In baseball news…

Montreal made it two mayors in a row without a major corruption scandal. Hey, all streaks have to come to an end!

I hope Mel Brooks is surrounded by love right now. My heart is so sick for him too.

I know Kevin O’Leary and Tyler the Creator are getting all the attention, but I’m proud of my performance in Marty Supreme as “Doctor Ping Pong.” I haven’t seen the film yet, but am assured my scene’s still in there. No spoilers but I kick his ass. #OscarCampaign #DoctorPingPong

I'm back @99percentinvisible.bsky.social talking about the Pulitzer and design for kids in an episode devoted to Sesame Street 99percentinvisible.org/episode/649-...

I can't wait for the scene where Moses (Matthew Rhys), disillusioned by the failure of progressive civil service reform, looks directly into the camera and says, "I'm going to become the power broker."

I never do this, but I really want to be involved. @elliottkalan.bsky.social should write on it. I'll laugh and unroll maps. deadline.com/2025/12/matt...

I’ve posted a rough draft of my “Favourite Movies of 2025” on Letterboxd. Anyway, go follow me on Letterboxd. I’m a lot more interesting over there. boxd.it/zpgpC

My American friends and colleagues: Thanksgiving is a precious time to be with family and appreciate what’s truly important in life. Me: Yes…I’m also doing that

Hear me out…the Blue Jays closer next year should be Chris Bassitt

Nobody had his range. He was in “Barb Wire” with Pamela Anderson and “Breaking the Waves” *in the same year.*

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

Episode 4 of Hidden Levels from @99pi.org and @wbur.org is now online from Andrew Callaway. It's about "machinima," movies made *inside* video games. It's a podcast, but also...there's a FULLY ANIMATED version, drawing from dozens of games. This really special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tsr...

Someone please find the Pope’s burner on Letterboxd www.indiewire.com/news/general...

The movies are back, baby

lol why put it this way

As someone who has hung in with the Blue Jays for more than three decades since the last World Series (god I lived through the *black uniform era*), this was easily the most loveable, surprising, gutsy team we’ve ever had. A true delight to watch them play.

Not to pick on this particular person but this was absolutely not a choke job and hadn't been the entire series. The Jays aren't the Leafs. The Dodgers were expected to walk away with the series, we made them work for every single hit. This is simply the outcome of a very close game and series

And someone named Will Smith won an Oscar in there somewhere

Welp…on the plus side the Jays have 14 more years with Vladimir Guerrero to get it right

Don't forget to turn your clocks back in the middle of the 16th.

This game is making me into the joker

I kinda can’t believe what I’m watching

Rojas?

I think my soul has left my body and I am floating through the bardo after that double play

Hitting the pitcher who was just warned about hitting a batter

I like when they cover their mouths to whisper with each other, like they’re talking about boys that they like

Huh…Dave Stieb wasn’t available?

It's been 17 years since my brother and I went as "the films of Robin Williams" for Halloween. Obviously, we were Patch Adams and The Bicentennial Man.

Being Pope means just receiving baseball jerseys all day long of teams he hates

A lot of new baseball fans were truly baffled by that last inning. Stuck ball/crazy outfield double play. It’s a wacky game sometimes!

Look. Nothing easy! Game 7 babyyyyyyy m.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ70...

Re the Blue Jays - look, 25 year olds make bad decisions some time

Yoshi’s out, it’s apple time

Tonight’s the night

As we approach the spookiest day of the year - may I suggest @99pi.org’s episode about Spirit Halloween! Who came up with it? How do they find real estate every year? And why did I feel an aching sadness when I went into one last fall? All that and more: 99percentinvisible.org/episode/600-...

The intentional balk - the most exciting play in sports.

A true delight to mess up this guy’s evening

Excited to watch a baseball game tonight where both teams are chugging monster energy drink on the field just to stay upright.

What a game. And best of all, Shohei hit all of his parlays.

Losing it at the organist playing “the never ending story” theme.

As a Blue Jays fan, this feels like the cruelest monkey’s paw wish.

The organ player’s hands just burst into flames

If anyone’s gonna break up this interminable gridlock, it’s Tyler Heineman and Myles Straw.

2025 postseason:
