  2. Tampa did me a favour and bear Boston this afternoon too! Your Ms are not doing so hot tonight though…
  3. Jays smack the Yanks 8-0 today
  4. I like your optimism dude! I won’t get my hopes up too much yet, but this weekend’s series against Oakland was great. Pitching faltered but the bats finally came through. This team should be able to out-score teams quite a bit. In the remainder of the schedule, Toronto plays Baltimore several more times too. They absolutely need to win as many games as possible against the Yanks, but racking up wins against the O’s is also very important. I don’t think the Jays have any games left against Boston though. We need them to lose.

    What listen ?

    Lee 'Scratch' Perry died Gotta spin some reggae and dub today in Scratch's honour I have always really enjoyed this collab between him and King Tubby.

    The new Candy Flurry and Elusive Samurai chapters were solid. I’m looking forward to the upcoming showdowns in each next week! Dr. Stone is progressing pretty quickly.
  7. The number of cases reported in Ontario are climbing daily, slow and steady Still not out of control yet, but not a good direction to be heading in. School starts the day after Labour Day too. I really need the schools to stay open all year this year ?

    Aquatope #8 — that’s one scary crab Another very touching episode. After a slow-ish start, Aquatope has turned out to be quite good.

    Anybody going to check out Edens Zero? I think the first part of it just hit Netflix... I might have a look this weekend.

    Fena #3 — This show is super fun. Another very solid episode. The twins And Yukimaru was pretty badass

    Spy X Family

    It was a fun mini-chapter, but I was disappointed to see the ‘.1’ Oh well, two weeks until the next proper chapter.

    Gundam Thread

    Finally got around to Hathaway this weekend. I agree, very Tomino. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was perhaps a bit light on the mecha, so I hope there will be more battles in the upcoming movies.
  13. Seattle usually doesn’t win in blow-outs, so it’s tough against teams with lots of offensive firepower. They need to keep games close. Toronto stopped the bleeding a little bit last night with a win, but even if they win a lot of their remaining games, they might still come up short. Too many teams ahead of them. I think they do still have a couple series left against NYY though. Winning those games could help them move up the Wild Card standings. But even still, they need Boston, Seattle, Oakland to start losing more games too.
  14. I never heard about the Ivermectin thing until I read these posts. Wow I guess it’s only a thing in the USA… I don’t think anybody is using that stuff (on humans) up here. Maybe Special K would work better. They use that stuff on horses too. K-Hole the coronavirus
  15. That really sucks. Hopefully the guy bounces back after the hospital stay, but getting hospitalized can’t be a good sign

    Aquatope #7 — I thought it was just going to be ‘the swimsuit episode’ (every anime gotta have one ) but there was a lot more depth to it than that. I am going to be so bummed out if they don’t save this good damn aquarium
  17. The Blue Jays are killing me The bullpen specifically. How can you lose two games to the Nats!? Uuugggghhhhhh
  18. Yikes. Circumstances are quite different from there to here. AFAIK masks will be required at all schools here (in class, in the halls, on buses, etc.) I'm sure a small amount of people are upset by that, but anybody that is that opposed to masking can choose to put their kids in online schooling, or some other alternative to public schools. It seems odd to pass legislation saying schools cannot require masks. Right now there is a push from some parents in Ontario to require all teachers and school staff get vaccinated, but I doubt that will go anywhere. The government is loathe to make vaccines mandatory. But if they strongly recommend it, and introduce routine rapid testing for staff that choose to not get the vaccine, then I think that will be adequate.

    DB Super #75 -- I'm usually not a huge Vegeta fan, but I guess he's growing on me a bit. This battle is great. I hope to see it animated someday!
  20. That's a bummer. I would probably not be so quick to pull my kids from school, but it would also depend on other factors. Does your school seem like it's got a good plan in place to screen kids each day and notify parents if a case is found in the school? There are still going to be some cases that slip through the cracks, but if the school seems to have a credible plan in place to handle COVID and mitigate the risks, then that would satisfy me. I totally get how other people would see things differently though! Each kid is different too. My 10 year old always wears a mask without complaints or having to remind her, and she's mindful about physical distancing and other COVID-related rules, so it's easy for us to trust her to be safe at school. If she behaved differently then we'd probably be more worried about that as well. School doesn't start here until after Labour Day. We'll see how things go in September.

    Fena #2 — It seems like this show is going to have a really fun cast of characters! (Except maybe Yukimaru, what a buzzkill ) I’ve got pretty high hopes that this is gonna be a good one.
