A women in my neighbourhood was picking up her kid from daycare and was killed by a speeding driver in front of her spouse and baby. Now we won’t get a speed camera on that street.

The US has 10 times the people, so again, when the Jays are good they’re the biggest market in baseball

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

cartoon of Jessica and Roger Rabbit in Hallowe'en costumes.

LOL. Looking through the Larchives for a few more Hallowe'en cartoons and finally counting up all the Roger and Jessica Rabbit cartoons I have scattered through my directories. Decided to split off a directory just for them. I've drawn the couple over 20 times :D

my wife: we have to wear what we died in for eternity!?

st. peter: that’s right

People will die just as democracy has. No consultation. It’s Trumpy.

A Review of Grokipedia, Using Myself as Test Subject What? You didn’t know that Grokipedia exists? Well, it does, and it’s Elon Musk’s attempt to run Wikipedia out of town on a rail: An “AI”-generated compendium of infor…

Over on Whatever, I offer some thoughts on the new "Grokipedia," through the lens of the article it has up about... me.

I'm not saying Trump is an authoritarian who would lock up reporters for investigating his party, I'me just saying his party members think that.

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.

Only 4 pitchers have recorded a Pitcher’s Cycle — striking out every batter in the opposing lineup — in the World Series:

Trey Yesavage, 2025 G5
Randy Johnson, 2001 G2
Bob Gibson, 1968 G1
Jesse Barnes, 1921 G6

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

Genuinely considering a Kirk jersey. 😀

tech companies are also getting lean to weather an economic storm that's coming, in part, due to their own self-serving and shitty choices, like supporting an erratic authoritarian with dementia who is destabilizing the climate, dismantling the legal system, and demolishing the social safety net

Fortify, the AI face recognition software now being used on American streets by ICE, was built by the Israeli company Corsight.

Corsight developed the tool for the IDF to surveil Palestenians.

Corsight is owned by Canadian-based AWZ Ventures, which is Stephen Harper's venture capital firm.

(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

To get buy-in from all 10 provinces (which it didn't), Canada's constitution has a clause allowing provinces to override its fundamental rights and freedoms. The framers -- I've spoken to some -- imagined it used in existential-crisis cases. Well, a province just used it to break a teachers' strike

Rodney dangerfield in a Jays jay

I'm not sayin' that Jays game ran too long or anything, I'm just sayin', the fans at the Toronto watch party got to ride home on the newly opened Eglinton Crosstown LRT

Black and white photo of two men standing in front of a vintage car. The person on the right, identified as Babe Ruth, is wearing a New York Yankees jacket, knee-high socks, and shorts, typical of early baseball uniforms. The person on the left is dressed in a formal suit and tie.

Babe Ruth was one of the greatest baseball players in history.
He revolutionized the sport with his homerun hitting but he may have never found his way to baseball immortality if not for a priest from Cape Breton.
This is the story of Brother Matthias.

While Doug Ford focuses attention on controversial ads, and distractions like pouring Crown Royal along with other gimmicks, he’s quietly dismantling rules meant to keep our elections free, fair & with limits on influence peddling. He’s put his own interests before our democracy.
