I’m a writer and I write about war and conflict; I spend 80% of my reading time on primary sources. The impact of violence and war on people—not just soldiers but civilians and families—is terrible and lasts generations. For Remembrance Day, honour the fallen, but remember war and its costs.

Hope that comes to pass, Al. And if it does, have Johnny open a few cans of fuckin’ peaches.
This could change things in unexpected ways. Because Congress and the Supreme Court should be listening to the American people tonight. We're obviously pissed, and we're coming for their jobs.

I would just like to ask the Republican Party to please put Stephen Miller in front cameras as much as possible from now until the midterms because he is such a likable & charismatic person with so many amazing & popular ideas for people who aren’t white Christian nationalists.

I briefly logged in to Edmonton mayoral candidate Tim Cartmell’s zoom town hall tonight. I logged out shortly after he talked about how bad his council colleagues have been to him for the past 4 years before he then started talking about how he’s really good at working as part of a team. 🙄

Looking at the money going to Cartmell, it’s not the UCP connection that worries me. It’s the money coming in from developers, BILD and the OEG. Media should be looking at which things these groups lobby for, and who votes in their favour. Start with the recent CRL/outdoor concert venue decisions.
Receiving campaign donations from people who have also donated to the UCP isn’t inherently a bad thing. But issuing a statement about transparency while sharing misleading information absolutely is.

Built a new xG model for PuckIQ for the upcoming season. It’s a fairly straightforward xgboost (appropriate!) model.
Log loss is not quite among the best out there, but to quote Thomas Dinsmore, "differences in model accuracy are within the Margin of Nobody Cares."

You will treasure these memories. Children you coached, characters you help mold, friends you made
Sold all my soccer coaching paraphernalia (cones, pinnies, peg nets, speed poles, bench) to my co-coach, who has a younger child so he’ll be on the hook for a few more years.
End of an era.
Might feel weird in a few months, but right now … so much free time!
Might even start watching TV again!

1830 to 1850 politics is a fascinating time
My 12-year-old daughter went to an excellent school where they focused on reading, writing, and math. But they didn't cover much actual history. Now she's at a new school where they are picking up US history in the 1840s. So every evening we're doing "American History, Part I" to fill her in.

I just now realized that without Larry/CBAFAQ, I would never have had a career in basketball. It’s a long story, but the short version is there’s a straight line between the FAQ, the ridiculously nerdy dynasty league I played during the 00s with a future NBA AGM and me eventually landing in MKE.
Pretty sure he’s not on BSky, but wanted to give a shout out anyway to Larry Coon, who recently announced he’s stepping back from keeping one of the great resources of nba nerdery updated in cbafaq.com.
He wrote and maintained this beast mostly for free through 2 decades & I think 4 CBAs.
