On Sept. 19, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Yusei Kikuchi took himself out of a game against the New York Yankees — all because he hadn't slept enough the night before. Kikuchi got a cramp involving a muscle that is critical to the left-handed pitcher's delivery. He said he only got 11 hours of sleep the night before, instead of the usual 13 to 14 hours he sleeps before a game when he is the starting pitcher.

As the youth say, Based.
Investigators found messages on bullet casings Cox says investigators found a bolt action rifle wrapped in a dark towel and the gun had a scope mount on top of it. He notes there were inscriptions on bullet casings, including one which read: "Notices bulges owo". '. There were also inscriptions on three unfired casings, Cox explains. Cox says some of the inscriptions include: "Hey fascist! Catch!", "O Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao" and "if you read this you are gay lmao". ("Bella ciao" is an Italian song dedicated to the Italian resistance who fought against the occupying troops of Nazi Germany.)

This one is especially funny because Charlie Kirk wasn’t a politician and won nothing.
Sean Davis @seanmdav When Democrats lose elections they couldn't steal, they murder the people they were unable to defeat.

No, no, no, you misunderstand. He’s just waiting for his call up. He’s “on deck”.

Snake Island sounds fun too.

Also, glad to see one of the islands be named Senator Frank Patrick O’Connor Island, because what would a chain of islands be without one being named for the founder of Laura Secord Chocolates?

(Also the namesake of O’Connor Dr in East York)

Centre Island is the long large island that surrounds the rest but that’s not to be confused with Ward’s Island which is not actually just the East part of Centre Island.

Pardon? $400 MILLION?

• Targeted design and construction costs for the up to 3,500-spot parking structure are less than $400 million. The structure will include a large, landscaped berm along the north side to help blend the structure into the surrounding area.

Look at this stupid little bike rack I just made!
Two beautiful gravel bikes in a hobbled together, scrap wood bike rack in front of a raised planter I built on my lawn. The bikes are a blue Brodie Roam and a silver Marin Nicasio.

This photo is incredible. His puffer jacket with shorts. The high socks. The chrome e-bike.
Screenshot of an Instagram post by @streetsoftoronto. It shows Arnie riding a bike in Toronto with sunglasses on wearing a blue puffer jacket, black shorts and really high black socks so essentially only his knees are showing. He looks rad as hell

Here are the real answers.

www.straight.com/music/whats-...
A list with blurbs of Jagmeet Singh’s top three albums: Top three records Bob Marley Legends: Bought it in university and I played it all the time. My roommate liked heavy rock but sang "Redemption Song" at the dorm talent show and gave me a shout out. I love the positive messages like "Everything little thing gonna be alright." Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill: Miseducation came out while I was in university, and I thought it was so hopeful and meaningful. It helped me through a hard time when my dad was sick with an addiction and things were rough at home. Fateh, New Memories: This is one of the first albums my daughter Anhad has really enjoyed, because she understands the meaning of the Punjabi songs-especially his song "Aya Tenu Lehn", which means "I'm on the way to pick you up." He is also my friend.

Also, my favourite thing about conservatives is when they give away how uninformed they are with this:
"It's nice being in an environment where you can just say what you want and be who you are, and people aren't going to police you," said Beattie, who lists George Orwell's 1984 as among his favourite books.
