It was a magical ride with all of you.

Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

Sending love to all #BlueJays fans tonight. Probably one of the greatest #WorldSeries ever… and we’ll forever be heartbroken. 💔

Gonna sting for a while, but we can be proud of this team and the incredible run.

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔

Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world.

Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy.

Now go re-sign Bo.

Shattered.

But the #BlueJays are one hell of a team.

Thanks for a hell of a ride, gentlemen.

As a fan of baseball, I couldn’t have asked for a better series. The Blue Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers both left it all on the field. It came down to a game seven, in extra innings.

No one deserves to starve.

We have enough food to feed everyone, but we have a serious problem with wealth inequality.

We must stop viewing those who are disabled and/or poor as moral failures and start recognizing the system is rigged against us.

It’s rigged against everyone but the 1%

A freak play appropriate for #Halloween. Freaky Friday for the #BlueJays. The #Dodgers strike back in Game 6.
The #WorldSeries is now a best-of-1.
Game 7 decides who gets all the chocolates on Saturday.

This Series will now go at least 72 innings. The previous record for a modern Series (s 1947) was 1991, when Atlanta and the Twins played 69.

Love the Jays manager & players in the interviews after that tough ending. Zero negativity, page immediately turned, confident and joyous even about playing a huge Game 7 at home.

“Two best words in sports. Game 7.”

Get it tomorrow, boys. The whole country is behind you.

The Dodger may have given us a fright on Halloween night, but we have the heart and drive to persevere. Let’s go Toronto!

All settled in for an evening of charcuterie and September baseball.

Doesn’t get much better.

Speechless after watching the #NationalTheatreLive production of #InterAlia.

A powerful piece with a masterful performance by Rosamund Pike.

I saw this via "National Theatre Live" and it really is very good, an absolute tour do force from Pike for whom it's almost a monologue.

The advantage to trains running every five minutes: it’s both easy and relatively convenient to get off and wait for the next one to avoid obnoxious passengers who would otherwise ruin your mood and your day.
