Pekka Rinne on finally getting the call to the Hall of Fame:
"Who would have thought? It's an unbelievable honor. I share this with my teammates, my family, and also the fans... I got the news about 2-3 hours ago, and I never thought this phone call would come to me.... it's moments like this you think about your family. the players and coaches, and also the fans."
“We literally increased the number of ballots, mandated they had to be counted by hand within a certain time period, but it just doesn’t make any sense that 10X the workload would cost more”

Many of us can save a child's life, if we rely on the best data.
Giving money to a charity is one of the best things you can do for others. Your donation can make a huge difference.
But whether or not your donation makes a difference greatly depends on *where* you donate. If you give your money to the least cost-effective charities, it will not do much. If you give it to an exceptionally effective charity, the same amount of money can save someone’s life.
We all feel that some charities are more effective than others, but we tend to underestimate just how large the differences are.
Max Roser wrote an article that presents the data on these differences and makes the point that once you know them, the question of where to donate becomes morally crucial.
Alberta residents who are 18 or older, have filed a 2025 tax return and have a household income of $225,000 or less, will be eligible to apply for the Energy Rebate through a secure online portal starting on July 1.

So even if Smith doesn't spin the question the way she did with the separatist question...
Albertans are looking at least 2 more years before they're able to vote on the Water Not Coal question.
And at most?
4 years.
Because Smith believes in democracy.

INCREDIBLE cycloidal markings left behind by a powerful tornado in Washburn, Illinois from yesterday. This is the most impressive tornado damage I’ve ever seen, I’m in awe of these photos I took.
I have four things to say about this situation:
1. It is time, no question. And more importantly it's time for Darnell to get a fresh look somewhere else where he won't have quite so many preconceptions about him.
2. Every single one of you would have signed the contract Darnell did. His contract is not a reflection on him, nobody ever wants less money. It's a reflection of a team that backed themselves into a corner and panicked. That lesson could be important again this week.
3. Darnell Nurse is a leader both on and off the ice. He has been nominated for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy 4 times and a finalist twice. He's been a loyal soldier to this team for 12 seasons, despite some of the most egregious hate I've ever seen a player experience.
4. Be careful what you wish for, this could very well turn into a "one does not simply" situation.
I wish Darnell the best wherever he lands, and I'm grateful for his contributions to the team through significant injuries and unrelenting pressure from an often turbulent fanbase. I have offered my own share of criticism of him over the years, but that was always with the perspective that there were good things he brought every single night.

This World Cup has been amazing and it hasn’t even started yet.
