Well, I’ll be spending exactly $0. So somebody else will have to take up the slack.

I have watched a lot of movies and tbh having the POTUS, VP, Defense Secretary, and Sec of State all eating at the same seafood restaurant on the same night seems like a really bad idea or a really funny idea, depending on how it goes.

Growing up I heard a lot about Ken Dryden but never had a chance to see him play, as he retired when I was only 2. Then when I was in my 20s I read his classic book, The Game. It was not only insightful, it was damn near poetry.

Tributes pour in for hockey legend, former politician and author Ken Dryden | CBC News

Tributes are pouring in from across Canada and beyond after former Montreal Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden — a legend of Canadian hockey — died at the age of 78.

Thanks! I had never heard of Kanopy before, so I just checked and my city’s public library has it!

There are few things I agree with Moe on, but I agree on this. EVs in Canada are too expensive for most people and we need cheaper options if we are going to be serious about transitioning to them. Chinese vehicles are part of the answer.

John Brophy has my vote as worst coach. Not only for his poor record, but Leafs would have drafted Joe Sakic if Brophy hadn’t used his influence as Ballard’s favourite to overrule the GM.

I read this book and thought it was great! I’m sure you’ll have many better selling books ahead of you.

“Terrorist” is what you call a truth-teller in a fascist regime.

The IDF says it has killed the Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif. He and the four other members his team were killed. In an announcement, the IDF claims al-Sharif was the head of a Hamas terrorist cell. Will we see any evidence? 186 journalists have now been killed in Gaza in the past 22 months.

The tech industry has captured our imaginations, in part because we’ve lost a vision for a better future.

@danmcquillan.bsky.social explains how decomputing isn’t just about exerting control over technology; it’s about imagining a better world.

I’m really enjoying the album for this and will probably end up buying the film, too. Such a cool concept.

It’s hard to see where he fits in with the Leafs current roster. I hope they can get a good return.

mikesasky @mikesasky.bsky.social · Jul 20

I didn’t realize he hadn’t retired yet. Such a great career, though.

I hope that when this madness is finally over, people remember which institutions and individuals kowtowed to this regime, and remind everyone about it relentlessly.

I don’t know why the trade off always has to be cuts to social spending. He doesn’t seem to even be considering increasing taxes on the wealthy.
