You may not know the name Albertine Lapensée, but she was the first superstar of women's hockey in Canada. In her late-teens, she dominated the sport before abruptly quitting and disappearing from history when she was 20. This is her story. 📸 Montreal Star 🧵 1/10

Microsoft Fabric has a serious identity architecture problem. Items depend on the user and device (!) identity of whoever created or last modified them. Get a new computer? Suddenly all hell breaks loose and workloads are failing. How is this a thing in a SaaS platform? This is hostile architecture.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

Let’s play time machines. Balogun’s iffy red card stands, as it should have. The U.S. goes out and gets hammered by the same score. What do people say? Tough break. Poor Balogun. They handled it with class. Great tournament though. Terrible government, but maybe we’ve been too hard on the rest of them.

Now what happens? The U.S. goes out, gets hammered and people don’t just resent them, they’re laughing at them. They are a punchline. All the goodwill they’d earned in the first few weeks of this tournament has evaporated. They aren’t just cheaters. They’re bad cheaters.
