To answer your question, most sane Americans who don’t live in LA would enjoy a Jays win.
I live in Southern California and nothing would make me happier than the Jays winning this thing!
GO JAYS!!!
GO CANADA!!!

I wonder if most Canadian Blue Jays fans know how important it is for a *lot* of us Americans that their team win?

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Saw a game at ultimate frisbee club nationals and the underdog team had a thrilling comeback and won on a "Universe" (game) point after a number of great plays to be in that position.
Oh, and I was with my adult son.

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

This absolutely unhinged quote from the president of the United States is in the 19th paragraph in this article. Barely remarkable! But also just astonishing.

"Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war," the president told reporters at the White House on Thursday. "I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country, OK? We're going to kill them, you know? They are going to be, like, dead."

I realized it earlier this week when my 88 year old mother mentioned that they will NEVER release the Epstein files.
That was the hammer over my head.
Of course they won’t.
Ever.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
