Anyone else getting more buffering than usual watching #4Nations on #YouTubeTV? Now getting a “we’ll be right back.” Wondering if the streaming load is more than they expected.

Not a #hockey guy, but a HUGE #Shorsey guy. Maybe that’s just a hockey thing, but loved the US roster shoutout for the #4Nations Shorsey-style.

Impressed by the #4Nations crowd during the Canadian anthem. Started with some boos, but clearly people in the crowd shushed folks. By then end, you could hear all the Canadian fans singing. Nice to see a little civility by US fans.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

"Spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." "A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call ... from a lawyer at X. The message was clear ... Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." A merger could be tanked. Gift!
