Looking for any newsletters/blogs with RSS feeds worth adding to Inoreader. I like reading about wine, tech commentary, reality TV news, advanced hockey analytics, and general left-wing politics. This is who I have already.

I cannot imagine this backfiring in any possible way. It’s not like the default ChatGPT being used as a girlfriend or therapist is already turning people’s brains into mush, or anything.
One of the biggest updates coming to ChatGPT is the ability to select from four new "personalities" for text-based responses. Here's how OpenAI describes each of them: Cynic: Sarcastic and dry, delivers blunt help with wit. Often teases, but provides direct, practical answers when it matters. Robot: Precise, efficient, and emotionless, delivering direct answers without extra words. Listener: Warm and laid-back, reflecting your thoughts back with calm clarity and light wit. Nerd: Playful and curious, explaining concepts clearly while celebrating knowledge and discovery.

Reading an old undergrad paper I wrote for no reason in particular.
“This paper argues that constitutional courts in semi-authoritarian post-Soviet states have failed at this goal, as they have been unable to act as independent democratizing forces and have instead been forced into illiberal behaviour which prioritizes their own survival instincts over all else. The failure of judicially-encouraged democratization can be attributed to three factors; first, the broad pro-democratic political role given to these courts via the Constitution which makes them attractive targets for politicization. Second, the flawed judicial selection processes that have placed the careers of constitutional judges in the hands of the political elite. And third, a lack of balance in the political arena between different political forces, often pro-democratic versus authoritarian, both during and after the writing of the constitution.”

Here’s a fun throwback of three Panthers holding Max Domi in the air. For no particular reason.
A photo from 2014 of Aaron Ekblad, Sam Bennett, and Sam Reinhart holding Max Domi above their heads in an on-ice photoshoot.

No penalty on the play.
Panthers player stick in Domi’s feet. Domi falls to his knees with Ekblad and Bennett both bearing down on him. Ekblad shoves Domi forward while Bennett drives his hip into Domi’s head. Domi wipes out and runs into Bobrovsky as a result, while Bennett elbows his own goalie in the head.

Seriously untouchable wine for the price. $24.95 CAD a bottle. So delicious — cherries, earth, leather, a little smoky, super generous acidity and a great finish. Has my mouth watering long after its gone.
A bottle of Tornatore Etna Rosso, an Italian red wine from Sicily made from vines planted near the active volcano Mount Etna. The bottle is 95% Nerello Mascalese and 5% Nerello Cappuccio grapes. The front of the bottle has TORNATORE in bold black letters, with ETNA ROSSO is the same font but red below it. Next to the bottle, a wide-shouldered wine glass with a little bit of the wine remaining in it (I drank the rest…).

Like you can make any of these look AWFUL if you pause at the right time.
An ungenerous pause of the Pacioretty hit on Sturm that makes it look primarily on the head. An ungenerous screenshot of the Kulikov hit on Holmberg making it appear that it is primarily head contact.

Honestly went through the exact same thing a few times before I got through a season. Bet having the basics down of the UK one is gonna help a lot this time

Also use this for the first couple eps to save yourself the confusion of who is who, saved my ass until I was used to everyone.

I love Habs fan brain, man, good lord.

Ftr, the Habs have lost the 2nd least salary to injury this season in the division.
A post reading: “Here are the records of the top five teams in the Atlantic Division since Laine joined the Habs: OTT 32-17-4 68 TBL 32-17-2 66 TOR 32-18-2 66 MTL 30-17-6 66 FLA 29-20-3 61 The Habs are 10-3 against the other four clubs this season. It's safe to say the Atlantic is a toss-up.”

First of hopefully many bottles of 2023’s quintessential Niagara Pinot. #vqa #winesky
An empty bottle of wine with a white label reading: BACHELDER LES VILLAGES BENCH 2023 PINOT NOIR - VQA NIAGARA ESCARPMENT. Next to the bottle is a stemmed wine glass 1/4 full with a transparent bright red wine.

Also opened two 1997s, one was way tainted, the other had some decent acid and bruised apple still.

And then this, the star of the show. 1998 Vineland Late Harvest Vidal. Still perfect. Vanilla, molasses, sarsaparilla. So stupidly good. #vqa #winesky

1998 Vineland Semi-Dry Riesling from VQA Niagara Peninsula. Unfortunately stored poorly + the cork was unrecoverably-soft so we’ve got some definite floaties… Way past prime, but there’s still some Riesling notes in there worth exploring!

Undisputed euchre champ with this hand on the game-winning point.
A perfect euchre hand of the jack of hearts plus ace, king, and queen of diamonds, with the jack of diamonds as the up card. The hand is unbeatable.

2016 Bachelder Wismer-Wingfield ‘Ouest’ Chardonnay. Absolutely delicious. Great body, mild orchard apple + oak spice. A good indicator of how well Niagara Chards can hold + develop for 5-10 years. #winesky #wine #VQA
