Vladimir Guerrero Jr on when a players wife taunted him with “Da Bluejays Lose”
(Translated by Master Flip)
I still remember that moment during the Seattle series. As I was walking past a group of family members, one of the women yelled right next to me, loud and proud: “Da Blue Jays lose!” They were up 3-2 in the series at the time, cocky as hell. All I could think was, Winners get to have the fun.
I had my headphones on, pretending to listen to music, I wasn’t actually playing anything, just trying to stay in my own head. She said it so boldly, right there beside me, “Da Bluejays Lose” and the group erupted in cheers behind her. I even knew exactly who she was and whose wife she was.
I was walking with Giménez at the time. I leaned over and told him quietly, They don’t know they’re heading into the Valley of Death.

Early review by of the new Eglinton Subway:
Trains run well but not nearly frequently enough (typing this while waiting 15 mins at Eglinton at 6:45 pm). Stations are freezing. PA system incessant and scratchy. So let’s just say room for improvement. @TTChelps
You cannot argue with MAGA. They demand evidence, then call your sources biased. You provide primary sources, they claim they're doctored. You show them video, they say it's out of context. You give them context, they say you're cherry-picking. This isn't debate. This is a systematic refusal to allow reality to intrude on mythology. You're not arguing facts. You're arguing whether facts exist.
Look I get blaming Miller and Noem. But blaming them and stopping short of blaming Trump is fucking insane. Trump incited an insurrection, admires Hitler, and launched his political career on a racist lie about our country’s first Black President. What the fuck did you expect?
Takes like this are classic, "I'm normally a piece of shit. But when it becomes clear that I've sided with people who are clearly 100% wrong, I make a cowardly retreat into 'both sides.'"
When Charlie Kirk was killed MAGA reacted like no one had ever died before, let alone at the hands of a disaffected young white man raised in a conservative home, as Kirk’s assailant had been. They wanted the world to stop and then they turned into a branding event and grifting operation. When someone is murdered by ICE as 3 Americans have been since the New Year began they immediately disparage the victim. Trump is among the most heartless iterations of a fascist bogeyman this world has known and he is just getting started unless you stop him soon.
In the year 2026 if you're still talking about how Democrats haven't earned your vote rather than how Republicans have earned your absolute opposition, your soul is an empty pit and your brain is a yawning chasm
When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.
The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.
They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.
Not because it helped them.
But because they were told it would hurt someone else.
And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.
