Good luck, Blue Jays fans. I enjoyed following the commentary here enough that I considered turning on the game to watch. But nah. Time for bed. I’ll check the score in the morning.

Kyle Connor penalty shot: three dekes most players would be proud of and a backhand finish into the top shelf. It's 4-0 #NHLJets.

Antifa is short for "anti-fart" and anyone who opposes Antifa is the one who both smelt it and dealt it.

Billie Eilish Calls on Billionaires to Support People in Need: 'No Hate, But Give Your Money Away' Billie Eilish donates $11.5 million from 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour to charity and calls on billionaires to support people in need during hard times.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

I got mail today for the first time in a while. I guess the strike has rotated away from here for a bit. This was my mail.

I don’t actually give a flying fart about baseball but, supposing the Blue Jays win the World Series, what if we just keep that trophy here in Canada until they sort things out south of the border?
