BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

Toronto Blue Jays@bluejaysbot.bsky.social · 3d agoFrom the minute you became a Blue Jay, you embraced this city and this country as if it was your own. Thank you, Gausy, for all that you’ve meant to this team, to this community, to our clubhouse, and to this fanbase 💙
I am absolutely elated that the Blue Jays finally traded Jeff Hoffman. Good riddance! And honestly? My deepest, most sincere apologies in advance to Minnesota. You have no idea what you’re in for.
Hardest thing in the world to teach the modern social media user is that just because you haven't seen a tweet about it doesn't mean it ain't happening
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3d agotbc i don’t blame this guy for not knowing, our news coverage of all of this has been very poor and if you’re not in a state that’s impacted or not a news hound, it’s easy to miss
It's a shame Kevin Gausman didn't get one last shot at a playoff run with the Blue Jays, but he was central to some of the club's most important games since signing in 2021. He was a true workhorse and one of the best starting pitchers in Blue Jays history.
Pathetic and repulsive. What's the fucking money for if not to stand for something.

What if someone told you there's MORE than one horse? Have you ever considered that?
Does Google ultimately even want this? Do they want the reputational damage in the medium to long-term of being seen as an extension of the American state?

Haydon@haydonmp.bsky.social · 2w agoI can’t imagine a more personally humiliating thing than to be Chotiner’d by Douthat. Astonishing.
It's been a challenge to explain how pissed Canadians are about this stuff, even to my American friends who recently came here for a visit, because it all seems so stupid. But it's THE political issue at the moment. And it won't go away when Trump dies because hes not the only one pushing it.

This morning I get an alert on my phone telling me that the Raptors are looking at trading for KD and Fred Van Vleet. Wow! Crazy! I click through and am taken to a Gemini summary which in turn cites a Yahoo article... Which does not say that the Raptors are interested at all. It's just a suggestion.

The ominous foreshadowing for this Giants season really is something. Everything you see suggests Skattebo and Dart are both going to die running a fucked up QB draw in week 4
