My favourite scene in this film.

All The Right Movies@ATRightMovies

In INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, Michael Fassbender said Tarantino was obsessed with getting the three fingers detail right. In Germany, ordering with the index–middle–ring fingers instead of the thumb–index–middle is the kind of slip that could expose a spy.

Doug Ford knows that it's the MARKET that drives up ticket prices, not the resellers, right? I've been buying sports tickets direct from teams/venues AND from resellers ALL MY LIFE. If I can't afford a ticket, I don't go. THAT is how FREE MARKET works.

@JillMScott @MikePMoffatt @acoyne 24-year-olds have not bought their first house since before 1960! Thats 66 years! What ate you even talking about at this point? And you never said: How many 15- to 18-yo do you know who EVER bought a house?

@GLaysonANC @MikePMoffatt @acoyne Yes you were 30. Not 15 to 24.

New World Happiness Report is out. Canada's rank has fallen to 25th overall (from 6th in 2013). More alarmingly, we're now 71st in happiness for 15-24 year olds. Anglo-American countries score particularly poorly on youth happiness, but Canada is particularly struggling.

@JillMScott @MikePMoffatt @acoyne Also, the average age of a first-time home-buyer in 1960 was 24-26. So, yeah, there's that. It was 29 in 1970 and 1980. And "between 30 and 32" in 1990. So, anyway, nice try.

@JillMScott @MikePMoffatt @acoyne How many 15- 18-year-olds do you know who EVER bought homes. lol

To me, it appears Bregman wants to be as short as possible for the upcoming ABS challenges. And he was previously probably trying to seem as big as possible, out of ego. Or early, for draft status/draft stock.

@JillMScott @MikePMoffatt @acoyne Weird. I was 30 in '07 and we bought our 1st home. With our own down payment. As a cub sports reporter. In Guelph. My wife worked part time. It was affordable when we bought. And then in '11 bought our 2nd (for less!) in Windsor. So, you're wrong. Wonder what happened '15-'25?

Jill Scott@JillMScott·1d

@GLaysonANC @MikePMoffatt @acoyne Except no 15 to 24 year old in the last 50 years of history has ever been able to buy a home. The problem is their expectations are unrealistic.

When I made this playlist, I simply called it Ballads. Upon further listening, I should have called it: Grade 8 Dance Slow Songs lol open.spotify.com/playlist/5tKyK…

@rupasubramanya I guess you didn't hear the part where he said "I think we'll get there eventually."

Last month, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani said that after meeting JD Vance and other senior officials, he saw "across the board optimism," about moving trade talks forward. That’s hard to square with his friend Vance now throwing what looks like a "hissy fit," at Canada.

Good thing the same party that led us to this point is still in charge.

AND ... on SECOND viewing, I noticed Perez give Harper — and the US celebration — the respectable nod, basically saying "yeah, nice hit. You earned it."

English

Greg Layson@GLaysonANC·3d

Bryce Harper is so damn good. And, love the clean, pushing-the-envelop emotion. BUT the coach in me watches Salvador Perez. Watch at the end has he basically tells his teammates: Move on. The moment's over. The game is not.

The Bryce Harper homer last night is a home run every young ball player dreams about hitting.

@Raldi616 @tigers Pretty sure that’s the manager’s call. You really are a “football guy”

@GLaysonANC @tigers Skubal pulled himself out of game 5 after 99 pitches last fall, too. Is he afraid?

@FlavioVolpe1 You should be a copy editor. Just shorten it: USA grabs oil while Venezuela gets gold

“This hour has 22 minutes” (a legendary Canadian sketch comedy show) did a Pitt parody on the Canadian healthcare system. “Robby” using hand sanitiser every 10 seconds is taking me out 😂😂😂

@GLaysonANC @tigers Venezuela would have been the same had Skubal started.

English

Greg Layson@GLaysonANC·3d

@Raldi616 @tigers You’re right. The USA’s vaunted “best team ever assembled” offence getting one hit in 4 1/3 off the starter had nothing to do with it.

@tigers Skubal sat out of the championship game because of whatever reason. Cost the USA the WBC Championship. 🤦‍♂️
