We ordered some Christmas ornaments.

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

Jelly Bean snoozing with his jellyfish toy.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

Reading We Breed Lions by @rickwesthead.bsky.social is hard and necessary, and might even make you look at hockey a little differently. And especially in a country that rarely wants to hear bad news about hockey, it should be a reminder that we need to do better. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...

Watching Barney Miller together.

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Together again

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

I’m taking a five-week class learning the basics of felting. Today, we learned a bit of both wet felting and needle felting.

We lost Beckett last week & by Sunday we realized we need a dog. I need someone furry and cute to smother with love (besides Ray). Everyone meet Jelly Bean. We created a list of things we’d like in our next dog: young, healthy and female. So of course we ended up with a middle aged, arthritic boy.

Baseball, like everything else in the US, would be way more boring without any foreign-born people.

It is very fun to have a functional social media site for live things again

Oh well, Jays. It was an exciting season.

I think this is the truest baseball tweet for me

For fuck’s sake. I should just go to bed.

Fffuuuucccckkkkk

if this is your introduction to baseball you may never see it this good again but you’ll happily chase that high for the rest of your life

How Canada is doing

Fuck

Players with 30+ hits in a single MLB playoff run: Ernie Clement That's it.

Givin’g ‘em the ol’ razzle dazzle.

Trey Yesavage, who famously was pitching to his fellow third graders at recess in Miss Reynolds's class just five months ago, is entering to pitch in Game 7 of the World Series

Clement sliding with flair!

I’m stress knitting a scarf while the game is on.

That’s two terrific catches.

Way to go, Bo!

John Schneider on Max Scherzer ahead of Game 7: “I was walking to get some food a while after the game [last night]. He was walking past me and it looked like he wanted to kill somebody already.” #BlueJays

Baseball is so great you guys. It's also terrible and mean and no one should love it because it will snap your heart in half. But it's so great.

TheJays really like to fuck up standing on base.

Marie-Philippe Poulin is great inspiration. She scored the game winning goal in three separate Olympic gold medal games.

The baseball sucked, but it’s still Halloween. Time for my annual watch of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Fuck. (This is a baseball post.)

I do not understand the call. The outfielder was able to retrieve the ball. Why was it called dead?

The Jays just can’t score runs on the nights Gausman starts.

Happy Halloween

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the 2nd Quebec sovereignty referendum. I was in grade 12 & our school chartered buses to send students to the No rally in Montreal that week. It was the 1st political rally I’d ever attended, and it was exhilarating. I’m still glad the No side eked out a win.

it should be illegal to move your cat off-camera during a Zoom meeting

I got a Cookie Monster cookie.

Only 4 pitchers have recorded a Pitcher’s Cycle — striking out every batter in the opposing lineup — in the World Series: Trey Yesavage, 2025 G5 Randy Johnson, 2001 G2 Bob Gibson, 1968 G1 Jesse Barnes, 1921 G6

Just a 22-year-old who started the season in low-A ball mowing down the most expensive offence money can buy in the World Series

Phew

Well, boo.

“OH NO! NO WAY! OH MY GOD! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!” Davis Schneider’s dad posted a video of the leadoff home run from his point of view

Holy shit! Second pitch is a home run by Vladdy!
