reminded of the time I went to the J-Town in the suburbs of Toronto, and they had Itōen ads featuring Ohtani plastered everywhere, except someone had pasted paper cutouts of Jays caps on all of them
Screenshot of a baseball Subreddit thread. Dodgers fan elementus: Shohei Ohtani is on the plane to Toronto. Frequent_Thanks583: The prophecy has come real. Guardians fan Uuuuuuuuuuu11: They didn’t have to pay Ohtani. He really did want to go to Toronto. Mariners fan meander_o: I chuckled at this. After a shitty night, thanks for the laugh.

cannot stress enough how utterly asinine and childish this shit is
Screenshot of the front page of The Guardian digital app. The headline of the top news item reads, “Trump ‘very frustrated’ with Zelenskyy for allegedly failing to ‘take opportunity’ of US-brokered peace.” The subtitle reads, “US national security adviser claims Ukrainian president has failed ‘come to the table’ _despite not being invited_ [emphasis mine] to Russia–US talks this week.”
