This is the GOP's frontrunner for president.

@ArtCandee @TheRickWilson So: Is anyone out there still on the fence about whether this is actually #Fascism or not?

@mattgurney "....there's a very good chance that the next American election is over weeks before anyone bothers to cast a ballot." Huh? His cult was already going to vote for him. You think escalating violence is going to drive independents to Trump?

This is an absolute must-read

@hockeyesque @JenBotterill @jamalmayers Call the rule book. Get rid of all this gratuitous cross-checking that skills guys like Matthews always have to deal with in front of net, etc. It's already technically illegal, and things always escalate from there--like they did with those shots on Kaprizov

[Mike Thompson @MST_Twenty]

Thank you @JenBotterill for calling out the dinosaur thinking around cheap shots that has plagued hockey for so long.
Enough of this crap already.

[Mike Thompson @MST_Twenty]

A big thank you to @paranoiacs for a recent post that turned me onto John Cale's masterpiece, Paris 1919.

Picking up on interesting stuff like this is the main reason for sticking around on this website, as far as I can tell.

[Mike Thompson @MST_Twenty]

Looking forward to this! A bit of Montreal @flyingbooks_to on College Street tomorrow night with Sarah Gilbert and @lit_zealot Michelle Syba @AnvilPress #shortfiction

Best pop song of all time, bar none. And this is a perfect summary.

[The Paranoid Style @paranoiacs]

A malign hook filled masterpiece as subversive and perfect as pure pop gets, Nick Lowe’s “Cruel To Be Kind” marries together an Everley-Bros-worthy melody, a throwaway Shakespeare quote and the worst couples counseling session ever conducted. Because you're mine I cross the line.

[Mike Thompson @MST_Twenty]

@DougSaunders Best example that comes to mind: If you search for guitar chord tab sheets for a given song, at least half of them are wrong.

[Emond Publishing @EmondPublishing]

Check out this insightful #interview from Wayne MacKay and CTV News Atlantic about the growing issue of violence in schools.

#topoli I just want to say that the "questions" that are apparently coming in from the @ThermeCanada consultation audience are 100% planted. All lobs. All designed to suss out key talking points.
