Brain-injured Blue Jays ⚾ fan just trying to survive this airborne pandemic, societal collapse and the Blue Jays front office. #MasksWork so wear the best one you can. Your brain is a dreadful thing to lose to a virus. Ask me how I know.

When illness felled me and ended my medical career, when I moved to the "other end of the stethoscope" as they say, I realized so many things. The unimaginable value in knowing you've been heard, chief among them. I so wish I could practice again, knowing what I live every day. A Medical must-read⬇️

“I must sound so ungrateful,” a father said. Where patients usually say “thank you," he said: help me understand why no one listens to us? The “ungrateful” patient taught me: Patients don’t owe us gratitude. We owe them the truth. And the willingness to listen. drzedzha.substack.com/p/the-ungrat...

With more than 520,000 votes earned and a few polls still left to count, Olivia Chow will be elected with the largest raw vote total of any mayor since Toronto’s amalgamation in 1998. (Many more people in the city since Mel Lastman’s days, of course.)

Not to boast, but it seems I pack some pretty powerful birds. 🖕🏼² Brad²

Side note. Out for some neighbourhood walks recently and, by absolute brainstem-level reflex, I flipped double birds to a BradBrad sign. And now I cannot pass a sign without that avian response AND judgment of the homeowner. Truly feel sorry for their neighbours.

Now that it is 
the last week of October 
if they ask why 
you are wearing a mask 
just tell them you 
are wearing a costume 
for a Halloween party, 
and when they ask 
what you are dressed as, 
tell them you are dressed as
someone who gives a damn
about other people.

please do not vote for Bradford Bradford, an empty vessel who has never had an original thought or conviction in his life that wasn't A/B-tested by a team of consultants. a useless dork who uses AI apps to get facebook trolls to fight battles for him. a truly mediocre man

The IDU is an international syndicate for far-right authoritarians, and Canada’s Conservative Party is actively aligned with it. Keeping membership in this organization is a direct betrayal of democratic values. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

While I waited for my flushot, a woman rolled up to the pharmacy counter to ask for one. She repeatedly looked over at me and I presumed it was my mask she was ogling. I said they also have Covid shots available. "Oh no. I'm not taking any more of those." 🙄🤬😔 #StillAPandemic #PublicHealthHasFailed

Voter suppression is about encouraging anyone who might vote for another candidate to stay home, so you need fewer votes for your own candidate to win. Publishing fake polls indicating a lead for BradBrad in the final days is classic voter suppression. Worked for Ford X3.

If a simple public works project requires this much police presence to keep out the objecting public, then perhaps the decision makers should consider that their decision does not reflect the true desires of the public they supposedly represent.

Sitting in my dentist's waiting room this morning was a young man wearing a T-shirt that said "Everybody vs Covid-19". Maskless. Sometimes I despair about the big brains part.

We do have an advantage though. Our very big brains. Using that, we have discovered means to slow and stop disease. We can work smarter than viruses.

Happy Batflippiversary to everyone, whether you celebrate or not! (If not, honestly, why not?!)

11 years ago today, José Bautista sent the baseball world wild after his dramatic home run in Game 5 of the ALDS 😤

I know for a lot of y'all Tim Anderson isn't much of a sympathetic figure, but Josh Donaldson dickish, derisive "Jackie" digs at Anderson probably should disqualify him from front-facing broadcast gigs like this one, but what do I know?

Cold and flu season is year round now that we live in an ongoing pandemic that most people stopped caring about 4-5 years ago, hope that helps.

We won’t stand by while Mark Carney launches the biggest attack on workers’ rights, Indigenous rights, and the environment that we've seen since the Harper era. Join our emergency town hall on October 14th, and let’s build the power to stop Bill C-39 together. RSVP here: www.ndp.ca/stop-bill-c39

If you are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed right now, please know that not only did the enormous political propaganda machine not work on you, but you are the exact kind of person we need to engage, raise your voice, vote, and speak truth to power. We need you. Do not give up.

Can you imagine being that Yankees fan who assured the prompt exit of their team from the postseason? Do you think they're going to show that ball around to friends and family? Display it in a place of honour? Yeesh.

Not having been subjected to this in Canada, after hearing so many of you comment, I unfortunately looked up what N*vig is. That is disgusting. Get your porn and gambling out of baseball. Also, just saw Vladdy in some gambling ad?! Aw come on, man.

Julie K.@jklingen.bsky.social

Has anyone read any news articles about the offensive Novig commercial with a woman teasing viewers by wearing nothing but sports equipment? Why is @MLB ok with this? Play off games have devolved into porn and gambling sites, not fit for kids or adults. It dishonors the game. #MLB #GamblingAddiction

Somebody smarter than I please explain why, during the MLB WC round, we had games starting at 1pm and seemingly watchably spaced out throughout the day but now 4 games are jammed into a 6 hour window starting a 4pm. Is it just that that window is shifted later in the day?

The announcer just said that they played the Sesame Street theme for Teoscar Hernandez and I couldn't begin to come up with a reason why. So, too lazy to type, I used voice dictation to ask the question of my phone and it mistyped Oscar Hernandez....💡🙄

braves-dodgers is a good reminder that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a flawed concept i can have two enemies

Nearly a day late but I was up from 0130h to 0300h trying to get a bird out of my apartment (separate story) but did y'all look at the moon and Venus last night (0400h, Toronto)? 🌙 If the moon keeps this up, I'm really going to have to finally figure out my camera settings.
