There is no more peaceful and serene grocery shopping experience than in a Boston area store while the Patriots are playing the Super Bowl. I saw 2 other customers the whole time. Staff outnumbered us at least 5:1

Too bad, slopguy

Remember the 1920s when nobody was left-handed

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Having to face Yamamoto a third time should have been illegal

Springer and Bichette rn:

It’s like nobody recognizes that instead of Albert Einstein, it’s Rich Little doing an Albert Einstein impression.

And Eric Lauer chews up more innings than Max Scherzer, just as we all predicted.

The announcers keep saying that both teams are almost out of pitchers, but they’re forgetting that pitchers and catchers report soon.

But wait, I was led to believe the Blue Jays would be overwhelmed by the star-studded Dodgers rotation…

BLUE JAYS!!!!!!!

is it too early to give vladdy another extension

Gotta love when your opponent hits back-to-back jacks and it doesn’t even lower your win probability. Pre-dingers? 99.9%. Post-dingers? 99%.

As of right now, the Jays have actually outscored the Mariners this series.

Of course, after looking like the Blue Jays’ weakest link over the last two games, the bullpen came up BIG tonight. Go Jays!!!

Treyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Alright Blue Jays!!!

As a card-carrying member of Team Eric Lauer, I am totally on board with the active roster for the Blue Jays against the Yankees. I probably would have swapped in Loperfido for Santander, but it’s not a hill a would die on either. Go Jays go!

You know, it would be pretty funny if the Jays pass the Yankees in run differential before the season ends.

In high school there were a few minor issues I made my voice very clear on. Stupid rules that existed for stupid reasons. Time & again, the lesson I was taught was to stand up for what I believe in, BUT not here, not now. This isn't the time or the place It never is, except it always is

Today’s @theglobeandmail.com front page.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I really wish Americans would stop treating the continued existence of Canada as the sort of thing they can do amusing thought experiments about.

Canadian sovereignty is not a thought experiment. This is disgusting, PBS.

Trump’s gonna claim the Chiefs won

I also want to emphasize: the informal tools we have at our disposal to address the threat Musk presents to this country are extremely viable. Musk's power derives almost entirely from Tesla, which is highly vulnerable to boycott, divestment, and sanctions of all kinds. We have to embrace that power

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

“it’s probably a black person’s fault this bad thing happened” as a reflexive explanation is just a racist statement, there’s not a level of substantiation that makes it not racist bsky.app/profile/pgou...

Hamilton Nolan nails it.

I want to plaster this from coast to coast, as we approach the Canadian federal election.

Sorry, I mispoke and said this BANGER was written by Rebecca Solnit but it was another GOAT - Rebecca Shaw. Read every word because it's so painfully on point. And that headline? 🔥

Raptors ethical tank season vibes back on.

There's something I need people to understand. The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad. The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Um, yeah. I think I’m going to find it easy to root for Immanuel Quickley.

Dorothy Parker to Robert Benchley, December 31, 1929. Happy New Year!

Last night I was visited by three ghosts, and I have to say, this little device paid for itself already...

Am I the only idiot whose internal voice pronounces this site as though it rhymes with “brewski” every time I open the app? Even though I know what it’s supposed to be, my brain won’t stop. “Bloo-skee!”

What is the loudest sound ever recorded you ask? Some might guess the explosion of the Tunguska meteor over Siberia. Others might suspect the eruption of Krakatoa. Nice try. Those are mere whispers, compared to sound of 8 tween girls gathered to celebrate my daughter’s recent 12th birthday.
