Not actually that bad ... but it's all relative.

Why this World Series loss hurts Blue Jays fans so much <p>It&#8217;s been a few days since the Blue Jays suffered a devastating loss in Game 7 of the World Series, and many fans are still trying to process and accept what took place on the weekend. I know...

Another good article from @thejaysnation.bsky.social, with explanations as to why this one just hits so damn hard.

Toronto Will Never Get Over This | Defector Baseball makes you feel bad. I don’t mean that in a literate sense ripping off Bart Giamatti’s lede, the sense of dreading a sullen winter spent longing for the sensory pleasures of the game. I mean t...

As a lifelong fan of #Toronto, #baseball and #sports in general, I've never seen nor experienced anything as tragic & crushing than what happened to the #BlueJays in the #WorldSeries.

This article by @barryp.bsky.social describes how I feel right now, and will likely be feeling for quite some time.

Lets check the scorecard and see how the President of Peace is doing?

- Didn't end the war in Ukraine in 1 day (must've meant months)
- Took a year only to get a failed ceasefire in Gaza
- Bombs "drug" boats w/ no proof, evidence, or due process
- and, Resumes testing of nuclear weapons 😨😱

I totally get what you are saying, but I'm hoping you reconsider @mechilders99.bsky.social and will still root for the #BlueJays.

Perhaps this will make it a little bit easier to root for #Toronto in the World Series. We need all the support we can get.

Go Jays!

The Righteous Mind - Wikipedia

I've been desperate to understand why people support actions that seem morally WRONG.

Cue #TheRighteousMind by Jonathan Haidt.

While I didn't get the "Oh, I see why now and that's OK" moment I needed, I still recommend this very informative #book.

"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength."

Its quite sad that that dystopian novel 1984 becomes more prophetic with each passing day.

Now more than ever, we need #Orwell to remind us of totalitarian dangers, which is why I was pleased to hear about this documentary released today.

The blatant #hypocrisy just never ends.

There would be full blown outrage if this was Obama or Biden.

Yet they get away with it because their base falls into 1 of 2 categories:

A. They don't understand.
B. They don't care.

The history books won't be so forgiving .. assuming democracy survives.

"Greatest con job": Trump pushes climate change denial at UNGA "I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail," Trump said..

An embarrassment to the country, and a danger to the planet.

Such a shame ...

I thought they were so against cancel culture and preserving free speech?

Oh, I see now.

It only applies when it favors them.

So they use this act of violence as justification for more control, and censorship of those who don't drink the kool-aid.

It's sad, it's scary, and it's not American.

On 9/16/25, celebrate a date of mathematical beauty Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.

Hope my fellow math nerds have a wonderful Pythagorean Triple Square Day ... especially since its probably the only time you'll be able to celebrate it!

I recently spotted a funny post in my Discover feed.

So when I went to the profile and found post after post provide humorous (and very accurate) descriptions of me, I knew I had to follow.

Keep up the good fight @introvertproblems.bsky.social, and I hope you don't mind me sharing this one myself.

I literally felt EXACTLY this.

Recently, I was not invited to a recurring lunch meetup with friends and co-workers.

Now this might have had to do with the fact that I always declined every previous invitation to join them.

Still ... it would have been nice if they asked.

The struggle is real.

Love #Superman

Been a fan since I saw the Donner films as a kid

I even enjoyed the uneven Superman Returns & Man of Steel, but overall I felt burned by the Snyderverse

But I have hope again

@jamesgunn.bsky.social seems to be checking all the right boxes, and I cannot wait for this one

When I'm too bruised to fight
And even when I'm wrong I tend to think I'm right

Well I'm bored of the game
And too tired to rage 🎡
