With #Brewers losing today, #Bluejays now have the best record in all of Major League Baseball at 62-42. Wild.

I'm willing to die on this hill: a lot of the ignorant and antiquated policies we see from the right are not a product of right-wing thought proper, but instead find their source in an anti-academic, anti-intellectual, reactionary popilism.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Blue Jays great, Jim Clancy.

Clancy spent 12 of his 15 Major League seasons with Toronto - including an All-Star appearance in 1982 - and ranks second in franchise history in starts, innings pitched, and complete games.

His impact on our organization

Very, very sorry to hear of the passing of Jim Clancy.

An original #Bluejays, he was with the team for the first 13 years of the franchise and his name is all over #Jays all-time leaderboards.

Always in the shadow of Dave Stieb & later Jimmy Key, he was a steady, reliable horse of a starter.

The Revenge of Dalton Kincaid He dropped the crucial fourth and 5 with a Super Bowl ticket on the line. It was painful. But then? The Buffalo Bills tight end wiped those tears away. "That's the moment you want," he tells Go Long.

At his lowest of lows, Dalton Kincaid needed these words from one vet in the grim Arrowhead locker room. It was not warm 'n fuzzy. β€œFucking own it!" the player said.

Now? The #Bills tight end is out for revenge.

The spa will fail, they *know* it’ll fail and they’ll say β€œoh dear, I guess we have to make it a casino now.”

Like the baseball stadium built with $300 million of Toronto taxes and then sold to Rogers for 1/12 of that, this is just theft from the public πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

I sincerely hope the #NDP, #LPC and #GPC all stand aside in #BattleRiverCrowfoot in favour of strong, independent, community candidate @bonniecritchley.bsky.social. You might be surprised at what can happen in a head-to-head race like this. #cdnpoli

For many seasons, I’ve gone to 2 or 3 #Bills home games and at least 1 road game. I’ve seen them play all over US & have spent plenty of $$$ doing it. But I won’t attend any more games there until he & his minions are gone. I hope the Bills get an international game or two before then. #GoBills

In case you've forgotten, this is what pure #goodness looks like. Soccer star Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre, were killed in a car wreck July 3. Liverpool FC announced it will pay the two remaining years of Diogo Jota’s contract in the amount of Β£14.5β€―million to his wife and their three children.

This year especially, HAPPY CANADA DAY!

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Yes, we’re not a perfect country. But I’ll always be grateful my parents chose to move here in 1979. This is, without a doubt, the best country in the world! Happy 158th, #Canada. And here’s to many, many happy returns πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

The White House on Carney:
"It’s very simple, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada caved to President Trump."
MAGA is not interested in negotiating trade they are into ritual humiliation.
We gave up our right to establish domestic tax policy on tech oligarchs.
Trump is now going after dairy.

Canadians are not shareholders. They are citizens.
Canada is a nation not a corporation.
Carney is not CEO.
He was elected as Prime Minister of the Canadian people.
The rights of citizenship and the obligations of political leadership should never be degraded to mere capitalist exchange.

Where’s the connection, asks the friend Amici? Let’s see: Yet, again, Trump treats friends as foes and foes as friends. Do you see a pattern emerging? Cheers.

On the same day our weak PM kissed Trump’s ass on the digital tax, the US has eased banking sanctions on Russia. If you weren’t pissed off already, consider this the cherry on top. #CarneyCaved #cdnpoli
