I’m so confused. I’m not a prospect guy but Nimmala was a name I knew and was kind of excited to eventually see.
Toronto Blue Jays@bluejaysbot.bsky.social · 3d agoOFFICIAL: We’re acquired RHP José Soriano from the Angels in exchange for INF Arjun Nimmala, OF Eddie Micheletti Jr. and RHP Angel Rivero.
To film The Odyssey, IMAX’s newest camera had to survive mountains, deserts, and the open sea—but also intimate conversations between actors. IMAX's global president takes us through how the engineering behind that leap happened right in Mississauga.

Who else is Odyssey-maxxing? I spoke with IMAX’s global president about the 🇨🇦 innovation behind Christopher Nolan’s summer blockbuster, and if the company can get the IMAX experience into more theatres.

Gambling ads being the most consistent user of public facing AI-generated commercials checks out. World’s most extractive industry can’t even be assed to generate some value by employing like 12 people for a day of shoots.
Just watching the nice sunny Toronto Blue Jays game from the pits of hell here in Ottawa
So this is what it looks like to see Staios flailing. Feels like he’s completely lost control. No Giroux, re-sign Cousins, trade for Ersson and Burakovsky for NO reason (likely FAs). Then you DON’T QO Ersson then give him MORE money and term? Even if you believed in him you coulda QO’d!
Canada Day Eve margs and my fiancée showing me love island clips explaining the lore
Really scared to see Nick Cousins re-sign with the Sens right after insiders say Giroux is going to UFA. My heartbreak will no know bounds if Giroux is wearing any other crest next year.
Everyone trading up because the Sens went off the board and suddenly there’s guys available they didn’t expect to be available. Cmon.
Like 75% of the watch value of the draft is the family members happy crying 🥲
Hockey talking heads stop trying to act like Paul Bissonnette challenge
Matthew Schaefer already a natural on the Sportsnet panel wow lmao. Dude’s already setting the foundation for the post-playing media career.
I feel like the vibes of the upcoming Sens season are actually going to be very good. Of course we seem to have a knack for punching above our weight in drama, but idk, I suddenly feel hyped. Like the scorned fan base is going to show up out of pure spite this year.
Thinking about how I ran into Chabot at a random Starbucks on Baseline road because he sticks around Ottawa for the offseason.
Maybe bad take but I really WANTED to like Brady. This is a shame imo, but it was getting harder to grit my teeth and cheer this team with him on it while he’s so obviously obtuse. This is insane.
GOT ROOM FOR ONE MORE GREIG, OTTAWA? 🔋 We have signed forward Dara Greig to a 2-year Standard Player Agreement. 📰 bit.ly/4g2QV7r
Is Staios actually trades Spence he deserves a slap upside the head. Literally the reason the Sens could remotely survive all the D injuries.

@madisonmcla.bsky.social is a tech reporter, and definitely not an MMA devotee ...which is exactly why we sent her to hang out w/ UFC fighters to hear all about how they're trying to biohack their way to a win: betakit.com/can-a-saliva...

Watching Summer Games Fest you can tell Geoff Keighley has been psychically damaged by Highguard cause he isn’t doing his usual “this game is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen” routine for ever other announcement. Even the final reveal he wasn’t putting his hype on the line.
