Is this a hockey game or a fight? #FourNations

I have the Four Nations US/Canada game on. Despite the announcer asking that people refrain, there was still booing. Also, I've never learned the French version of O Canada.

Since I enjoyed watching baseball last season, I'm thinking I should pick a team to root for. Maybe the Blue Jays since they're the closest. Thoughts welcome.

Dear workers who have not previously organized in a hostile workplace: 1) Do not use your company's messaging system to talk to your coworkers 2) Do not use company hardware (laptops, phones) to talk to your coworkers. 3) Do not sign up to receive organizing msgs with your company email address

One unanticipated side effect of the Trump/Musk administration was how much I'd have to see their horrible faces in news stories on here.

Can you find the cat in this picture?

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social & @yrfatfriend.bsky.social have done two excellent episodes about what an absolutely deranged weirdo RFK Jr is, fyi.

Leave Substack, please, god damn it

Jesus Christ. Whoever designed the high-number gate area at Gate C in Charlotte needs to be whipped. This is chaos.

Was interesting talking with our concierge in Jamaica after she confirmed we're not trumpers. She said, "I watch CNN. What the heck is going on up there?" Friend, I wish I could adequately answer that.

It's fun watching fireworks on TV while hearing them outside.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate! 🕎🕎🕎🕎🕎 Happy Wednesday to everyone else. 📅

Keep thinking someone saying they didn't "get" Hozier. You don't get Orpheus anxiously looking over his shoulder only to watch Eurydice fade to ash? You can't comprehend the joy of a dew drop on the first blooming daffodil of spring? You've NEVER wanted to climb a tall Irish man with long hair???
