I’m sure there’d be a perfectly sound and normal response if Michelle Obama had said:

“I have had an open channel of communication with a foreign dictator”

On top of it, he has blocked me on every platform (his two election social media accounts) for merely DMing for a response.

So now I’m PUBLIC

People wonder why there are so many single family homes, because people keep busting nuts in women they don't respect.

So I have been really percolating on this one in the last month…

Started running more and more trying to see if I can do 50KMs in a day.

Ran 23KMs+ in the last two days.

I think I would like to do my own “Marathon of Hope”, across Canada before the age of 40.

With the goal of running a minimum of a marathon a day pace. The whole way.

I know others have done it, and will do it in far more impressive times/raise more impressive monies.

Absolutely no idea how…

A great article by Steven (as always)

And just a handy tool for those of us (myself included) who cannot keep up with the youth movements from every team.

Steven tracks everyone, so you don’t have to. (This article is just the tip of the iceberg of knowledge)

I looked at one rookie to watch on every NHL team.

From guys playing big roles right away to others proving they can handle certain roles, there's a lot to keep an eye on in 2025-26.

For @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social:

One rookie to watch on all 32 NHL teams in 2025-26

Yea. I has to unfollow during her campaign for mayor.

I really do bite my tongue a lot more than I give myself credit for

Oh yeah that group seems nuttier than Cartmells group just from a couple of the people who are in that group I know of. That Taproot site has a good summary and even an election survey.

I was unable to get a BlueSky pass (despite being in the social media industry by accident) until it was open to the public.

My platform shift just didn’t happen. Cutting the Twitter cord wasn’t easy. But I became a lot more active politically/physically, offline thanks to it.

(Run marathons now)

Well, I am drifting into the “this place is giving me early Elon days feels” camp and I quit Twitter at 5,000 followers about two weeks after that moron took over.

Feel like @jay.bsky.team and her team have been watching this thing crumble and cackling about it.

But maybe I’m just tired boss

appreciate you confirming.

It’s been a consistent issue for me since joining the site.

But clearly not a massive problem? I just happen to upload videos to the application all the time for my work 🙃

think the Sharks are still rudderless, the Kings are going to be the Preds of last year. Kraken have burned me before believing they turned the corner from that expansion draft.

The Flames have work to do to give Wolf some support but I think they do it.

Whoops. Sorry I thought you were replying to my other post.

But no, I am just making a joke here. I think he’s coming back. Just opening night getting Kyle Bukaskas [SP?] out there?
