Breaking: Chow’s re-election and the progressive lean of city council means the Toronto Caliphate is finally coming to pass!! Excited to watch Stephen Holyday recite the Shahada in front of thousands at Nathan Phillips Square.

Meanwhile the local councillor I “helped” with social media got the most votes and secured re-election so a good night for democracy.

The thing about the culture war is it’s basically unwinnable. Especially when it’s fought on their wholly owned turf and their bad faith terms. They have more bodies than you have bullets.

Not only did the City have to lock replies, the wife of Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, took the time to mock the move. We have people, including a local tech leader, throwing the city under the bus for American culture war nonsense.

Again, we probably really really should do something about the fact that a vast majority of our media/social media/information gathering apparatuses are controlled by the most evil, monstrous freaks on Earth.

“Overmanaging isn’t real” Kevin Cash assures himself as he closes his eyes and runs into another out with his shitty gimmick team

“They do the little things that drive teams crazy” I agree, John. The best hitter on the other team hitting a laser beam so hard it collapses the space-time continuum is a real bee in my bonnet.

I can’t stop thinking about the boomers hooked on their screens story. The fresh horrors device throwing darts, 101 on the black, peak Randy Johnston shit these days.

Observing The City
@observingthecity.ca

Not only has Bike Share ridership continued to grow 11% year-over-year, it has quietly become *profitable* for the first time. That's right, when the province removes safe bike routes, they are also harming a *revenue-source* for the city.

Same reason they hate streetcars!

ℳatt@matttomic.bsky.social

As a reminder, the entire reason this specific bike lane is somehow under the purview of the Provincial Government is because our moron Premier has to pass it on his way to his job (on the rare days he goes to work) and the sight of a cyclist passing his SUV in traffic makes his blood BOIL

I knew I hated “nibbling, five and dive” Blake Snell but I think I hate “unhittable monster mowing people down” Snell even more!

Inning and a half of the fuck ass Rays and I am reminded they make me 10x angrier than the Dodgers ever could.

Changing pitchers in the middle of the at bat seems insane. You’re not setting the next guy up for success when he’s already behind in the count!

The Dodgers have got this thing figured out - it even works against other future Hall of Famers!

Drew@drewgrof.bsky.social

Having three consecutive hall of famers in your lineup—even if one of them is sort of washed—seems ideal.

It’s been two years since Ontario Place West Island was destroyed for a planned private spa. Hundreds of trees were cut down - here’s a snapshot of the many species who lost habitat. 🧵

So who replaces Mike Krukow? @alexsimonsports.bsky.social has the latest intel for @sfgate.com on the plan to replace an SF Giants broadcasting legend, from the frontrunners to the dark horses to the process ahead: www.sfgate.com/giants/artic...

sfgate.comHow will the SF Giants replace Mike Krukow? We spoke to several candidates."There will be people filling in that role, but nobody’s going to replace Mike."

This kid was in the gym during my men’s league game tonight. It is hard to process 7’6 in real life with only average sized people around him. Let’s say it’s “very tall.”
