BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I mean, that ski jump really would have been competitive if they’d added the 3am 7-11 run with the Federalist No. 23.

Since we can’t give the MVP to Bad Bunny, we’re giving it to the kicker, right?

I like my bookstores independent, my Portland weird, my commas Oxford, and my Supreme Court guided by legal precedent and ethics rather than vibes and emotional support billionaires. @leahlitman.bsky.social

And actually, we don’t even need the officials to be there. Let’s dive into some obscure club history, where the Devils and Whalers invoked rule 31.11 and had their injured players officiate the first period of a game.

Yup. I remember a game in a blizzard in Hartford during my youth with establishing shots of people on cross country skis skiing through the streets to get to the game.
