Moment when it truly sunk in how wrong I was about Lukes was at the second of my two in-person games in May against the Padres, when he had the big walk-off hit. Then and ever since, he's such an incredibly clutch batter and the defence truly impresses.

My most-wrong Jays take of the year was back in April when, after a costly baserunning error, I said confidently Lukes should be first down to the minors when the next guy up was back from the IL. Whoops.

This is modern art.

Book it, Danos

I'm not sure there's a more useless traffic sign in Halifax than the time-sensitive "No right turn on red" going from Connaught onto Bayers Road.

Sat in the straight lane and watched no less than 15 cars in a row turn right on red when they weren't supposed to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Saying, in absolute, that the values or morality of artistic motivation determine or limit the value of that art neglects the important role of the audience in defining that value.

I’m not actually sure I agree with the headline, in theory, but there’s a lot I agree with here otherwise.

That's the MacKay, of course. The Macdonald still feels a bit more chaotic, but I think drivers are getting used to it.

Still a couple of iffy spots Halifax-bound sometimes in terms of driver behaviour (particularly ramps from Victoria Road and Princess Margaret). But yeah, not needing to go from two lanes to six and then back to two again certainly seems to be limiting foolishness a fair bit.

My social algorithms are 50% Taylor and 50% Blue Jays right now, so shout-out to the TikTok user who mashed them together, pairing lyrics from "Eldest Daughter" with a photo of the Yankees ("I'm not a bad bitch") and last night's phenom pitcher ("This is 'Yesavage'")

As a frequent bridge commuter, this feels about right (as does the 40% reduction in collisions). A mixed bag of good and bad. Just different. (Also, read for @samaustind5.bsky.social correctly asking about when transit priority will return.)

Got too tense there with the bullpen collapse but the bats put it beyond doubt. You love to knock around their best pitcher. Vibes are good.

Two games into the first day of the division series and the bye teams sure don’t look like they were rusty.

Jays pouring on the runs like they did on Sunday.

I thought it was wild enough not walking him right away. Not walking him on a 3-0 count? Beautifully Boone brained.

Me, the last time the Jays played in game 1 of the ALDS. Hoping for a similarly great result this afternoon!

David Bowie’s Heroes probably wins this prompt. Springsteen’s The Rising isn’t a personal fav but it’s still pretty good.

Some of us need our beauty sleep, not Yankees anxiety!

Those were the ones I was complaining about!

Those game 3 and game 5 start times are Atlantic Time Rude

"Eldest Daughter," the requisite Track Five, really, really wants to be that all-timer Taylor Swift song but it just never really gets there, does it?

Taylor Swift is still really, really good at what she does. But Life of a Showgirl feels like another album, just like her last one, where I'm not sure there's a true all-timer Taylor Swift song on here. There used to be two, three, or more of those every record she put out.

On the one hand, lots of case examples showing the odds of suing and winning on chord progression alone are very low. But on the other, these sorts of artists love to just settle and get the credit on there… I’ll be curious to see!

Regrettably, the song that most aligns with this criticism — "Actually Romantic" — is a banger. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Taylor Swift has (almost) always written in autobiography. But she used to write in such a way that you could hear yourself and real people you knew in her big dramas and little stolen moments. Now, it's impossible to hear anyone but TAYLOR SWIFT. For those invested in that persona, she's all yours.

Not sure if you’re a Taskmaster watcher but… man, big couple of weeks for Thompson Twins references!
