Look at this ridiculous primitive country, casting out its sex pests rather than making them Presidents or Mayors or Supreme Court justices

It took me 3 evening trips, 3 different pharmacies, whom all differed in person and on the phone in terms of their supply, just to get my kids COVID and flu shots. It shouldn’t be this hard Premier Ford. I wish true government incompetence was treated like the scandal it really is. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Elon Musk is once again inciting violence on British streets because the government has taught him there are literally no consequences for doing so. They even carry on using his far-right social network to promote government policy as he does it. The absence of backbone is *astounding*.

Gonna talk in entomology class today about how Jewish scientists forced to work in Nazi concentration camps secretly sent fake vaccines to the eastern front and managed to kill 4,000 Nazis with typhus.

Tim Cook was Wayne Gretzky of Canadian historical research & writing. Everybody else will be playing catch-up forever. I spent some time researching 1st & 2nd War baseball. I had questions for Tim, but no pedigree, no reason for he to take time, go digging. He did both. Helped when didn't have to.

Not my place. Not my car. But they’re mine today!

53 years ago today, Jackie Robinson died at age 53. “I owe more to Canadians than they’ll ever know,” Robinson said about his time in Montreal. “In my baseball career they were the first to make me feel my natural self.” We owe you, Jackie. And we still owe you to do better.

The remarkable images, among the earliest photographs known to have been taken in Toronto, are attributed to William Armstrong. The Rosedale house once stood near what is now 30 Rosedale Road, but it was demolished by 1905.

Ten veterans of the War of 1812 were photographed on October 23, 1861 at "Rosedale", the former home of William Botsford Jarvis. #OnThisDay #OTD #1860s #Warof1812 #war #veterans #photography #memorial #reunion #RosedaleToronto #history #torontohistory #Toronto #Canada #jeremyhopkin

Last night Vladdy said he was “born ready,” and somebody at Rogers, paying attention, used The Hip’s “Grace Too” as the bumper song before the ninth inning tonight, Gord Downie singing “born ready for you…” #wantitall #bluejays

📌This Ontario, Canada, commercial is the truth, sheer brilliance, and should spread like wildfire across the United States.

Holy shit. Game 7 between the Jays and the Mariners just ran an pro-free trade ad, targeted to American workers, decrying tariffs. The twist being that, if you don't catch it beforehand, Ronald Reagan is revealed as the speaker in the closing seconds. What PAC is this? The Province of Ontario.

Just thinking back to this photo because …

Walk Ohtani. Every. Single. At bat. #wantitall #bluejays

Canvassing with candidate, Ottawa, 2006 Canadian federal election. Woman asks us, “are you running against Bush?” …after 6 seconds of stunned silence, candidate said “we’re certainly opposed to his politics,” she said we had her vote.

At the 12 second mark, that camera operator called an audible and just said "fuck it, the lane is clear, no tripping hazards, I'm winning a Sports Emmy for cinematography right now"

Alright, I’ve done all I can… #bluejays #wantitall

Sharing this 102 year old WW2 Vet who is fighting fascism a second time.

Is it just me or could the wait list for MRIs in the public system be significantly reduced if all these MRIs in the private system were put into the public system

@jeremyhopkin.bsky.social Jeremy, any clue where these Toronto stadiums are located? Mid century. That "Olympia" building in second image is most baffling. Anything look familiar? #toronto

They’re losing because of all the American Stars and Stripes bunting around Rogers Centre… when every Home Depot around here sells plenty a July 1st bunting… #bluejays @bluejays.com

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say. Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion. Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies. Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

The Blue Jays are using American, Fourth of July, bunting to decorate SkyDome. In the past, they’ve used Canadian, red and white, bunting with a Jays logo at centre. Hey #bluejays can we get rid of the American branding around the house? @torontobluejays.bsky.social

@wilnerness.bsky.social Mike, I notice the Jays are decorating the dome with the traditional (American) bunting, stars, stripes, red, white, blue. In years past, the club has used Canadian bunting, red and white with Blue Jays logo in centre. Now of all times… to whom do I complain?

A moment that crystallized fandom: why you put up with the cost and the traffic and the too-small, plastic seats and the losing and the losing and the losing. You do it for moments like this, even in absence of banners, these moments are what fans remember, and for a reason. Well done Mike.

I worked really hard on this for a very long time and am incredibly proud of it. It’s a long read, but for #Bluejays fans who remember that one swing a decade ago and all the madness that surrounded it, it will be well worth it. Please give it a look!

The best.

Fellow 90’s late night nerds… why is the host of the Tonight Show also hosting a stupid reality show? Can you imagine how much scratch they’d have needed to toss at Dave or Johnny to get them to bolster Wednesday’s prime time shit fest?

I teach 13 year olds. Whenever I bust them doing something they shouldn’t and they do the whole “what? me? I’m innocent of all charges!” schtick, I hit them with the Fat Tony “what’s a murder?!” and they have absolutely no idea why.

It was safer to be a soldier in the deadliest war in human history than to have been a child in a Canadian Residential School:

Directly from Dr. Peter Bryce's report about Residential Schools in Canada. Just sobering and shocking numbers that were known very early into the Dominion's RS policy:

Some interesting facts to share around for National Day of Truth & Reconciliation on September 30: Truth of Residential Schools was known early. Dr. Peter Bryce told the government in 1907 that Residential Schools were death and disease factories. His report was buried, then leaked in the 20's

I’ll just post this now so that people can quote tweet and mock me when he hits a World Series winning homerun. My God, so much of this Vladdy, just a little less of this:

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

This whole "announcement" is one of the most anti-science screeds I've ever witnessed. All of it is absolute dogshit with zero scientific evidence to back it up. Tylenol is safe. Vaccines are safe. This man has no idea what he's talking about. He is a danger to public health.

Lmfao so Jimmy Kimmel didn't even get a full week off.
