lol yes okay point taken

not sure what it says that I'm in a spiritual Long February of my own creation, halfway into March

Like what do you mean Yankees fans and Lakers fans are both having existential crises on a Tuesday night in February and literally neither has anything to do with a Yankees game or Lakers game? Yeah man I'll take a shot of that.

Usually after the Olympics there's a bit of a sports hangover where you overdid it and you don't want to watch anymore sports for a few weeks.

I cannot stress enough how much I'm just going hair-of-the-dog, pushing through the hangover and allowing myself to be drunk as hell off of sports again.

the FS1 commentators are so mad, the fans chanting USA are mad, what a night for baseball, what a night for Bluesky: The Sports App

ITALY WINS

BASEBALL POWERHOUSES THE MIGHTY ITALIAN AZZURRI HAVE DEFEATED THE FRAUD MICKEY-MOUSE MINOR BASEBALLING NATION KNOWN AS "THE UNITED STATES"

I was dead serious 2 hours ago and I'm still dead serious I am ready to change my plans for this year over this preliminary-round international baseball game

Simpsons Frank Grimes meme But it was a contest for real baseball nations! Yeah, and Italy beat your brains out!

watching FS1 stream and I forgot how fucking embarrassing American ads are, I got an ad for Ram trucks that was just Guns N Roses set to unironic footage of fireworks and bald eagles and the moon landing like "BUY A TRUCK BECAUSE AMERICA REFUSES TO LOSE" (note: current broadcast is America Losing)

Clayton Kershaw, noted homophobe, warms up for USA

PUT HIM IN FOR THE 9TH AND LET HIM GIVE UP THE MERCY RUN this is already the funniest thing I can imagine I want it to be so funny it's beyond levels of my imagination

don't tell me this tournament doesn't mean anything!! A group of guys from New Jersey with Italian nonas are the only thing standing between me and having a mental breakdown at the site of Ernie Clement yukking it up with Donald Trump at the White House!!

don't elect a Baseball Pope if you're not ready for what it means to have a Baseball Pope!!

FORZA AZZURRI graphic with the Pope, Team Italy and Pizza

Italy fan taunting England with It's Coming To Come flag

FORZA AZZURRI...?

oh I am referring both to Canada winning and Italy winning but if neither of these hold true I'm referring to nothing and I said nothing

Italy, my paisanos, if you do this, I'm booking a trip to Italy this year I'm not lying and you can hold me to this

don't wanna officially say anything too loudly, and will delete this and never acknowledge it if it turns the other way,

but uhhHHH some INCREDIBLE BASEBALL THINGS may be happening??

Earlier I implied that I escorted yo' momma through the Strait of Hormuz. I apologize for the misinformation. Yo' momma's too fat for such a narrow passageway and whatnot.

no one wants to drive to Pearson from downtown because the Gardiner/Lakeshore is so slow. The solution is to have 200 passengers come off a Boeing 757 out of a single bridge that spits them out onto the foot of Bathurst to call an Uber to come to them on the Gardiner

Most of all I'm sick of fucking Pierre Poilievre and Doug Ford having the feds and the province throwing their weight around on an issue that should be a 100% city decision by city people about city land

So basically... beat Cuba and advance?

this was very funny and classic Ray. I love that he spends 90% of the article on setup and then the actual payoff is just "it's $12 wine who cares"

I'm not sure you can just say "it's not a workable solution" because you personally had one bad experience, when hundreds if not thousands of families use it successfully every day to get to and from the airport!

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

A poster for HBO's Succession that I have skillfully edited with gopher heads on all the characters. I tried my best to Google groundhog faces that match the respective characters.

Since the British monarchy abolished male primogeniture laws in 2015, assuming this extends down to Canada, could we have maybe our first female Wiarton Willie, a Wiarton Wilma? It's 2026, dammit! We deserve a WOMAN magic weather rodent

CTV NEWS: The town said it will begin the search for a new weather prognosticator in the coming days to continue the legacy Willie helped build.

You can't just say that the search is underway for a new Wiarton Willie and then give me no details on how we elect a new Wiarton Willie.

As a constitutional monarchy, is there a line of succession? Or is there a democratic groundhog election? Do we hold a conclave?

Ironic that Don Cherry railed against global warming when he's got like a year or two tops before his surroundings get extremely hot for a long long time

We'll always have the memory of the time the weather rat saw its shadow which prompted a sensibly-attired Don Cherry to question the "left-wing pinko" science of global warming on our national broadcaster

damn, RIP to the weather rat who was demonstrably worse than a coin flip, may his memory be a blessing
