Love the Blue Jays.

It CAN go much louder

My costume is chubby middle-aged woman. I am invisible!

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, coke! No coke, pepsi!

Last night's Jays game was almost exactly twice as long as "Titanic" but three times as depressing.

Anyway, GO JAYS!

You have told me for the UMPTEENTH TIME.

I swear that all I see when he's up.

The image is a screengrab of the following text: "Every season lies, except for winter. Winter is the most honest season. Winter never promises you shit. No-one claims to love it. Nothing delightful ever happens in it. No good will ever come of it. I’ve no idea when winter officially takes place but I consider it to start on the first day back at work in January. It begins the precise moment there is nothing left to look forward to. It ends whenever you first feel a faint glimmer of warmth on your face from the sun - probably sometime in April, perhaps late March if you’re lucky. In winter, everything is dead. It is nighttime when you go to work and nighttime when you leave, always nighttime really because in the day there is often no weather to speak of, just the ceaseless grey of the island. There are no bank holidays, or national days of celebration, or really any kind of item to mark the calendar at all. There’s just Valentines Day - a day reserved for fools, in which they pay extortionate amounts to have dinner with their partner in public, so that they can demonstrate to all the other witless couples how thoroughly they have submerged the intimacies of their life to commerce and social expectation. There is no texture to winter. Winter is a tomb. You just grind your way through it, January through to March, around 100 days of marrow-cold misery, and hope to come out the other side."

Springsteen: Hey Mary! I wrote a song about you! It's called "Thunder Road".
Mary: OMG, how sweet!
Springteen: 🎶"You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright". 🎶
Mary:

OMG. THANK GOD. #GoJays!

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

It "appeared" to be an AI generated video of Trump flying a fighter jet dumping payloads of human shit on people

Meaning it's not impossible Trump actually was flying a fighter jet that dumped human shit on people

Spotted some really weird-ass vans this week.

Hard candy is a waste of sugar.

Dude

GO JAYS!

Everyone in Toronto is either at or watching the Blue Jays game. Off to run naked through my neighbourhood. Ah, the freedom!

Once a pre-washed salad is open, it has the half-life of a RFK Jr brain cell.

30 days hath September, April, June & November, all the rest have 31, except for February which is a POEM RUINER!

Let's take a moment and appreciate the people who call from 800 numbers, for they have to talk to people who answer calls from 800 numbers.

One good thing about getting older is that people don’t ask me when I’m due anymore.

Of course the Rapture is going to happen tomorrow - the Jays are doing too well.

Same!

I worked in the London bureau of a Cdn broadcaster in the mid-late '90s - part of my job was to shot-list the raw footage of feeds coming in from all over the world (during Chechnya, Bosnia, N. Ireland, S. Africa etc.) The stuff I saw, my god...still haunts me. Compartmentalizing is the only way.
