This is just baloney. Hamilton’s race was lost when, on a faster fresh set of softs the team *held him behind Leclerc*. Had Hamilton scampered up the track at that time, he’d have made enough headway to hold position late in the race. www.autosport.com/f1/news/ferr... #F1 #SingaporeGP

I’m really starting to wonder about seasonal vaccines in #NovaScotia. It’s the end of September, there’s nothing posted online, and about 1/3 of the people I know in #HRM are currently sick. www.nshealth.ca/public-healt...

The thing about Vladdy is this: He’s only 27 years old. He’s just had the worst season of his professional career - an event for which he was completely unprepared. I’d guess he’s deep in the throes of self-doubt and questioning his worth. Given all of that, cut the guy some slack. #BlueJays

I’m glad the #BlueJays are eliminated from post-season. They had no chance against the teams that are in. Put all the injured guys on the IL. Bring up guys from Buffalo and below. Rest the veterans. Have fun with some rookies.

Nothing happened. I had high hopes for Madring with that sweeping 270 degree banked corner. Turns out it was just a walled circuit with a 270 degree banked corner that absolutely no one used to their advantage. #SpanishGP #F1

Almost at the 1/2 way point in the #SpanishGP. The F2 race had a lot of passing and aggressive racing. This F1 race is frighteningly close to Monaco-esque parade of expensive cars. Not sure if it’s a driver issue or a track issue. Hoping for more in the 2nd half #F1

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

Remembering Dolly: I was at this 2008 celebration in Chattanooga when Dolly received her National Medal of the Arts. She was so humble and kind, & you knew the work she was doing meant everything to her. Her contribution to childhood literacy is incalculable & her contribution to music unmatched.

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10
Political cartoon criticizing the Republican platform for favoring untaxed whiskey (jug labeled "Untaxed Whiskey 20¢ Gal.") while presenting war‑taxed common cloth with an 89% tariff, highlighting perceived hypocrisy.

Carney was a mistake. The platform was made of whole cloth. But Poilievre clearly would have been far worse. And Singh had no path to victory. So what’s a Canadian voter to do? No effing idea.

I’m watching the #BlueJays v Red Socks tonight. I prepped by watching 45 minutes of YouTube consisting of reunited families and celebs surprising fans so I think I’m emotionally safeguarded. So far the Jays loaded the bases and scored 0 runs. First Boston batter homers. May not have prepped enough.
