I love Jon Stewart but I think he's a little off base with this take. Are we supposed to not call out the overtly fascist stuff the government is doing? Will that get more people to listen the next time we have to call out an overtly fascistic act or will we have to hold our tongue then, as well? How many grannies need to be eaten and impersonated by wolves before we're allowed to move past the "ooh what sharp teeth you have" crap?

With fascism especially, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. The people going through life like everything is fine are implicitly supporting the fascism. I'm not going to stop yelling about how a pack of wolves has taken over the government, just because some people think the word is overused.

Jets are legit scary this year. They don't appear to have a weakness. And they can score goals like that. Definitely jumping on the bandwagon if my oily boys get bounced.

My brain accepted this new piece of information and immediately tried to recalibrate my sense of wellbeing based on how much time I spend playing cozy games.

So there was a bizarre moment where I felt positively dandy.

Did anyone else get a mental health buff just from reading this headline?

I'm willing to let him claim 'existential threat to the nation' as an extenuating circumstance.

We have to take that seriously, and we have to make sure that the taxpayers are protected.

If we want to protect taxpayers, we should actually expropriate the assets and tell the mining companies to kick bricks. I'd rather take the $16B hit than have to scrape selenium crust off my teeth whenever I take a sip of water.

I'm ashamed at having had a moment of celebration when the ceasefire happened. Treachery should have been obvious.

I was expecting this to be yet another transparent rug-pull scam, but I hadn't even considered he might pull the rug out from under the entire global economy (at least not this way). Scary thought.

Given how the hard the postmedia gang is trying to portray this guy as an international elite who looks down his nose at common folk, I wouldn't put it past the bootlickers over at the Edmonton Journal/Sun to pull a stunt like this.

To be fair though, Carney's entire campaign thus far has been focused on demonstrating humble roots in a blue-collar town. Well, Laurier Heights aint that humble. Not that a person's upbringing is necessarily relevant to their politics anyway. But that's my ultimate point here - none of this matters. The entire discourse is just meaningless idpol noise. Canadian politics are such a joy.

Yeah, non-portable audio players don't really seem to exist commercially as far as I can tell. I think a raspberry pi zero 2 would fit your needs rather well (it costs like $15), although the initial setup might constitute more hacking than you're willing to put up with.

Folks in russia are crazy about figure skating.

If it's through steam, I wouldn't expect there to be any issues.

Just make absolute certain you have a backup copy of any save files before deleting your current OS, for the sake of your relationship... I can only imagine how many hours someone might have put into a game that came out in 2009. Definitely not speaking from personal experience haha

If both engines failed, that means they would have lost hydraulic power too, which is probably the reason they couldn't extend the landing gear or try to go around a second time.

One of the theories floating around is that a bird strike caused one engine to flame out and the pilots pulled the cutoff switch on the wrong engine. It wouldn't be the first time something like that happened.

 

The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Leon Draisaitl to an eight-year contract extension starting in 2025-26 with an average annual value (AAV) of $14 million.

 

EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Oilers announced this morning they will not match contract offer sheets presented by the St. Louis Blues to forward Dylan Holloway and defenceman Philip Broberg.

As per NHL compensation guidelines, the Oilers will receive the Blues' second and third-round selections in the 2025 NHL Draft.

In a separate transaction with St. Louis, the Oilers have acquired the rights to defenceman Paul Fischer as well the Blues' third-round selection in the 2028 NHL Draft in exchange for future considerations.

Fischer is an unsigned selection from the 2023 NHL Draft (138th overall) entering his second season with Notre Dame (NCAA).

 

He stunned Markstrom with the intense, prolonged eye contact lmao
