It has been some great baseball. If anyone has a chance to see a game, do it now.

There could be a run here but we still have a long way to playoffs and this year is neck-and-neck for many high calibre teams. It has been a great year to watch the Jays prove themselves.

We have the strong core of Bo, Vladdy, Springer. Their hitting this year was great but still below the high expectations. Many pitchers have figured Vladdy out and he isn’t hitting like he should be. Bo had a slow start to the year and was probably working out past injuries. Where the team really started to explode was the well-rounded roster. Kirk, Barger, Clement, Lukes… These guys all had some big hot streaks this year and the team chemistry hit a stride.

Relief pitching is probably our weak point but we have some strong starters right now. Berrios, Gausman, and Lauer have been incredible this year. The bullpen still needs work.

I’m can’t come up with an absolute upper limit but one of the more notable takes I’ve heard recently is ‘no personal ownership of cars.’

What I do like to see is a continued discussion on how to take back the internet in its current form. The cesspool of online bots and malicious corporate social spaces can be managed or avoided entirely with healthy practices, and yet you never see articles with step-by-step guidelines on how to do this. Instead, articles like this point out a few problems then give up.

Stop using social media entirely or find safe alternatives. Do not engage in online arguments. Control your viewing of political content and tailor your access towards specific trusted sources. Avoid any apps that use scrolling content feeds. Stop using your phone in bed. Lessen your phone use and restrict it to primarily phone calls and texts only.

Platforms could easily redesign their algorithms to stop promoting the most outrageous voices and prioritise more representative or nuanced content.

Corporations are not going to take actions that would benefit your health if it harms their engagement metrics. Bavel missed the mark on how the public should be actively fighting against late-stage capitalism.
