Regardless of your hockey team, this Stanley Cup Finals intro is absolutely unbelievable…

Ray Bourque interview, @TheKillers ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’ playing, Jon Hamm narrating… Just perfection. Made me tear up.

Extremely well done 👏🏽👏🏽

Love this from Gavin Newsom. He’s calling out Trump and Fox News “The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox.”

You wanted short term pain?

You’re about to get it.

A lot of it.

Hope you can handle the heat.

Best guide on how to identify a private equity or hedge fund by looking at its name

[Craig Fuller 🛩🚛🚂⚓️ @FreightAlley]

I was at a fundraiser tonight for the local hospital.

Spoke with dozens of business owners, many had different stories about how tariffs are impacting their business:

1 - Logistics exec: "One of our big box customers has stopped taking new imports from China altogether."

2 - Community banker: "We are requiring all home builders to bring more equity due to higher anticipated costs. This will have a big impact on new home builds later in the year."

3 - Wholesale distributor: "Overseas suppliers have changed payment terms, requiring payment up front. They've had so many US orders refuse to take delivery due to tariffs, now they view US customers as a credit risk."

4 - Toy retailer: "A large number of our domestic suppliers have cancelled all incoming containers and are not placing new orders until they get some direction, which will impact this coming holiday season. Toys will be in short supply all over the country."

5 - Staffing in manufacturing: "We had a lot of momentum coming in this year. Our manufacturing clients have mostly paused all new placements. We are talking hundreds of would-be jobs that have disappeared."

6 - Investment banker: "We had several deals in process that have stalled, including one large ($300M+) transaction that fell apart literally on the day of closing. The private equity fund got cold feet."

7 - Hospital exec: "We have a few months of inventory of PPE available. We can't pass on price increases, because most of our prices are fixed with the carriers. We aren't placing orders for anything that comes from China."

Did @MarkJCarney just win my vote with this statement?

[Max Fawcett 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @maxfawcett]

The Conservative Party of Canada's platform is 30 pages long. It has 17 pictures of Pierre Poilievre, including four full page ones (with no content).

The Liberal platform is 67 pages long. It has one picture of Mark Carney.

Take from that what you will. #cdnpoli

Notice how the RW "influencer" accounts essentially don't post about issues, platforms, and policy?

It's almost exclusively memes, attacks, insults, and in many cases outright misinformation.

Quite telling, isn't it?

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context.

There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

The H5N1 circulating now may never develop the ability to be transmitted efficiently between humans. It might develop it tomorrow. It might have done so already and is silently spreading now. We don’t know.

But I do think we know IF it becomes a pandemic, it will be catastrophic
