i wish for everyone a mayor who truly loves their city

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

Simple rule: if you're wearing a bucket hat in a bar past midnight and you're not Donald Fukken Sullivan, you should not get served.

So many photos of the hazy orange sky in Toronto being shared on social media. Reminder: "It is estimated that First Nations communities make up 42% of evacuations due to wildfires but only make up 5% of people living in Canada." www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

Another pipeline will clearly help the situation. And so will reducing the oil industry’s emissions reduction targets.

Netflix is going to make us wait three years for the final round, aren't they?

Ce soir, nous sommes tous Belges.

Do the Peacock announcers on the Pirates-Nats game realize they're not broadcasting golf?

@cptowers.bsky.social Happy birthday, Chris!

A 3-year-old giraffe has been missing for nearly two weeks in Texas

Oh, FFS, we're doing that arsehole Babcock in the Year of our Lord 2026. Really?!? NHL is broken beyond repair.

@sporer.bsky.social That PTFO opening on the most recent pod was brilliant (and hilarious!). Well done, from one Paul to another...

That couldn't be more boarding.

@cptowers.bsky.social Listening to the pod: you guys don't talk about the Expos enough. :-)

god, will you leave my goddamn country alone for one fucking day

shut the fuck up

Everybody, and I mean absolutely everybody, who has been complaining about MLB salaries, market structure, tge Dodgers, finances, etc, etc etc better be posting about how Jose Ramirez has yet again signed for way below his market value and Cleveland will, yet again, waste that winfall.

@cptowers.bsky.social I'm glad I'm not the only one who associates Nolan Gorman with Andor...

@lordofaddersblack.bsky.social Just finished listening to the final double episode. I truely enjoyed the podcast about this amazingly cunning show. Thank you both. (BTW, I had never heard of Porridge before... I will have to dig it up and watch it...) Thanks again and all the best to you both.

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday. His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

Baseball is the best. (First: @slangsonsports.bsky.social )

Phineas and Ferb are at the bar!!!!

Had to explain ground rules to three random people at the bar.

I hope Ernie Clement remembers to jump like an idiot when he hits the Game Six walk-off HR.

How was that not an E5?!?

Ford just put every renter in Ontario into an even more precarious position. This is a clear and present danger to the 1.7 million renters in Ontario.

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover. Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

@enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social Just listening to the pod, would del Castillo end up playing first if the D-backs trade Naylor?

Nothing to see here …just Poilievre supporting the convoy again that illegally occupied the streets of Ottawa for weeks, wanted to oust our gvt, harassed citizens, shit on the streets, blocked international bridges and caused enormous financial losses for Canadian businesses. Go to hell Poilievre.

Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · last yr.

No wonder the people of Ottawa kicked this guy into the unemployment line. For 3 weeks the capital was occupied. Citizens were threatened. Businesses were forced to shut from harassment. Poilievre brought the donuts. Canada is dealing with threat from Trump while Poilievre whines about the convoy.

Just realized the ChiSox are playing the Rockies this weekend and it's a fucken affront to baseball.

@briancgrubb.bsky.social re: your Calamity Jane rabbit hole. I recently saw Deadwood's Jane, Robin Weigert, in something (Will Trent; gah, it was Will Trent). I checked out her imdb page and her most recent credit is for a Gremlins animated series voicing Calamity Jane. Thought that was cool.
