I love how he walks off the mound like a boss after each strikeout.

Texas Sues Tylenol Makers, Claiming They Hid Autism Risks

Hoo boy, here we go. β€œThe lawsuit follows claims by President Trump that linked use by pregnant women of acetaminophen to autism, a connection that is unproven.”

For sure - It wouldn’t likely be one of the three projects referred to (maybe a major renewables project is in the mix). Longer term, though, I wonder if that will come into play. We’re nearing an inflection point, even if we ramp up wind and/or solar.

That’s intriguing. At some point, I wonder if Manitoba is going to have to consider a nuclear plant to keep up (and to mitigate increasing risk to hydro power).

My man, the stated policy of your administration is that Canada should become an American state, but Canadians running an accurate ad is a threat to American sovereignty?

Happily, he just got moved! (Nothing to do with this post, to be clear. Glad the staff seem to have sorted it.)

I’m in standing room at @torontobluejays.bsky.social , behind accessible seating, where a kid/teen in a wheelchair is distraught because he can’t see anything with everyone standing up. If anyone happens to be in a box or something with extra seats, this is your chance to do a good deed.

He’s pretty intense! Brave songwriter, but the lyrics β€” he picks at scabs I’ve long ago decided I need to leave be.
