Okay, I finally got to finishing @brendanfromndg.bsky.social's book Habs Nation and, as a lifelong American #GoHabsGo fan who went to McGill during the mixed-success 2000-04 (was at Saku's return) and a Quebecois sponge, it was a fascinating read. Would love to see how the last chapter gets revised.
Not sure how we ended up with mail today but @brendanfromndg.bsky.social's new book arrived.

I was wearing my #GoHabsGo 2016 Winter Classic jersey and a guy from Montreal who's visiting the area but was at the game last night stopped me in the aisle at Wegmans and we talked Canadiens for about an hour and man did I need that.

Competence isn't an excuse for violation of sovereignty (else other countries besides Russia would've violated ours a long time ago). Someone check Polymarket though.

The ontology of necropolitics.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
