Dutch food is the AI slop of global cuisine

You like cheese? You like mustard? Welcome to Amsterdam; here's the world's worst sandwich

Lot of bad food out there, but credit bitterballen for being consistently both mundane and repulsive

Tomorrow's matchup was inevitable. It has always been thus and it was always going to be thus: hammering chests and slow drowning. This is the Dream of Ben and Celine.

Bring back hating the Military-Industrial Complex

Eisenhower was right when he warned about the ascendancy of the Military-Industrial Complex. After LBJ escalated the Vietnam War to financially benefit his benefactors at Brown & Root (Haliburton), it was a done deal: the Military-Industrial Complex was in control. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBR,_Inc.

Living the dream

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Legendary Blue Jays Broadcaster Buck Martinez Announces Retirement Press Release: www.rogerssportsandmedia.com/the-latest/l...

It’s hard to believe I came to Toronto in a trade in May of 1981, thinking that would be the end of a very good career. Little did I know that I still would be associated with the Blue Jays through the 2025 season.

What a glorious season it was. It was a joy and an honour to be involved in each and every game through Game 7 of the World Series. Only one other outcome could have topped the fantastic year.

After the World Series, my wife Arlene and I had plenty of time to think about the past and look forward to our future. After many heartfelt conversations, we both decided it was time for me to step out of the booth and enjoy the years ahead.

It has been a fantastic journey with Sportsnet, the Blue Jays and the wonderful Blue Jays fans all over the world. Thank you all for embracing me and welcoming my family and me in a way that has made us feel like we are part of yours. I will dearly miss my working partners, the leadership at Rogers, and the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club, all of whom made it so much fun to be at the ballpark talking about the game I’ve loved for my whole life. As to the fans specifically, I will miss the “selfies,” the handshakes and the welcoming smiles. I will never forget any of those, nor the unwavering support and generosity, which has meant more than words can say. I look forward to continuing to root for the Blue Jays along with you, and you’ll always be in my heart. My sincere appreciation to all of you.

I had hoped to be part of the 50th year of the Toronto Blue Jays but it’s time to pass the torch. Enjoy 2026 and beyond, I will see you down the road.

With the utmost gratitude and respect,

Buck Martinez
