NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

In English, we call it "heartburn" even though it has nothing to do with the heart. English seems to be uniquely off-base in that regard - no other language I looked at uses "heart" in their term for heartburn. What they DO call it runs the gamut from "stomach burn" to "hot belching syndrome"

There are 3 players to appear for MIL & TB this postseason who have appeared in a World Series game: Yandy Díaz, Dustin May & Steven Matz Not counting 1st WS (1903), 3 would tie 2017 (Beltrán, JV, Utley) for 3rd-fewest players to appear in a WS who had prior WS experience, behind:

A dumb little thing I always find funny is when a baseball play by play guy says the outfielder was positioned perfectly as he makes a running catch. If he was positioned perfectly then why did he have to run?

Marco putting...uh...El Salvador and Venezuela (I guess?) on notice. Does the US have any other allies who are part of the ICC?

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, massively overreaching for someone with tiny arms: “Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. “And we expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC, and that rely on American service members for their defence, to rein in this rogue court.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Nearly 100!

(1/5) I am pleased to announce that my Administration will, immediately, begin sending “Checks” of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, which we have already reduced by significant amounts. This money will come

Hey ChatGPT, how often does the letter d appear in United States?

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

This is the second or third worst bracket I could imagine. But it's all mine.

"Both teams could eliminate each other today" - Dan Shulman today ahead of the Jays doubleheader with the Orioles. That would seem like the appropriate way to put a bow on this crap season. #BlueJays #Orioles

Donald Trump's "deal" with Belarus on potash was an obvious (and empty) bluff. And yet, Pierre Poilievre's MPs were more than willing to believe it -- and blame the federal government and a non-existent carbon tax instead. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/23/o...

nationalobserver.comPierre Poilievre’s Conservatives can’t wait to buy Trump’s bullshitDonald Trump's latest economic threat involves replacing Canada's potash with imports from Belarus. The official opposition decided to blame ... the carbon tax?

28 years ago today, Roy Halladay made his MLB debut with the Blue Jays. He allowed three runs in five innings to the Rays in the Blue Jays' 7-5 win at Tropicana Field. Rich Butler (East York, Ont.) became the first MLBer to homer off Halladay when he went deep in the fourth.

That's a great way to describe how I felt, and I was never even a hockey player.

In late July, I started working on a feature trying to figure out where Canadians’ heads were at. Then came another Trumpquake, and a late-breaking story that changed everything. Gift link: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/9bc9b25...

It’s so frustrating to see story after story of “Trump says so and so deal could happen soon” without any context of the fact he says this shit all the time for things that don’t happen

Danielle Smith’s refusal to entertain an export tax on oil betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of Trumpism, oil markets, and the leverage Canada has right now. If she wants to fight for Canada, she can stop tying our strongest hand behind our back. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/11/o...

The two sides want to move as close as legally possible without Canada becoming an EU member. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is expected to unveil the initiative on September 16 with Carney addressing the European Parliament the following day. 2/2

Thomas Pannone has just thrown the fifth nine-inning CG perfect game in International League history. The 32-year-old Nashville lefty (Brewers org) dominated, needing only 93 pitches to do it. The final batter got to a 3-0 count, the first 3-ball count Pannone had since the 2nd.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
