you cannot kill people just like that (especially as a public servant)

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Time and time again, the Calgary #Flames refuse to properly rebuild in fear of becoming the Buffalo Sabres.
Newsflash, they already are the Buffalo Sabres.
Newsflash, they already are the Buffalo Sabres.
The Calgary Flames are scared of becoming the Buffalo Sabres. The numbers say they already are.
In a season in which the Calgary Flames have sat in the basement of the NHL standings for over two months, the organization continues to move forward business as usual. Now entering the midway point of the 2025-26 season with the playoffs a distant dream, the organization refuses to admit defeat. Whether it's directly from team President Dan Maloney or countless NHL insiders, we continue to hear that this team has no plans to rebuild.

I will write some docs, improve the scraper, etc. eventually
✨it notably includes an xG model i built (model gives lower xG values than most other models [can mean I am dumb lol], so expect lots of goals scored above expected)

NEW: A newly enacted NY state law requires retailers to reveal whether it used "surveillance pricing" to decide how much you pay for goods. Target, for example, shows the alert on a pop-up when you try to buy eggs online. @regret.bsky.social—@wired.com's new investigative data reporter!—reports:
Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs
A newly enacted New York law requires retailers to say whether your data influences the price of basic goods like a dozen eggs or toilet paper, but not how.
