IIRC, during Covid lockdown, Théo Rochette declined to attend Worlds because he didn't want to fly during Covid, quarantine on both ends, and risk the remainder of his QMJHL season. As a result, he was persona non grata with the Swiss National team for a few seasons. Fischer has some fucking nerve.

Apparently I was grimacing during my mammogram and the tech was like, That doesn't hurt, I'm only applying half the allowable pressure. Ma'am. Just cuz it could have hurt MORE doesn't mean it didn't hurt a bit. It's boob-smooshing. It's unpleasant. Allow me my grimace.

My copy of Volume IV is expected to arrive April 12th. Will I finish in time?

Listen, about a year ago I re-read Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century and every hundred pages I was like Yeah, we're living this right now.
