Google AI tells us that Kane was a victim. Wikipedia buries the incident in a single paragraph in which goes into little detail except to throw mud on the accuser's mother and, by extension, the accuser herself.

Nobody who knows this much about John Denver's politics can be ignorant of his record of domestic violence, which means O'Leary has decided it just doesn't matter. That kind of thinking is why our culture routinely supports and protects abusers. (Screenshot bc QT and replies are disabled.)

NHLPA Statement re:NHL's Investigation of Mike Babcock

TORONTO (June 18, 2026) - The National Hockey League Players' Association today released the following statement regarding the completion of the NHL's investigation of Mike Babcock:

"While we found the allegations of Mike Babcock's conduct as the Columbus Blue Jackets' head coach very concerning, the League has decided that there is no current basis on which to restrict his employment. Moving forward, we expect that Mr. Babcock will uphold the high standards required of NHL head coaches."

We need to get better at quickly pivoting away when previously reliable sources no longer qualify as such. Unfortunately, that includes both the FDA and The New York Times. (I take no position on the accuracy of this specific article, because hell if I'm paying to access the Times.)

I also wrote to the New Jersey Devils, who are (predictably) using Jack Hughes's gold medal-clinching goal as a marketing tool.
Hi Melissa,
Thank you for contacting the New Jersey Devils. Your message is important to us and we will be in touch with you shortly.
For your records, here is what you submitted:
Date: Feb 23, 2026 3:34 PM 
Subject: Public Relations
Message: To the New Jersey Devils organization:

I have been a Devils fan since 1984, and I have never been as ashamed of a New Jersey player as I am right now of Jack Hughes.

Seeing him jump up and down and chant Toby Keith lyrics along with Kash Patel. Hearing him laugh as Donald Trump joked about 'having to' invite the US women's team to the White House. Knowing he will visit the White House, as well as act as a prop for this administration during the State of the Union. Recognizing his lack of respect for all the people Trump ostracizes, harms and even murders. All these things are very much at the front of my thoughts when I receive emails from the Devils celebrating Hughes's gold medal-winning goal.

No, I will not pay to watch him play hockey, because hockey is the least important thing about him. Until he demonstrates remorse and a true understanding of how repugnant his behavior has been over the past couple days, I will not even consider supporting the team in any way (and certainly not in any way that involves buying anything at all from the organization). This is infinitely more important than sports. Please impress upon the players that the world - and Devils fans - are watching. We see when they cozy up to fascists, and it makes us lose our appetite for all things New Jersey Devils.

Sincerely,
Melissa Geschwind

The email I sent, fwiw. I also included my hometown, just for emphasis. I cropped it out here for what I assume are obvious reasons.
To whom it may concern,

I am an American citizen and a former hockey journalist, and I cannot express how deeply ashamed I am of the conduct of the men's Olympic team.

The team's on-ice performance should be cause for celebration; instead, their enthusiastic postgame embrace of Kash Patel and Donald Trump shows them to be devoid of character and basic decency. These manchildren chose to celebrate their victory by chanting Toby Keith lyrics and belittling the gold medal-winning women's team alongside two of the most corrupt, bigoted and hateful people on the planet.

I am embarrassed, as you should be, of what this group of men is portraying to the world, and to their fellow Americans. I'm only glad I can still be proud of the women's team, and I hope the men learn - and learn soon - how many of us wish they had never donned the Team USA sweater.

Sincerely,
Melissa Geschwind

I have thoughts: 1. The fact that the artist is actively harming people is the key difference. Do not support living artists who do evil. 2. It doesn't help to gatekeep the quality of the art. Like it or not, the books are hugely popular & influential. Pretending otherwise is just gaslighting.

Gah, forgot Alt text. Including it here:
A bluesky post reading, "moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl."

I don't blame Canadians one bit for being angry & scared, but please understand that the thing you're afraid will happen to you *is happening to us right now.* We get why you're not in the mood to speak up for us; know that we're not speaking up for you bc we all our energy is going toward survival.

I could explain how I ended up in the corner of the internet that includes plus-size Sexy Cookie Monster lingerie, but why ruin the mystique?
 A typically skinny model in blue furry legwarmers, a blue leotard adorned with Cookie Monster-style eyes at the bust and a few cookie appliqués, a blue scarf and a blue hair bow with a cookie at its center. The product she is modeling is called "Plus Size Cookie Creature Costume" and is costs $93.46. No, seriously, that's the price. It is categorized as "Spicy Lingerie."
