Every accusation is a confession: He has no idea what Ft. Sumter was.
Q: Gov. Walz recently likened the conflict on the ground to Ft. Sumter, implying that this is the beginning of civil war. Do you feel there's a civil war brewing in Minneapolis?

TRUMP: Does he know what Ft. Sumter was or do you think somebody wrote it out for him? I was elected on law and order

If the will of one man is all it takes to invalidate the U.S. constitution in one year, there can be no trust placed in the U.S. for generations after that man is gone.

The Canucks are, like, 9 points clear in last place. The tank is totally safe if they win a few here and there.

“Reality” should have “set in” about a decade or more ago, when Linden was pushing for it.
Oilers Now (Jan 14): Pierre LeBrun says reality has set in for Vancouver about a rebuild and they are listening on anyone including Pettersson.
“All bets are off.”

But what about fucking second breakfast?
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

I just can’t with this team anymore. Fire everybody, and sell the team to someone competent.
As per Emily Kaplan, the #Canucks have traded Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild for Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren and 1st round pick

Now there’s a guy who the Canucks could use right now.
Bo Horvat opened the scoring in the battle of New York and became the fifth different /NYIslanders player since 1992-93 to reach 10 goals in a season in 15 games or fewer. #NHLStats

Reminds me of the classic line from @passittobulis.bsky.social and @harrisonmooney.bsky.social ‘s “I Need Bonino”: “Be a better human than Kes.”
Ryan Kesler, former Canucks and Ducks center, has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of criminal sexual conduct, according to Michigan court records. He's pleading not guilty.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

If you’re seeing this ad on YouTube, don’t click. It’s AI-generated bullshit, linking to a form of some sort, and, I would guess, a total scam.

I’ve seen it a few times over the past few days and reported it. Google/YouTube seemingly doesn’t care.
