Huh, just heard the official headcount from Trump's Birthday Boondoggle has been released. 8,647 attendees. 😉

I'll happily stand in support, whatever form it is that that takes.

I've heard that in order to do that, one should be prepared to eat a lot of peaches.

Mairidh gaol is ceòl. Love and music will endure.
I had a lovely encounter with someone this evening over this song tonight - and would encourage you to take its message to heart. When the going is tough, keep going. Reach out when you need to, but don't give up.

Shut Up and Kiss Me Wide Mouth Mason · No Bad Days · Song · 2011

Today, the song stuck in a loop in my head has been Wide Mouth Mason's "Shut Up and Kiss Me" which gets bonus points for being catchy and having a compellingly funky bass line. Have a go: open.spotify.com/track/3IlSor...

Okay, here's one for my fellow language nerds....

Do you think pets and wildlife in Estonia 🇪🇪 are...
Eesti beasties?

Ah, the front half of the double minor, since McCann stayed in the box? [Which then, as the irrepressible Mr. Forslund so aptly noted, became crowded, as Oleksiak and Bjorkstrand joined him.] Thanks for the clarification.

Any idea why the delayed call on Oleksiak which was pending a stoppage when Sherengovich scored wasn't invalidated by the goal? Having the goal awarded, the penalty assessed, and the lost challenge delay minor seemed like triple jeopardy.

Just because they had some conscience doesn't make them allied with me. McCain and Cheney? Stopped clocks.

It'd be a great excuse to remove them all and return it to something of an uncarved rock face.

But that the majority party thinks this sort of rubbish is worth spending gov't time or money on is just boggling.

Ann-Renée Desbiens (Mtl 35) covers the puck in a shower of ice during 3rd period action against the Boston Fleet in Seattle, Washington.

Well, since I made a PWHL Starter Pack and accidentally included myself it it, I guess I owe you some professional women's hockey content....

And such a well-fought game as well. The talent in this league is amazing, and I suspect it could double in size without diluting the calibre of play significantly.

Boston Fleet forward Taylor Girard focuses on a loose puck along the end boards. Or is looking into your soul.

Taylor Girard (Boston 17) of the @thepwhl.com Boston Fleet sees that you have her puck, and she's coming to take it back.

Covered the #PWHL Takeover Tour invasion of Seattle this weekend and got to see and photograph my two favourite teams in the league play. If there are other fans out there - particularly #BostonFleet or #VictoireDeMontréal - you might appreciate the gallery: www.crashingthenet.org/pwhl-takeove...

I think it's really unfair of the English to mock the Welsh for having placenames like Llanfairpwlgwnngogogoch - which adheres perfectly to the rules of Welsh pronunciation while having names like Featherstonhaugh, 'FAN-shaw.'Just de-colonize, already.

May those of you who celebrate Old Year's Death have a safe time with it. Don't become statistics yet.

Yours truly, in full-rig.

Nollaig chridheil agus bliadhna mhath ùr dhuibh, a bheathaichean salach! 🤣

The problem is that one side won't contextually recognize anything around "shall not be infringed" and the other side won't inform itself well enough to propose legislation which is much past political theatre.

Math fhèin!

Try mimicking that call. If you get it anywhere close, they'll start talking back to you. Corvidae seem to appreciate efforts to communicate with them.

Any chance of a forthcoming Android variant for those of us who don't use Things?

The first and third of these the PWHL used last year, the second is new this season.

It's good to see some level of professional hockey in North America not afraid to innovate in order to field a better product.

3) 3-2-1-0 point awards. Way better than the NHL version, where wins are 2 points whether in regulation or OT, but the losing team in OT gets a point, resulting in some games awarding 3 points while others only 1.
