It's the top of the sixth and the only scoring came on the first pitch the Blue Jays saw.

That was quite a game, but my goodness, those Fox announcers are insufferable. Long on opinions, short knowledge and history. Every pitch apparently screamworthy. Thank heavens for Dan and Buck. #bluejays #baseball

MIT's response to the Trump admin's proposed "compact" is excellent and should be a model for other universities. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

No. A hateful, disgusting, lying, serial rapist authoritarian should never have their name thought about. Even by his delusional followers. Give your head a shake.

There was, at most, a 20-year period when bicycles were in widespread use and cars were not.

People walked, rode horses and donkeys, and rode in wheeled carts propelled by draft animals.

Your claim that biking is better in the winter is risible. Why do so few people in snowy locations do it? 1/2

Israel intercepts Gaza aid flotilla, detains Thunberg and other activists Organizers said 20 boats have been intercepted and at least 200 passengers detained as the convoy presses toward Gaza to try to break the Israeli blockade.

Wapo account of Israel's interdiction of the Gaza flotilla fails to mention that the seizure took place in international waters. A telling omission.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and β€œthe enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

This is the worst president in history. Therefore Democratic leaders are bad. That's the essence of your ridiculous logic. You'd much rather shoot your own than fight the president.

Trump’s ICE agents tried to kidnap a food delivery worker in Chicago - but the guy was too fast for them.

Ah! The truth emerges! You don't give a rat's ass about pedestrians. You just want the world to bow and scrape to anyone on a bicycle.

Part of the problem is that this CBC story is incomprehensible. I'm not sure the writer understands what she's writing about.

Car haters on Halifax Council dream up new ways to punish Nova Scotians for choosing the mode of travel that most Nova Scotians choose, usually by necessity.

It's unconscionable that MLB requiref loyal fans who have followed the Blue Jays all year to buy an Apple TV+ subscription to watch a crucial game three days from the end of the season.

FDA’s Arbitrary Restrictions on Vaccines Are Right Out of Anti-Abortion Playbook Anti-vaxxers are copying a core anti-abortion strategy: if you can’t make it illegal, make it inaccessible instead.

If you search the @theAtlantic.com for the word "transgender," as I just did, hundreds of results appear, all seemingly supportive trans rights. Hard to square that with the dependant clause that opens your skeet. Perhaps you should focus on the actual fascists currently ascendent in the US.

Trump's mother took. Acetaminophen during pregnancy. That's why he's never been able to pronounce words with six syllables.

Also:

Every car in the world will not disappear because people prefer cars. For obvious reasons. Ask anyone driving a car if they would prefer to have a bike. Ask anyone driving a bike if they would prefer to have a car.

You are positing a world that does not exist.

What an absurd take. You left out:

Virtually no one would be able to go anywhere in winter.

No one with disabilities would be able to go anywhere.

This is ableist nonsense.
