Go Jays!

I can't speak to the premise of the OP, though, as I did have a rooting interest - the Tigers. Skubal can only beat the Jays once or twice over the course of a series, and I wasn't worried about the Tigers' batters. Raleigh/Suarez/Naylor can beat them four times.

Yup. I just shared a video showing Parks officers who have been dragooned into patrolling DC, demanding ID from a couple of men who are just sitting out on their steps having a drink and then lecturing them. (No bonus points for guessing the race of the officer and his targets.)

He's not kicking anything with those toothpick legs. He'd lift one leg and a gentle breeze would blow him over.

My grandmother neglected to tell me about this after she visited Iceland back in the 80s. (I mean, she told me all about the prostitutes in Amsterdam, so why not this?)

I may have a new life goal.

As the Canadian ex-bf of a man who lived in Atlanta during our relationship, who furthermore finds the "my gf/bf lives in Canada" trope extremely annoying, I have to admit that this was funny.

Those circular mints sound familiar... did they have a chocolatey flavour?

I think Bulk Barn carries Scotch mints. At least, the last time I remember seeing them, that's where they were.

The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that trans women are women, trans men are men, and nonbinary people are valid.

I can hardly wait for Fox News to learn that Superman has a bisexual son in the most recent comics & TV series. Then the kryptonite will *really* hit the fan.

One day after claiming he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, President Donald Trump joined the war in the Middle East by dropping the biggest non-nuclear bombs in the U.S. arsenal.

Definitely "Spaceballs" for me. The essential Mel Brooks movie is "Blazing Saddles", with "Young Frankenstein" a close second.

Though in today's political climate, I would recommend that people watch "To Be Or Not To Be". It's less well known, but I can't think of a more *important* Brooks film.

I just said, "Oh, excuse me, Mr. Harrison. By the way, I really enjoy your work."

A few months later I also ran into Robert Gant (who played Ben on QAF) in the same area. He was on his way into a condo building with a bag of groceries, so I assume that's where he lived while he was here.

I was working for a financial company at Bloor and Church, and went for lunch at a Druxy's deli in Cumberland Terrace. After finishing my meal, I walked out into the mall and ran smack into Randy Harrison, who at the time was playing Justin on Queer As Folk.

I wonder if PP made up any clever little three-word slogans for the King's speech today.

Unfortunately, the Youtube preview kind of ruins the joke, so I've removed it.

I honestly think that the people who hate him do so because he still has all his teeth. To them, that means he's not a "real" hockey player.

All I've had published are a few pieces in the Outside In books totalling about 15-20 pages. I've sweated blood over every word. And "authors" are making money off generating AI sludge and not even bothering to proofread it?

If you didn't write it, I have no interest in reading it.

I would love to read it, but whoever distributes your magazine (as well as Analog) in Toronto appears to be falling down on the job. None of the stores where I usually buy it have received their copies.

Oh, I know - but I'm of the belief that if there's a hierarchy of freedoms, freedom of religion ought to be near the bottom. I prefer reality-based policies, myself.

How tf are people supposed to apply for jobs, if Internet access is deemed an "extravagance"? I don't think Internet cafรฉs are still a thing (there used to be an Internet cafรฉ near here, but it closed a decade ago), and I'm sure small towns didn't have them, anyway. Libraries aren't 24h operations.
