I dislike all the team hats. Wish they were better. Like, how does Japan not have awesome unis and hats? They are called Samurai Japan! So much to work with!

Bam Adebayo took 44 free throws tonight

Steph Curry took 47 free throws over 10 games in November

43 FT attempts is insane.

Putting aside the Liberal majority stuff, you have to wonder how much of that is based on whoever Idlout thinks is about to become next NDP leader.

Another embarrassing statement by our Prime Minister.

Appalling. The police commission approving this trip needs serious scrutiny as well. #yegcc

I do wish I could be in Palm Springs or Phoenix right now. So tired of winter.

Right now, the only recourse I have against a regime that wants to conquer my country is economic action. Also, visiting there right now feels like visiting Germany in 1933. I’ll find joy in other places, like Calgary. 🀣

Me too, though the chances of me ever entering the United States again become more remote by the day.

Some days it all feels worse. Today was one of those days.

The widely used satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, has announced there will now be a two week delay on imagery related to the current conflict in Iran to commercial customers.

Sigh. Really feels like the Eagles are being punished for drafting well. Losing Blankenship and Dean hurts.

"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.

I really do hate to be that guy in this instance, but it’s not the only paper to have done so.

Books. Hobbit, LOTR, then Silmarillion if you want to get really into it. Don’t watch the Peter Jackson movies. I know people love them, but there’s lots wrong with them in terms of plot, character motivation and themes.

Things in the U.S. are going to come to a head in the next month. I don’t think they are getting to November.

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

β€œWitnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization.”

(Israel has history in Gaza of dressing up as medics to infiltrate hospitals and kill people. Same playbook but Lebanon.)

Trump dogwalked into an escalating global war by Netanyahu and Christian nationalists.

What could go wrong?

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
