Yes, Canadian pacific did a very very creative job. Taking inspiration for actual vehicle painting practices of each branch and applying them to locomotives was a cool move.

Much better than FLAG WRAP+CAMO dogshit we see too often. Have at least *one* ounce of creativity.

Sunday a.m. after the gut wrenching loss by our #BlueJays in G 7 of the #WorldSeries. It was a shocker. Despite the sadness of the team & millions of fans, Iโ€™m grateful to this extraordinary band of brothers who gave us an exciting & uplifting season baseball. They were champions & we love ๐Ÿ’™ them.

It's gutting.

But in the cold light of morning, what matters is that it was the best Toronto sports story in years. Probably a better story, even, than the Raptors winning in 2019.

And we got to experience it fully.

But man, two outs away.

Ukraine rescues camel used by Russian military Moscow uses camels, horses and donkeys on front line to address stalled advance

Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

Ukrainian troops rescued a camel used by the Russian military near Russian positions in the Kharkiv region.

Russia adopts low-tech solutions as the war decreases Russiaโ€™s hi-tech equipment and highly skilled manpower.

And of course here is our nightly drone attack, sounds of air defence at work, and explosions. So tired of this constant terror. Literally all we ever wanted is to live like human beings. And itโ€™s still too much to ask for.

I swore I would never get a player's name on the back of a jersey because jerseys are expensive and I do not trust men in sports, but I will get my favourite one on a t-shirt ๐Ÿ’™ #BlueJays

At the point in the Jays game where Iโ€™m just letting the kids swear when theyโ€™re excited with no consequences. Because that was an EXPLETIVE DELETED inning.

day 2:

dodger stadium's 16,000-spot parking lot is so huge, it could fit ~10 more dodger stadiums in its place. a monument to socal's asphalt addiction more than to baseball.

meanwhile in toronto, an actual walkable, bustling city exists around the stadium

Luckily, our campus does autumn very well.

Canadaโ€™s boycott America movement is hurting innocent bystanders | CNN Business Virginia Distillery CEO Gareth Moore was bullish on his companyโ€™s American single malt whisky sales north of the border when 2025 kicked off.

The US trade war & annexationist push against Canada. H/t @sueinnovates.bsky.social. Apparently, Americans are the victims. Missing, except for a vague comment: 10 months in, there is zero acknowledgement of political agency or the possibility of change on the US side.
