The guys heard #BlueJays50 at the start of the season...and took it literally 😳

Horrid defending from 3rd string CB aside and missing five starters, but good adversity game. Should have had many more but hopefully #canmnt shake off some of the complacency

GIMÉ SAYS GOODNIGHT 😴

Wait so every group but Canada's played in a dome for the preliminary round? Great competitive balance @MLB leading to the error that made the difference in the game.

Valiant effort. Svar for some horrendous strike calling early and late, this game ends different. Error on top of it pushes it out of reach, but what a performance

That's three inches off the plate. Are you blind?!

Once again, pitching has done its job. Those unearned runs looming large. Let's get the big boys back up for a shot at redemption

Need to play the perfect game and this isn't it. Ugh. Multiple missed strike calls not helping. If this ump called the zone they'd have no runs

Shambolic player management from Bayern could cost #canmnt dearly given Phonzie will only have two games over a year with the team before a home Word Cup. And these idiots had the gall to call out and threaten legal action over Canada Soccer's injury mgmt nytimes.com/athletic/71135…

There's being locked in and then there's what James Paxton just did today. What a show.

CANADA MAKES HISTORY AS THEY BOOK THEIR SPOT IN THE WBC QUARTERFINALS FOR THE FIRST TIME 🇨🇦

Just wow. Still remember the upset of the US in the first ever WBC in 2006. Figured that was the start of some great results on the world stage.... Only took 20 years 😀🇨🇦😀

Vintage Paxton. 96mph. Three Ks. Wow

Wasted opportunity. Unearned runs smh

Looks like a container ship in distress off the Jersey coast. Other ships in vicinity all steaming toward it

Lou Holtz has died at the age of 89, his family announced Wednesday. The legendary football coach and ESPN analyst led six college programs and won the 1988 national title at Notre Dame.

📸 Alphonso Davies back on the pitch today

I really want people to see the story above the story here, which is that whether you're reading Citrini, or listening to Jamie Dimon at a cocktial party, the conversation about AI is a marketplace of competing science fiction narratives. That's not to say I think the technology is a parlor trick. But rather that the level of uncertainty is so high, and the quality and supply of real-world, real-time information about AI's macroeconomic effects so paltry, that very serious conversations about AI are often more literary than genuinely analytical. And I think that observation sets up another important point: I feel lucky to be able to have conversations about the frontier of AI with executives and builders at frontier labs; economists at AI conferences; investors in AI; and other AI folks at off-the-record dinners where important truths can theoretically be shared without risk. I can't emphasize enough that "nobody knows anything" is about as close to the reality here as three words are going to get you. Nobody what's going to happen this year, or next year, or the year after that. There is no secret cigar-filled room of people who have unique access to some authentic postcard from the future. When you drill down underneath the bluster, the boosterism, the fear, the anxiety, what's there at the bottom is genuine uncertainty, a vacuum into which storytelling is flooding. The frontier labs don't really know what they're building exactly, and economists don't really know how to model the thing they claim they're building (genuine recursively self-improving AI agency isn't really analogous to something we know about). I wish more people talked about and thought about this subject thru that sort of lens: We're trying to model the economy-wide effects of a technology whose properties the frontier labs can't even really describe yet. Whatever you think about AI today, be prepared to change your mind soon.

Too many good quotes in here to highlight, but when the neutral UK press spends the time to write this, you know @IIHFHockey and @Olympics screwed up theguardian.com/sport/2026/feb…
