When I hear ppl dismiss @ComicDaveSmith because he’s “just a comic” w/an opinion on geopolitics, try swapping out “comic” with your own profession-suddenly it hits differently. The same people would be just as quick to discount your perspective based on what you do for a living.
This defensive rep is so unbelievably bad i can’t even begin to comprehend
Why is Fland trailing Stirtz around the screen? Why does Lee jump forward for no reason instead of help? Why is the strong side 3 WIDE open?
So so so bad i can’t believe it
@_noahfurtado Worked at RayJay for 2 years. Yeah half the fans don’t show up til midway through 1st, and even then they’re huddling in the club AC areas watching the game on TVs. Watching the games on TV now you can barely even hear the crowd. Truly awful home field advantage
Somebody flopping their way to an 80-point game against a team doing its best to lose on purpose is such a perfect defining moment for Adam Silver's NBA.
As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:
“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”
Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.
But as Adam’s wrote, America: “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”
The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.
Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”
As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.
But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.
2026 Stadium Series was the #NHL’s best outdoor game of 45 so far - not close.
Scene. Vibes. Props. Show. Legit drama. Goalie fight. 4-goal comeback. Overtime.
And Jon Cooper’s endless commitment to the bit in 38-degree weather in (!) Florida.
What a night.
