Seem to have a lot of new followers, so here’s what to expect from me:

Jays ALCS roster has no Bo Bichette, no changes on hitter side.

Scherzer and Bassitt are on, Bruihl and Nance are off.

She had just started her acting career when she landed the role of Kay in Godfather. Pacino said he had to step his performance up going against her in Godfather 2. And then she all but invented the pixie dream girl in Annie Hall. All in a span of 5 years! That alone puts her in Hall of Fame.

RIP.

One of the things that strikes me on visiting the US is how antiquated the banking is, in a lot of ways. No, I don’t have a Venmo, if I want to transfer money to someone electronically I use my banking app. I have no idea when I last used my cheque book. Why are you taking my card? I need to sign!?

“Much of what we think of as innovation in the US is just private duct tape applied to the country’s uniquely bad payments system. Stablecoins, for example, offer a way to transfer something like a dollar from one place to another, without a bank.” Great stuff from @bhgreeley.bsky.social

I need a team task where she and Reece can fulfill their destiny of becoming The Rage Twins

Mark Carney sold himself as a pro-sovereignty, transformational leader, but he has acted like a defender of a status quo based on confined dependence on a Trumpist United States.
In any case, that’s not what Canadians voted for. But I’m not sure that Carney cares about that small point.
