Excited to share a personal project I've been working on. I've heard the best thing you can do for your country in tough times is use the skills you have.

So I hope you'll subscribe, share and listen to Elbows Up, a podcast about how, exactly, Canada can be strong and free. Forever.

All the dollars I lost happily hedging against the Jays earlier this year are coming back to me and bringing friends and I honestly hate that. Might have to up the ante. Either we win the division or I make enough money to buy a Switch 2. Gotta go do some math.

Jordan Heath-Rawlings @jordanhr.bsky.social · Jul 24

I have to tell you folks. I enjoy emotional hedging as basically my only form of sports betting. And I’ve probably lost about $60-80 betting $3-5 against the Blue Jays every day since they got hot and it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.

A lovely tribute to Ken Dryden by Paul Wells. Very much worth your time today. open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...

Also, if you’ve never read The Game, now is the time to fix that.

Team player

Ken Dryden and politics were an uneasy fit, but we can still learn from him

I’ve never heard a crowd so dead silent during songs, not because they weren’t moved or didn’t like it, but because so many of them realized we were witnessing the Next Truly Great Band in real time.

Not that anyone asked but my brother was doing a Remember Concerts We’ve Been To thing in the group chat, and the more the years go by the more I realize this is probably the best and most historic show I’ll ever have attended:

Ooooh you’re much older than me, congrats. lol. But also Dryden is a great cheat code for this exercise, incredible career packed into just a decade!

If I’d only started to pay attention to the NFL one year earlier I’d have the same thing in Barry Sanders.

That’s a good one. My problem is that I don’t care about anything but baseball until 1991, and baseball players from those days played FOREVER!

I hope for a lot of things for this troubled world.

But also, I spend a lot of time hoping that I will live to see a day when I don’t have to give even a first thought, never mind a second, to people like the ones named in this post.

People currently fighting:

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laura Loomer.

Candace Owens/Milo Yiannopoulos vs. Nick Fuentes, with Elon Musk jumping in briefly to fan the flames.

Was talking with a friend about being old today and he raised a fun Q: can you remember who the first athlete was, that you watched their WHOLE career as a fan, who was elected to a hall of fame?

You have to actually remember them as a rookie.

I think my best is Griffey or Shaq, in 2016.

This might very well make me an old man, but my album of the year so far is a country album and it isn’t currently close. music.apple.com/ca/album/the...

I mean, I’m trying! I’m engaging, but scrolling this feed during live events is still pretty barren!

I’ll take any lists you have for me to improve it, because I’d MUCH rather be here

Jordan Heath-Rawlings @jordanhr.bsky.social · Aug 8

All this, sadly, is why I’m still there. And sports! Which despite a lot of great people’s best efforts, have not caught on here.

Jordan Heath-Rawlings @jordanhr.bsky.social · Aug 8

I see you’re a vikes fan so I should tell you JJ was right there too.

I was between him and Love and I honestly probably like Love a little better but in best ball the stack was obvious upside.

Here’s a good Bluesky sports test. Anyone have thoughts on this 12 team SF best ball draft that I started from the 1.1 and think I like the most of all my teams through five rounds? This is a really entertaining build, with potential!

We’re taking a break and revamping it a bit to focus a little more on just Canada and not… the other guys. But we’ll be back in September!

That was an absolutely incredible tennis match. So glad I took the time to watch it.

Jordan Heath-Rawlings @jordanhr.bsky.social · Aug 5

It really sucks that sports hasn’t taken off on here. Because I can’t justify, for the sake of my mental health, logging onto the Politics App at 9 pm. See y’all tomorrow.

They’re not cheap, $4-$5.50 per I’d say. But they’re great and I’m on vacation.

Jordan Heath-Rawlings @jordanhr.bsky.social · Jul 29

I compare it to the “craft” beer section at any Ontario grocery or convenience store or even smaller LCBO and it’s incredible. They also have a fridge with all your typical 12s and 24s. But I could have purchased 15+ local (really local!), small brewery beers easily. At a small-town grocery store!

Good for Bo. Great job, Bo. Go get some pitching now Ross.

Jordan Heath-Rawlings @jordanhr.bsky.social · Jul 29

I will put the microbreweries in the Eastern Townships up against any area in the country. This was a quick stop at a random grocery store just to see what they had that I hadn’t tried last year. Ridiculous. These are all from various small towns within 20 mins from here.
