I think it was a mistake for the LA Dodgers to put that big glowing weak point that says "bullpen" on their fucked-up kaiju boss body

Alex spots a baseball player and in disbelief, she clasps her hands to the sides of her face and says "WOW! Trey Yesavage! You're my hero!" Trey Yesavage points to himself with this thumb and nonchalantly states "I was born after 9/11. Alex's face rapidly ages, melting into a heap of loose skin and wrinkles. John Schneider grabs Yesaage by the shoulder and says "Kid, you gotta stop introducing yourself to people that way."

I missed this at the time, bad faith response and the victim blaming is fucking gross, but gotta love the idea that the city won't build guardrails ever again and that people that don't wear their seatbelts just get what's coming to them.

In Regina, Darke Hall is a prestigious performance hall that is home to the Regina Symphony Orchestra. It has seen several great artists perform there. The person for whom the building is named seems to want to stay there even after death.
This is the story.

There were more buildings in Toronto I thought were neat but I didn't get great photos of them, so ending on this one of the CN tower peeking out from behind the Sheraton.

Panel 1: Shen is stoically holding up a sign with his right hand that says "W O R C E S T E R" on it.

Panel 2: A man clearly from Boston, in a black Red Sox cap and Bruins jersey and holding a Market Basket bag slung over his shoulder, says "WOOSTER!" Under the cap, he has messy brown hair, and is smiling innocently.

Panel 3: Shen, still stoic, now holds up a picture of a rooster with both hands.

Panel 4: The man from Boston smile lights up, sparkles in his eyes, and says "ROOCHESTER!!!"

Council has been meeting for SIX hours! You know, the agenda this morning had a SINGLE item of substance on it. What the hell are they doing in there??

I thought this was the New Efficiency Crew. I thought they were going to get work done. Not chase their tails for hours every week. #yqrcc

Regardless, they'd been through all this before. So to come into today's report on Taylor Field like they'd never heard about the project before then proceed to squander TWO HOURS of staff's time (and mine) asking questions they should know the answers to was fucking ridiculous. #yqrcc /3

Buildings I saw in Toronto and thought were neat #2: The Sheraton across from City Hall, especially the podium that steps out over the sidewalk with each floor. Bonus HBC plaque with googly-eyes a block down the road.

And yet, like I say, the way it has come back is as a line item in the budget. And despite all the Budget Hawks pouring over every line trying to find ways to save bucks (by cutting buses & sidewalks), none of them caught the baseball stadium listed as a new project. #yqrcc

Shaun Semple insisted a lease at Regina’s exhibition grounds was not a deal.

CBC had obtained a copy of the document.

It shows REAL could potentially miss out on tens of millions of dollars in rent over the course of the 90-year lease.

How the push for REAL profitability led to Shaun Semple's 90-year lease | CBC News

The deal will see Regina's exhibition association, a cash-strapped municipal corporation, miss out on potentially tens of millions of dollars in rent over the course of the 90-year lease.
