I also had no idea this was a Canadianism, but I've definitely picked it up via hockey osmosis.

Oh my GOD. The song that Rudy Giuliani used in his anti-Zohran post is fucking AI-generated. It's a song called "September 11, 2001" and it's from some AI slop factory called The Experience. You need to hear how bad this song is.

Fun(?) mayoral election fact. Mario Cuomo lost *three* separate times to Ed Koch in 1977: in the Democratic primary, in a runoff because neither got 40 percent, and then finally as the Liberal Party candidate in the general, despite most powerful Dems urging him to drop out.

"An astonishing 95 percent of the 7,130 eligible MLB players were remembered at least once. Judging by bWAR accumulated in the 2000s, the most productive MLB player who went unremembered was Reese Olson, who has 4.4 bWAR at time of writing."
