It's so wild to me that Ernie Clement wasn't good enough for the A's only two years ago.

I can't really explain why, but it feels like whichever quality is more important to the sentence should be the second adjective.

Utah Republicans ignore study supporting gender-affirming care for trans youth. It's research they demanded In 2023, the state legislature banned care for transgender youth β€œpending research.” The research is in β€” and inconvenient for Republicans.

Opponents of transgender rights have claimed not enough research exists on care for trans kids. β€œHowever, results from our exhaustive literature searches have led us to the opposite conclusion,” the report commissioned by Utah Republicans states.

Berube's job is to get this team to the next round. What he focuses on, the players will focus on. There's always time for revenge later. Priority needs to be on doing what it takes to win 3 of the next 6 games.

Sucks that the Met Gala is raising all this money just to pay it to Bobby Bonilla

How do you incentivize capitalists to be compassionate? Capitalists by definition consider extracting the most profit as their number one priority.

So the clear strategy from here is to play Nick Robertson only every other game, right?

If Marner won't resign with the Leafs, and McDavid won't sign an extension with the Oilers, is there a universe where the two teams work out a sign-and-trade swap?

Nah, Bennett hasn't even hit 50 points once in his career (though he probably will this year). Good overall player, but has never produced on Tavares' level.

Second-line centres: besides Draisaitl, is there any other second-line centre in the NHL that's better than Tavares?

You've been asking yourself "where is the Canadian guy"? But you knew he would show up just when we needed him.

One notable thing about the whole Gulf of Mexico/America thing, it shows that conservatives actually have no problem accepting and using new post-transition names. If they can avoid deadnaming a body of water, they can avoid deadnaming people.

Up by 34 with 8 minutes to go, the Eagles could actually just take a knee every time they get the ball and run out the clock for the rest of the game.

This morning:
Trudeau "Fuck you Donald, we're giving you nothing, and doing nothing different than what we were already doing."

This afternoon:

A brief history of the tariff nonsense:

3 days ago:
Trump "Tariffs on Canada unless you fix the border!"

2 days ago:
Trudeau "Tariffs on America because you're being an ass."

Yesterday:
Trump "Nothing Trudeau can offer will cancel tariffs unless they become the 51st state!"
