Todd: There's still something special about Canadiens-Avalanche games While broadcasters love to babble about NHL β€œrivalry” games these days, the Habs-Nordiques clashes provided unmatched drama.

Absolutely wild

Pretty sure we have that same thought every time a good person who is actually contributing something to the world dies while that vicious, corrupt, greedy, destructive whack job plods on.

They're so fucking desperate to peddle AI that it's popping up all over the pace where we don't need it and don't want it. And when you want a simple fact, it's still as reliable as a baby's bottom.

I just plain don't get the affection for Novak Djokovic. Yeah, he's a tennis machine. He's also an entitled jerk that thought his personal vaccine superstitions should prevail over an entire continent's attempt to stay healthy.
In my book he is and will always be a zero.

Oh Starbucks please I got that overwhelming need to stand in line so's I can pay $7.95 for a cup of stinky coffee that tastes like your usual monkey shit when there's a really good little coffee shop right across the corridor with friendly baristas and actual coffee at half the price...

Two strong games since they finally did the sensible thing and handed him the job. Montembeault might have found a way to lose last night too - there were some big stops before the game got totally out of hand.

They're not as bad as the Ballard years and I feel for Berube but after all the huff and puff of the past decade and watching every sports centre begin with 10 minutes on the Leafs, this is lovely.
To me, Auston Matthews IS the problem. Always has been. Until he's gone, they don't stand a chance.

ICE’s Terror Campaign Is Part of a Long American Tradition As a Black man, I know firsthand how often state violence is used to perpetuate white supremacy in this country.

"As a Black man, over-policing is something I’ve experienced my entire life...when I see federal agents in our cities and violent attacks by masked men, I recognize an old playbook dressed in new language," writes Robert Willis. https://bit.ly/4bFk6v9

96 court violations in less than one month is a damning number. That averaged more than three violations a day. Which means ICE has been largely lawless all year, and the stats support what our eyes see β€” from killings to kidnappings to terrorizing kids.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.

But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

Habs got a good defenceman they needed but it certainly wasn't a one-sided deal.

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.
