Today‘s National Hockey League plays big bucks to pros who can’t do their job. Capitalism as socialism in disguise, rewarding those who don’t deserve it.
Came across this video on reddit of Martin St. Louis attempting to teach the Montreal Canadiens to play defense, which the team's showing as of late suggests they've all forgotten how to do, and this video that's like herding small children really shows how much work that team needs

Zehn neue Songs beim Copyright Office in Washington angemeldet & hochgeladen. Was man nicht alles macht, wenn man spürt, dass die Musik Potentital hat. Kostproben, wenn die Marketing-Kampagne anläuft. P.S. Es haben ein paar sehr gute Musiker aus mehreren Kontinenten mitgemacht. Eine Riesenerfahrung.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

If Trump shot someone on 5th Avenue. On what page would the #BrokenTimes report it?
The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page.
No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.
