Yankees literally did the same thing to the Griffeys as well which is why Griffey JR famously said he'd never sign with the Yankees.

Vladdy admits why he dislikes the Yankees in a 2023 interview: "When a team humiliates you, the Lord grants you the ability to humiliate them

“It was me who was removed from the stadium, I was 7 or 8 years old, so I was like okay... Now when I arrive you're going to feel my presence in the Bronx."

No matter what happens in the ALCS, one thing they can never take from us is the Blue Jays fully co-opting the song New York, New York.

Those opening notes, forever linked with “Daaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees lose!”

It’s ours now.

The number of Americans who are just utterly incapable of understanding that we as a people actively distrust and dislike their country now, and aren't just avoiding them because of government tariffs is bananas...

Like even most of my american friends need to be walked through the idea to get it

Once again, it's not just the tariffs. If the tariffs ended tomorrow and Jack Daniel's showed back up on Canadian shelves, there'd be no pent-up demand for it. We're talking about a full-blown cultural/consumer shift.

it has the usual reddit problems but it does serve as a great way to start training your brain to recognize the things AI likes to fuck up. for instance, it's gotten better at hands but will still fuck up background patterns and give people irises that aren't perfectly round

I really recommend browsing a reddit called "Is this AI?" for this purpose. people post questionable images and commenters weigh in on their validity, but are required to provide specifics as to their reasoning. once you start seeing the signs, it gets easier and easier over time

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

I feel like that game is gonna be a plot point in the next season of Greys Anatomy: the staff at Seattle Grace is all doing their best to stay locked in on the ballgame in what seems like a quiet night before they get overwhelmed by fans having cardiac events(yet still demanding to have the game on)

Amongst the many things this game is, it is a reminder of what Rob Manfred took from us with the Manfred Man.

My current operating theory is that someone must’ve hired an Etsy witch on behalf of the Tigers and they and the Mariners’ Etsy witch are just doing dueling hexes on each other and therefore we are going to be watching this game until the heat death of the universe.

This is part of why I like the regular season extra runner because .. in theory, extra inning games that go on very long sounds fun, but in practice, they all just start to look like *this.*
