The Dominican Republic team is frighteningly good, and theirs is the only non-Blue Jays uniform I ever want to see Vlad wearing.
if Team Italy isn't dancing to Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso after wins a la the 2022 Phillies with Dancing On My Own... what is this tournament even for???
Oh I love that.
Man, I love baseball.
Thunder, ThunderCats, Chaos, Toros, Phantom, Rock, PakMen -- the teams at volleyball tournaments sound like the crews in a breakdancing movie from 1987 starring Mario van Peebles and Rae Dawn Chong.
I enjoy a little baseball with breakfast.

I still have a copy of that S&S with Bell on the cover. Buying their annual guide used to be a spring ritual.
Cleaned out the drawer in my bedside table.
Volleyball tournament, Saturday morning, Toronto Metropolitan University.
Rest assured they'll certainly institute a universal basic income so that humanity can finally realize the fruit of all that hard work: endless leisure time! These are clearly the people to steer us into that glorious future. I mean, look at their track records; they clearly value human lives first!
"Why don't people like us?" COME ON.
They're gleefully plotting the end of good things for everyone but themselves.
WE CAN CHOOSE A DIFFERENT WORLD, one that doesn't assume the rise of these stupid LLMs and the dorks who control it. If you can't link AI to fascism, ubiquitous techno-surveillance, climate change, poverty, racism, enshittification, etc. I honestly don't know what to tell you.
jesus christ, it's bc it comes at the expense of human happiness and creativity, and is being forced down our throats, and it's very not good at the things it purports to be able to do, and these charisma-averse, longevity-obsessed ghouls keep telling us its inevitable

Yeah, this is a classic for a reason
Honus Wagner was born on this date in 1874.
In his honour, I present this photo of him at Labatt Park in London, Ont., for a Pittsburgh Pirates exhibition game on Aug. 29, 1941.
The photo was uncovered from the London Free Press archives by Stephen Harding and David Mendham.
Those women -- among the very best in their field on the planet -- have had to fight for more, and make greater sacrifices, than any of those boys partying in their safe, cloistered space with that disgraced, status-seeking, ass-kissing FBI director.
Beautiful snowy morning on the trail.
Marchand has progressed to sadness while Sid is clearly still in the anger stage
And here comes the sadness
Well now I'm mad
THIS IS A LOT OF DRAMA FOR A QUIET SUNDAY MORNING
That was so many men
Okay, breathe. 🇨🇦🏒
Yup, Senators fan, but I can cheer enthusiastically against Brady Tkachuk when the situation demands it.
Do not like.
Sounds amazing. Likely needs some field research, though.
Good luck with it!
Pal, it would be irresponsible NOT to do it!
