This was a good read.

I’m not one to celebrate someone’s death, but I’m also not going to mourn someone who caused so much damage to so many people. So...not RIP, but...smell ya later? I dunno.

“WhetherPillar was at his breaking point or not, he wouldn’t have used that particular word if he weren’t comfortable with it.”

An Atlanta writer went off on the Jays last night & someone posted this in response. This was 25 years ago & has little relevance today, but it still made me laugh (& made me all wistful & shit).

I had to explain to my aunt & uncle why those comments from Gibbons had people pissed off. It was an exercise in futility & I never did get that time back.

“Don’t let it define me”

Agree with everything you said. I’ll also say I LOVE the city of Ottawa - haven’t been in a long time but last time I was there I had a blast at the market, & hung out with the cats on Parliament Hill. It was fall and it was BEAUTIFUL. But yes, 100% on your last paragraph especially.

Crosby should not be playing. Even when injured he often still has that Crosby ability to be the best player on the ice & drag his team to a win. The fact that he isn’t even CLOSE to being able to do it tells me he’s fuuuucked up.

I’m Canadian and just looking at that glowing pick gif is making me agitated.

I thought that, too, but mainly because he’s trying to piggyback Odor’s punch. Can you shit talk someone using something you weren’t involved in and wouldn’t do yourself? I mean, evidently you can, but should you? Do it yourself and you can talk all the shit you want, but...well.

“And, to their reflexively defensive fans: Why would you ever give the slightest shit if national ratings are bad, or if I, some rando on the internet, find their games a little less fun to watch. Enjoy winning, buttheads.”

“Or are we hedging around that word because we think not calling out what he said would be better for all involved?”

Pretty sure we know what Pillar said. Pretty sure I’m really disappointed :/

Je m’excuse, Karim, mais you are quite obviously full of merde.

“which is why you never see salt & vinegar Doritos”

Christ, it feels like the Cavs have been waiting for WEEKS for the next round. Maybe I just blocked the sweep from my mind.

Right? Like, why are you reading WaPo then...? I know the answer - so they can scream their favourite words at people in the comments, like snowflake! and libtard! and such (autocorrect changed libtard to libraries... there’s a joke in there somewhere...) But still...?

That’s what happened to my Blueberry Muffin doll. Got caught up in that Purple Pie Man crowd.

Same, lol.
