@reporterchris Classic Streisand Effect. Classic Tortorella: Ego first, hockey second.
English
The NHL has imposed significant punishments on the Vegas Golden Knights for "flagrant violations" of the league's playoff media regulations: Vegas forfeits its 2026 second-round draft pick and head coach John Tortorella is fined $100,000.
The club had been warned previously
English
@david_parker Most of the world envies the life of Canadians. This bubble-wrapped entitlement to want to leave when the going gets tough is the result of being too insulated from how the rest of the world lives to appreciate what you have. You're a poster child for selfishness and cowardice.

Best way to increase the number of Independence supporters in Alberta is to tell Albertans the can't even vote on it.

@sidseixeiroshow @Sid_Seixeiro Well said. But I don't blame Marner at all. He just wasn't the player people wanted him to be in the playoffs. It's a different game. The media should say that more. Sure he's a well paid professional athlete, but he's still a human being. Matthews is American. Shit on him!
English
Mitch Marner leads the NHL playoffs in scoring.
ESPN last night had some thoughts on his time in Toronto.

#BlueJays win, 14-1.
They needed one like that. They were better than the Angels in every way today.
They’re 18-21.

Dear @sapinker, You are yet again unnecessarily bringing @realDonaldTrump into the conversation. Try to process the contents of my book without invoking your political orientation. The open border immigration policies that have taken place in the West are perfectly suicidal. You need to have the imagination to extrapolate from current realities to a far-away future to recognize the death spiral. You grew up in the warm succour of the West; I grew up in the Middle East. As a Jewish man, you may wish to reconsider your immense kindness and empathy toward those who would eradicate you in a heartbeat once the demographic realities are in their favour. I live in the real world and not in the ecosystem of the ivory tower where ideas are fully decoupled from reality. Shabbat shalom.

@clairlemon Gad Saad is a cover band. A marauding pseudo-intellectual, only interested in persuasion insofar as it feeds his own ego. He's the PZ Myers of the right.
English
"As a right-leaning person myself, Saad’s excruciating style actually made me empathise, to some extent, with left-wingers & how they view the Right. If the Left can suffer from suicidal empathy...then right-wingers can suffer from homicidal incuriosity"

@clairlemon The Divided States of America loses war after war and then gets upset when much wiser educated countries - that so many Americans like to disrespect - don't join them in their failures.
English
"The United States never lost a battle against North Vietnam, but the North still won the war. The United States never lost a battle against the Taliban, but the Taliban eventually prevailed in that conflict as well."

One of the most amazing military operations ever. Congratulations to everyone whose skill and bravery made it possible. God bless you all and Happy Easter!
Donald Trump Jr.@DonaldJTrumpJr
This is the Easter miracle I was praying for today. Pilot, WSO rescued and all rescue operators safely out of Iran. What an extraordinary mission behind enemy lines. Shot down in Good Friday rescued on Easter. You couldn't ask for anything more perfect. Happy Easter all.

@ArabellaF4 @cohler @PaulMBrisbane Consensus isn’t a scientific argument, depending on popularity, it’s the process of getting to a better explanation, not an end result. Once upon a time, scientific papers and consensus agreed that lobotomies were great. Consensus is dogma, an unquestionable religious belief.
English
@cohler True, but if you don't know enough about a subject, the best you can do is to follow the consensus of experts when there is one. They could be wrong. But as a matter of probability, you're more likely to be closer to the truth. Those who think otherwise are dismissed as arrogant
English
@mattwridley As usual, way too confident in your assertions about the future. A trademark of the untrustworthy.

This is why malevolent AI is not likely to be an existential threat.
There will be multiple competing AIs, preventing any one from taking over the world.
Just as there are multiple ambitious species some of which are predatory.
The AI debate needs to understand evolution.
Science girl@sciencegirl
Millions of years of evolution into a perfect predator undone by a shovel.

@clairlemon Haven't read their manuals. Just like virtually everyone on this fucking rock.

Do these people or their followers ever stop to think that their model of how the world works is wrong?

Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones share an emotional moment together, as they both fought so hard for Donald Trump, just for him to end up burying the Epstein files and bringing America into another war

@Noahpinion "All the leftists."
Hitchens razor:
"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence"
Noah suffers from the Tyranny of the Dichotomous Mind"

All the leftists fantasized about the whole Middle East uniting against Israel. Instead, the whole Middle East ended up allying with Israel against Iran.

"The Iranian barrage has vaporised the last pretence of Gulf neutrality, demolished decades of hedging between Tehran & Washington, & fused Israel, the Gulf Cooperation Council, & the United States into a cohesive Abrahamic security architecture." quillette.com/2026/03/03/the…

@reporterchris Matthew Tkachuck is incapable of making such a decision. Ask Kyle Connor. It's ridiculous that he even wears a letter for the Divided States of America.

The hockey world has long known what Sidney Crosby is all about, but you won't find a better example of his selflessness than his decision to sit out today's Olympic gold-medal final rather than forcing it while injured.
Crosby put his teammates, team and country 🇨🇦 first.
English
@CBCOlympics @TeamHoman @BRPglobal Does the entire team get a medal or just Homan? It's hard to tell when sports journalism seems to focus more on the skip with their headlines than is warranted.
English
.@TeamHoman are Olympic medallists 🇨🇦🥉
Rachel Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes win bronze in women's curling at #MilanoCortina2026

@mattwridley Yup. Many people around the world were quite silent as Hitler began his rise to power. They shouldn't have been. Yet we still see the same silent behavior today - even by those drawing attention to this fact. Tribalism can turn even smart people very stupid.
English
@annakaharris @bigthink I think we need to ask ourselves why we assume consciousness is so special. Rare? Maybe. But maybe it's no more special than a Quasar.
English

@Sportsnet it's official. @AM34 is, without a doubt, THE most pusillanimous Captain in the NHL.
