'We don't need you!': Toronto crowd taunts Ohtani in World Series opener

Shohei Ohtani spurned the Toronto Blue Jays in free agency two years ago in favour of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and in the World Series opener on Friday the home crowd let the Japanese standout know exactly how they felt about that decision.

Jane Goodall has died.
She devoted her life to advocacy on behalf of chimpanzees and, after living among them,shared valuable insight into their lives. She advocated too for the wellbeing of other primates and the environment

She has been a magnificent inspiration.
Thank you Jane Goodall ♥️🙏🏽♥️

On this day in 1952, Neil Peart was born in Hamilton.
The drummer and main lyricist for Rush, he was known as The Professor for his technical proficiency as a drummer. He is often cited as one of, if not the greatest, drummer in rock history. He died in 2020.

Neil Peart, a renowned drummer with a focused expression, is captured in action behind an elaborate drum kit. He wears a black headband adorned with a subtle pattern and a black shirt, his arms raised as he grips drumsticks mid-performance. The drum set features multiple polished cymbals and intricately designed drums with metallic accents, reflecting the stage lights. The background is a blurred mix of teal and dark tones, suggesting a lively concert atmosphere with dim lighting and a hint of the audience or stage setup, emphasizing the intensity of the musical performance.

My favourite musician of all time, Leonard Bernstein, was born on 25 August 1918. An extraordinary combination of composer, educator and conductor, Bernstein was a genius who enriched the musical world across a range of genres. Above all he was an incredible communicator.

Six more days until Hangover Terrace
The kind of record I hope you'll cherish
It's got tons of tuneful melodies
Honest lyrics and a spoonful of tragedy
A buttload of instruments too
So I hope you'll listen all the way thru
Cos I'm so proud of these songs
So I hope you'll sing along! Yea! RS
