Brandon Valenzuela needs to stay on the roster when Alejandro Kirk returns. I really don't care about "asset management" talk. The #BlueJays need to win as many baseball games as possible and Valenzuela clearly gives them the best chance to do that.

Enjoyed @blakemurphy.bsky.social chat with Sean Keys today: he was the first Jay signed card I ever pulled myself! I have a feeling he’s gonna be a player!

Our first ever constituency MSP! 💚 The first step in what will be a record Green election result. 🙌

Purchased today. I suggest you do too.

Sadly, this is exactly as the Scottish music community predicted. The Bland Broadcasting Corporation.

Loved today’s @thewalkoffpodcast.bsky.social Excited to see what comes next. I’ll start up the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 fan club edition! Shout if you ever want someone who sounds like he was in So I Married An Axe Murder on!

I wrote up the Cody Ponce signing and did some terrific headline work if I may be so bold

Fantastic show from @brokenchanter.bsky.social and Jill Lorean at The Glad Cafe this afternoon. No pics as just listening and enjoying.

Schneider says Scherzer was already asking for the pitching plans right after Game 7. "Max, I'm having a beer."

For anyone who raised a brow at the fact Godspeed is playing a TD-branded stage tonight:

When 100 thousand trans people rallied in London it was only worthy for the "local news" section.

Picking up the latest @ronsexsmith.bsky.social from a local indie record shop in Glasgow. That’s a Friday done well already!

One month apart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚🇵🇸 There's much work ahead to actually implement this policy, but Scotland's Parliament has voted for our government to boycott apartheid Israel. An historic moment.

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

Loved hearing @blakemurphy.bsky.social talk Pixies and MCR on Jays Talk Plus. I’d made the pilgrimage from Scotland too. I couldn’t get the Jays game on the wife though! Gig was awesome tho! Great seats. Back at Rodgers Centre for the Rays series in September!

At last. My preorder in the UK was a no show but a wee trip to Toronto this weekend has borne fruit @keeganmatheson.bsky.social - yay!

Was going to buy this, read the back cover and it talked me out of it. Working already!

Bought!!

New book day

One of the greatest songwriters in our global town.

When Lauer was asked by Hazel Mae about his busted lip, the story he cooked up with a big grin was: "There's this known thing to not mess with Scherzer on his start days, especially when he has his headphones in. I broke that rule. I tried to talk to him a little too early."

For this to work it needs to address the reasons children aren't reading: endless cuts to both public and school libraries; the cost of living crisis that leaves parents with no time to read to their children. It also must not shame any kind of reading, whatever medium, genre or delivery device.

Absolute certainty that there will be 330 pints sold...

Yay! Some great news. Billionaires are getting bigger boats. I think in these times this is the bounce we all need! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

"Misunderstanding" doing more heavy lifting than Geoff Capes at his pomp. Caught.

This is one the finest songs out of Glasgow in a long time. And the album is legit awesome too.

To mark six months (roughly) since I had the possibly questionable, & undoubtedly impulsive, idea to start a DIY podcast, I’ve finally managed to build a vaguely functioning website for #AKickUpTheArts & I’d love you to listen / sign up for the newsletter… 🧡 akickupthearts.org

Yes! Vladdy! #plataka

Proud to say we’re collabing with Safe Gigs For Women on our upcoming tour which starts next week. As a “man band” we feel it’s important to promote positive and non threatening behaviours at gigs. Thank you to Alex and the team for making this work.

One for the @thewalkoffpodcast.bsky.social mailbag… Will the Jays have more wins than homers come end of the season
