for the record i've heard faculty at US universities recite slightly more polite versions of this

I'm really looking forward to speaking with @shirip.bsky.social at this book launch event on October 28th in Toronto! Many thanks to @btlbooks.com and Upping the Anti for organizing it!

Toronto Elections Wrap-up: - Dodged a bullet on Bradford - Diana Chan McNally is going to be the strongest voice for the unhoused and tenants that city council has seen yet - Dianne Saxe fleeing Ward 11 to lose in Ward 14 by a landslide is *chef's kiss*

This election in a nutshell

Turnover at a glance: Nunziata –> Padovani Perks –> Chan McNally Saxe –> Layton Moise –> Stikuts Fletcher –> Ehrhardt Bradford –> Erskine-Smith Myers –> Chen Other than the loss of Myers, this is going to be a pretty strong Council for Chow.

i'm sure these words would bother me if i could read

This is really important.

my hat has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my hat

lula

teacher friend in Serbia just wrote, she went to teacch in Uni but no students, they are asleep, cause last night party, lol fingers crossed!!!

"Policing is not health care. Police are not an appropriate response for someone experiencing distress."

Off to the Lulag

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

ACAB ACAB ACAB

let's fucking go

I have to admit, that's two games in a row that Dach fills in nicely for Newhook on the PK. Kudos. #GoHabsGo

It ends with a huge kill as the Habs get a 2-1 win, 34 saves for Fowler, St-Louis made the right call. #GoHabsGo

a genuine and giant thank you to Brazilian voters

knock knock motherduckers

Watching the #GoHabsGo game at The Rhino in Toronto and they're playing a solid early 90s soundtrack. Lots of alternative rock, also Aerosmith. I feel like I'm traveling back in time, all I need now is to see Owen Nolan score on a cannonball with assists from Sakic and Sundin against Patrick Roy :D

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

I'm ready to say it. Arber Xhekaj has arrived. He's an NHL defender. You can't take it from him anymore. Xhekaj's biggest issue this season has been his partner. When he has a top quality partner like tonight, he's absolutely rock solid.

The power of friendship: Cole Caufield shares his smelling salts with Jake Evans.

Now why would they make papa Marty wear that hat. #Habs

The other team’s net, whenever the #Habs have a breakaway.

Lane looked just like Caufield scoring that beauty 😍 #GoHabsGo

Noah Dobson to Lane Hutson for a goal like that was not on my bingo card. #gohabsgo #habs #heritageclassic

Another two goal lead going into the third for the #Habs...

It’s ok to be tired of the NHL’s outdoor games. There are so many of them, after all. But for the players involved, getting to play outside is romantic, nostalgic and special. A reminder of what drew you to this line of work to begin with. www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Les Rangers ont préféré aller chercher Reimer à 38 ans que Montembeault... Ça va regarde mal pour les chances de Kent Hughes de trouver preneur. #GoHabsGo

Habs prospect Alexander Zharovsky scored another highlight-reel goal today 🔥

When you sign a team-friendly contract to play for the Habs but Geoff Molson still makes you work at the Molson factory on the weekends 🏭

Looks like the NHL has its first true costumed Halloween game #GoHabsGo

A young, 14 year old boy goes off to work for a 12 hour shift at the Molson Brewing factory (Oct. 25, 1927)

Pregame #FunFact: by getting the start in tonight's #HeritageClassic, #Habs Jacob Fowler will become the youngest goalie in #NHL history to start in an outdoor game!

Arber “Lane Hutson” Xhekaj with a confident move from the blueline to the net

One of the skills coaches/consultants should really work with Anderson on breakaways. He gets a lot of them so it's ridiculous that he can never convert. Or maybe he could learn a deke or two from Hudson, Caufield, Demidov... there's no guile whatsoever in his shooting.

The way the crowd is so far from the ice for this #GoHabsGo #GpJetsGo Heritage Classic, the broadcast feels like a pandemic era game with no crowd at all.

If Lane Hutson was any silkier, you could make parachutes out of him.

First Orban, now Vučić. Both fundamentally undone by rank corruption of their regimes. Which is so often the reality of the authoritarian right in power. Really worth paying heed to in Western Europe right now

can you imagine how many dipshits just lost an inheritance on polymarket

Vucic concedes defeat! Political earthquake in the Balkans!

Wow. Vučić has conceded Serbian election. Massive moment for the entire Balkans
