One difference between the prior Gilded Age and this one is that John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan didn't drive themselves insane through a combination of AI psychosis, group chat and X addiction, and designer amphetamines.

The funny thing is it’s communist China that is listening to the market and going solar/electric while in capitalist North America, governments desperately prop up failing fossil fuels markets.

A pipeline funded by…. you. This is a government pipeline with a mere 10% stake from private investment. And jobs? Last year 10k Albertan oil workers were laid off as production skyrocketed. Call it what it is — a handout for the dying fossil fuel industry.

i kinda love this answer, it’s very illuminating. it’s not about female athletes at all, it’s about the fragile egos of delusional psychopathic parents who want returns on their perceived investments

He would time travel to hang out with Hitler if he thought there were a buck to be made.

In the bright side Canada has advanced further than Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. And Italy of course.

Seriously I don’t know how you manage to go 0/7 after you’ve apparently had a month to plan but Jesus the blow after blow has made this day so much worse. No Giroux, Bourque, Arvidsson, anyone of 300 decent back up goalies, just 6 replacement level guys who can’t score and an 80 y/o goalie

Wonder if he brought a bagged lunch?

But paying picks plus Hildeby for 31-yr old Nick fucking Paul is a big yikes for me. They've now added 4 bottom 6 guys, precisely zero offense, and a 38-yr old goalie off a dismal season behind a strong defensive club. I truly do not understand what the plan is here.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a GM take so many individuals Ls in such a short period of time. I think there have been worse July 1s in terms of the size of the mistakes, but this has been about 6 obvious mistakes in about three hours of work

So the Leafs have 4 top 6 forwards (don’t tell me Cowan and McKenna will be next year), zero proven top pair D, no safe bet in net, they are capped out and don’t have their first for two years? That’s a D grade for me.

Trading a decent goalie prospect and two mid round picks for a 4th liner making $3.15? C’mon.

Ok Chayka has lost me. I’m out.

I don’t get this at all. The Raps aren’t a Kawhi away from contending even before you factor in what they’ll have to give up to get him. He’s a huge health risk who only makes sense for a contender that needs to swing for the fences. What am I missing?

Definitely a deserved result.

Huge risk using all your subs with extra time looming.

RSA with a lot of possession around their goalie but the xG is all Canada. They just can’t create clean chances in the final third.

I wouldn’t focus on the Leafs here. But yeah, I am confident if players were constantly forcing their way out of Gary’s precious southern US markets he would have done something.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a photo of this guy where he isn’t smiling.

NHL GMs should regard a trade-down proposal from Tulsky with the same trepidation a sensible public figure should have for an interview request from Isaac Chotiner. You'll likely regret it.

Fresh off of endorsing Chris Rufo —by name—and his vision to destroy higher education, Yale is rushing to help the Trump admin resegregate education. An absolute disgrace.

I don't blame Chayka for this trade. In a vacuum, it makes a lot of sense. The problem was Treliving's trade that brought Carlo to the Leafs in the first place

remember how after trump won every media outlet was in a rush to hire sycophantic trump lickspittle to represent his voters? is that happening right now with progressive commentators? i can only assume it is and i just havent seen it

Canadian equivalent is pushing a stranded car out of a snowbank.

Ironically, the Fortress North America crowd (Ford, Carney, the Business Council of Canada) wants the one thing that is completely off the table: certainty in Canada-US trade relations. It’s been gone for a long time and it ain’t coming back.

Very happy to see Uruguay going home given the shameful performance they just put on.

Way too much writhing on the ground in Uruguay-Spain.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Question for NYC people. I was just there and the WTC memorial pools were chained off. You couldn’t approach them. Is that normal?

Goaltender Samuel Ersson is a restricted free agent who needs the Senators to qualify him at $1.6 million for the team to retain his rights. This one is a head-scratcher.

Love it because it makes the Leafs better and the Sens worse.

Carbon capture is a scam intended to delay us from doing things that would actually work.

Correct. They're going to trot out a 7-2 decision that acknowledges the sky is blue and they expect that's going to make everyone forget all of this insane fuckery. The Supreme Court must be reformed, and soon.

As usual, it's either “we need this to protect you against the dangerous terrorists” or “will someone please think of the children?”. (This cartoon is at least 20 years old, by the way. Some things just don't change. People fall for it every time.)

Like this story might as well be “More visitors came from countries with close diplomatic ties where the process to travel to Canada is easy compared to countries with poor diplomatic ties and a more difficult visa process.”

The first group have teams playing in the WC, and the second group (except Ghana and DRC) don’t have teams playing in the WC. Further, there’s a big difference between being from an eTA country and needing a visa which could require medical exams, background checks, fingerprints, interviews, etc

I don’t understand this at all. Sure the Wolves fill their PG hole but between this and the Randle trade their frontcourt rotation is Gobert, McDaniels and ??? Meanwhile the Hornets—everyone’s favourite riser last year—have a bunch of wings and no PG.

The advances in cancer have been so fast that if you’re a doctor who doesn’t specialize in cancer, you simply can’t keep up. There are cancers that I learned are incurable in med school (‘98-2002) that are now cured or managed as long-term issues. Insane levels of ignorance from Peter Thiel 😳

Man. Came on strong at the end but exposed on the back end in that 10 minute stretch by the Swiss speed. Heartbreaking not to get another home game.

Crazy skill from Saliba. Canada are, um, not known for that.
