Deep cut: a 1999 Nick Jr. TV show (that lasted for one year) was the biggest culprit of this phenomenon, wherein a humanoid mouse was friends with a duck, but visited a farm and rode a horse, pet rabbits, and milked a cow.

I wrote a free article about how some kids' shows humanize certain animals while retaining others' animal status and how it drives me bonkers. Link in replies.

@bencasnocha One relatively difficult question is whether it is “thirty minutes or less” or “thirty minutes or fewer”.
English
Some people go their whole life without learning the difference between “less” and “fewer”

Watching MAGA suddenly become enthusiastic imperialists the moment Trump decides to go all Teddy Roosevelt, a question occurs to me: What could Trump endorse that MAGA would NOT immediately cheer and embrace?

Please take a moment to remember former Montreal Expos and Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/1B Ron Fairly who died six years ago today at age 87.
He passed away in 2019.
He is the only player to be named to the All-Star Game as both an Expo (1973) and Blue Jay (1977).

@colbycosh But the two hits to the outfield in the first would have been HR’s without outfielders.

I like Jon's idea for a "How Many Fielders Needed" index

Blue Jays losing 1-0, but Yesavage, in his first MLB start, has struck out *8* in 4 innings …. The other 4 outs all grounders to SS. So the Jays could have had four men on the field (1,2,3,6) and achieved the same result. This is a guy who started the season at single A ball

@MikePMoffatt The one problem is that they don’t have line scores.

@NeedlesOnNews How does a police administrative assistant earn almost $329,000?

@MattBrownLdn Has anyone studied what it would cost for a dedicated track from Windsor to Toronto?
English
High speed is less important than: predictable, convenient and affordable with priority over freight. A dedicated track with conventional service that allows trains to travel without interruption & at top speed would be a game changer. Cost less and finished sooner…even better.
Chris Bentley@Chris_Bentley
Respectfully, a dedicated track ( faster, not high speed) would be far less expensive, easier and quicker to build, and accomplish the same goal. It might even help some of those in the highest density traffic corridor in Canada: Oshawa/Toronto/KW/London/Windsor.

Evans was also phenomenal in the 1975 World Series. Probably the most underrated player in my lifetime.

@colbycosh The first two albums are not quite as good as Master of Puppets and Appetite for Destruction, but they’re close, and still sound great today.

He landed in metal, but in truth he may have belonged to the tribe of really great punk-rock frontmen. There's nothing quite like early Maiden.
Iron Maiden@IronMaiden
Monday 21st October 2024 We are all deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Paul Di'Anno earlier today. Paul's contribution to Iron Maiden was immense and helped set us on the path we have been travelling as a band for almost five decades. His pioneering presence as a frontman and vocalist, both on stage and on our first two albums, will be very fondly remembered not just by us, but by fans around the world. “It’s just so sad he’s gone,” comments Steve Harris. “I was in touch with him only recently as we texted each other about West Ham and their ups and downs. At least he was still gigging until recently, it was something that kept him going, to be out there whenever he could. He will be missed by us all. Rest in peace mate ⚒⚒.” We were very grateful to have had the chance to catch up a couple of years ago and to spend time with him once more. On behalf of the band, Rod and Andy, and the whole Iron Maiden team, we extend our deepest sympathies to Paul's family and close friends. Rest In Peace Paul.

Arrested Development is maybe the densest comedy ever. The joke-per-minute rate is astonishing.
GOB’s genius “typical” here is barely even audible.

@brian_bancroft @LeoSpalteholz This is a good point. Can municipalities plan for infrastructure if they don’t know population growth in any areas?
English
@LeoSpalteholz My only concern/thought is how does one effectively do infra under such circumstances. It’s the pipes. How do you set things up so that munis don’t go bankrupt from having to go from servicing n families a block to 10n.
The current system isn’t working well either.

Did you know our #airport is an amazing option for filming #travel scenes? It has been used several times for major TV and film productions! @filmlondonon #ldnont #yxu
📽️Last year, we were a secret filming location for these 2 movies, can you name them?

@CamdenHutchison @Noahpinion I grew up (in Ottawa) saying “soft drinks”. That seems to have declined.

Actually never really twigged to the excellent cartel synergy between the NHL/Leafs and Lactosa Nostra.

Are you ready for some football?
