Some days you get the break, some days the other team does. Feel for him.

Logan Webb says Team USA cared more than the other teams about winning the World Baseball Classic

@PatrickETallon 🎯

I’ve been saying all year Montreal isn’t a lock. MSL has made baffling decisions, Montembeault gets endless chances (10 wins), Xhekaj gets ostracized, Carrier/Matheson/Struble face zero accountability, but Demidov gets benched. They’ve cost themselves points all season.

@charlie_savage @davidfrum History, regulations and context.

The Treasury Department is hurtling forward with minting what will now be three different coins with Trump's picture on them -- a $1 that will circulate and two commemorative 24k gold ones nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

@td_nash Close call. LT by a knife blade width.

Out of these two linebackers, who do you think was better?🧐

@ivandemigoal I say he does it!

Cole Caufield can pass Alexander Ovechkin’s All-Time goals record tonight (922) if he scores 764 goals against the Red Wings.

@RTaub_ Grieg did better than I expected

Brayden Schenn can still throw down with the best of them!

@sarobertsonca Big, if true.

POILIEVRE: "We are the only thing between you and Russia -- you forget that sometimes. I mean, other than Santa Claus, he's up there too. But he's not going to protect you from the Russians."

@jabo_vancouver Bure was part of believed team that lost Game 7 of Cup final. Quinn, not so much.

My one cent on a Quinn Hughes jersey retirement. I can remember a lot of bitterness between #Canucks fans and Pavel Bure when he left. Time does heal some wounds and the greatness of that player is remembered more fondly than the negatives. Let's see where we are in 15 years.

@Cards4Fun4 @nut_history Dawson. Specifically asking to have the Expos logo taken off his cap at Cooperstown

@5150Inprogress @nut_history Or Andre Dawson?

Who’s on your Mount Rushmore of Expos players?

@Carolina_2463 🎯

Seems like the NHL doesn’t really care about its players. 31 other GMs had the opportunity to back Tulsky on exploring harsher punishments for checks to the head and not one of them said anything. Remember this when players continue to deal with brain trauma later in their lives.

@AlTheBoss03 Chipper Jones.

Name an MLB prospect who lived up to every bit of the hype. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just greatness. I’ll start: Ken Griffey Jr.. The Kid didn’t just meet expectations—he blew past them. 630 HRs, effortless swing, and a first-ballot Hall of Fame career. Your turn .

@Liberty_Roads @JasminLaine_ I voted conservative all of my life. He’s just a highly unlikeable and smug. Enlighten me. Tell me what those solutions are. Send me a list of all of these solutions.

@5150Inprogress @JasminLaine_ Conservatives have solutions, you just refuse to see it

“So why did you lose?” Joe Rogan seems baffled that Canadians had anything bad to say about Pierre Poilievre based on how sensible and effective his policies would be.

@Wanita1 @dckurek @PierrePoilievre @joerogan @MarkJCarney @TheDailyShow 🎯

@dckurek @PierrePoilievre @joerogan @MarkJCarney @TheDailyShow Mark Carney wasn’t PM then & not wasting our money like Pierre is doing now I believe. Poilivre is on vacation. He isn’t doing anything worthwhile for the country.

Seeing the double standard on display... ​Liberals and pundits are calling out @PierrePoilievre for going on @JoeRogan to promote Canadian interests. Meanwhile, @MarkJCarney literally launched his campaign for Prime Minister on @TheDailyShow (a US TV show) and prefers foreign venues like Davos and The Economist for policy discussions. ​Pierre and the CPC are hard at work as part of Team Canada. It's a shame the Liberals only agree with a "Team Canada" approach when it's them.

@Kara_Wagland @OverDrive1050 Kara has made 3 great points in the first 8 minutes. She’s the Barry Bonds of this show already.

@imnotsponsored @permalurka @JasminLaine_ You’re free to have any opinion you want. Just like I am. The difference is I won’t engage with you unless I know who you really are. Bye

@permalurka @5150Inprogress @JasminLaine_ Lmao, is this what you’re doing to discount other peoples opinions?
