Our Olympic women’s hockey deserves better than the leadership they have right now who built this roster focused on veterans over young talent. They’ve set them up for failure.

I may have found my new favourite Easter egg. From Homeland. Starring Mandy Patinkin.

The Commute Penalty “Travel time” may not be a sexy topic. But it’s a crucial factor in moms’ ability to work.

Having children “tends to coincide with a lasting drop in employment and earnings for moms but not dads”—and a growing body of research has identified a significant, underdiscussed factor perpetuating this disparity, Stephanie H. Murray writes:

Oh I’ve cracked NOTHING.

Deplaning OUTSIDE in Montreal when it feels like -11 seems like some sort of crime against humanity.

I don’t have a jacket.

…still here. This is going real well.

Let’s try this again, shall we? Maybe I’ll make it out of Ottawa today.

…..I jinxed myself.

I’m not saying I’ve cracked the “flying during winter in/from Canada” code, but there’s a reason I love a long layover on all stops.

If you’re on the fence about watching Heated Rivalry, just know that it includes a Montreal team winning the Cup multiple years in a row within recent history. The ultimate hockey fantasy we can all support.

I certainly hope Sutcliffe doesn’t plan on attending a single Charge game ever again. If it was the 67s needing bigger capacity this wouldn’t even be a question.

A carved pumpkin sits on a kitchen counter, lit from inside so the carving glows orange. The carving is the outline of a stylized bird head and maple leaf, resembling the Toronto Blue Jays logo. The kitchen in the background is softly lit, with cabinets, a plant, and framed art on the wall.

In this house, we are Halloween and World Series ready.

It had everything but the cats.

I hate sports right now.

I’ve given up even bothering to respond to messages like this. Restrict and move on.

CNN. The initial report, also called a bulletin, typically include all information gathered in an investigation so that agents anywhere will know what is being collected - but the information is not always correct. The ATF bulletin said that agents found engravings that they interpreted as "expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology" on ammunition inside a weapon believed to have been used in the murder of Kirk. Two law enforcement sources told CNN that agents quickly ran an initial search on one of the markings, including a series of arrows, which analysts initially interpreted to be a connection to the transgender community. That information remains unverified and is still being investigated.

The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.
