I’m going to try and be in a better mood over here.
It’s crazy to walk into something with no expectations (because of the no phones policy) but also high expectations (because it’s Phoebe Bridgers) and still get blown away.
Especially at an arena show. Top 3 arena show I’ve ever seen:

Me too! My father took me to see this and all I remember now is being terrified at something.
My mom had to take me out of the theater during Ghostbusters II
In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

So I quit my job yesterday and went to a Phoebe Bridgers concert.

This isn't my local street (Port Union) but it could be.
The number of accidents here is ridiculous and people are saying that the problem is that the lanes are too narrow. Never mind the fact that city actually installed a 2nd NB lane to help drivers.

IG keeps feeding local CTV news stories by one particular reporter who goes places & gives endless time to people complaining about the city's traffic calming, little about WHY it's there. Recent was a street in Scarborough that got a bike lane + protective curbs. Limp noodle councillor given time.

"This is more than just the normal political griping. For whatever reason, many who have worked closely with Bradford over the past eight years think he is almost uniquely unlikable."
That's the Brad that I've heard stories about.

Look, if we can get this thing below COVID levels then that's a big win.
Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”

I thought they Blue Jays would be run away with the team that torments me the most this year but Arsenal's women's team is already giving them a run for their money.

I actually underestimated how bad this was.
I don't even know how you appropriately punish something egregious short of sending them to the National League.
Though I don't think that's what's going to happen.

That is an absolutely massive sporting fraud.

Does anyone know of a restaurant (that isn't the Old Mill) that offers traditional Thanksgiving dinner and would be good for a 10 and 7 year old?
Found some places with prix fixe menus but nothing for kids.

Already had to suffer through this at the summer BBQ. Not sure I can do it again.
At the BBQ, the conversation ended when I said "Good. He should take Rogers for every last dime. Not my money."

I'm trying to remember which Arsenal match it was (Sunderland?) but the number of tactical fouls on both sides was ridiculous.
The problem is that they aren't mandatory yellows...because no ref wants to give out a yellow in the 2nd minute.

Ed Sheeran trying to thread the “I’m not taking any sides in Gaza” needle is like 100x funnier with the revelation that every other non-Macklemore artist affiliated with the tour was apparently Irish.
