Just FYI for those of you who didn’t follow me on The Cursed Site—I’m very passionate about dog rescue and fostered roughly a dozen dogs, two of which became service dogs, so I’m gonna repost rescue stuff from time to time.

I wouldn’t make it that cut and dried, Hakstol has arrived and the power play scheme is almost the exact same. Bednar still very much has a say on all things special teams.

Now I’ll say that I would much rather have a bad power play and good everything else than last year around this time when the power play was doing fine but the goaltending was the worst in the league.

Plenty of time to fix it but…let’s get going already, Jared!

I’ve been pissed since their popcorn fart man-advantage literally cost them the series against Dallas. And so they fired Bennett and rolled out the same exact garbage—no, I think it’s actually WORSE—than they had last postseason.

I’m glad they’ve started out so well but there’s no excuse for this.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.
#NoKings

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

The Dark Crystal. It’s so damned subversive it almost shouldn’t be a kids film, but if it were any less so it wouldn’t have been nearly as good.

The show IMO never once tried to veer away from the fact that Walter White was just a sad, broken man who just wanted to be known for something big (which is why he wanted to be caught) and there was this dudebro legion who thought he was such a badass, and Skyler was an evil bitch.

I'm sort of rewatching Breaking Bad and it's wild how hated Skyler was.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

I’m not worried about Gabe, and slow starts are nothing new for Nuke. But I’m still skeptical on Nelson. So far I’m just…not a fan. Would love it if he proves me wrong.

Good news: 3-0-1 is a very good start by any measure.

More good news: Scott Wedgewood has been fantastic filling in for the injured MacKenzie Blackwood.

Bad news: The very expensive second line is literally the only Avs line that hasn’t scored a single goal this season so far.
