It bothers me how much money the #bluejays relief pitchers make to absolutely suck at their jobs.

This baseball game is boring. But apparently the Leafs game is worse πŸ˜•

I don't know that much about baseball, but it seems the Yankees are not very good at it.

When I joined bluesky I followed a load of curated lists...is there a way to unfollow these lists? I can't see any lists in the tab on the left.

Ford government says it will ban speed cameras across Ontario | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the traffic enforcement tool a "cash grab" at a news conference in Vaughan Thursday. He said his government will introduce new legislation to ban speed cameras.

Yeah it’s called speeding.

β€œFord and Del DucaΒ both claimed they'd heard of drivers getting fined multiple times for going only a few kilometres per hour over the speed limit throughΒ camera zones.” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-premier-announcement-speed-cams-live-1.7643182

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Fact for the day: paracetamol does not cause autism

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

Sure, I get that. I would be curious though whether this is a new precedent they are setting, or whether similar posts also went out in relation to other political violence. There's been plenty of it in the US as of late.

Why is the prime minister of Canada putting out a tweet about the death of an American far-right influencer? I'd venture a guess that the majority of Canadians have zero idea who he was. A weird decision by Carney's team.

In other news, every single time I watch a close #BlueJays game, that Hoffman guy comes on and loses them the game. Every time. Is he actually good and I just miss those games???

I got the Tate guy and the Kirk guy mixed up and I've never felt more grateful for barely knowing who the Kirk guy was.
