To lose cognition is irrelevant, to lose agency is inexcusable

And just like that, the #Habs regain must-watch status! Who doesn’t want to see how they manage without Suzuki??

This PHP disaster makes crystal clear that OpenAI are bad actors and actively harm global cybersecurity. They are proud of it, to boot!

Despite last night’s disappointing choke, the #Habs honestly don’t seem to be missing Mike Matheson all that much. And Kapanen looks more like himself, too. Slafkovský as well. Some positives out of a bad night all the same.

Neither Dobeš nor Xhekaj should play this week after last night’s collapse. They just can’t ignore dumb penalties any longer. That the team cannot overcome indiscipline, is really concerning - it’s basic hockey & literally the easiest improvement the team can make. Coach has to respond.

If this guy had a dynasty league team, he’d keep stockpiling prospects, and as they hit, keep trading them for ever-younger prospects. Never, ever in contention. Literally the worst at his job for decades

Delegitimization of all nation-states is a goal for my brand of anarchy; ending imaginary borders & overthrowing democracy is the path to ending the stigmatizing “migrant” or “immigrant” designation

Nazis used ideas of "race" to name some people as unfit for life in the "German nation" After WWII anti-racists worked hard to delegitimize the idea of "race." Now, we must delegitimize the idea of "nation" & the division between "citizens" & "migrants" To not do so is to accept today's terrors.

This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery. Let's talk about this key moment in American labor history!

The Doctor lays it down right here ⏬

How dare Cole Hutson play on that team of absolutely detestable clowns 🤡

…… Classic Sepultura would send these posers into a coma

A better time, primitive & full of possibility. The Information Superhighway was as an uncarved block, innovation was very much wu wei as we just waded in like children playing

Wizard shit by Lane Hutson #GoHabsGo

Marty & his timeouts. Is this the game where it works?

Meanwhile Jayden Struble played a pretty good 19 mins for Preds, good for him.

A committee of Democrats working to impeach and remove the Secretary of war (sic) should be nicknamed "The firing squad".

I miss Claude “I fix things” Julien. Actual hockey tactics might be a thing. We’re seeing the limits of a coach who has little to say at this point beyond “play the game in front of you” while he pulls goalies too early #GoHabsGo

If I were HuGo I’d be wondering if a Hage-Edvinsson deal was possible & how much Matheson might consider Detroit as his next home

International criminals sanction the international criminal court, you say?

Seeing the coach say this makes me unhopeful as a fan. What about their wobbly process & consistently average results? That’s demoralizing af to read as a fan. He’s not there to be a dad, his job is “win games” and he’s contributing to the unforced errors on his own.

FOWLER TIME AGAIN BABY

If I’m Danny Brière, I’m firing Tocchet immediately, finding an AHL or players’ coach to create a safe but disciplined culture, and getting back to properly rebuilding. Last year was BS & they should’ve been tanking. The failed OS sealed their fate for this year & he knows all this.

I would be shocked if Fowler didn’t get the start Thursday for the #Habs and just, surprise, the door for him suddenly popped open. That said, hope Sammy is okay. He’s got more games in him & I think he’ll be called upon this year too.

RIP to the first software engineer, and one of the very best.

This is part of what I can’t stomach from this coach. His method has proven limitations & he clearly doesn’t see that. No change since last year’s approach, no lessons learned. Clock’s ticking for MSL, but will he realize it too late? ⏰

Appreciate the #GoHabsGo making it easier to ignore them this season. Lots of other interesting hockey, we can check with the CH again in January to see if they’ve made any progress since October of 2025. Coaching is still suspect 🥸 Watching the ladies on HNIC this season instead, very excited!

this has been pretty eye opening. one game, still early, all that noise. but it feels like the canadiens aren’t a 2c away from being at the canes’ level. they are a fundamental shift in the way they approach their game away from being peers with carolina. last year wasn’t close. this isn’t close.

I’m back in the Cool Zone this week talking unions! Come for the labor news, stay for my terrible accent

Goalies are the best

Kinda think both the Leafs & the Jackets get worse here, but YMMV

So 1F & 1D still too many by the looks of it?

Joe Veleno made the Rangers, huh

So Jakob & Sammy are the Guys, and maybe Florian too 🫡

People are being really weird about Kirby Dach. To each their own, but I'm not cutting him because another dude played well in *preseason* and I'm very confident that's the right call.

If you’re under 40, let me assure you this was the last motherfucker you wanted to see coming up in the 9th inning for the other team.

I see Rickey, you gon see'm too 🔥🔥🔥

When I teach linear I like to point out that the mathematical use comes via gardening. Womb -> a growing place -> a garden plot with lines of string to make a grid to put a regular array of seeds -> an array of numbers each with its designated spot.

One thing about Florian Xhekaj - being a left shot helps his chances to make the Habs. Realistically Danault is the only left-hander taking draws consistently. #GoHabsGo
