This is my story about surviving a sudden cardiac arrest while playing beer league hockey. Two other players saved my life. Not all #hockey heroes play in the #nhl. slate.com/human-interest…

Here's the thing. While @NHLBruins haven't sunk to Sabers-level crappiness, this season shows just how much Bergeron meant to the team. Irreplaceable, short of a trade for Barkov.

@bernardtjoy Right after getting my B.A., I got a nasty virus (mono, they said, but no one really knew) and was sick for months. I stayed with my parents, and my mom bought me, one at a time, the Oxford Illustrated Dickens editions, so sick in bed, I read like all the novels. Bleak House!

Sixteen very welcome new additions to the library today!
So, it may be a good time to ask: which is your favourite work by Charles Dickens?

Plus, even if you’re put off by the novel’s reputed difficulty, this edition has a fantastic introduction.

Some novels are never really read but only ever abandoned.

#NHLBruins have the best logo and uniforms in professional sports. Can’t stand the Oilers’ logo and uniforms. McDavid would look so much better as a B.

We all know the usual suspects of modernism. Woolf, Joyce, Pound, Eliot, Mann, Barnes, etc.
But who do you think are the unsung needle-movers of literary modernism?
Looking to flesh out that era of my reading.

Jonathan Richman? Robert Pollard, for sure. And Dinosaur Jr!

who are the other journeymen of music? the ones who, like albini, think of themselves as workers and not artist-genuises? so far all i can think of is bob mould.

Which #NHL player (current and all-time) most looks like a hockey player?

My mom died far away (I was in the ICU; long story) over a year ago. I still pick up my phone like every few days instinctively to call her before I remember and stop. Breaks my heart every time. Not even sure what I’d say, but, man, would she have a lot of questions for me.

A little over a year ago, my wife was zooming with her mom when I heard her laughing. So I went over and said hi to her. We chatted for a minute, and then I figured I was taking over the call, so I waved and said, "I love you, mom," and went about my way. Shortly after that, she got a UTI, which spiraled out of control, and before we knew it, she was on her deathbed. I couldn't get there before she was in the hospice, unable to speak. About 4 days later, she passed. The last words she ever heard me say to her were, "I love you, Mom." Now, I make sure it's the last thing I say to the people I love.

MacKinnon’s the best player in the world and #nhl this year and should win the Hart by a massive margin. Why’s this even a conversation? Definitely not even an Avs fan here.

Why hockey fans everywhere love the #NHLBruins I’ve feel like I’ve had Jack Edwards’s back way more than like even Marchand’s.

Hahahha this is belligerent

Plus, that photo. Bet his next move was biting off that filter before taking another drag.

Inherent Vice is a masterpiece and the Pynchon novel I’d recommend reading first (although my first was Lot 49). But M&D is a masterpiece too; it’s hard to see it grouped with Vineland and Bleeding Edge. And V should have its own category - maybe Oddball or something.
Byron's Glowing Filament@OedipasKvass
Upon finishing my reread of all Pynchon's novels, I now release: My potentially controversial ranking! Masterpiece: 1. Gravity's Rainbow 2. The Crying of Lot 49 3. Inherent Vice Amazing: 4. Vineland 5. Mason & Dixon 6. Bleeding Edge Great: 7. Against the Day Okay: 8. V (1/8)

Tusk is a woefully underrated ‘90s record and an influence on OK Computer even, despite coming out in 2003. The Camper Van Beethoven version, that is, not to be confused with a Fleetwood Mac album of the same title.
