For my American friends, you can think of Kevin O'Leary as the Canadian version of James Corden. We don't know who keeps putting him in front of us, or why, or what he contributes, or even how to stop it, but we wish they would stop, too.

Another in a long line of cool hoops illustrations to grace the cover of #TheNewYorker.

Four straight hits. A classic #StanekSombrero. #StlCards

Is someone trying to convince me that these are two different people?

Check out this convo with Oren Weisfeld about his new book on the evolution of Canadian hoops. We talk what it takes to build a national basketball ecosystem, and maybe, just maybe, make a case for basketball as the national sport. #miramichireader #canlit

The #WindsorStar wrote exactly one story (and it was a puff piece promo for the casino game from a press release) about the #WindsorExpress this season. One. A missed opportunity, with a growing, diverse hoops fan base in area, and a roster packed with Detroit guys. Lame. #BSL #YQG

He’s been amazing. Can you imagine the season he could have if he was able to face Cardinals pitching? #StlCards

Chicago Turns All Public School IDs Into Library Cards To Boost Student Access Chicago Public Library and CPS announced the expansion of The 81 Club, building on a pilot launched in 2022 to give students access to the library system's vast collection and databases.

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

"All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources."

That was a long wait on my computer to update only to discover that the macOS Tahoe redesign makes everything look and feel like a 1970s #TexasInstruments Speak & Spell.

It drives me insane how @tsnofficial.bsky.social consistently misses the opening 45 seconds of tipoff or half by letting its studio hosts ramble on. #FinalFour

A novelist and a boxing historian sit down to talk throwing punches in anger, face swapping, and #LouReed, plus lots of about Nadia's amazing book. My thanks to #MiramichiReader and @literalnobody.bsky.social for letting us play in this sandbox. #Boxing #CanLit

What makes this accomplishment even more amazing is that he didn’t have the advantage of facing Dustin May. #StlCards

What’s cool is how well rested the players on this terrible team will be! (Also, thanks for being a #StlCards media voice on here!)

Bold strategy going with the getaway day lineup on the first game of the series. #StlCards

I didn’t know #Peanuts were still a thing, let alone, so much of a thing that a B List #Peanuts character bobble head is enough to get fans in the gate. Think I’ll hang on for #EudoraPandora. #StlCards

Knowing this franchise too well, I should have expected the first two games of the “let the kids play” season to feature way too much of 34-year-old journeyman Ryne Stanek. #StlCards

I can’t be the only person to Google “Bert Kreischer” and still have no idea why he was yelling at us on #OpeningDay. Love the generic hoodie @mlb.com forced on him. @netflix.com

Maybe also with fewer dance numbers.

Amen! This is the Bernie we need for the rebuild years. There's too much forgiveness in local media now. Fans need this Bernie to hold franchise feet to the fire so this rebuild doesn't go on forever. #StlCards

Yikes. Was Larry Bigbie busy? Even looks like the Opening Day first pitch lineup is going through a rebuild. #StlCards

Looking forward to picking up his official jersey in the fan store in 2028, or whenever they clear out all those Walker jerseys from the last three years. #StlCards

We live in a world in which such notices are necessary in published fiction. Both sad and ridiculous.
