my timeline:

"It's a mess right now for the Americans" is applicable for this baseball game and literally everything else happening in America at the moment.

I want Canada to do well but does that also doom us to 20 more years of Whittball?

Was JUST thinking the same thing lol

Ok this is fucking Gold. I have a genuine JPII rosary somewhere in this house, I feel like now might be the time to find it.

SO MUCH THIS

It's been discussed more in the context of the Manosphere, but: A consequence of being fully submerged in the Trump-era for over a decade is that an entire generation of reactionary-minded men (mostly) have come of age in a social landscape where shamelessness & cruelty are aspirational traits.

Toronto’s waterfront might suck but I don’t think that adding jets to the fucking mix is gonna solve that

Has there even been a politician where it’s more obvious that he’s parroting the scheme of the last lobbyist he talked to? Every week it’s a different random scheme like Toronto is some in-app purchase iPhone game whose weekly pass event he’s trying to complete.

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?

Back to this again.

The Canadian politicians and right wing media types who flirt with this bullshit have to be the biggest fucking marks in the history of fucking marks.

If I carried around a card in my wallet that certifies I spend 200 bucks a month on cinnamon dolce lattes and microwaved egg bites I wouldn't go around being like "look what Achievement I have Achieved"

Yesterday Ford called TO island residents "squatters", making a group of people half chub in delight, but what of the 100s of 1000s of Torontonians who use the island, who don't have cottages. What would Ford do if an airport was planned on his cottage lake? What would the median ontario voter do?

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

The public health field has bent over backwards to assuage the ‘concerns’ of anti-vaxxers for almost 3 decades now. It’s not working.

The way forward is stigmatizing these child-killing freaks and mandating that every kid gets a jab. Expand access, sure but that’s not going to move the needle.

Does the REST OF ONTARIO not get sick of this guy's obsession with being the Mayor of Toronto? Or does the Toronto hate run so deep that it makes them happy to see the bullshit he's imposing, even though it's money that should be going to THEIR health care and education too??

Suárez, along with other players and team officials, say any concern they have is more directed toward the younger, lesser recognized minor leaguers. They're often less equipped to communicate in English – and don’t travel with the same high-profile, privileged means that big-leaguers do. “They’re scared,” Suárez said.

this is something I continuously ask MLB, the MLBPA, and teams about fwiw. I have not heard of any issues being raised on the MiLB side but I am only one person and there are 120 teams. (if you've heard anything, though — signal and email are in bio)

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Saluting? Wtf is this?? Nobody is as in love with being a soldier as the men who will NEVER BE ONE.

cars are nice in some ways, but we should be so much madder about this

cars are expensive to buy, insure, maintain, and fuel

cars are not accessible to all people, and many lose the ability to drive with age, injury, or illness

cars are massive polluters via emissions and tire/brake particulate

a car is not a symbol of freedom; it's a symbol of your government's dereliction of duty to provide basic infrastructure that produces a social good (which most comparable countries have in spades) bc it's not really a government, but rather the functional sockpuppet of a greedy, reckless industry

Omg the question and the laugh afterwards ❤️

Who ARE these fucking people cos-playing at this? It's like he opens his mouth and nothing but cliche statements from the worst action movie you've ever seen come out.

Be the cousin of his high school teacher who went to his wedding 🤗

‘Mr. Tory put his private interests first’: Former mayor broke ethics rules with relationship, watchdog finds The city’s integrity commissioner released a 122-page report on former mayor John Tory’s improper relationship on Thursday.

www.thestar.com/news/gta/mr-...

1010 & TVO framed Tory misconduct as an affair. FTR he had a secret romance with a junior staffer who reported to him. He helped get her a job at Rogers-owned MLSE in a role dealing with him & his office on issues involving public funds. He then voted at city council on an issue she handled at MLSE

John Tory was a terrible Mayor who, despite doing generational damage to the city, would have easily won another term even after he’d been caught dallying with his staff. He wasn’t “me too’d” out of a job, HE QUIT. He’s a victim of NOTHING. Toronto is the victim.

So much this. What the actual fuck are the @ontariondp.bsky.social and @maritstilesndp.bsky.social doing?

World leaders need to look to Spain right now. I am so exhausted hearing about polite, calm diplomacy in the face of two countries starting illegal wars, lying about it, murdering children, and committing genocide in plain sight. It's shameful. I can't stop thinking about the Iranian girls' school.

Trump going on camera talking about how he'd rate his war from 1-10, asking how we're liking the "performance" like this a fucking Broadway show. These monsters only respect strength and money. They don't give a shit about diplomacy. I feel like I'm going insane.
