The politically motivated assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and attack on Sen. John Hoffman is unconscionable.
Public service should never be a death threat.
Praying for their families. There must be a swift investigation.

A great piece by @laurentheisen.bsky.social on Sidney Crosby, hockey rivalry and much more. It's where I learned Mike Lange, GOAT hockey commentator and Voice of the Pens died recently and now another piece of my youth is gone.

Career first - I'm now the subject of comments in a YouTuber's video, because I went and did my job. Not linking because he doesn't need more eyeballs but it was nice to see some supportive comments replying to those calling me a "Starmer commissar" (what even is that?)

Yikes. This doesn't really help those outside the US (I'm not making a trip to Whole Foods in London just to buy their cinnamon) but something to keep in mind when buying ground spices.

I swing wildly between strong disinterest and OMGYES with the picks on 60 Songs that Explain the 90s: the 2000s, but Johnny Cash and Hurt was possibly the most quietly devastating episode yet.

This is the kind of "right side of history" content I'm here for
"If you assault the staff, we're going to have problems."
I have pretty complicated feelings about violence in hockey, but my feelings about a retired NHLer fighting seven drunk golfers who were hassling service workers are... less complicated?

Former NHLer taking on seven drunk golfers in an Arizona bar fight is a terrible look for golfers
NHL on TNT star Paul Bissonnette was assaulted by some overserved golfers in Scottsdale and appeared to leave with just a few scratches.
