One of these two teams will be going home, and the other of the two will be tasked with scoring more runs than the Toronto Blue Jays

The boxscore for a winner-take-all playoff baseball game that is tied 2-2 in the 15th – not a typo – the 15th inning. Also some salmon mascot characters are racing along the field but this isn’t about them

After several listens I've determined it's a French equivalent to Me Muero (or, since Me Muero released later, it's a Spanish Nuit Magique), a song you can be absolutely unaware of except to say "bro look what this song DOES to people"

I heard this song for the first time ever last week on a work trip—on a limited-time Francophone one-hit-wonders channel, as you do—and the way the songwriting keeps escalating its stakes is That Good Shit. Imagine being 15 and dumped in 1986 and THIS hits your radio www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZhV...

I figure the one-in-100-Canadians person in this sample size whose most commonly-used curse is "chalice of Christ" has just gotta be a fascinating kinda character. Runs a sleepy little New Brunswick bed-and-breakfast and solves mysterious murders around town or something

The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
