Crushed to hear of the passing of the incredible Ken Dryden.
To the world, he was among the most famous NHLers. A lawyer, a politician.
To me, he was a professor and mentor. And the biggest reason I became a journalist. My condolences to his family. He was a truly great man.

The air raid blares in Kyiv… let’s see what Moscow has in store the night a prospective ceasefire deal has been tabled.

“For ten days, since the shouting-match in the Oval Office, Ukraine has been scorched by Donald Trump’s wrath,” @olliecarroll.bsky.social writes. “Now comes a moment of catharsis—or another round of brutal punishment.”

In Georgia, protesters are now in their 3rd week of protesting against the ruling Georgian Dream party. This weekend GD elected a new president and his name was the only one on the ballot. Another show of democratic backsliding and the people are saying, “enough.” For @economist.com

When Russia invaded Ukraine, for the first time ever a nuclear power plant was occupied in the midst of war... then, it happened again.
