I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Right-hander Dylan Cease and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a seven-year, $210 million contract, pending a physical, sources tell ESPN. The defending American League champions get one of the best arms on the free agent market.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

With Black Friday approaching, there will inevitably be well-intentioned talk that these deals are only possible because workers are denied a livable wage.
Don't buy into this. It's not low prices vs. fair pay. It's the demand for ever-higher profits and shareholder returns that forces deprivation.

Definitely not reading too much into this. Not me, no way.
#BlueJays announce they've placed LHP Easton Lucas on unconditional release waivers.
The 40-man roster will be at 37.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

It's super handy that Nick Cave's whole deal has gotten worse at the same rate his music has become more and more unlistenable

Obviously I agree with this but I also think that by continuing to throw trans people under the bus, Democrats/Liberals/centrists are sticking to their principles.
I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

I think this is mostly correct. I'd flip Return and Last, and Sith and Awakens. Otherwise, solid list. Dude knows ball.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

I saw Jimmy Cliff in the middle of the afternoon at Osheaga in 2010. They put him on the main stage for a bunch of disinterested hipsters and he absolutely crushed. I will never forget that performance. RIP to a king.

Insane in-arena entertainment in Atlanta. They asked a lady to name as many phone apps as she could in 24 seconds and she just rattled off names of restaurants. Then they showed a video of nikeil Alexander Walker doing the same thing and the first apps he said were messages, notes and “settings”

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Spurs are bad. So we'd lose this game no matter who our manager was. But at least with Ange we'd lose in a fun way instead of this coward football shit.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I said a few weeks ago that if you were still on Twitter, I didn't think less of you, I just thought you were stupid. I take it back, if you're still actively on Twitter, I do think less of you. What are you gaining if you're not a Nazi or a rube? You can lose your follower count, it's okay.
