Justin Verlander: I want a final start and a few retirement celebrations with my family and my teammates wearing silly tshirts of my insta pics then everyone cries Max Scherzer: you will drag my lifeless body off the mound after I’ve bitten the manager & punched the pitching coach

Scherzer is going to throw 270 pitches tomorrow and rip off both of John Schneider's arms so he can't signal to the bullpen before he gets 11 strikeouts

Josh Hamilton beat up his daughter (felony charge/misdemeanor plea deal) but, sure, invite him to entertain a stadium full of kids. This is a very bad look in Bananaland.

There‘s much to appreciate in Mamdani, but his insistence that culture isn’t a privilege of the rich is one of his strengths.It is reminiscent of how unions and the government treated it in the 1930s -art for the masses - paintings, music, opera, theater - democracy for all.

The great @graphicmatt.com takes up Bradford's budget challenge and finds, to the surprise of no one who's paid attention to City Hall for the past 15 years, a lot of hot air. Bradford may win using stuff like this, but it's dishonest and his "line-by-line budget review" will bust. Then what?

While we're on the topic: no, the temporary resident boom of the early 2020s was not the result of bleeding-heart open-border lefty policy. It was fly-by-night for-profit "colleges" operating out of strip malls taking inflated tuition from foreigners as a backdoor to Canada. It was naked capitalism

The changes to the Canada Labour Code in this new bill are “without precedent in Canadian law and they’re without precedent even amongst our trading partners in the G7.” “It provides the complete and unlimited discretion to the federal minister to decide who gets to go on strike and who does not.”

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

IMO, some of the criticism of Carney feels a bit overblown/a reaction Liberals going back to being centrist neolibs after Trudeau moved them leftward. That being said, all the criticism of the rumoured changes to labour laws seems totally valid. Taking advantage of a crisis to take a swing at unions
