The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

🐐 season.
Fun fact: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.8 points on 68.6% true shooting, the highest TS% in a 30 PPG season in NBA history.

He's committing 1.7 turnovers, the fewest in a 30 PPG season since turnovers were tracked fully in 1983-84.

Use it lose it. Toronto has never been serious about doing something more with Exhibition Place but Doug Ford is circling now. Urgent 🚨 but also an opportunity w coming FIFA attn to show off some innovation & Indy race gone = more flexibility. My @torontostar-rss.bsky.social column.
Shawn Micallef: Use it or lose it: Doug Ford’s new law is a wake-up call for Toronto to come up with fresh ideas for Exhibition Place — and fast
Now that the pressure is on, we should think big about what the site could be used for.

It has “Christmas In Hollis” and “Let It Snow.” It has Christmas packing tape and a Christmas tree at a Christmas party. It has a Santa suit and “HO-HO-HO.” It happens at Christmas and involves a visit for Christmas. This is not a hard question.
