What does the rest of the year look like for Loperfido now?

Do you expect the front office to go after players under team control beyond this season? I'm still have flashbacks to Ross Atkins boasting about years of control at a deadline...

Coming into the season I thought Wagner would contribute more than others from that young group. Does he still have a path to meaningful playing time this year?

What impact does Addison Barger's performance have on the path for Orelvis Martinez? Is he becoming more of a tradable asset now?

This is one of the browns-iest browns moves I've seen in a while... Great entertainment value for us non-browns fans though

Not sure if Shapiro would agree... But that seems like generational talent kinda money to me!

I'll cast a vote for Francis, Popkins, and the Meat Truck. Bassitt/Gausman feels like a good opening day pairing!

A basic income can be a strong investment in mental health Improving mental health through a basic income is a wise investment, one that will prevent the needless suffering of generations to come.

"Reducing poverty translates into significant savings for the economy and the public purse. Canada could save $4 to $10 for every dollar spent on mental health supports."

Remember, a basic income floor can slash poverty 40% at just 5% of what poverty costs.

Feeling stuck? Your mind might be telling you: "Wait until you feel ready." The ACT approach? "Take action now, even with doubt, and readiness will follow." #ACT #GetUnstuck #mentalhealth #ontario #canada #therapy

Often in therapy I see clients who don't know how to react when they are simply seen, heard, and respected. They aren't familiar with the feeling. These things can be free, and everyone deserves all three! #mentalhealth #ontario #affordabletherapy

I expected Scherzer to want to go to a contender. Did they simply outbid others? Does he think more help is coming? Or is Atkins great at selling everyone but the fans on this current roster?

Anxiety often tells the story of β€˜what if everything goes wrong?’ - but what if we rewrite it? What if everything works out? What if you handle it better than you think?

Bridging this knowledge gap without appearing to be condescending or preachy, is a critical challenge for the left if the hope is to have meaningful discourse moving forward. Fascinating article.

With the polar vortex touching down in Ontario, I encourage folks to look at Dr. Kari Liebowitz's book and work. Her thoughts on Wintertime mindsets, lessons from around the globe, and cognitive-behavioural approach to the season is fascinating and enlightening!

I'm all for pursuing the big targets, that's what big market teams should be doing. But how many times do they have to get burned before they learn the value of a backup plan? Do they get completely blinded/preoccupied with each of these efforts?

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that β€œmasculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
