#Sabres coach Lindy Ruff on the goaltending situation for Game 7:

@NickKristof @WHO *he benefits

@NickKristof @WHO He’s a malignant narcissist and sociopath, he won’t dispatch assistance until you benefits personally and financially

Ebola has broken out in DR Congo and Uganda, reaching the capitals, and @WHO has declared this a global health emergency. I traveled along the Congo/Uganda border last year, and the public health structure--especially community health workers--was being dismantled because of President Trump's demolition of USAID. This Ebola outbreak will also be harder to address because it involves the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which there is no vaccine or approved therapy and for which even testing is complicated. And Trump has also withdrawn the US from @who, limiting the world's ability to work together to fight the virus. Uganda has a decent health system, but Congo's is a disaster and is complicated by war in Eastern Congo. Large numbers of Congolese are in camps in southwestern Uganda, and the US aid cuts mean that UN agencies are able to offer them less support so that the refugees increasingly are on their own and traveling more in search of food. If the Ebola spreads more broadly, then the cost in lives and money could be considerable -- so it's important to act early to contain it. I hope Trump will reconsider his moves, work with WHO, and dispatch assistance to the Uganda/Congo border area. nytimes.com/2026/05/17/wor…

@ksuvet68 Nikishin, the future star! 🌟

Okay, I am going to purchase an away Canes jersey today for my B-day. Thinking of getting my fellow B-day boy Chatfield but willing to listen to other suggestions. Already have Ehlers, Miller, Svech, and PK. Thanks!

@emilyjuniper_ @crotsunami And Jesus was Middle Eastern, NOT white with blue eyes.

@crotsunami Greeks, Romans, and Vikings are definitely not Black. 😂

Helen of Troy was white. Achilles was an actual man.

WHO WANTS A BEER SKATE?! RT for your chance to win the hottest drinking device in sports.

@Wingmenpod @ShaneOBrien55 And the Kings had 22 regulation wins and 22 OT losses. Who has played cupcakes?

The Carolina Hurricanes are rolling but @ShaneOBrien55 isn't fully sold on their NHL Stanley Cup chances 🤔 "Do I think they're as good as an 8-0 team right now? I don't ... but they’re absolutely humming."

@Wingmenpod @ShaneOBrien55 So it was all puck luck and playing low seeds, and they have already done something that hasn’t been done in 41 years. I guess O’Brien thinks the Stanley Cup isn’t the hardest trophy to win in sports 🤷‍♂️

@nuel_szy @_indica_sky I was there with my first love, 17 years old. Out of the blue, like a 2x4. It gets better, and that’s also easy to say.

Heartbreak steals your innocence. I remember being so deeply in love and so naive there's a bittersweetness when I think back, knowing I'll never be that soft or vulnerable again.

@tml037 @Canes

@Canes Good morning Admin! Ohhhhh we’re halfway there

GOOD MORNING CANIACS

@anishmoonka 6.5 million divided by 100,000 hours, not including materials and design, so $65/hour for a Patek? I don’t think so.

A standard Rolex has about 200 moving parts. The Patek Philippe on Jay-Z's wrist at the Met Gala has 1,580. Patek spent 8 years designing it. Then over 100,000 hours building the first one. About 11 straight years of someone working 24 hours a day, no breaks. It's called the Grandmaster Chime, the most complicated wristwatch Patek has ever made. The inner mechanism alone has 1,366 parts. It fits in a circle smaller than an Oreo cookie. The outer case adds another 214 parts, and the case alone took four years to design. In watchmaking, a "complication" is just any function beyond telling you the time. Most watches in the "grand complication" category have 5 to 7. This one has 20. When it launched, no wristwatch in history had combined that many. It tracks the phase of the moon, accurate to one day's drift over 122 years. It also has five different ways to chime: one that automatically rings the hours and quarters, one that rings only the quarters, one you press a button to hear the current time, one that rings whatever alarm time you set, and one that chimes today's date on demand. The last two had never existed in any watch before. Both were invented by Patek's own president, Thierry Stern, a trained watchmaker himself. The chiming makes this watch nearly impossible to copy. Inside each one are tiny coiled steel wires called gongs. A single watchmaker shapes and tunes each gong by hand, testing every note with their own ears. Just putting one chime mechanism together takes 200 to 300 hours. Then the watch goes into a soundproof chamber where the chime gets recorded and compared against decades of past Patek chimes. Only then is it brought to Thierry Stern. He listens. If he doesn't like the sound, the watch goes back. Sometimes more than once. A rejected watch can take 500 hours of rebuilding before he approves it. This watch holds four power springs in total. One is dedicated to the chimes alone, separate from the spring driving the time. Inside the mechanism is a ball bearing 7.2mm wide. It holds seven steel balls, each 0.3mm across, smaller than grains of fine sand. They handle 1,700 gram-millimetres of twisting force from the chime springs without slipping. The case has 11 holes drilled through it for buttons and pushers, and somehow none of them ruin the chamber that lets the chimes ring out clearly. The case itself flips around to show either of its two different dials. Fewer than five workshops on the planet can build something at this level. Patek Philippe is the one all the others measure themselves against. Jay-Z's version lists at $6.5 million. The unique steel version sold for $31 million at Christie's in 2019. It still holds the record for the most expensive watch ever sold at auction.

@emanningwrites That’s nothing compared to his Uncle Holden

Caufield is so snakebitten right now.

@RestrictedDaily Jarlic is gross, tastes nothing like real garlic. It would 2% to your prep time to chop some real garlic.

WARNING: do not make smoked shotgun shells unless you’re prepared to eat way too many of them. These things should honestly be illegal at a backyard cookout. Absolute 10/10.

@Canes Nikishin

You call the game-winner now, Tripp will call it later

@caseyskater He looks out of sorts

"I would like to say I'm impressed, but nothing really impressed me. It was a lot of the normal that you see from Carolina at home." @PKSubban1 on the Carolina Hurricanes' steady dominance against the Flyers in Game 1 🏒

I have a pet peeve about people who don’t say their name during introductions. Met the owner of a local restaurant and he was filling in at the bar, and we had a great conversation about cocktails (anyone know what an Episcopal is?). Shook hands, he didn’t say his name. WTH?
