I am against a salary cap in #MLB as it does not benefit the fan and actually makes it more costly for a fan to attend or watch a game.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

Question of the day. Capitalism has put almost 1% of Global GDP in Elon Musk's hands. Is this the best, most effective and efficient use of those resources?

A new PBO report confirms adding new tax brackets for the wealthiest 0.3% would raise over $1 billion a year. Instead of selling off Canada’s strategic public assets like airports, we should be asking those who have benefited most from our society to contribute their fair share.

I am half a century old and am Canadian. I grew up on a steady diet of entertaining movies where the USA was last hope and savior, whether it was an asteroid crashing into the planet, a soviet invasion, an epidemic, super villain, etc. Who is going to save "us" now in the movies if the USA is Bad.

#fantasyfootball week 1 advice: don't over react. For most teams week 1 is the 1st time starters get meaningful action and are in most cases shaking off the cobwebs and rust. We see a lot of crazy results. Adjust for injuries but don't second guess your draft choices without more gms played.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I don't tip on UberEats due to a lack of price transparency, charged service fee and delivery fee. Between the three items there should be enough to compensate the delivery person. #ubereats

Bike helmets, to wear or not to wear? One does not wear a bike helmet to prevent crashing, but to mitigate damage to the head if one does crash. Many proponents of not wearing helmets will cite science showing helmets don't prevent crashes, well Duh! Cyclists you do you, IMO no helmet is stupid.

“Cyclists as a whole on any given day will not even cause hundreds of pounds worth of damage. And they cause a major incident, on average, once every three to six years. “And yes, that’s also why vehicle drivers need mandatory insurance and cyclists do not”

Pro-Trump QB Jaxson Dart shared a TikTok video of Aaron Rodgers suggesting the AIDS epidemic was fake and Biden had been replaced by an imposter. — It just keeps getting better with this guy, huh? I knew there was something I didn’t like about him when he was at Ole Miss.

Here’s the deal for those confused: “America 250” is the bipartisan celebration committee. “Freedom 250” is a Trump organization celebrating him masquerading as a celebration of America. The concert was Freedom 250. Hence the cancellations
