Austin holding on at the half (barely). Go Austin!

To see or not to see? Every single Shakespeare play – ranked! Antony and Cleopatra? Exhausting. Lear? Magnificent but flawed. Hamlet? Limitless. For Shakespeare’s birthday, the Guardian’s former theatre critic ranks all the plays

To see or not to see? Every single Shakespeare play – ranked!

Austin leading San Jose!

AUSTIN TAKES THE LEAD!!!

Tim Ford sighting! Now, how is he going to screw this up?

70: You know, antique plates are available for this model ...

And honesty ...

Sweet Jesus. The taxpayers just gifted $1.25M to this asshole. KBJ was right when she said the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America if Roberts granted Trump immunity.

No TVs? Geez, what a wasted opportunity.

It is not outrageous for Canadian provinces to respond to a trade war (started in breach of our existing agreements) and threats of annexation with a targeted import limitation. Our government is run by bad people who are also bad at their jobs. Canadians are wholly right to retaliate as they did.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is out with a new (very bad) decision, and it's a doozy.

The Fifth Circuit says that Texas can require the Ten Commandments in classrooms. But somehow it gets worse.

IF YOU’RE IN LINE TO GET CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, STAY IN LINE

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Save the Vancouver Whitecaps FC!

Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"
Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... "

His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.

Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.

No 3 is Canada's contribution to terraforming the solar system ....

Whitecaps STH here. During the game against NYCFC I met an otherwise apparently intelligent tourist from the Netherlands who passionately believed that FIFA had rigged the 2022 World Cup Final so that Messi could win. Nothing will ever change his mind.

I haven't watched SJ play, so cannot form a meaningful opinion. But I'm more concerned about LAFC. They looked very dangerous in their early games and against Cruz Azul, and Caps have played a lot at home and against easier competition.

Real tests are May 9, Caps at SJ, and Aug 1, LAFC at Caps.

If we can just keep these guys healthy and avoid too many Cubas suspensions, then we might sent a record for clean sheets and lowest goals against. And that is how you win championships.

Caps look amazing, but eye test is not quite a finished product. Vesellonvic will be back soon, then Gauld and maybe Adekugbe too. In a couple of months Priso.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
