@KTrain939913 That’s a picture of Mike Fraser, not Bruce.

Absolutely terrible. Keeping the BC Sports Hall of Fame open during the World Cup would have been a great opportunity for visitors to learn more about BC's amazing sporting history.

Hundreds of motorcyclists will be riding around Vancouver this weekend for a good cause. The 15th annual Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride raises money for Movember. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/05/15/bc-…

@NHL94Podcast I had THAT sticker book! What a flashback.

Anyone else have a hockey sticker book when they were growing up?

Entering a new era. Welcome #Canucks Co-Presidents, Daniel & Henrik Sedin and General Manager, Ryan Johnson!

The Canucks have promoted Henrik and Daniel Sedin to co-presidents of hockey operations, Sportsnet can confirm. Vancouver has also named Ryan Johnson as their new general manager.

I own Draw the Line in multiple formats but last night, in honour of Mr. Douglas, I dug out the original cassette copy I bought when I was 11 and listened to it with fresh ears. Side Two opens with Kings and Queens. Right there, you can hear why he was Aerosmith’s George Martin.

#RIPJackDouglas, one of the great producers forever.

Incredibly sad to hear of the death of Jack Douglas, producer of many brilliant albums, including of course John and Yoko’s ‘Double Fantasy’. ‘John was like a painter who’d not been painting for 5 years..’

R.I.P. Jack Douglas, producer/recording engineer of classic Aerosmith albums Rocks, Toys in the Attic, Get Your Wings, Draw the Line, and recorded New York Doll's debut, Cheap Trick's debut, Alice Cooper "Billion Dollar Babies, John Lennon's Imagine among many, many others.

@jkmnew Iconic.

Need to find one of these some day and put it back in its rightful place 😅

Jack Douglas 1945 - 2026

#RIP, Jack Douglas. Here is a playlist of some (not all) the artists he produced. music.apple.com/ca/playlist/pr…

The Beatles had George Martin, the Rolling Stones had Jimmy Miller, and @Aerosmith had Jack Douglas. Rest well, Jack. And thank you. #RIP

From a collection of short stories called Night Shift. Some of Stephen King’s best work is in the short story format. As a starving young author with mouths to feed, he sold those stories to adult magazines. Check out his Skeleton Crew collection too.

I had a homeroom teacher who tried to ban them.
