58 points for Hutson. 53 assists. 2 back of Chelios for 2nd in assists all-time rookie.
The greatest rookie season for points in the history of the NHL.
Lane Hutson is 10th. The other nine all from an era when the total goals in a game averaged 11; not 6.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

A bit more than 50 years later, it's the 4 Nations and the U.S. is the evil empire.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

*Such* an important point.
It is only when tech-bro/finance savant talks about something *you know directly* that you realize: "If I hadn't heard he was a 'genius' I'd think he sounds like an absolute idiot"
Musk has made mistake of delving into gov/media world lots of people actually know about.

this is what long-time Elon watchers call "The Realization": when Elon stumbles into your area of expertise, and you realize everyone just gives the guy the benefit of the doubt because he talks about complicated things people don't pay attention to
I’ve been thinking about how monumentally stupid the Elon video game cheating thing is and I think it comes back to this post
there aren’t a ton of people who work in cars, or rockets, or even software
but everyone - everyone! - understands cheating at video games
totally unnecessary self-own

Something I'd like an expert in original Gilded Age to write:
Overall, are the plutocrats of this era—Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Thiel etc—greedier, ethically weaker, and more globally destructive than their earlier counterparts?
Or not quite as bad? A toss-up?
Look forward to reading the answer.
