Maybe I'm just a sucker for a big choir, but this is probably my favorite version of Sondheim's most beautiful song.

The only Canadian billionaire I respect is Lawrence Stroll because the only thing he cares about doing with his money is buying increasingly expensive automotive companies so that his mediocre son can consistently finish 13th in F1 races

Love to pin the emotional state of an entire nation on a squirrely hothead who is, statistically, by a wide margin, the worst goalie in the NHL this season.

honestly a little embarrassed I let the pitch get as far as it did, but I’m fine with that if this helps any other tiny pubs avoid getting scammed.
Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

NEW: The next US Census likely won’t be good for New York. The state is projected to lose two congressional seats, and with them, two electoral votes for president.
One reason why blue states are losing ground: The red states build far more housing than they do.

New York Could Lose Seats in Congress Because It Won’t Build Housing
As housing construction booms in red states, blue states are falling behind. That will likely boost Republicans in federal politics.

Gotta give Italy credit for hanging in here. Only down one goal halfway through the third period against medal favorite Sweden is impressive.

Torontonians stopped going to Buffalo so someone decided to... bring Buffalo to Toronto? There's something very funny about this. Like a little EPCOT Center but for beef-on-weck and faded Jim Kelly posters without having to use a passport.

I have had no energy for cooking this week, and so have eaten a lot more junk than I normally do.
So the wise course would be to whip up a chicken fried rice thing for lunch, but the heart is telling me about the Pizza Pops in the freezer.

Enslaved persons did often work on ships but 1) All three cultures used sails to maximize wind power 2) most Roman rowers were not enslaved & thetes in Athens were poor but free men 3) most Punic rowers were freeborn. Slavery is so important to understand but let’s be intentional and factual.
