Black Pill by Elle Reeve should be mandatory reading these days. That, and understanding the history of Gamergate. God, fuck Gamergate. www.simonandschuster.ca/books/Black-...

Black Pill: a feeling of gleeful nihilism; that all of this is corrupt, hopeless. Society is irredeemable - and so the best thing you can possibly do is accelerate towards its destruction, because what comes after will be a golden era. You can remake the world the way it ought to be.

/12 If you think it is obvious that the videos prove murder and nobody can say otherwise, your view is based on how you want the system to be, not how it is. It will be brutally hard, fighting inch by inch against what America is, to convict Jonathan Ross. Your feelings don’t enter into it.

/11 There will be legions of junk scientists and gun-for-hire experts ready to testify that Ross was following policy and acted reasonably. (And this all elides the complicated set of rules that will apply when the prosecution gets removed to federal court, by the way.)

/10 The feds will be co-opting and threatening witnesses, and stochastically encouraging Trumpists to do so. The ICE agents on scene will be expected and eager to lie however necessary to defend their fellow Gestapo. Anyone within ICE who cooperates will be attacked, fired, maybe prosecuted.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

In a terrible, no-good season with everything going wrong, this is the obviously improved player that must be signed to a $25m+ extension because you dare not mess with the locker room vibes

Quick, everyone name your favourite interim head coach replacements: >Randy Carlyle >Pascal Vincent >Ryan Bowness, again

At least Zhilkin got 7 minutes of ice time and Stanley did a thing

Small wins: at least they got to above 1 xG in the 1st period before decided to stop playing for the 2nd and 3rd like last game

Edmonton only scoring goals on gorgeous-looking assists today

At this point even I want to be on the Stanley bandwagon so I can have something to cheer about for the Jets

Not only does CJOB bring on this obviously partisan guest to describe this situation as a life-or-death moment for the ICE fuck, Cloutier even interrupts him mid-ramble to offer even more handwaving nonsense (“the facts that we know”) to eventually conclude “whether we like it or not, a good shoot”

Critical support to the guy who runs a gay soccer bar(!) in St Paul MN who, when interviewed by the equivocating CBC Manitoba morning host, was firmly like, "ma'am, I understand your job forces you to take the official statement seriously, but we have eyes and can see they are lying about the video"

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Jonathan Foster: “If someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true.”

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

Schenn is going to be traded for no more than a 6th and you’ll get the likes of Dreger and other mouthpieces complimenting Cheveldayoff for “doing right for a respected veteran”

The ICE murder of Renee Good and the failure of any cessation of the Grok CSAM and nonconsensual image generation are part of the same broader story about the establishment of elite impunity for transgressing all moral boundaries of a humanist civil society with individual rights

ICE agents blocked the ambulance from reaching the vehicle that held the woman who was shot in the face and killed for briefly blocking the vehicles of ICE agents.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

VGK found a way to win by ending the 2nd and starting the 3rd strong, whereas WPG felt like they needed to fight for every inch of ice and went 20+ minutes with a noteworthy shot on net (and that includes the Schenn goal). Vegas faced 7 teams in the Central and their only win was against the Jets.

In a period as boring as this one, it’s only fitting that Schenn gets a weak wrister from the blue line all the way through for a goal

That is an /extremely/ tough replay to watch

Behind TWO defenders. That's the Perfetti style of game I know and love.

One. Per. Minute. These are real photos of real people. Being turned into some of the grossest and most violating sexual images you can imagine. By Elon's chatbot. While Elon laughs about it. #TeslaTakedown

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Honestly, I am getting tired of seeing people defending Carney and other milquetoast politicians for vague, acquiescent statements and actions (or lack thereof). I get it: you yearn for a return to boring/normalcy. It’s dead, buried, and never coming back. Sooner everyone realizes that, the better.

The establishment is afraid of Zohran exposing that better things are actually possible. Not even in a "transforming America through the revolution" way but a "Here are 500 things I can quickly do that make your day-to-day life less annoying" way.

Mark Carney did not join NATO allies in signing this joint statement reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland:

your mileage may vary but my experience on here improved pretty noticeably when I stopped offering explanations to people whose questions sought conflict rather than answers

“We did it, Mark! We saved the season.”

Watching the World Junior's and - I'm sorry, did they just play Banjo-Kazooie music in a highlight package on Sunday Night Football?

Going from Marcel Comeau to Mark Hillier and the immediate 2016 aftermath was one thing; Garret has been all over the US scouting brain drain; but don’t forget about Mike Keane and Jimmy Roy also with lifetime jobs as development coaches with these kind of results:

What a crazy end to the SWE-FIN game

TNSE:

Stanley's mistake was that he took his gloves off before throwing a punch. If he kept his gloves on or "accidentally-on-purpose" elbowed Brady in the head, he wouldn't have even had a hearing

Nine straight losses. Process slightly better, results much worse. From Presidents’ Trophy to last place, the #NHLJets are out of runway. #GoJetsGo Games 40 recap (+ Microstats for games 38-40) ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/thefiveh...

Casual reminder that Paul Maurice had to be begged to return to coach the Jets after he was considering not coming back after the COVID play-in, and then ultimately had to fire himself, in case people are expecting TNSE/WJHC to take any immediate actions

Perfetti has looked much better tonight - notably, consistently better as opposed to the last few games where he had some real bad decisions intermixed - but the main problem with his game right now (other than coming off an ankle injury) is that he’s modelling his OZ play after 55. Bad, bad idea

God’s plan for Scheifele is constantly reminding him that he can’t be defensively weak in his own zone as his team’s 1C

Guy who traded a 2nd and 4th for Luke Schenn is poking around looking for goal-scoring for a team in 32nd place. Surely nothing can go wrong here

WPG had multiple opportunities to exit the zone, but rushed themselves or were pressured by OTT into one costly turnover after the next - and eventually all of 81-55-13 were on one side of the ice and left a couple of Sens open, with Hellebuyck unable to make the second save on big rebound.

Lemon,
