@ggreenwald @LangmanVince @gazawest When have Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah etc ever said "we'll stop obsessing over the destruction of Israel if they do totally reasonable things a, b, and ?"

All Israel has to do is lay down its weapons, surrender, and these attacks will stop. Pretty simple.

Israeli Channel 12 reports at least three buildings have been completely destroyed in Tel Aviv. One missile directly struck the area, Israeli authorities stated.

@twizted8913 @Captain_Fubar Yeah 3 marine divisions decimated in a month. Insane battle.

@SamGR_77 @Captain_Fubar it was not an easy battle for the US either, one of the bloodiest in the pacific until okinawa came around

@wickdchiq @PakiGrok You seem confused. It's a US embargo. Cuba has been free to trade with most of the world during these past decades and they have.
English
Cuba has a lung cancer vaccine that is inaccessible due to U.S. embargoes. It was developed in the 1990s and still can’t be shared with the rest of the world
Hasanabi productions (meme account)@HasanabiProd
Hasan Piker interviewed multiple Cuban doctors on the island today and found out they have a working treatment for Alzheimer’s. But because of the US Embargo, American citizens can’t even receive it. “We are killing our own citizens by refusing to allow American companies to even pay for Cuban medicine”

@JohnnyGiunta_ You might be right but honestly idk. I'll have to see to believe a mid April weekday game against a shitty team having a great atmosphere.

For nearly a decade, the Ottawa Senators were the Toronto Maple Leafs’ whipping boys.
No more.

@Sheener72 @JasonGregor His quote kinda makes this same point. Cool for him to be honest about this instead of offering up some nothing answer where he pretends not to know what standings are.
English
@JasonGregor Yeah because that’s the attitude you want your captain to have going into the playoffs. 🙄 This team doesn’t deserve a playoff spot this season.

You don't speak for Canadians. Where has your solidarity been for the hundreds of people killed in Iran, and Lebanon, the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left to pick their lives up from rubble Israel and the US made of their homes? Or the Cubans being starved by the US?
Anita Anand@AnitaAnandMP
Canada is appalled by the Iranian Government’s execution of a Swedish citizen in Iran. We offer our deepest condolences to the family and express our full solidarity with Sweden. Canada continues to call on the Iranian regime to respect human rights and uphold their responsibilities under international law.

Taylor Hall: "It's a lot different once you cross the border in 🇺🇸. The fans are still the same during the game, there’s sellouts & they go crazy for the hockey, but away from the game, on social media, in the media, it’s just a little bit different in 🇨🇦"

@jimmy_walt801 @formerlyed @davidgross_man @ZaidJilani This is a political argument. Doesn't have that much to do with the bigotry scenario
English
@formerlyed @davidgross_man @ZaidJilani Where's the Black state who with the full backing of the U.S. is invading/genociding their neighbors while +90% of the U.S. media focuses on "anti-blackness" instead of asking why the U.S. would support a genocidal ethnostate in the first place?
English
A hypothetical: a 14 year old in the suburbs, doesn't know any Jews well, maybe 1 or 2 in his whole school. He hears "Jews kill babies" from a friend who got it from a streamer. That sounds fake, but what is he supposed to say when his friend shows him pictures from Gaza? 1/6
Maytal Kowalski@MaytalKowalski
Contemporary antisemitism is mostly due to antisemites. Yes, the actions of Israel provide "cover" for their words and actions, but the blame here still lies with antisemites and, more importantly, a society that allows and even encourages their views.
English
@davidgross_man @ZaidJilani Can do the same for Muslims, black people etc though. There's always gonna be some excuse for morons to think bigoted thoughts.
English
@markhmasters Yeah he's right. Canadians care about hockey so there's a lot of noise like there is in many US markets for NFL, NBA, and MLB (sports Americans care about).
English
@cenkuygur @MamadoAmano Easy answer: if you don't want your wild and insane sounding conspiracy theories to be discredited, simply provide some compelling evidence for them! Unfortunately this very reasonable bar is never met, because they're generally all horse shit.
English
@MamadoAmano I think the phrase "conspiracy theory" was the original conspiracy. If you come up with a way to discredit the idea that the government might do anything wrong, you can dismiss every concern about government wrongdoing by just having the media smear it as a "conspiracy theory."

Joe Kent says that an investigation that had leads on Charlie Kirk's death was shut down. If he's telling the truth, that is a MASSIVE problem. We don't know what that investigation would have found, but why on earth would our own government shut that down? What do they know?
English
@kinqmotion @teobuniz @hockeyjtm For sure, but you can already score a shorthanded goal with the current rules
English
@SamGR_77 @teobuniz @hockeyjtm Ending pk time and scoring a goal is way more valuable than clearing a puck right back to the other team…
English
i think the jailbreak rule should also be implemented in the nhl simply because it looks like a lot of fun
Sportsnet@Sportsnet
LAURA STACEY WITH THE JAILBREAK ‼️
English
@teobuniz @hockeyjtm Would it? The value of 1 goal is so much higher than the value of ending like 1 min of PK time that I don't think it would be much of an incentive. It's more of a little pot sweetener.
English
@hockeyjtm it makes powerplays so much more interesting imo bc it encourages shorhanded goals and turns the PP from just trying to clear the puck to actually trying to get offensive opportunities
English
@ArthurKolchak Yes but have you considered that liberating Palestine liberates the world? Asking how is Zionism
English
They used to try to explain the pivot from environmentalism to Israel/Palestine in terms of, "it's all CONNECTED, maaaaaaan!" (i.e., to fight climate change you need to fight capitalism which means you need to fight imperialism which means you need to fight the Most Important Anti-Imperialist Struggle of Our Time). However, I still haven't read any cogent account about how expelling a few million Jews from the Middle East is supposed to scale back carbon emissions. The exact causal mechanism and causal chain the activists propose are still obscure to me.

My step mother used MAiD. I don’t know if she would have died within a year but I know she would have lost capacity to consent, advanced consent being also removed by this bill, I do know she was in pain every single moment of her life. I know her disease was going to kill her slowly and brutally. I know MAiD was what she wanted and the most peaceful way to go. This bill is not reflecting the reality of those who are dying from debilitating illness.

You also don’t walk out of college or university expecting to buy a new 4 bedroom house, two cars, boats, skidoos, etc. The reason you struggle is because you aren’t willing to wait and make do like we did. Your entitlement is causing you to struggle.
Bitcoin Teddy@Bitcoin_Teddy
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@TurkStevens @coreylandsberg The league didn't do that. The front offices did. Kind of a non-issue either way.
English
@coreylandsberg If baseball was listening to their fans they wouldn't have done all the analytics crap that resulted in needing new rules to try fix it
English
MLB were known as the league run by dinosaurs who opposed change and even they started listening to their fans. The changes they've made in the last few years have made the game way better. Gary has no interest in listening to the fans, players, media, broadcast partners etc.

@Miggysbat The only conceivable way to do it without making the tournament worse would be to cancel the all star break and shorten the season a little, then shut down MLB for 11ish days but they'll never do that so there's no point in them considering this.
English
I can’t wrap my head around why people think this would be a good idea.
You think player participation is compromised now? There is NO way any team in postseason contention allows their players to join this tournament if it happens during the All-Star Break.
