😂 Kids Say the Darndest Things!! Funny Question from daughter of Carolina Hurricanes MVP & Stanley Cup Champ Jordan Staal after Beating the Vegas Golden Knights “Why did you punch that guy”

I gotta say I am super proud of Frederik Andersen, not for playing through his grief and pain, but for accepting it when his coaches told him to take a breather and showing up to support Bussi 100%

Might be a canes fan.

This is great advice Rachelle. I truly appreciate the constructive feedback. Giving in to the temptation of adding my two cents to the inane political rhetoric on this platform is so unsatisfying. Everyone puts on their armor picks up their teams flag and goes on the attack. I certainly haven’t been above that over the past week. And to what end? What I have been struggling with is whether and when to defend myself and my family against some of the more heinous accusations without being defensive. That’s been hard to figure out sometimes. The number of people/ bots/ trolls/ whatever that call me and my dad pedophiles, make claims of incest and treason and crimes against humanity is really staggering. All of it based on a wholly fabricated line of lies that they point to as truth. There is a a tactic that totalitarian regimes use called “eliminationist rhetoric.” The idea is that if you can get even a small percentage of a population to believe the absolute worst about someone (pedophile) then convincing a larger percentage of a lesser yet no more fact based crime is that much easier (bribery). Putin perfected what the Nazi’s invented on his rise to power. When you are on the receiving end of it your first instinct is that it’s so ridiculous that of course you just ignore it. But instead of going away it festers and worms its way into people’s brains. It’s maddening. It’s particularly maddening because it’s almost always projection on the part of this crew at least. The accusations of corruption and sex crimes and bribery. There is a mountain of actual facts that we all know about this regime and instead they play the grade school game of “I know you are, but what am I.” And the mainstream media just goes on with what they call “balanced” journalism. There is no balance between lies and truth. One should always weigh more than the other. Nevertheless, thank you for the open advice. I received it I hope in the spirit it was given. I’ve only really been her for about a week and I’m trying to find the right mix that’s true to me, because I don’t have the luxury of being anything but me. Keeping letting me know when you thinking I’m not doing my best.

This is seriously the cringiest collapse of a nation in real time.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

Things the recovery industry will not tell you: 1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure. A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there. The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists. 2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal. 3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops. 4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there. 5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page. 6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak. 7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes) 8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you. 9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in. 10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

Made $1,300 today sticking four posts in the ground. Skilled trades are a thing.

Every game’s been a fucking thriller. Unbelievable resolve. Tuesday, @Canes. Three more. Don’t let go of the rope.

Are you starting to see it yet? They’re just getting started. They don’t care that Pratt lost an impossible race. It’s just a vehicle for the message. Every loss will be. Just wait. May we vote in peace come November. x.com/beezy_nu/status/205646…

The allegation of the year will be fraud. We will read and hear that word more than we ever have. Fox, Fox guests, X Influencers, Republicans on social media, on news networks, will all be repeating it over and over for the next five months.

A reminder that scientists spent decades developing technologies that… checks notes… reduce disease, increase food production, and save lives. And somehow that’s become controversial.

Um. Yall watching the Stanley Cup finals? History being made. LETS GO CANES!!

Remember when they tried to rebrand ICE as NICE? That was like two weeks ago. Poof. Focus. At least on something.

If you can dig holes in the ground, put sticks in them, mix some concrete and make the sticks plumb, screw more sticks into those and make them level, then screw some more sticks on top of those, you can make $2k in a few days week after week and month after month. (And that’s if you’re doing it for cheap.)
