I may spend too much time in armchairs following sports, comedy and eating.

@atrupar Is he putting the medal on Taylor Sheridan dressed up for a role in one of his 8,000 tv shows?

Jordan Staal is the first player to score in five straight games to start a Stanley Cup Final since Jean Beliveau in 1956. Maurice Richard (1951) and Cyclone Taylor (1918) are the only other players to do it.

@andystrickland Most importantly, Vegas is the @NHL blatant darling franchise.

@TSNRyanRishaug The cliff this organization has fallen off since Jeff Jackson took full control followed by letting Ken Holland walk just to hire the incredibly underwhelming and overrated Stan Bowman (daddy’s name doesn’t hurt him) is startling.

@RickBellwrites Old Boozebag Dreeshen claiming never saw a cyclist on that busy bike lane outside McDougall is mighty rich.

Incredibly, this was the 16th straight playoff series where Connor McDavid registered at least a point per game. Belief is he was severely compromised and playig through serious pain.

@ryanwhitney6 Rookie 4th centre crushing them on big draws is wild too.

@hckooks Same as their bullshit “it’s not when the whistle went, it’s when they intended to blow the whistle”. If there’s a way to make something unnecessarily convoluted, the @NHL will find it 11 times out of 10.

The Islanders are officially eliminated from playoff contention. The last time the Isles, Rangers and Devils all missed the playoffs in the same year .... Never.

I hate to have to call a Premier a blatant liar, but that’s exactly what’s happening.

There is no way for me to have a “change of mind”. The #ForeverCanadian petition was filed under the “legislative pathway”, not “constitutional” one, which demands a vote in the Legislature.

Fred Couples on Augusta National today: "Well, it's fun. It's very fun. It's fun at all times. It's challenging at all times. But it's getting really, really firm. ...

"Again, it's Augusta National. It's supposed to be like that. ... You fly it a little far, goes over the green. Fly it a little short, you come up short and the chipping is hard. For the really good players I think they want it like this.

"By the way, Rory may never lose this thing again after last year. I said that on about the 12th hole to my caddie."

“William, CBS has a new crime show and they feel you’re perfect for it.”

“Great, what’s it called?”

“Jake and the Fatman.”

“I’m not going to be Jake, am I?”

“You will, in fact, not be Jake.”

There was a certain kind of humor that didn’t explain itself, it just dropped you into the moment and trusted you to catch up. That was The Far Side.

Created by Gary Larson, the single-panel comic ran from 1980 to 1995, appearing in over 1,900 newspapers at its peak. Larson’s work stood apart, no recurring characters, no punchlines spelled out, just surreal, slightly absurd snapshots of life where cows talked, scientists misfired, and humans were often the punchline.

The books became staples. Collections like The Far Side Gallery sold millions of copies worldwide, turning what could’ve been throwaway daily comics into something people kept, reread, and quoted for years.

And then, at the height of its popularity, Larson simply stopped, retiring the strip in 1995 with little warning, choosing creative closure over endless repetition. That’s part of why it still feels sharp today. It never overstayed.

Larson’s cartoons were so influential that biologists informally named a species of louse “Strigiphilus garylarsoni” in his honor, after one of his insect-themed jokes amused a researcher enough to make it official.

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history.

In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes directly to the Province, and the City is legally required to collect this massive tax increase.

For a typical $706,000 home:
🔺 Province: +$339
🔹 City: +$49

We did our work to restrain spending while focusing on safety and core infrastructure. The City’s increase is 1.81%.

The total increase is about $388, with the overwhelming majority driven by the Province.

@JasonGregor When is it on this coach? It’s almost 3/4 of the season, they’ve changed both goalies and his system is clearly not working. Not saying fire him but time for some accountability from the guy behind the bench.
