BREAKING: Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody.

Smart, fascinating convo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pFF...

Damn, I hate it when things that happen mean nothing :-(

Smith will chair yet another task force. No topic is beyond her reach and expertise. No minister is worth her trust.

3 MPs have now quit on Pierre Poilievre: Alain Rayes to sit as an Independent; d’Entremont to the Liberals; Jeneroux to leave the House. #cdnpoli

The facial hair has really come along.

New study finds that 80% of Canadians with the strongest belief in disinformation vote Conservative “80% of the most disinformed Canadians support the CPC.”

According to an email obtained by The Narwhal, MAGA Energy’s revenues had dropped and the company was in “survival mode” when Alberta allowed it to acquire 170 oil wells. Now, the company isn’t paying its bills to landowners and owes taxes to at least one municipality. thenarwhal.ca/maga-energy-...

For me, this is at the crux of the UCP's use of the notwithstanding clause.

Sad that Victoria’s looking to get rid of the bike valet that has over 11,000 annual visits and reduces theft when its annual budget is only 0.2% of police budget or 6 taxpayer funded parties hosted by the police... #yyjpoli #yyjbike #yyj #victoriabc

Did Knee-Jerk Contrarianism Ruin the New York Times?

The CEO of the world’s most valuable company just said: “China is going to win the AI race.” Hard truth: AI runs on electricity. China can now generate power for roughly 1/8 the US cost thanks to solar, wind & hydro. You can’t win the AI race burning fossils. ⚡🇨🇳 #AI #EnergyTransition #Geopolitics

Per Dan Shulman, viewership in Canada for Game 7... Average: 10.9 million Peak: 14.5 million (bottom of the 9th inning) More than 1/3rd of the country!!! 👀📺🧢 #BlueJays #WorldSeries www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRon...

This is some smart analysis (and eases the sting in convincing ways if you're a Jays fan). And as ever with @davidjroth.bsky.social, I'm in awe of the craft -- e.g. this line (about the Brewers): "Whatever ineffable thing had been at work there was, by the series' end, pretty convincingly effed"

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT!

oh no please dont make the young, good looking, energetic politician the face of the franchise

Poilievre to floor-crossing MP: "My leadership style is fine you cuck beta soyboy!"

Mamdani: “We won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do.”

Little things become symbols. And symbols are what stick with people. This budget is full of very very dumb symbols.

The budget includes cuts by department. In this thread, I'll highlight those cuts. First up, Agriculture & Agri-Food. -Agricultural Climate Solution Livings Labs ended -"Reduce certain science activities" -Reducing staff & contractors 1/x #cdnpoli #Budget2025 budget.canada.ca/2025/report-...

I did not have this on my Budget Bingo card: Carney will weaken the anti-greenwashing legislation

cc: @maxfawcett.bsky.social

I guess you can't really support Pathways without also making greenwashing legal at the same time

#Budget2025 backtracks on the longstanding promise to end public financing of fossil fuel projects Instead there's a reference to a 'strategic financing framework' to guide public financing You can bet that will mean more public handouts to oil & gas

Carney's #Budget2025 is a climate flop: -no details on how industrial carbon pricing will be strengthened -more money for CCS & LNG -an axe to the cap on pollution from oil & gas companies -hints that both the clean electricity rules & rules that ban greenwashing will be gutted

Latest from me about how a consortium of companies led by Shell offered at least one community member money as long as they agreed not to raise concerns with "members of the media, the [BC Energy Regulator] or the District of Kitimat."

“This is astonishing; the rate of retreat is just crazy,” said Ted Scambos, a study author and senior research scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder. www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/c...

The #SiteC "lessons learned" report was released—you guessed it—late on a Friday. Original cost: $8B Final cost: $16B Of that $8B overrun, $1.6B was due to COVID. So... #BCHydro spent an extra $6.4B because of its own "miscalculations and mistakes." 💰💰💰 #bcpoli vancouversun.com/opinion/vaug...

Every province needs a Jared Wesley.

A few World Series numbers: #BlueJays outscored the Dodgers 34-26, and out-hit them .269 to .203 However, in Game 6 & 7, Jays went 4-26 with RISP (.154 BA). OPS: .745 for the Jays, .658 for the Dodgers. Total errors: Dodgers 3, Jays 0. Game 6 & 7 both ended with a double-play, and sadness.

It has come to my attention, by way of the Rich Eisen Show, that a baseball wedged under the outfield wall CAN BE (IS?) considered a live ball. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Here is the video evidence (coincidentally, the #BlueJays were involved in this one, too): www.youtube.com/watch?v=pccn...

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Hey. I did a bunch of #BlueJays posts. Can someone recommend a website or app that lets me collect them all into one place and then share it?

#BlueJays ahead 4-2. Top of the 8th. Yesavage gives up solo HR to Muncy. Jays ahead 4-3. Top of the 9th. Hoffman gives up solo HR to Rojas. Tie-game. Top of the 11th. Bieber gives up solo HR to Smith. My dear pitchers. Can we try not hanging juicy pitches in the zone with the WS on the line?
