So how long are we thinking before McKenna gets sent back to the CHL? Does he get the full 9 games?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz
Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

Maybe I just like hating on the Leafs, but after everything Bowness said was wrong with the culture in Columbus last year, I'd be more than a little wary on the idea of taking on one of their big guys for 7 years without seeing how he interacts with your group. But what do I know.

This whole Mitch McConnell thing is kinda sweet, when you think of it. All of his longtime colleagues want to make sure his death reflects the way he lived: an abhorrent display of partisan hackery. Symmetry.

Tee hee hee From Bruce Garrioch this morning. Love G.
Text from Bruce Garrioch's article about the upcoming Girioux extension:

"The Citizen also reported that the Toronto Maple Leafs were interested, along with the Edmonton Oilers. The talk is that the Leafs offered Giroux the biggest contract, but Toronto isn’t the type of market that fits the mould for the kind of player that he is."

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would have to earn a dollar a year for a trillion years straight to have that much money.

My kid just watched a show where the main characters all fell into a black hole, but were conveniently spat out of a nearby white hole. I found myself advising "In general, it's probably much safer to stay out of the black hole altogether." Not sure why I felt this advice was really needed.

Spent the week recovering from a hip replacement. Just so much time in bed looking at screens. I don't know if increasing by less than two hours is impressive, or an incredible indictment on how I normally live.

Trying to decide what's funnier, the headline, the photo, or the fact that this is an article on aol dot com.
AOL headline reads: "Keir Starmer raises eyebrows as he proudly declares himself a 'gooner'"

The accompanying photo is of Keir Starmer looking his usual awkward self in the UK parliament. 

The photo caption reads "The slang term has two meanings in the U.K. and U.S. respectively."

There's a car often parked on my street that has enough random letters to make it seem a randomly assigned plate, but also kinda looks like CUCK 69, with a few random letters/numbers thrown in, and I need to know if the person knows what their plate looks like.
