The character Masaru from the film Akira. He is a child but his body is more like a middle-aged man. He wears a suit that strains against the buttons across his belly and sits in a futuristic floating chair that is bubble-shaped. His pudgy hands rest on the edges as he glares out from under a glass canopy.  He looks very much like the weirdly photoshopped picture of Ken Paxton that is used in the quote repost below

I have no idea why I said instagram instead of Linkedin, but it's not as embarrassing for me as it is for the Red Wings that this was the platform used for such mealy-mouthed milquetoast fuckuppery

Chris Ilitch on instagram (as taken from a site that doesn't deserve traffic). Full text is in the alt text. All I will say here is that if Chris truly feels the same way as the fans who were at the LCA on opening night, he would already be selling the team.
From Chris Ilitch on Linkedin

Opening night in the NHL is always something special. And Friday night, as our Detroit Red Wings began a new season at Little Caesar's Arena, Hockeytown showed up.

A century of hockey, and more Stanley Cup wins than any other American NHL team, only happens with dedication and resilience. That Red Wings spirit is a constant through the seasons, from the coaches and players to the arena staff -- like our incredible Ice Crew and broadcasters -- and of course, generations of fans. I enjoyed visiting with many of them before the game to thank them for their part in our story and continuing it forward.

At the same time, I recognize fan frustrations. I get it and certainly feel the same. Like our city, the Red Wings have experienced incredible triumphs and faced difficult challenges but have always met them with grit and determination.

As the franchise begins its 101st season, I remain focused on building the championship-level organization that our Red Wings family and friends deserve

I know our national attention span is gone & that's bad, but when you get a guy appearing on two different national news networks saying he went to heaven and met muscular sexyboy Jesus but he won't be a celebrity long enough to show how full of shit he is, then that's where the harm truly lies.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

The extra funds people pay that are referenced in this letter is tied to their earnings because the subsidies available don't cover them (they make too much). Those subsidies are about to go away for millions more Americans despite them not making nearly as much as the people receiving these checks

Mario Lemieux and Patrick Roy were born on the exact same date which is a neat factoid for two very good hockey players and also an annoying factoid for two miserable shitweasels who still don't get a fraction of the scorn they deserve.

The most hopium I can huff about Detroit right now is that they somehow trade Dylan Larkin for a new Simon Edvinsson and then they trade Simon Edvinsson for a new Dylan Larkin

Someone on here called Chris Ilitch a "Nero Baby" rather than a "Nepo Baby" by accident, and I love how much this works on multiple levels.

The worst person in this story is the truck driver's mother, who is the very embodiment of the concept of "America has a whole lot of racism, but hardly any racists." She invents a danger to her son from a group that her politics are trying to crush & doesn't want to understand them at all.

It's got to be super-embarrassing to be an NHL city starting with the letter D getting shut out in your home opener to a blue-shirted team with low expectations for the season. Hard to come back from that kind of shame.

I'm going to be honest: Jack Hughes not appreciating a joke about him being injury-prone during an intermission interview is perfectly fine. Learning that he also apparently blew off his fans at the home opener is the shit I think is criticism-worthy.

The Kansas legislature has held a veto-proof republican majority since 2010 but they can't run on their own record because mostly it's a record of the democrat governor saying no to batshit things that their own moderates know were too stupid to push through a veto.
A clipping of a political mailer with the words "this dumb asshole says he stands strong against the radical left taking over Topeka"  - I have added the part that says this dumb asshole says to replace the candidate's actual name.

If the league even bothers approaching the NHLPA about these clauses, the NHLPA should immediately demand that the maximum age for UFA eligibility be moved from 27 to 21 Dylan Larkin can get fucked, but NTC/NMC is your price for making players wait so long to qualify for any real leverage.

JD Vance is the Olive Garden waiter who thought it was funny when nobody said "when" on the cheese 40 seconds ago and is now on the very edge of just committing to going to get more cheese out of the back to continue covering his customer's plate Except the cheese in this analogy is racism.

I get you need to keep interest up where there's no real update, but framing this as "Quinn Hughes has not granted permission for his GM to talk to him" is objectively stupid.

I think we need politicians after the midterms to go pretty hard at corporate media for being uninterested in the lives of ordinary Americans and by the 2030 election we need Jeff Bezos to be so afraid of what we've done to Elon Musk that he ends up doing what historians call a "Triple Carnegie"

It feels like in previous cycles, stories like this tended to lean mostly towards people you know would vote Republican but didn't want to be called racist whereas this one feels much more like people who want to vote Dem if the party would just grow a spine.
