Republicans Don’t Know Ball Update: A hockey blogger asked the two Michigan Senate candidates for statements on the Red Wings. Rogers: blah blah Michigan loves the Red Wings El-Sayed: angry rant about how the cheap owners MUST pay Detroit’s young star defenseman octopusthrower.com/what-each-mi...
"Hockeytown, USA will always be a coveted destination for the world's top players,"
Rogers said. "The Detroit Red Wings boast one of the league's most storied and respected histories, dating back to their days as one of the Original Six franchises.
Few professional organizations can match the tradition, legacy and rpestige that define this iconic franchise. GO WINGS!""I was at the game when Darren McCarty took on Claude Lemieux," El-Sayed said.
"The '97 and '98 Stanley Cup championships are still highlights of my childhood. The teams the last few years have been a far cry from the Wings I came to love as a kid. They're stacking losing season on losing season, yet the llitch family's wealth has done nothing but grow.
Michiganders are sick of sky-high ticket and concession prices buying them nothing but disappointment."The team holding out on Simon Edvinsson is just the latest example in a long series of ownership prioritizing their bottom line over the team and the fans. Our teams aren't just assets for billionaires, they're part of our culture and heritage. Hockeytown deserves better."

Elon Musk has probably donated at least $400 million to PACs this year. Half of that has been to support Ken Paxton. The $276 million cited in the headline covers the last 3 months alone. He gave many millions more before that. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Which is why conventional measures such as GDP, productivity, and employment rates are less reflective of our lived experience. Who cares if the macroeconomic environment is healthy if we get less and less out of our work?

The private deliberations have focused on the Pentagon’s shrinking inventory of Patriot interceptors and other air defenses, the officials said, discussing operational matters on the condition of anonymity.

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf
213. The twentieth-century Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien, in the words of a protagonist in one of his novels, described our responsibility in this way: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

Facts are stubborn things, per @jvl.bsky.social
Oil is a commodity. The price of oil locally is roughly the price of oil globally. Why? Because if American producers can sell oil for $150 a barrel to South Korea, then they will not sell it for $70 a barrel in America.¹ The price of oil is the price of oil for the same reason that the price of gold is the price of gold. Uzbekistan has the largest gold mine in the world, but the price of gold in Uzbekistan will be roughly the same as it is in Tokyo.

That’s what the word “commodity” means.
