The NFL has a huge violence against women problem

I'd like to see the @patriotsnfl.bsky.social take a big step towards fixing that. It cannot continue

I used "smooth-brained" as a dig until a father of a boy with lissencephaly -- the medical term for the condition -- wrote me an incredibly patient note to explain what his son had to deal with.

This phrase is a gratuitous insult to parents and children who are already suffering. Don't use it.

Emerald Fennell’s Emily Brontë adaptation is brave enough to just be about two messy bitches.

For someone who utilized the notwithstanding clause to rob teachers of their Charter rights, outrage over "cancel culture" is quite the stance...

But calling Brandt one of "Canada's greatest musicians"?

He used to be good, but "greatest"?

That's a reach.

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

Thank goodness Hair Furor clarified it would be Ice Hockey (properly capitalized, this being Canada and all), as otherwise I would have worried about our famous field hockey culture and league.
Trump's rants are like Al Capone in his syphilitic period.
He thinks China is going to ban ice hockey.
Nope but they may build an auto plant in Canada.
The Germans are talking about building one as well.
As for the Gordie Howe Bridge? Good luck threatening $700 billion in trade.

It actually spends a reasonable amount of time talking about the music and the festivals of the area, but of course is more about the efforts to save ancient manuscripts when the city and region were taken over by extremists. A tremendous book.

I dunno, "Mario Guerrero" sounds pretty foreign to me.

Songhai and Tuareg and related groups are some of my favourite music these days. Have you read The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu?

Here he is posing with skis he won in an event. Narrowing it down, I would say this was 1927 or 28. He handed them on to Dad, and two years ago we donated them (and a lot of other items, mostly from his trapping days) to the Royal Alberta Museum, at the museum's request.

As ski jumping is on right now at the Milan Winter Olympics, this seems the time to post this photo of my grandpa Bud Murphy jumping as a teen at a local competition in Peace River, Alberta, some time in the-mid 1920s. In spite of his stance here, he was apparently quite good.

I went out to shovel snow because I traditionally skip the half time show and now I'm inside and it's on and boy oh boy do I regret that tradition all of a sudden.
