@theliamnissan But you DO have a particular set of skills. 😉

I am NOT the actor Liam Neeson. Jesus you MAGAts are even dumber than John Fetterman after his sixth catastrophic stroke

@RonaldBrun81863 @fandompulse Your account says “parody account”. So I assume you’re being sarcastic. But in the event that you’re not, Can you go back to a time when he *didn’t* make music with a political message? Not every song. But he’s been writing music with political themes since his first album.

@fandompulse yeah I feel the same way about musicians like Bruce Springsteen. I can’t listen to his music anymore bc he just can’t seem to STFU and stick to music. I didn’t ask for his political opinion.

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

You’re way better than this. And have been for a long time. I’m not trying to be a jerk. I just wanted to point it out as something to think about. 2/2

@FriedgeHNIC Last night on HNIC during the 2nd Intermission of Game 1, you used this analogy regarding a trade - “it’s kind of like dating. The more someone says ‘no’, the more attractive they become”. Really not cool. It normalizes shitty behavior. 1/2

@lynnmercereau “I oNLy WaTch WheN CaNAda ChEAts” 😉

I just know all of you big curling fans from a week ago are watching the Brier right now right?

@MooreintheAM My spouse told me we were “under a yellow snow warning”. I may have laughed a little too hard at it.

Toronto is under a "Yellow" snowfall warning. Chat amongst yourselves.

@Sean_B_taketwo @Conditional1st Ok. Fair point re: personality. (I disagree with him being a giant baby, though.) But tell me. Would you love him if he was a (dirty rotten) Canuck? 😉

@laddie @Conditional1st Haha I don’t think he’s overrated at all, nothing I have to say about him in any way has to do with questioning him as a hockey player. I don’t like him because he’s a giant baby with the personality of particularly boring wallpaper, but he is an outstanding hockey player. 😂

Not only does Celebrini deserve to be on team Canada he deserves to be the guy you have on the ice in the most important moments. Feels like every week he’s coming through in the clutch. Very Crosby like feel to him.

@Sean_B_taketwo @Conditional1st This video just showed up on my ig feed. And it reminded me of our previous conversation. Had to share. 😉 (Even though the ‘small pecker’ lyric might cross a line) instagram.com/reel/DTWrflwES…

@laddie @Conditional1st 😂

@sarjakd @Sean_B_taketwo @Conditional1st How DARE you?! 😆

@laddie @Sean_B_taketwo @Conditional1st No, no, Sean is correct

@Sean_B_taketwo @Conditional1st You left out “ly amazing”. “… AND stupid*ly amazing* McDavid”. Happy to help. You’re welcome. 😉

@Conditional1st Wild that Canada will have him, Crosby, MacKinnon, AND stupid McDavid.

@Isuckatpicking @mrsunshinebaby “Not my fault / Carney is making back room deals / expensive liberals govt”. Possibly a little “axe the tax / stop the crime / build the homes”. You know… the usual.

@mrsunshinebaby Then what happened?

This was probably the sickest visual of the year 🔥 Pierre Poilievre making a badass entrance in Calgary.

@Sean_B_taketwo You’d smile more if you were an Oiler fan. (Not much more. But a little) 😉 Merry Christmas, sir. 🎅🎄

44 today, that’s not ideal but I did kind of sort of smile for a family Christmas photo.

Friday morning reminder, #ExposBaseball

@Sean_B_taketwo I assumed that the name was related to one of the greatest Nintendo games ever. No?

In honour of the Vancouver PWHL name/logo reveal I am compelled to say I have always thought it very rude of ornithologists to so frequently include “common” in their bird names, in this case the Common Goldeneye. “Fuck you, ornithologists” - “Common” birds everywhere probably

@discokuusisto That is not where I’d want a baseball. 🙂

@KPapetti Colby “Dingers for dough” Rasmus.

The Jays are one win away from winning the World Series. It's time to play "remember a guy". Name one (1) random former Jays player from a time when things weren't so great

@gagliese Yep.

@laddie Did you vote?

Who’s home run is bigger? #bluejays

From his Wikipedia page… mission accomplished, I guess? #GarbagePerson
