Hey Blue Jays-sky, Dylan Cease has collaborated on two discs for the Toronto Open Disc Golf tournament, if that’s your thing: www.instagram.com/p/DUlyk4HkYp...

My favourite quotes: “We do appreciate the need for housing and all that, but it doesn't have to be this extreme."
“the lack of parking ‘outweighs the benefits of creating new affordable housing.’"
Colleague @poppedculture.bsky.social came into the office today ranting about this which I hadn't even seen yet but: "the rule of law for land use in Canada" remains an absolutely revolutionary political objective that nobody is interested in. www.thestar.com/news/gta/six...

Jesús Sánchez tells us that he’s known Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for a long time: the two arrived together this morning.
He also told us he hit a ball 508ft in AAA.
This image may be the most upset he looked the entire time. I’ve never seen a man happier to do media. #BlueJays
Asked to describe himself, Kazuma Okamoto said (via interpreter):
“I am very serious … And very manly.”
He then broke out laughing. #BlueJays
Bad Toronto movie theatre news: Cineplex Beaches, a six-screen multiplex opened in 1999 under the Alliance Atlantis brand, is closing end of day Feb. 17.
