OK, so it’s decided: from 2026 onwards “Crazy On You” is going to replace the deeply confusing “Be My Girl” as Toronto’s “Sweet Caroline”

Who should I pick guys?

Okay, hear me out. What if we changed the #BlueJays postseason narrative from "spunky, pesky dirtbags" to "Ohtani Free Agency Grudge Match"

I have never seen anyone homer on a four-finger intentional walk before but if this inning continues I have a strong suspicion I'm about to

Introducing the #BlueJays to Kendrick's "Not Like Us". Okay, Seattle. All right, we see you.

Congrats @mariners.com — see you Sunday. This is going to be a killer series.

At this point I’m just cheering for more baseball

Just saw @keeganmatheson.bsky.social on TV, didn’t know celebrities were allowed in the champagne room

BULLPEN GAME ALWAYS THE BEST IDEA NEVER IN DOUBT

Absolute legends

[silent Via Rail train from Windsor to Toronto] [Three grown men suddenly kick their chairs, raise arms, point at each other and their earbuds, grinning like schoolboys]

The Blue Jays’ decision to let the Yankees catch up and dangle the tiebreaker in front of them all the way to 162 is just vicious and I love it

That's rough, buddy.

Congrats to Jen Pawol - first female umpire in an MLB game. Catch her umpiring the Marlins-Braves series, starting with Saturday’s double-header working the bases. Then behind the plate in Sunday's game. August 9th: G1 - 10:15am PST G2 - 4:15pm PST August 10th: 10:35am PST

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

Everybody shut up about how it’s not the best hitters and enjoy MLB doing something this goofy and fun on a national stage for a game that doesn’t matter. More of this.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Canadian courts are generally much too polite to write something like this in strict terms of quality control, but after a run of real whoppers on the other side, I’m left asking: if they don’t, who will?

Looks like the Advocates’ Society End of Term Dinner is going to be canceled this year, a development cheered only by my tuxedo

American markets plunge on news of Blue Jays slugger signing lifetime contract in Canada

In fact you could say the market is tariffying

It is with sadness that the Court of Appeal acknowledges the death of the Honourable Thomas Zuber, who served as a judge of the Court of Appeal for Ontario from 1975 until 1990. Read more about his life and legal career here: www.arbormemorial.ca/en/glenoaks/...

TIRED: Buy Canadian instead! WIRED: Buy American while you still can!

The next federal government, of either party, ought to make such skilled-talent drains easier (it's actually extremely hard): - Create a new Canada Scholars program to fund incoming faculty - Ease the huge moving tax penalty - Make it legally possible for them to buy a house

Setting: A House of Commons committee in 1975 :p

Whew, that Best Lawyers ballot takes a long time. 500 ratings to hand out. If you're reading this, I probably gave you a bunch of stars, so congratulations!

In the growing world of AI litigation, class actions are going to be particularly important. In a new paper forthcoming in the Wash. U. law review, I look at how class actions will influence the efficacy of AI regulations, and how they might even open up some new options for regulators. 🧵

📚🚨 LEGAL HISTORY NERDS🚨📚 This is a bill of attainder, yes? I mean, technically it’s not legislated but is that what we’re looking at here? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

It can't happen, but... wouldn't it be crazy if allowing AI to run rampant reduced the utility of social media to such an extent that history remembers it as a crazy generational fad?

That's more than ten times what I'm getting, but then again I play first base

The gym should have a little basket of neon bracelets at the front that you can put on if you're OK with someone pointing out something you're doing wrong and giving you advice. Also there should be red bracelets for people you shouldn't listen to. We're still workshopping this, I'll let you know.

Data showing the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office, while the bottom 12% underperform the bottom 5% in-office, makes sense. Top performers thrive with extra time from no commute, but underperformers struggle without oversight. RTO penalizes top talent for others’ inability.
