Sorry, but if you don’t think the truest rival for the Jays isn’t the Texas Rangers, then I don’t even know what we’re doing here.

So WEIRD that in fact, for several years, doctors did NOT need to know how to treat measles because measles had been eliminated!

If I was a politician who lost a seat in this election and I had a sheet cake available to me, I would simply hide myself away for a week and eat all of it.

I gotta get away from social media and the election results for a bit, so I’m gonna go for a late night walk, but I kind of think that if advanced polls haven’t been counted, things could drastically change given how large advanced voter turnout was.

Elections Canada says that no polling locations in Ontario will be open past the scheduled 9:30 p.m. closure time. But voters who are in line before 9:30 will be able to vote regardless of how long the line is. www.thestar.com/rolling-file...

Fun fact: I’ve had a recurring dream that I ignored an entire semester’s worth of lectures and assignments SO OFTEN that I almost convinced myself that I failed a class, even though I KNOW that isn’t true. Also, the last time I was in school was almost 25 years ago. Thanks brain.

I saw Sinners last night and thought — while watching it — that it will be revered as a classic. The last time I felt that way was while watching Get Out. And before that, Mad Max: Fury Road. So my track record on these things is great and you should see it. It slaps.

Went to the doctor Monday, didn’t realize I had no refills on a prescription I take daily, so I didn’t ask. Went to the pharmacy IN THE CLINIC to pick up the prescription I had asked to be refilled online two days earlier, they tell me this, then say there’s a fee for renewals outside appointments.

Can’t get over what an insane take this is. You’re fired because AI can do your job faster and we don’t need to worry about how it feels. Followed by: You OK, Mr. Robot? Need anything? A day off? Health care? How’s your mental wellbeing? Fuck all the way off. Does the NYT ever NOT accept a pitch?
