Game Review: Maple Leafs struggle for offense, concede late goal in frustrating regulation loss to Detroit

The Maple Leafs were hard done by in this 3-2 regulation loss to Detroit, but they also need more out of the top of their lineup. The Leafs were again guilty of some sloppy puck play in the early…

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

We should have ended it all when he started openly monetizing the presidency at his DC hotel & sending his kids to represent the 🇺🇸 government at official international events. But he is One Special Boy and we appear to no longer be a serious country interested in the rule of law or the Constitution.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Instead of celebrating Christopher Columbus, you should celebrate fellow Italian explorer Giovanni “John Cabot” Caboto being the first European explorer since the Vikings to land on mainland North America and, in fact, in Canada, where Thanksgiving is observed on its correct date.

An international soccer friendly scheduled for today in Chicago between Belize and Venezuela was canceled after the Belize Football Federation pulled out, citing that the "political, social, and security situation in Chicago" made it unsafe for their team to travel

FFB Announces Cancellation of Friendly Match Against Venezuela Due to Force Majeure
The Football Federation of Belize informs the public and our entire football family of the official cancellation of the international friendly match between the national teams of Belize and Venezuela, which was scheduled to take place in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
This cancellation has been communicated by the match organizers, VMG Sports & Entertainment LLC, citing force majeure circumstances related to the current political, social, and security situation in the city of Chicago. According to the organizers, these conditions have made it impossible to guarantee the minimum safety, logistical, and financial standards required for an international event of this nature.
Initial efforts were made to explore alternative venues, including a potential relocation to Miami, however challenges, particularly regarding public attendance, operational feasibility, and financial sustainability made that option unfeasible.
While the Football Federation of Belize regrets the cancellation of this match, we take this time to express our sincere gratitude to our players, coaching staff, fans, and partners for their understanding and support. Above all, we reiterate that the safety and well-being of our players and coaches remains our top priority.
The FFB remains committed to pursuing future international opportunities that provide meaningful experience for our national teams under safe and stable conditions.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

Really much more frustrated with the bats than the pitching in this game. If you had told me the Jays pitching had limited this Seattle offense to 3 runs through 8, I'd have assumed the Jays would be winning

I know people are already panicking about the Leafs 5v5 performance so far... After... *2 games*...

They sit at 40% 5v5 xGF which is bad.

But...

Tampa sits at 33.7%.

Winnipeg sits at 38.7%

Detroit and Anaheim sit at 61%.

People need to *RELAX*.

It's been TWO GAMES.
