Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.
Question for anyone who makes things (professionally or personally or somewhere in between):
What would you do if you had a whole year, fully funded, with the one requirement that you NOT make anything for public consumption during that year?
This was an FOI request from advocay group Safe Parkside - exactly the kind of information Ford wants to hide.
Mmhm, this is probably likely, but makes me wary because I don’t know how great the ECHL success stories are… potentially seeing if a loan to Europe (e.g., Switzerland?) is an option for playing against men would be something I’d think about
potentially! with the CHL/NCAA change, it’ll be interesting to see the knock-on effects of each decision and how teams maneuver their relationships accordingly to secure the most playing time for their prospects
I wonder what the #Sens plan on doing with Belleville next year now that Reidler and Beckman are both signed. I figured they would’ve wanted one (or both) of them to play more collegiate hockey… but maybe they want more control over their development environment?
at least Green’s ice time usage makes me believe that he’s learned his lesson with Spence and that Cousins doesn’t have the pace to be a long-term fit. what sucks is that i figured a series like this might play into Zetterlund’s favour and it has not (yet)
Sens difference between #1 and #6 defender icetime: 30 minutes
Hurricanes difference between #1 and #6 defender icetime: 10 minutes
I don't say this lightly but that was a gwyneth philips level performance by ullmark

Good to see Green adjusting. Cousins, Pinto, Amadio wasn’t working and if you’re going to tinker, it’s easiest with the initial name. Foegele with them to start the third.

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.
That was, despite the score, a significantly better first period for Ottawa than game 1. Kept it a bit more even for the first 10 minutes, and actually turned up the pressure a bit in the second 10.
The power play still stinks though, and still being mostly forced to the outside.
Keep generating volume if you’re Ottawa. This can’t stay this way forever with the quality of chances you’re generating. Freddie Andersen isn’t the type of goalie you have to let get into your head.
I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters.
But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way.

Game 1 A3Z stats for the nerds.
def stood out the most among all Canes forwards. Nish at the back, too
it really felt clear how much Green’s Sens emulated Carolina’s style, but obvs Brind’anour’s group is more fleshed out and capable to sustain this way of playing for 60
There's a lot of talk about leaving Substack & whether it will be the death-knell of your newsletter. I have been on Beehiiv for 7 months now & @tlpavlich.gay helped me run some numbers. So, was leaving Substack worth it? The answer, for me, has been a resounding "yes."
Here are the hard numbers:
@billycarpy.bsky.social when the CBs have the ball in possession against the MC 4-press, are there cons to Eze and Ode dropping deeper more and align the vertical plane to become better pass recipients?
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”
