Long on Dodgers and Brewers tonight.
Nobody wants to roll the dice on a game 5.
If you can get it done on the road get it done.

By leveraging AI at my day job (app development in Canada) I have boosted my productivity 4x.
Important to note: I do not vibe code anything.
I am an iOS/Android app developer with 30 years experience programming since day 1 of the World Wide Web.
I review all code created and the AI that I use has been trained on my own code.
4x the output.
AI is not coming for my job. Iβm training others in my organization to use the tools so they can deploy faster and better.
Those of us who harness the tools will be just fine.
AI is not coming for my job, but if youβre not onboard I might be coming for yours.

I love my life
I spend zero time on balconies
I spend zero time deep sea anything
I ingest zero overdosable substances
I have zero desire to harm myself
This tweet endorsed to come out of my drafts by our Dad β€οΈ
He also said it was βpoor foresightβ for you to believe I would off myself before ~justice is served~

Christa Pike is awake and speaking after failed execution, lawyer says
Oct. 6, 2026, 4:56 PM EDT
The Tennessee woman who survived an execution last week is conscious, speaking and receiving medical care in a development her attorneys described Tuesday as βunprecedented.β
In a statement, attorneys for Christa Pike said she remains handcuffed and shackled despite suffering significant injuries to her arms after two lethal injections of pentobarbital failed to kill her.
The statement described her prognosis as unclear.
βAt a minimum, we expect a long recovery,β attorneys Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason said. βWe are incredibly grateful to the first responders and the medical team at the hospital who treated Christa like a human and have provided exceptional care to her. We also want to thank thousands from all over the world who sent messages offering prayers and support for Christa.β
The statement said the attorneys will speak during a news conference Wednesday.

The plan should be get off your ass and get a trade deal with the US and stop tryna meddle in the US midterms. It will not end well for Canada if we continue on this path.
Industry Minister Melanie Joly has written to the President of Stelco, warning them that the up to 500 layoffs in Hamilton constitutes a breach of their 2024 agreement with the federal government to maintain unionized employment until 2029.
She is giving the company five days to present a plan or potentially face βan application to the superior court for
orders that may include directing compliance, divestiture, or monetary penaltiesβ #cdnpoli

I am sitting here with a headache.
He talks like the United States is a vendor he can send back to the kitchen. βToo little. Too much. Right decision.β The room claps. My grocery bill does not clap. Stelco does not clap. The kid still in the basement does not clap.
What is the plan for the people who actually pay?
Not the envoy. Not the circle. Not the man who will never stand in a Hamilton parking lot wondering if the shift comes back.
Hundreds of billions in trade with one country. Energy in the $137-billion neighbourhood. Autos and steel built across a border, not a slogan. He walks off the table, matches tariffs, writes $32.5 billion in aid, and posts oceans. That is not a plan. That is a withdrawal from the only customer big enough to matter this decade, then a cheque so the layoff has a press release.
He will not eat the idle mill. We will. He will not eat the interest line β $58.7 billion this year, a billion a week. We will. He will not eat a cart that is still about 29% above 2021. We will.
Get back to the table or say the quiet part: the citizens are the shock absorber and the circle is fine.
Mark Carney. The Liberals. Name them.
Delusion is free. Payroll is not.
Kitchen table first.

Canadaβs Trade βWarβ Scoreboard To Date
MEASURABLE LOSSES
50% Tariffs on most non-CUSMA Canadian Exports
Complete US BAN on all Canadian alcohol
Confirmed closures or hard shrinks of Businesses in Canada:
β’ Algoma Steel (Sault Ste. Marie) β laid off about a thousand workers in March, then accelerated shutdown of its blast furnace and coke operations, blaming fifty-percent steel tariffs that made traditional integrated steelmaking unviable.
β’ RYAM (TΓ©miscaming, Quebec) β indefinitely idled its paperboard mill September fifteenth, roughly four hundred workers, explicitly citing the new tariffs.
β’ Novelis (Kingston) β cut about eighty staff, a third of the plant, over Section 232 aluminum duties.
β’ Fine Cotton Factory (Toronto) β threatening small layoffs among two hundred fifty workers after US orders dried up.
β’ Canadian Metal Buildings (Hamilton) β lost essentially all its US business.
Moving or actively planning to move south:
β’ Stellantis β shifted next-gen Jeep Compass production from Brampton, Ontario to Illinois in late 2025; the Brampton plant has sat idle since 2023 and is now reportedly being shopped to a defense firm.
β’ Honda β moved CR-V production for the US market from Alliston, Ontario to Ohio, while swapping some non-US volume back to Canada to hold employment flat.
β’ GoliathTech (Magog) β opened a US plant in January 2026 after paying two million in tariffs the prior year.
β’ Aeris Protective Packaging (Montreal) β opening a US plant because seventy percent of clients are American.
β’ Sapporo β shifting some beer production from Canada to the US.
β’ Northern Cables (Brockville) β CEO says theyβll have to βgo shoppingβ for a US factory if tariffs stick; three hundred twenty jobs at stake.
β’Stelco Steel - shutting down indefinitely October 9th - 500 workers laid off
The broader picture: a KPMG survey of two hundred seventy-five manufacturers found twenty-nine percent had already moved some or all production south, another thirteen percent planning to, with seventy-seven percent of those expecting to move within two years.
