You know what? I don’t think Kelis was actually taking about milkshakes in that song.

Does Being Called “Timmy” Make Me Less Manly? | The Walrus Online trolls think it’s cool to attack my masculinity. But “man up” is the lamest advice ever

Will the RFK Jr and MAGA masculinity push make us more healthy? Will it increase our wellbeing?

Nope and nope. Research tells us the opposite is true.

THE TORTOISE'S TALE

He wanted to be a Blue Jay all winter, you could tell. Saying “we” while speaking of the future. And even if he ends up throwing 50 innings and being a coach/mascot, I still like the deal.

"THE WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE & HER JUST OKAY ASSISTANT is everything I want in a cozy mystery. It is witty, clever, & full of heart.
I laughed out loud at the banter, stayed up late trying to piece together the clues, & genuinely didn’t want the book to end."

Hungry for Affirmation, Vulnerable to Scams: As a Writer, I Know the Feeling

Every author I know, myself included, has been indicated by these scam emails for months.

"What a wonderful book to have read as the final book in my 2025 reading year. I'm absolutely not going to be able to explain everything this book holds, but it is a special one with many special moments. I'm sitting here feeling sadness that I won't be with Magic any longer."

Is there any other sport than hockey that decides an international tournament by just playing a different game?

Warmly lit by three candles in the lower left corner, image is of a stone wall with a small, rounded door type opening leading into deep darkness, festooned with cobwebs. The book THESE FAMILIAR WALLS stands in the opening, and emerging from the darkness is text reading "51 DAYS"

a warmly lit stone wall with a small, rounded door type opening leading into deep darkness, festooned with cobwebs. The book THESE FAMILIAR WALLS stands in the opening, and surrounding the book is the quote: Darkness shrouded her room when a sharp sound pulled her itno a bleary wakefulness. She sat up. From downstairs drifted the murmuring voices of her parents and the canned laughter of a sitcom. The out of place noise had been nearer than that.

51 days until THESE FAMILIAR WALLS!

When you're little, awake in bed listening to grownups getting to stay up late, you don't even really notice the comfort and familiarity under the envy that you don't get to stay up that late, too.

The good news is this game showed the gap between Canada and the US has grown since Four Nations (where the final was much more competitive)

Skated them out of the arena and got goalie'd this time.

I hate this for Sid.

Just come out of the locker room 5x5 and dare the IOC to stop you

The Tkachuk brothers would be upset about some of your posts if they could read.

One might call this a heated rivalry

Poor Crosby is watching on some monitor in the trainer's room while McDavid and Celebrini blow breakaways and MacKinnon misses an empty net the size of the Great Wall of China. He's got to be the sickest man in Milan

this is going to be the best damn Mickey Mouse 3v3 bullshit overtime ever

USA is lucky that too many men is not a penalty in an elimination game against Canada in this tournament
