Ah, yes, just as Jesus said to the masses: "Heed me now, for verily I say unto thee: Oil is the way, the truth, and the light. Any man who worshipeth the false idols of wind and solar, shall be condemned to eternity in the eternal lake of fire." - Dani 4:13

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

There have been very few airborne bombings by US aircraft on US soil. The first was the 1921 Tulsa Massacre of Black owned businesses. The most recent was the MOVE bombings in 1985, of Black occupied apartments in Philly.

So we are now at the: 'throw off all pretence of democracy and do whatever it takes to maintain power'stage of fascism. The people of the USA are going to have to fight like Hungary to overcome this.

Zbigniew Ziobro was one of the authors of the attempt to transform Poland into an authoritarian regime. Ziobro is a wanted man with no passport. The Trump White House just went to a good deal of trouble to bring him to the US. snyder.substack.com/p/copycat-ty...

The New York Times Got Caught Using AI Hallucinations in Its Reporting. Despite how the newspaper downplayed it, this is—in fact—a big deal, by @michellecyca.com thewalrus.ca/the-new-york... via @thewalrus.ca #journalism

With Hamilton getting a PWHL expansion team today, let's take a moment to remember the first ever Team Canada, the Hamilton Golden Hawks, and how that team took "one giant step for womankind" thehockeynews.com/womens/other... #PWHL

The PWHL will expand to Las Vegas and Hamilton ahead of next season. My story on why Vegas and Hamilton were selected, and why the PWHL is expanding rapidly: www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

It's official: PWHL Hamilton The PWHL will add their 11th franchise in Hamilton, Ontario the league formally announced this morning. thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/... #PWHL

Ottawa and Montreal have played for the Stanley Cup in men's hockey more than once. The last time was in Jan. 1908 when the Montreal Wanderers defeated the Ottawa Victorias in a two-game series decided by total goals. Montreal won 22-4. The Charge and Victoire will probably have a closer PWHL final.

ONE LAST BATTLE 🏆 The road to the Walter Cup is officially down to its final chapter. Tune in as Montréal faces Ottawa in the 2026 PWHL Walter Cup Finals presented by Scotiabank! 📺 US: ION 📺 CA: TSN, RDS 📺 Outside of Canada: thepwhl.com + PWHL Youtube Channel

The Walter Cup has been cleansed and DeFrosted!

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THE VICTOIRE ARE HEADED TO THE WALTER CUP FINALS‼️

It's a (highway) 417 series in the PWHL finals! #Ottawa #Montreal 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Britta Curl should have got tossed from the game for that dirty hit on Roque but of course the ref does nothing. Why does the league let her get away with bloody murder? #pwhl

Great news that Hamilton is getting a PWHL expansion team on Thursday! Hamilton had a team in the NHL from 1920-21 to 1924-25 -- the Hamilton Tigers.

Hamilton is expected to become the PWHL's 11th franchise with an announcement scheduled for Thursday morning at TD Coliseum. thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/...

Too bad Kershaw won't be around to get mad about it.

The most premium space in the city, next to two of our most iconic gathering places, and we are going to put server racks there?

How many data centres are needed? They are taking our jobs and water. What's in it for the 99%?

PWHL ref health plan doesn’t include vision

I have the official PWHL rulebook, but it'd be useful to see a copy of the version the refs are using in these playoffs

I'm done with this "hockey" game. What a poor excuse for a game and it's all the fault of incompetent refs. The refs Jake Kamrass (3) and Sydney Harris (28) should be fired. I'm turning this garbage off. No interest in yet another PWHL pickle juice / mustard packet multi-OT game. #Fleet #Charge

The thing about PWHL reffing is that they should consider trying it.

That second period was the worst period of PWHL "hockey" in the league's 3-year history. The refs have completely lost control of the game. It's non-stop thuggery... #Fleet #Charge

I have lost track of how many interference, illegal body checking, and roughing penalties the refs have refused to call. The PWHL is devolving into rollerball. #Fleet #Charge

Data shows the US has carried out at least 25 intelligence-gathering flights off Cuba since early February, mirroring what they did before the attack on Venezuela, CNN reports.

Instead of wearing pink on Mother’s Day I think male athletes should just respect women year-round. It’s not that hard!

It remains great work

Judicial nominee John George Edward Marck refuses to answer Chris Coons' question whether Trump can run for a third term.

please read this 2016 piece by Sarah Kendzior we had so much warning “This is an American authoritarian kleptocracy, backed by millionaire white nationalists both in the United States and abroad, meant to strip our country down for parts, often using ethnic violence to do so.”

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

"Superpower Suicide." If you read one article on US politics this week, make it this one.

Althia Raj is doing some of the most important reporting out there right now, exposing how Carney is dismantling any semblance of Canada’s progressive values. Pharmacare, child care, now the environment… Please, pay attention. He’s eviscerating environmental laws worse than Harper. Than HARPER!!!

The Ottawa Charge returned home and beat the Boston Fleet in front of a playoff record crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre. The win, with a standout performance from Gwyneth Philips, brings Ottawa within a win of the finals. ✍️ @chrissinclairrr.bsky.social thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/... #PWHL

More courage in this one minute clip than most national Democratic leaders.

Seeing hantav*rus reactions is a glimpse into the chaos the next actual pandemic will cause bc there will be no effective leadership or comms. People memory-holed an experience they don’t want to think about ever again, get angry about protections, and the US has baboons with chainsaws at the helm.

So this won an award for best news writing and honestly fuck yeah it was a labour of love www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If anyone has turned Laura Stacey's hit on Britta Curl into a gif, please post it. I want to watch it on a loop.

Laura Stacey is all of us

Muting the word "Nickelback" on Bluesky. (Damn you Minnesota Frost fans.) If only I could mute them IRL.

Rumors of PWHL expansion to San Jose have intensified. The market and PWHL continue to negotiate, including a call today. Nothing is signed yet, but it is clear, the PWHL wants to be in San Jose, and to lay down roots in California. thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/... #PWHL #FutureIsTeal

🏒 Two HUGE PWHL Playoff Games On The Docket Tonight! 🇨🇦 GO CANADA GO 🇨🇦 ‼️

Part Two: Lessons learn from SARS-CoV-2 Do these instead: 1. Do not prioritize preventing even mild fear. Prioritize preventing disease. 2. Use this as an opportunity to emphasize the importance of broadly effective mitigations like clean air and N95s. (Like you do with hand hygiene.)

3. Two words: precautionary principle. 4. Assume it *could be* airborne and transmitted among humans and act accordingly. 5. Assume that it *could be* a newly emerging zoonotic virus, or that it is a known virus that has evolved to be more transmissible or virulent, and act accordingly.
