back when toothpaste was exciting

Springer actually did this

In a way, that Brendon Little inning in game 5 was like the sacrificial bunt for the Jays this series.

IS THIS WHAT BEING A TORONTO SPORTS FAN CAN F E E L LIKE??

Entering my mind palace until this inning is over.

ERNIE "DO YOU WANT TO SEE BUNTS OR DO YOU WANNA SEE BASE HITS" CLEMENT

Just gotta ride the high of that Springer dinger until further notice, which may be five minutes, but that's sports.

Snake oil happiness.

Lol.

Found this relic in storage from a by-gone era.

I say the Jays still do it.

Put Vladdy on Legend's Row

The issue is just funding and resources. That's it. Really the same as in education. You have to pay for it, and then it works wonderfully.

Gotta say one of the most consistently good public broadcasts is CBC's Ideas.

Those LLMs are absolutely more real to them than we are

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Silicon valley has such deep contempt for anything humanity aside from the potential for its revenue extraction.

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

to me, the judge's final words seemed like she went beyond what she needed to for the sake of being fair under the law. rape is hard to prove. so ok fine, they're acquitted (they shouldn't be and I think the system is broken, but fine) but the tone the judge took felt gross

Watching Adam Curtis' Hypernormalization and being half way through Naomi Klein's Doppelganger is a good way to toss yourself into a strange Tuesday night.

“Progress”

In Sault Ste. Marie next week for work - any recommended places to eat or check out?

Beavertails (food truck) are a culinary abomination.

Canadian indie music hasn't recovered since the loss of the dedicated CBC Radio 3 (Beaver panel) website

All of this Marner stuff can only end with a Leafs or Golden Knights cup win next year.

I love when a classic Misfits song comes on and there's that moment you wonder if your car speakers are busted

the only good "prompt engineer" is when the train driver shows up early for work

This logic is founded on a belief that life is valued as a series of successful transactions and washes away the value of resilience, growth, and the enrichment of the human experiences.

Are these folks expecting the GOP to get "gotcha'd" with these rhetorical questions? I sincerely think so.

Today I cross the stage and finish what I started three years ago. Today I'm graduating. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

The morning walk.

Working like it's 4:00PM on a Friday of a long weekend.

I meant the number of goals they let in for game 7.

JWB

I guarantee you the focus of the last decade, and into the future, on STEM and trades, while downplaying the creation of a civic culture with people capable of critical thinking and governance skills, will prove ruinous.

So we're living out The Running Man timeline huh.

Homeward Bound

If I were the Leafs, I'd just score some goals.

Reminds me of this eternal Ted Chiang banger-

Leafs undefeated in the playoffs when I make tortilla soup (one win).
