It just feels like we’re tracking Ohtani’s flight to Toronto.
Nightswimming but I’m also a sucker for Fall on Me and Rockville
That they’re f—king with us to get our hopes up
Everyone with the “but we never expected them to be in first place at the beginning of Sept” takes - first place is neither here nor there to me. What I’m frustrated by is that this looks like a team poised to go as deep into the post as they have the last three seasons. #bluejays
John I’m-going-to-do-the-same-predictably-dumb-thing-and-hope-for-a-different-outcome Schneider, ladies and gentlemen.
This god damn bullpen. #bluejays
Pete should have gone out and put Little on third and had Clement pitch. #bluejays
Bo should get to punch the entire bullpen.
Yeah. That’s why. #bluejays
hello my name is Doctor Statistics, I have a mathematical proposal for winning elections and it involves subtracting part of my coalition
I mean, sure, yeah, Little, why the hell not. #bluejays
Can we not?
Now, was that so hard?
So there’s a thing I’ve noticed repeatedly from people who are still on X, The Everything App - they’re constantly making weird accusations about Bluesky that don’t make any sense if you’re on here, and I think it’s a sign they’re deeply insecure about posting to X, The Everything App.
Pay Bo all the money. Make Vlad give him some of his. Whatever it takes. Get it done, #bluejays
Score runs. You can’t win games on one damn run. Gah. #bluejays
Completely.
Cracker Barrel Fuhrer will be a good nickname for JD Vance in a week or so, don't you think?
And America sat on its hands until Pearl Harbor
Happy Labor Day 🙂
If Doug and his slugs want to take over, let them do it - but that includes parent calls on bus routes, etc. Inundate constituency offices with phone calls. #onted #onpoli
The concerns the @tdsb.on.ca chair points out that parents can’t call trustees on are operational issues & should never have been routed through trustees. Boards set policy, they don’t operate the org. That said, direct those calls to your local MPP this year. #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...
Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️
That was the part that made me question the whole story.
That's wild. Fractured thoracic vertebrae. Who knew he had a spine after all.
It's not hyperbolic to say that the alt med/wellness industry has been instrumental in the rise of fascism. And Big Pharma has profited from it greatly, which is one reason the industry is supporting Trump.
Today would be a great day for the #bluejays to show even the tiniest amount of character and ability to rise to an occasion.
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
Completely confident we’re going to find the guy who broke in was stabbed in the back as he was running away or something along those lines. There will be some egregious fact that comes to light that shows clearly this was not self-defence.
Every accusation is a confession
Buy the Wonderbread you ache for, Alex. More good bread for me.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Liberals getting excited about Gavin Newsome feels like a person who keeps settling for shitty boyfriends. Like girl, you can do better for yourself - stop thinking you can’t do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and she’s had so many bad exs.
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
The bullpen is a mess and Hoffmann is particularly bad right now. But you can’t beat anyone scoring 3 runs in 2 games, and when your biggest bats fail to deliver the big hits, this will be the result. Scoring runs solves a whole lot of problems.
(My mistake: 3. I was in denial. Nevertheless.)
Like, yeah, Hoffman’s been coughing up with stunning regularity, but also, two runs ought not be insurmountable. But alas
Again, I will say, how many games in which you score one run do you win? #bluejays
Dan said it was a surprising stat and my husband and I, in perfect unison, said, “Not if you’ve been watching.”
I don’t think we’ll need to worry about a lot of playoff games, unfortunately.
Send him on an all-expenses-paid trip to Buffalo.
Much as #bullpenisbad, you don’t often win games in which you score one run. So, they’re a multi-dimensional suck at the moment. #bluejays
Looks like I need to find a new series to watch starting about Oct. 2. Just like every year. #bluejays
Utterly completely believable.
Ffs
All the stories that have come out of FLA in the last, say, 50 years and you think that state is capable of embarrassment? C’mon now
Had a neighbour who, when my kids were young, told them they were headed for a life of crime, based on the fact they were “committing graffiti” on OUR driveway. Anyways, the kids are in/done uni and he died miserable and alone, but otherwise would make an EXCELLENT Floridaman
Even now, GO trains are standing room only from Whitby on in the mornings and not much better in the afternoon. There are going to be so many costly knock-on effects related to this, but with the #onpoli government completely in hock to developers, none of it matters. www.thestar.com/news/gta/wha...
It will never stop amazing me that Americans still believe mid-terms are going to save them. America’s days of free and fair elections are over. Take a look at how Putin’s stayed in power in Russia for the playbook. And it doesn’t matter if it’s Donny or Jr or whoever.
