Lotta breakaways, can't keep hoping that they'll keep missing the net. #CarolinaCulture
As good as our forecheck looks, the defense has been giving up some dangerous chances.

Seth Jarvis has as many goals as the Kraken's top line (McCann, Beniers, Kakko) combined.
Yet somehow they are 8-0-2 in their last 10 and have a 32% power play success rate since December.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

If you're not willing to arrest the killer, don't arrest the demonstrators.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

In the first pd, had a faceoff between Trocheck and ELindholm; EL tossed, so Morgan Geekie came in.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

I've been testing Grok vs. ChatGPT and how they compare when generating deepfakes.
- ask the chatbot to search the web for photos of me and then regenerate me in a bikini: Grok complies; ChatGPT refuses

If the media keeps treating this as normal I don’t know how we all don’t end up just as whacked out after 3 more years of it.
COLLINS: If Machado gives you her Nobel Peace Prize, will that change your view about her running that country?
TRUMP: Well, I have to speak to her. I think it's very nice she wants to come in, and that's what I understand the reason is. Because Norway is very embarrassed by what took place.

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

Vance's response to ice murdering a woman & attacking a high school was that ice has "absolute immunity", and now he says that ice will begin "door to door investigations to check people's citizenship".

Also crazy that in 33 games (and with just seven games of prior North American experience), seventh-round pick Joel Nystrom was one of the most impactful rookies in the entire NHL this season per @domluszczyszyn's model.
