Can we stop looking backward please?Stuff's over, shit happens, get over it and move on.

@jacobsullum I think an interesting discussion would be comparing violent crime rates in general. Has that rate gone up or down? Murder rates may go down because medical care has improved and people who would have died from shootings, knifings, or beatings may have lived due to improved care.

Twitter is rife with people who live dissatisfied. Let's pick the smallest thing and register your angry complaint. Here's to finding grace in all things and for all people.

There's idiocy and then there's craziness. You choose which one this is.

@emeriticus The only way that our political parties, both Republican and Democrat, reform themselves, returning the principled, ethical law making is likely a viable moderate 3rd party that takes seats, and therefore votes, from both parties. They both seek only to divide.

Of all the things Congress should be focused on permanent Daylight Savings Time doesn't crack the Top 5,000. We have a 3 "i" government - incompentent, ineffective, and insecure.

Underrated challenge in war:

If you try to maintain equal unit sizes, then bad commanders will receive more resources over time than good commanders.

Ukraine solved this for drone teams by creating a marketplace where the currency is video-confirmed kills of Russians.

I will unequivocally like any Tweet that includes some form of the phrase, "....all Congress has to do is its job".

@NHL Yet somehow, the team that won the Stanley Cup isn't represented.....something, something, team, something...

This quote from the great Ronald Reagan speaks for itself. He went on to defeat the Soviet Union.

“We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now in slavery behind the Iron Curtain, 'Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skins, we are willing to make a deal with your slave-masters.'”

@CanesProspects Not a chance in hell he'll be there at 31. Only way this guy ends up a Cane is if the trade somebody or two to get higher picks.

@PaddyPhilly @Canes @HockeyHallFame The point is that there are other, frankly less deserving players in the Hall. Rod's accomplishments as a player alone are worthy in my opinion. Add in his coaching career - his team hasn't missed the playoffs since he became head coach. It's a no brainer.

[Captain Hot Take! @cwjohnson23]

@PaddyPhilly @Canes @HockeyHallFame Remind me again, how many player awards Tkachuk won. Rod won the Selke twice. How many Stanley Cups did Tkachuk win? Rod won as a team captain and now as a coach. Rod played longer, has more points, and has a vastly better playoff resume. It's more about who got in instead of Rod

Social Security's finances are deteriorating faster than expected, and every year Congress delays means steeper adjustments and a heavier burden on younger workers. Lawmakers should enact gradual reforms now, while good options remain, rather than kicking the can down the road.

@mattyglesias And should again...

The ideas that transformed the world — free trade, limited government, and individual liberty — are now treated as relics rather than the radical achievements they truly are.

Leaving for work this morning, I looked over and saw what was left behind in the cul-de-sac - a hockey net, scattered sticks, and the remnants of what had to be a 15-20 kid street hockey game last night.

And it hit me… I live at Topsail. A beach community in North Carolina. Yet these kids are choosing to play hockey in the street instead of the “traditional” Southern sports you’d expect around here.

That’s what the Carolina Hurricanes @Canes have done for this state. They didn’t just build a fanbase, they grew the game. It’s honestly amazing seeing hockey take root in places as random as a beach town cul-de-sac. 🏒🌴 Happy Gameday!!!
