Happy to be here as of January 2024 and leave twitter after almost 13 years. Love not hate. Back in the day you needed to wait for a code to join this place, that's how I got in. Oilers | Blue Jays Cape Breton | Oshawa | ibwsurveyors.com

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister. Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Clay Bennett nails it.

Gretzky is allowed to choose to have fascists as his friends and to be maple MAGA and show more support for the American team than he did the Canadian one. That’s freedom! Canadians are also allowed to be mad at him and call him a traitor for those choices. That’s also freedom!

Today I had a preventative colonoscopy done which meant care from about 12 different hospital staff. The care was amazing, just as the majority of my hospital experiences have been. Polyps removed and good to go. The fee was $0. Get out and #vote #onpoli #Ontario to protect what you priorotize.

hard to overstate how much the ethos of silicon valley is that you don’t ask a “””legacy””” expert anything because you think you can do it better

Happy to read this: CanMNT coach Marsch urges Trump to drop 'ridiculous' talk of annexing Canada thescore.com/topsn/news/3...

A small difference, now he (Putin) is sitting in Washington! 🙂

CONNOR MCDAVID IS THE HERO FOR CANADA IN OVERTIME 🇨🇦 #4Nations

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Invictus Games has a message for “Our American friends” that I think nails how a lot of Canadians feel right now. Some friendships are worth fighting for.

Howling

three fights and we're not 10 seconds into the USA-Canada 4 Nations Face-Off game this is the most lit thing i've ever seen

The NHL/NHLPA announcement about a 2028 World Cup has been mostly welcomed in North America, but the response in Europe has been muted. The @iihfhockey.bsky.social wasn’t aware the announcement was coming, nor were most other European hockey stakeholders. There are a number of issues looming: 🧵 1/7

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

No idea. ❤️

I wrote something based on @andycraig.bsky.social's oped about the new "free speech crisis" specifically calling out how the biggest attackers of free speech use the language of free speech to suppress the speech of others. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/31/t...

Sam Altman is washed - the Mark Sanchez of Silicon Valley. His butt fumble moment was releasing the "Operator" agent that doesn't work at all 5 days before DeepSeek blew up. Much like Sanchez, Altman has outstayed his welcome, and will be seen as a historic bust. Yes, Silicon Valley is the Jets.

I hope EVERY North Carolina VOTER shares their thoughts on Senator Tillis with his office. DC Phone: (202) 224-6342

Have another big post today on the importance of Bluesky/ATprotocol/decentralization, but also hoping to get people to understand the path forward is taking control over their own social media experience... www.techdirt.com/2025/01/27/e...

Elliotte Friedman is reporting that Kotkaniemi is NOT part of the trade. Buckle up, folks. Even the insiders have no idea what's going on right now!

Up with Costco, and I’m not just saying that because of the hot dog and a drink deal

The one who gets it

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

Connor McDavid gets three games for his crosscheck against Vancouver, and the superstar seems to be snapping a little more than usual. Maybe the NHL should look at, you know, not letting other players wrestle him like a steer at a country fair. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...

I am so angry right now. Not that Sasaki went to LA, but that #Bluejays flushed $11 million+ trying to sign him. That is an gobsmacking amount of incompetence. Finishing second again AND breaking the bank to do it. I’m not disappointed, I’m furious. Will reply to y’all post-Shabbat dinner.

Inspirational thought of the day

Very grateful I left X two years before this wildfire and never used Facebook or Threads for news. It’s clear which of my friends still use X by how crazed they are by the bullshit right wingers are spewing. Misinformation is actively harming people who are grieving and also disaster efforts.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

I've been thinking about this: if you want to restore purpose to masculinity, responsibility to take care of others has to be the top of the list.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social. I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be: “Newspapers die in cowardice.” anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Account on Substack by Ann Telnaes of the killing of her cartoon by Washington Post management. Plus a copy of her rejected "rough". #EditorialCartoon #Witness #IResist #News

Once again, we need anti-SLAPP laws in every state and a federal anti-SLAPP law. You shouldn't be able to sue a publisher because you disagree with the framing of their accurate story.

Has been spoken about for years with little movement from IIHF. Sure you’d get a lot of the same players from U18 to U20, but happens a lot for the men’s too. It also doesn’t help that in Ontario, the U22Elite is still considered “minor hockey” by OWHA when it is Junior www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

No water and requires shovelling, but always peaceful.

It will soon be 50 years of a men's World Junior tournament, while the IIHF continues to exclude women. When will a women's #WorldJuniors tournament come? thehockeynews.com/womens/inter...
