The #BlueJays are off to the ALCS

It had to be done. Perhaps the biggest undertaking in my nearly six years of publishing the internet's best hip-hop newsletter, CABBAGES. Check it out, weigh in, and share like hell. www.cabbageshiphop.com/100-best-rap...

😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 Good day to be a #BlueJays fan

Home run, Ernie Clement. The crowd was already on fire after Aaron Judge botched a play in the right-field corner. The dome is even louder than it was yesterday. #BlueJays up, 2-0.

😤😤😤😤

The Toronto Blue Jays are AL East champions. For the first time since 2015, the division belongs to Toronto. You never know where a season will take you.

It's Alejandro Kirk Day. 8-4 #Bluejays bot5.

Believe

Chonky should be word of the decade

*Ice Cube voice* today was a good day #BlueJays

Alejandro Kirk walks it off with a sac fly to deep centre. #Bluejays win 5-4 and can take the season series with #Orioles with a win tomorrow. #ThatWasFun

Here are just some of the 200 (!) books set to be banned by Edmonton's Public Schools Board following a directive from the Government of Alberta. These are all books we have carried or currently carry on our shelves. No more banning books. 📚🚫

You know, you can write a blog without supporting a company heavily invested in fascists, ask me how I know www.vox.com/culture/4212...

It’s been one year since my book “Gritty City: An Oral History of Winnipeg Hip-Hop Music 1980-2005” came out! To celebrate I’m running a limited time sale on my website only, including books for only $20 and shirts for only $10 🤯 Don’t miss this!! www.grittycitywpg.com/shop

People sometimes ask me why I don’t use Substack. This is why. Not only do they let literal Nazis publish on their platform, they actually promoted through notifications.

Don’t get a substack

PUMP IT INTO MY VEINS #BlueJays

Frame it in the f’ing Louvre #BlueJays

on this day, 1997, my first album dropped.

London is getting ready for Trump’s visit

Very cool that @keeganmatheson.bsky.social was on my local campus radio station talking about his book on the Blue Jays history - I was interviewed on the same show last year when my book came out! Shout out fellow baseball nerd Michael Elves for getting Keegan on his show! umfm.com/programming/...

One of the best nonfiction writers of our time

Really roundabout way to say he’s definitely on the Epstein list.

“Buy local,” without paying for local: Manitoba government asked Manitoba artists to provide free work and labour - for a goodie bag for visiting finance officials from other provinces. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Air quality warning in Winnipeg? Perfect time to stay inside and get some reading done. Just started this one #booksky #TheIrishman

Just finished reading “When the Sea Came Alive” by @vermontgmg.bsky.social such an important and meaningful book. It was really great to see some references to the Winnipeg Rifles in there. He’s not in the book but a friend of my family was Major Lockhart “Lockie” Fulton, D Company, 1st Battalion 1/

My new book — an oral history of the Manhattan Project and the atomic bombings — comes out one month from today. More info (and information on preordering!) here: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/coming-in-...

#BlueJays win, 8-4. They’ve won 9 games in a row for the first time since 2015. They’re 53-38 with a 3 1/2 game lead in the AL East.

Good week for baseball

In anticipation of the new @vermontgmg.bsky.social book coming out this summer I went and picked up “When the Sea Came Alive” from my local library, excited to dive in. Last year three Graff books, Watergate, Raven Rock, UFO, and thoroughly enjoyed them all

#BojackHorseman is still my favourite youtu.be/_k8_osyJLKk?...

Been busy running around so I forgot to share but I finished this book yesterday, fittingly while staying about 5 mins from Roger’s Centre. Well done @keeganmatheson.bsky.social you really captured the spirit of the franchise through all the various eras. Must have for any Jays fan! #BlueJays
