“Raises questions”

How is “electoral finance reform is existential” not the top takeaway from the Trump-Musk drama? So glad to live in a country with sensible political fundraising & spending laws.

Ukraine has another good day vs Russia; Wilders is out of govt in the Netherlands; and this 🤡 is justly rewarded for his 🤡ing. It’s a good day.

Wilders is een puber die bij elk tegenwindje roept ‘ik loop weg’, om 5 minuten later weer met z’n Eastpack op de rug terug te keren. Hoe in hemelsnaam zien zo veel mensen ‘leiderschap’ in deze eeuwige flapdrol van een sneeuwvlok?

The idea that having a cadre of professional political staff who are well trained in key areas is at odds with bringing individuals from diverse professional backgrounds inside is… wrong.

Dude sucker punches a guy whose arms are being held by a ref. Domi drills a guy in the numbers into the boards. Both of them get fined a cup of coffee. NHL demonstrating that 1) it isn’t prepared to create strong incentives to protect players; and 2) don’t care about growing game.
