I feel like AI slop ads is a “woke mob/cancel culture” initiative that everyone can get behind. These companies should be bullied into submission on this absolute garbage.

The teddy bear toss is pure chaos.

And even when he hasn’t allowed a goal they feel the need to pump his tires.

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

Normally this would be too early for the wave but up 9-3 I’ll allow it.

I wish the Oilers could play Seattle 50, maybe 60 times a season.

Tom Cotton, pictured here dressed to go aggressively Christmas Caroling at a local synagogue, articulates his enthusiasm for the Trump administration‘s secret unreviewable power to kill anyone they want.

The results of this survey must be *really* bad. Yet another rake this government has stepped on. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

$200k during the teachers strike. Another $300k in May related to the Alberta Next nonsense. A half million dollars worth of sole source contracts in less than six months going to a firm with connections to the UCP. Just a normal day in Alberta. www.townandcountrytoday.com/beyond-local...

"We have a budget deficit, so we had to eliminate the rights of teachers" probably wouldn't be an argument I would make. If that's the case, why would any union think the province is bargaining in good faith? edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

This is very good, particularly if you enjoy The Band, The Last Waltz, Neil Young's infamous cocaine booger, etc, but even if you do not, Rax King is one of America's great writers.

Luxury seats are a response to there being a ton more Americans for whom ticket prices are no object, thanks mostly to Ronald Reagan. The ideal stadium, to an owner, is probably one incredibly opulent seat that you could then sell to Martin Shkreli.

Damn, Spotify. I mean, you’re probably not wrong but I’m only 46. You could have been a little more cool about this.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.

Please don’t give Danielle Smith any ideas.

Tough game for the Oilers to not at least come away with a point. By every measure except goals the Oilers were the better team. Sucks but it happens sometimes.

It’s incredible how hard Jack Michaels and Louie DeBrusk work to find an excuse for Skinner on every goal.

since denver launched its e-bike rebate program - the have sold 10,000 e-bikes and reduced an estimated 1,000,000 car trips - replacing millions of VMTs and reducing air pollution there are no climate silver bullets... but damn - e-bikes and e-cargo bikes are close denvergov.org/Government/A...

I've still got these tickets if anyone is interested.

I've still got these tickets if anyone is interested.

Can’t make tonight’s Oilers game. I’ve got two tickets at half price in Section 216, Row 10. $90 for the pair. First come, first served.

I wonder if Melania puts them up on the refrigerator

That’s a very attractive red shirt you’re wearing Admiral Bradley

Younghoe Koo completely missed the ball and kicked the turf, Jaxson Dart can't believe it

Sure seems like things are about to get weird in Alberta. Well, weirder.

Now that Karoline Leavitt just confirmed that Frank Bradley gave the order for the second strike that killed two people clinging to boat wreckage (per @atrupar.com) this seems doubly relevant:

Yeah, that's not how it works ever since the Hague Convention of 1899. That is some John Yoo-level horrifying shit from the White House.

Despite their best efforts, the Dolphins managed to hold on for the win. There was some truly terrible football played in that game.

Oilers win. The good sports day continues. Now back to curling. Go Team Jacobs.

Just saw this on the intermission highlights. Never seen something like this before.

Hyman with a very Hyman goal. You love to see it.

I fully support the Kraken giving Draisaitl an open shot from between the hash marks.

That five penalty kills for the Oilers in the first half of this game. The PK has looked really good. I would like to see a whole lot less of it though.

Draisaitl needs to be smarter than that. Stupid penalty to take.

Nice first period from the Oilers. Started the game on time for a change, which was certainly nice. Staying out of the penalty box might something to consider in the second period.

I love you Nuge. Glad to see you back in the lineup.

With wins from Newcastle and Team Homan, it’s been an enjoyable sports day for Ryan so far. What are the odds the Oilers can manage to keep that going? I’m not very optimistic.

Always a joy to get emails from every company I’ve ever interacted with, all arriving on the same day. Exactly the Thanksgiving-week spectacle the Pilgrims surely had in mind.

Obviously the best time to remember that you got rid of the broken snow shovel last spring is right after the first snowfall of the following winter. Definitely not the sort of thing you’d want to deal with in advance.

I'm booking a hotel and have two payment options: pay now or pay a deposit equal to the full amount. I'm not an expert but I think those options are exactly the same.

With Gushue out, does TSN still show the rest of the event or do they just pack up and head home?

this continues to bug me. i know that Calgary media is completely fucked. but what purpose is served by giving this manbaby airtime, without challenging him. a statement this stupid really should get him laughed out of office, but the media just nod along all "hmmm, yes, valid point..."

This is a perfect analogy for the UCP.

I just want to point out that she pushed him and had this great line: Gerson: “What I thought was really interesting about that column: at no point did you stop to consider whether or not America was a country worth joining.” Douthat: “I did not.” Gerson: “Which is a very American thing to do.”

I’m thinking that maybe the win against the Panthers wasn’t a turning point after all.

Give Dallas the goal. Not like it matters.

Note the UCP's meme 👇. In this particular case, the government has broken commitments to preserve public healthcare. More worrisome, they're keeping more promises than they made in their 2023 platform. From @daveberta.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/davebert...
