If schedule holds, these 3 giant rockets will launch in the next 3 weeks.
From left to right:
New Glenn - satellite launch now, planned for the Moon
Starship - test flight 12 now, planned for the Moon
Artemis - to the Moon and back with 4 crew aboard
Pushing the very edge of our capability as we learn how to more safely & cheaply reach space, to explore all that exists beyond.

The most Canucks result possible is this:

-Canucks drop from 1st to 3rd in the lottery
-McKenna and Stenberg drafted 1st and 2nd, become stars
-Canucks reach for a centre instead of taking Verhoeff with 3rd pick
-Centre has an ok career as a 3C. Verhoeff becomes a Hall of Famer for someone else.

@newheightshow @JasonKelce @tkelce Wow. What a disappointing comment.

[Keegan Matheson @KeeganMatheson]

The most important defensive play of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s life gets the #BlueJays out of an inning that could have been much, much worse.

The bullpen door needs to swing open for the 5th.

Stop Believing the Lies About California’s Wildfires and Water Issues

So many people simply don’t understand what’s actually happening in California. The blame game, especially targeting Governor Gavin Newsom, has become a favorite pastime for Republicans and social media opportunists. The arguments they push don’t hold up to facts. Here’s the reality:

- Water Management: The Delta Smelt Myth

One of the most repeated (and baseless) claims is that maintaining river flows to protect endangered species like the delta smelt in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is causing water shortages in Los Angeles.
This is flat-out false. LA’s water comes from sources like the Colorado River, local groundwater, and major reservoirs such as Castaic Lake, not the Delta.

Reservoir levels remain healthy. As of January 7, 2025, Shasta Lake and Lake Oroville were at 78% and 71% capacity, both above historical averages. Castaic Lake, a major supplier for LA, is over 70% full.

Blaming environmental protections for water shortages is not just misleading—it’s a distraction from the real issues like aging infrastructure in the city of LA and increased urban demand.

- Forest Management: Misplaced Responsibility

Another favorite talking point is that California’s wildfire crisis is somehow Newsom’s fault due to "poor forest management." But here’s the truth:

California has 33 million acres of forest, and the state only manages 3% of that land. The federal government controls 57%, and the remaining 40% is privately owned.

While Newsom has invested heavily in fire prevention programs and strict regulations for private landowners, the federal government has primary responsibility for most of California’s forests. (the same federal government that saw many devastating wildfires under President Trump). Federal funding for proactive forest management is not where it needs to be. Blame Congress.

Ironically, it’s often Republicans who oppose the very state regulations designed to improve fire prevention on private lands, calling them "overregulation."

@calgarytransit Gates at 162 Ave haven't opened for 15 minutes

@RobFai Not with Don Mattingly on the staff still. Blue Jays have gotten worse offensively during his tenure.

[Matt Maclellan @maclellanmatt]

@DownToBlack Interestingly, Don Mattingly was hired as the bench coach November 2022, and is now the offensive coordinator. Hitting coach hasn't changed over this time. 🤔
