get em, Jeff.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 9h

thank you.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 10h

not just me with a racing heart?

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 10h

gotcha. so the lead after 5 IP only counts for starters? i thought it was at the official scorekeeper's discretion in this situation.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 10h

who do you reckon is the Jays pitcher of record at this point? Lauer?

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 13h

it's a pretty shitty way to treat a dog, and i'm not sure what is gained by making light of it.

defund the VPD, right?

Star Wars 'right?' meme. panel one Anakin labeled Ken Sim. Text reads "$0 tax increase in '26 = $100m in service cuts." In the second panel Padme, labeled Vancouver residents, with text reading "defund the VPD, right?" Anakin doesn't respond on panel three, and Padme restates "defund the VPD, right?"

geez, Schneider could put Lukes in RF and Straw in LF. i hope this is just a move for early offense, and as soon as the lead is established, sub in the gloves.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

we elected pure, distilled, neoliberalism.
now we reap what the voters sowed.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 1d

that Barger play wasn't great, but the Yankees have also given the Jays some slack - thinking of the Davis Schneider run when the ball came into 2B, for example.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 1d

ok, how 'bout now?

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 1d

how we feelin', Blue Jays fans?

Davis Schneider's ball there.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 1d

it feels a little mean, but that's probably just a silly Canadianism.
crush 'em, guys.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 1d

they're scoring so much that i almost feel that sickened feeling one gets after eating too much fattening food.

Mike McCulloch 🇨🇦 @vancitymike.com · 1d

The great thing about political donations in Canada is that you get something like 75% of them back on your taxes.

Unless you donate to a candidate who hasn’t even applied to run yet, let alone been approved. In those cases, you get nothing back.

I sure hope Engler’s been making that clear.

Rachel Gilmore @rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 2d

YVES ENGLER HASNT EVEN APPLIED TO RUN FOR NDP LEADERSHIP???????????

And he’s been accepting donations while implying he applied but hasn’t been approved yet???

Omg 🤦‍♀️
