September is #FASD awareness month & I'd like help you understand the disability. Let's start with the most basic question:

What is FASD?

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong disability affecting the brain & body of individuals with prenatal exposure to alcohol

I don't know but I question it

For example, The Blue Jays are up 2-0 after two innings and they are 76% probability of winning

Please show me a Blue Jays fan anywhere who will state with 76% confidence that the Jays have this game won

So The #Chargers with their injuries still can't beat a good team and I'm going to have to hear about Denver's big comeback for the next week

The silver lining.....

Oronde Gadsden II may be that stud tight end we're looking for #BoltUp

To put the current state of the #Chargers into perspective, we barely beat these guys last week #BoltUp

Video store in a film
Captain Marvel (2019)

The director establishes that we're in the 1990s with the subtlety of a mallet across the viewers face by having her crash into a Blockbuster video....mm

Define "perfect ending"

Boo-erg on a Wire @bergonawire.bsky.social · 1d

It's a great straight up comedy. I wouldn't say there's any "horror" in it. There's nothing scary, or suspenseful or gross

You're outta here Back to the Future 2!

(For the record, BTTF 3 is cool. It can stay)

Welp

Another quality Gausman start wasted

The good news The Jays need to win 2 in a row at home and that is very doable

I knew 2-1 wouldn't hold🥴

Someone sentenced in a film
Duck Soup (1933)

"Gentlemen of the jury, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot, but don't let that fool you- he really is an idiot

I suggest we give him 10 years in Leavenworth or 11 years in Twelveworth"

YEAH! MAD MAX BABY!!

Boo-erg on a Wire @bergonawire.bsky.social · 3d

We just need one more good start from you Max. Pull it together and give us 5-6 solid innings and you can walk off into the sunset

(Unless The Jays make the series in which case we may need one more)

The Blue Jays will start Max Scherzer in Game 4 of the ALCS.
