My favourite thing about this how referee Robin Whitfield calmly trots over then gestures at Bernardin to get up after he's been ironed out all the way to HIA land.

Highlight of the Canada Federal budget today "for fans of the wild and wacky Eurovision Song Contest, the government teased that it's working with CBC/Radio Canada to explore participation in the annual music showdown."

Getting the winter tires/tyres put on. A guy just came in to get his tire pressure checked. Makes me feel much better about my own shortcomings

Months ago there was a rumour about the Walton-Penner group being interested in Sheffield Wednesday which was crazy - today they were apparently at the game. Can I check with any Denver Bronco folk - such as

That's why I was so surprised to find that the ground was part of the Administration package. I thought for sure he would try to hang on to that.
I guess even he has his limits

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

The inevitable denouement of car culture: lonely guys talking to an AI woman as they sit in soul-crushing traffic on their way to a desk job behind the wheel of a vehicle they thought would make them cool and could survive the apocalypse.

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.

Oh no! So sad. A giant of a man and not just by comparison with today's ownership.

Wondering the same. Just got excited about an email that turned out to be some fifa spam for their nft and "Right to buy" offerings.

Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.