And I’m more convinced than ever that they’re just f—king with us
Which is SUPER-refreshing, tbqh
In the spirit of grace and humanity, I’d just like to take a moment to share a giant middle finger with all the privileged fuckos who normalized this 🖕
America let it happen. Yeah, politicians on the take is an issue but electing politicians who are willing to be on the take and do jack-shit while children die like sitting ducks in classrooms is how you got here.
"The unfortunate decision… is not only harming U.S. distillers, but it's also needlessly reducing revenues for the provinces, and placing unnecessary burdens on Canadian consumers and hospitality businesses." Right. We’ve stopped buying booze entirely because of it. Bars everywhere have closed! 🙄
Absolutely confident he’s just having some plastic surgery and will show up uglier than ever on Tuesday.
Things are going swimmingly in 'Berta. NA leader in measles cases, only province to charge for COVID vaccine, a separatist Trump sycophant for a Premier, repeated attacks against people w/ disabilities, book bans, billions & billions in waste, a $6.3B deficit... www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
I assume this is happening in cities across Ontario. Since when is public health not automatically able to inform doctors of health concerns that could impact their patients? Could journalists please ask who is responsible and how to change course? #onpoli #media
JD Vance will be the Sammy Hagar of Gerald Fords
FASCISM.

Just because it has always happened doesn’t mean it should always happen. #airshow
Well, good in the end though ever so painful to get there #bluejays
Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.
A client is going through a divorce RN because he took 100k out of his IRA to go buy guns, didn't replace the money, and is now being taxed on it. When I describe his wife as 'apoplectic' I think that is, if anything, understating it. There's such a weird consumer pathology at play here
He also doesn’t get that it will clarify for people that issues caused by under-funding have nothing to do with boards, and everything to do with his government. No more extra layer insulating him from blame.
Screw your thoughts. Screw your prayers. And, most of all, screw your unwillingness to protect children.
💯
Wow
Weird that these mass shootings get narratively framed as random violence caused by an imprecise miasma of social pathology and not as independent contributions to a specific and highly organized political program.
Is it perhaps time to remove Lauer???
Frickin’ little league. #bluejays
Why did they pitch to him??? #bluejays
"Students are not allowed to read books in the classroom" is truly some next-level Alberta. I mean, have the Americans even tried this yet?
The words of a dictator. America has fallen. bsky.app/profile/atru...
It's always about 14-year-olds with this guy
That’s gender-affirming care
The great thing about #CrackerBarrel reverting to its old label is, because I have tastebuds and care about my arteries, I was never going to eat there anyway, so nothing to boycott.
‘Murica
Worked great for me, anyway

In Trump America, Kennedy assassinates YOU.
Obviously this never happened and snoop is just showing his full ass for no reason whatsoever.
Old mate takes his grandkids to a movie where toys come to life and the part he has difficulty explaining is a lesbian couple having a baby.
We knew there was a link to Clinton all along. Weirdly, most folks like me tend to want those who engaged in this activity punished, regardless of politics. Tf are you even on about?
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
Husband’s watching the women’s #rugby #WorldCup in another room so I can only hear, not see, the #NZ Haka. Still, goosebumps
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
... to do what Bedard and Klein and so so many other liberals do, which is assume at the outset that it *can't* just be dumb, selfish people believing deliberate lies, that there must be some more charitable explanation, that the thing must be reasonable somehow, through some lens. *Must* be.
Another possible explanation: millions of dumb, selfish people were deliberately lied to by a billionaire-funded right-wing propaganda apparatus with the explicit goal of enraging them & hurting the Dem administration. Dumb, selfish people believed lies. Doesn't that ring a little more true?
Oh yes the well known pineapple farms of Canada
I can’t believe doing nothing but in the most annoying way possible isn’t working www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Chief among those who oppose LGBTQ2S+ rights: Pierre Poilievre. He’s already been posting anti-trans hate. They’ve learned nothing from losing an election that should have been a cakewalk for them. They don’t understand they’re in a hate-filled echo chamber.
Using Doug Ford as inspiration??? #onpoli
Canada's RFK Jr, folks
I’m SHOCKED, I tell you, that she would say such a thing just days after he moved her to cushy prison instead of sex offender jail.
At least
by the way: the unusual sourcing invitation tag on the NYT reporters’ bylines, combined with the time lag between the well resourced July reporting/photographs and the August publication date, is 👀 to me
