I'm a Jays fan since the late '80s and this is very fun... But I HATE the auto-walk. Make the pitcher walk that bastard, and then pitch strikes. Watching catchers chase what were supposed to be simple balls was always hilarious.

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

I know it looks like the steering wheel from a 2008 Subaru, but this is actually a 5000 year old artifact found in a First Dynasty mastaba tomb attributed to a high official named Sabu.
It is apparently carved from a single piece of siltstone or slate.
And we don't know what it was FOR.

I am late to the party, but Clair Obscur Expédition 33 is easily the best game this year. I cried during the intro, the Act 1 finale,and the Act 2 finale. Then 2 hours later,my world fell apart once more.

Kind of reminds me of the National Post article about PM Carney demanding that his Ministers and staff show up on time and double checks their work as a bad thing... Like, do your job competently?
(also love that minister autocowrecked to monster before I caught it)

Man if you don’t want the job fuckin quit.
Fetterman tells the NYT that doing committee work and casting floor votes is “performative” and that he is resentful to have been “shamed” into returning to the Senate to do these things after routinely skipping them all year.

I cannot wait to make my own once spring starts here... We have so many tiny 'weed' flowers!
The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.
When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.
Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

Sidenote: A couple of months ago, there was a lot of "well, how long can Canadians keep this up" and apparently FOR LIFE BITCHES is the general theme.

I am an extreme introvert. But, I just heard a phrase that applies to me: It's so more likely that you will build a community than become a billionaire.
Push through and find your community.

The one saving grace of the whole annexation of Canada and tariffs thing, is that Trump is a two(?) trick-pony North of the border.
There is no gish gallop here.
He's distracting the US from his (horrendous) breach of international security, with a (horrendous) EO targeting voters.
