The #Canes defend home ice and have a 2-0 series lead, thanks to Jordan Martinook's game-winner in the second overtime! 🙌

I know it’s a school night but there are a shocking number of empty seats in the Lenovo Center lower level during this second OT.

The NHL ruled Jordan Staal *did not* have possession of the puck while entering the zone. We've gone from black-and-white offside ruling to subjective. That's tough for Carolina.

Hockey needs to go to the clear and obvious error rule because no way Staal clearly and obviously failed to possess the puck he clearly possessed.

Canes robbed. Film … eventually, but not by 11 clearly

ESPN commentators want Ottawa to win this game so bad. #LetsGoCanes

Prescient.

Congrats to @wthrockmorton.bsky.social on the release of his new book, "The Christian Past that Wasn't: Debunking the Christian Nationalist Myths that Hijack History." I blurbed this book b/c I believe in the work. He dismantles 7 key myths. Check it out! www.broadleafbooks.com/store/produc...

Write what you think the section is in as few words as possible. Under 100 is good. Under 50 is better. Now retype that. Retype it again. Retype it until new words start to suggest themselves.

Nice work Sabres.

Ever wonder why we take pictures of our food? @emilycontois.bsky.social does. And this is phenomenal. #HATM amzn.to/41ESAHQ

They run back the same playbook with the same players every Sunday.

@pauldjupe.bsky.social and I have found similar dynamics in our own survey data. The bump in young men's religiosity seems to be related to the embrace by young men of more conservative religious worldviews, not religion broadly speaking. For more, check out: religioninpublic.blog/2025/03/05/t...

there is such a magic to sitting on a tiny island in the boundary waters, seeing more stars than you could have imagined were up there, hearing the loons i hope we do not rob future generations of experiencing it

My small but mighty alma mater Gustavus Adolphus College just launched a new strategic plan that starts with a full-throated endorsement of a liberal arts education today, and I am very proud.

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.

There was an image from a Helmand FOB of a white board in a TOC, on which it was written "America is not at war. The Marine Corps is at war. America is at the mall." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Went to an event tonight for an org that funds early childhood programs and the MC was talking about the value of early childhood so we can raise a community of “doctors and lawyers” and I can’t quite believe we are still describing a future where everyone is doing two professions.

Harvard and Yale really reinforcing my personal theory that both are enormous black holes made of social distortion and we’d be better off without them.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

What say you @rachelshelden.bsky.social

With this bridge struck, how will people still living south of the Litani continue to get access to aid, food, & medicine? How will hospitals replenish their medical supplies? The bridge was described to us as a lifeline by local officials and health workers An unfolding humanitarian catastrophe

The national media is eating up this report as justification for perpetuating the lie that universities themselves - as opposed to decades of attacks from the far right authoritarian party - are responsible for eroding trust in higher education. You can almost hear them salivating at the chance.

A man linked to white supremacist movements pleaded guilty to burning the historic Highlander Center, where Rosa Parks attended a workshop on integration before her 1955 bus protest. In March 2019, the blaze destroyed decades of irreplaceable civil rights archives, artifacts, and history.

Thank you Senator Smith. Just learned about this legislation and it is a big mistake - it needs to be defeated.

Let’s go.

Yeah this dude and his team are really good at political communication.

Amazing. I want one. Or to share one. Anyone in?

Oof, that would be Threads. Hard to avoid the nuclear war movies in my childhood but no way was I ready for that one.

We must continue to bear witness and tell the truth.

So my decision to boycott Amazon and all things Prime looking pretty good eh?

Well this is both horrifying and unsurprising. Great work by @prri.org to get this data and work toward rigorous definitions and methods

Another effort to trace a pattern of thinking visible across a body of scholarship so far: How institutional life translates moral aspiration into patterned practice & why that translation so often preserves the very inequalities it seeks to overcome. 👉 gerardomarti.substack.com/p/the-gap-of...

As an editor one of the few newspapers left publishing a decent amount of book reviews and other coverage, I hope you might consider a digital subscription to the Boston Globe. It's not that expensive and look at what we do! www.bostonglobe.com/arts/books/

I think this is pretty great - the original meme amazing and now somehow even better

I will not be doing any maxxing and feel fine about my life choices.

The Quiet Revival report was retracted after YouGov acknowledged problems with bogus survey respondents. In this NYT story, I comment on why the initial report got so much attention. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/world/europe/britain-christian-revival-survey.html?searchResultPosition=1
