25.01.2026 06:07 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The Minnesota Wild did not postpone their game like the Timberwolves did in the NBA. It was a missed opportunity to amplify the message that the public wants this to stop immediately.
Very disappointed the NHL didnβt postpone all hockey games today, especially the Panthers v Minnesota Wild in the Twin Cities. All teams should have protested, like the Timberwolves did in the NBA. This shit is unacceptable and will only stop when the public makes it crystal clear we demand it now.

Gift link: What are we doing here? Abrams is not a reliable narrator at all. He glosses over and justifies the US-backed 1980s era human rights abuses in Latin America because they "thought they were fighting communism." Says Venezuela is different because current regime are "just criminals."

Robot man origin
Bob rozakis?
I never heard of robot man before, and then day after I bought this the kids put on a teen titans episode with doom patrol and robot man. His origin story as retold in the comic is nightmare fuel. This would have sent me into a doom spiral if I read it when I was a kid. (Also who is bob rozakis?)
