Banners of Jays players hang outside the Rogers Centre looking over large lines for the Springer bobblehead

Fun fact about these player banners that hang outside the SkyDome. (I was talking to the guy at the Authentics Store.)

They sell them after the season, but they're a pain in the ass for staff (they're about 3 storeys tall and 300 pounds). To date they've only ever sold one: to Chris Bassitt's dad.

Just to crib Jan's great chart here a little bit - here are just a few of the headlines that came out when growth somewhat slowed in 2024

Many, many media outlets do not really know how to handle technological change like this

I am truly a fan of the “All Trump Needs to Do Is Be The Opposite of Who He Has Shown Us He Is For 79 Years” genre of opinion column

Dear Jays Fans | By Ernie Clement Baseball is my favorite thing in the world, man. And I’m so honored I get to play it with the Jays and in Toronto.

Thanks to @lesleynope.bsky.social for forwarding this to me.

My favorite, living Rochesterian baseball player.

The idea "Americans won't care until it affects gas prices" is perpetuated not through actual experience, but because PEOPLE LIKE US REPEAT IT ENDLESSLY WHILE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE US SIGH IN CONTEMPT AND NOD OUR HEADS.

It is NOT TRUE IN ANY EMPIRICALLY OBSERVABLE WAY.

Another open-book test of spine and moral backbone that will be failed en masse by the people who are supposed to be watchdogs of democracy.

You turn down invites from Nazis, kids. It’s the easiest call to make. Imagine if Trump walked into a room empty aside from ten Fox News clowns.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

NABJ Chicago calls for the immediate release of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort arrested after filming Minnesota church protest • The TRiiBE Journalism organizations condemn the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort as vindictive attacks on press freedom.

UPDATE — The Chicago Chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is calling for the immediate release of Lemon and Fort, and for all charges against them to be withdrawn.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

The poise of this woman in the face of these masked thugs is something I do not think I could summon.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota

kole_calho... • 3h Follow • •• X I've stayed out of speaking on politics because I really don't understand it. I knew I didn't when yards once filled with flags of sports teams or child achievements were replaced with a person's favorite politician. I knew l didn't understand it when I could no longer have civil conversations with long time friends because views were being pushed on me. I've always sat somewhere in the middle and could understand the points raised by both sides but those were personal then and politics is not kept personal or confidential anymore.

kole_calho... • 3h | Follow ••• X What this administration is doing when it comes to immigration is blatantly racist, targeting people based on the color of their skin or the sound of their last name. There is a much more civilized way to do this that involves working together with state officials as opposed to inserting the administrations will on a state whose citizens have stood up for their neighbors and said this is not right!

kole_calho... • 3h Follow X I've been silent because that is easy. But silence is a privilege and silence is complicit. Standing up and speaking for what you believe in takes courage. I don't care about what side you're on or who you voted for, this is wrong. This is wrong and is imposing on the basic freedoms we have in the country. Wake up! Speak out!

Former MLB OF Kole Calhoun speaks out. “What this administration is doing is blatantly racist…I’ve been silent because that is easy. I don’t care what side you’re on or who you voted for, this is wrong… Wake up! Speak out!”

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.

Bluesky is a sports app now. I don't make the rules.

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.

I feel like I’m going insane, there is, like, an actual Venezuelan government that still exists

WTF are we doing here, BBC?

Happy Birthday Ann! What a treat that he was able to do that for you 😍

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

This is new FDA CDER Director with a father who believes his son was killed by COVID vaccine. She is in front of FDA sign and smiling while pointing to his vest which has Pfizer's logo and a bloody handprint on it.

Perhaps apropos. In a 1939 internal note, NBC regretted *not* censoring announcer Walter Winchell after he called Hitler a "madman".

I know: he’s a racist authoritarian who’s running a militantly racist government constantly doing and saying racist things, carrying out a highly militarized campaign of ethnic cleansing and also doing anti diversity crackdown all over the place. And yet…his racist rhetoric IS getting worse, somehow

Can't think of a single perverse incentive here. Sounds great! Should definitely be partnering with news organizations!

North Korean-style. A Potemkin village of fake journalists.
