So excited for the Edmonton Oilers season to get underway today. The team is starting with some injuries but, luckily, their first game is against the Canucks.

"Democrats don't have any income" is an insane statement, but it's also an admission that he sees the money collected by the United States government as his personal piggy bank, to be raided as he sees fit.

So let me get this straight, it’s ok for you ignorant twats to interfere in our elections and pressure our businesses to move there, but you are threatening us when we are NOT doing the same? Please, take your fucking threats and shove them up your collective asses 🤣 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Trump trade adviser says Canada will 'pay even more dearly' if 'you interfere' in U.S. midterms | CBC News
One of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it "interferes" in the upcoming midterm elections — though it's not clear what he anticipates the country...

I think Toronto gets the best player, but Columbus did better than people expected. Knies is signed long term at what is now a value contract, and is a genuine top 6 forward. It will be interesting to see how he fits with Fantilli.

Trump is so desperate to change the narrative ahead of the midterms that he is now breaking the law by using YOUR tax dollars on campaign ads. That sh*t ain't legal. Your hard-earned money should go toward lowering costs, not boosting Trump's approval ratings.

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖
A digital portrait of Lucille Désirée Ball (1911–1989), the legendary Emmy-winning actress, studio mogul, and "Godmother of Star Trek" whose decisive studio leadership famously saved the franchise from cancellation. This artwork is an AI-adjusted version of an original piece by artist Jamie Fay—which initially depicted her in Captain Janeway’s uniform—now modified to show her in an Original Series Starfleet uniform. Ball sits confidently in a prominent command chair on a starship bridge, legs elegantly crossed at the knee and hands resting on the armrests. She wears a form-fitting, gold command-division tunic featuring a classic black collar, rank braids on the cuffs, and the iconic Starfleet delta insignia pinned to her chest, paired with sharp black trousers and low-heeled black boots. Her signature red hair is styled into an elegant upward coiffure, framing a poised, contemplative expression as she gazes slightly away from the viewer. The background features a sweeping, cinematic view of a colorful interstellar nebula glowing with purple, green, and blue cosmic stardust. The overall composition blends mid-century Hollywood glamour with classic sci-fi iconography, evoking an empowering, authoritative mood that celebrates her immense historical impact on television history.

Democrats say the midterms are about the price of gas, food, and healthcare. Republicans say the midterms are about a trans kid who once played high school sports. Donald Trump says the midterms are about a gold-embossed arch and ballroom. Weary voters just want peace and quiet.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Trump has pardoned a fair number of people convicted of fraud. Those pardons also relieve them of the responsibility for restitution to those folks they ripped off. So consider the following example…
