Extra innings in Toronto may end up precipitating an ICE crackdown in LA.
Los Angeles, CA -
LAPD once again calling unlawful assembly outside of the Douglas bar as fans are watching the dodger game via laptop and radio the bar turned the tv off. About 30 minutes ago, they called it for the first time and said 5 minutes. Now giving 20 minutes to disperse. Top of the 10th.

@cullenoncurling.bsky.social listening to broom brothers re pre-trials. It could be really interesting to hear a hard pokey-stick interview with either playoff-contenders or low-performers of that event about what it meant to them and how they feel about it from the other side.

Edmonton's infill election is over, and Edmontonians overwhelmingly voted for a pro-infill council. The predicted backlash never came.
Now, it's time to build. And what better place to start than near our LRT stations.

I’m in Japan right now, and most of my social media feed is Canadian sources, so I’m going to have a hard time tuning out the Jays vs Ohtani World Series news for the next week…

Exciting new acquisition for my guinomi collection. It’s from a small studio in Iwate that does maki-e on top of nambu ironware.

@taprootedmonton.ca loving the “best city in the world” Leslie Knope energy coming from Stephanie in the last pod. And I say this as a satisfied “checks a lot of boxes for a lot of guys” level Edmontonian.

You know who is unreasonable and greedy? Schoolteachers. Yeah, that’s a plausible storyline. #sarcasm
Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner has issued a statement saying he’s disappointed in the result and questions if the ATA leaders know what teachers want.
ATA has said they took the latest offer to members b/c they couldn’t get traction at the bargaining table on class size/composition #AbLeg

Tim Cartmell and Better Edmonton are cheating.
They're intentionally breaking election signage rules, and they're happy to use their large corporate donations to make any fines go away.
They believe in a city where rules do not apply to the rich and powerful

Tigers have orange stripes to blend in with green foliage.
Because their prey is orange/green colourblind, and orange pigmentation is much easier for mammal biology to evolve than green.

Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

A fun intense focused three person melodramedy. Good character work and great immersive use of the restaurant as a venue. Get a chicken sandwich for dinner before the show — Waffle Bird is good.

Very polished storytelling show featuring a very expressive crow puppet and atmospheric diy lighting, but needs more than one idea — hammering home the crow puns got pretty one note. Also, the venue is stiflingly hot on a merely warm day.
