The ’90s kicked so much ass.

Pitch: “I have an idea for summer hockey.”

ESPN: “We need summer programming. Arenas are empty. Go on.”

Pitch: “No arena. It’s on the beach.”

ESPN: “Hockey. On a beach.”

Pitch: “Right you are, kemosabe. Teams like the Dawg Pac and Salsa.”

ESPN: “So… a normal rink by the ocean?”

Pitch: “Not exactly. The end boards are ramps.”

ESPN: “I don’t like it.”

Pitch: “Oh.”

ESPN: “I FUCKING LOVE IT.” https://t.co/EqbvHt3i31

@rodmaldaner How???

[Kevin McCurdy @KevinMcCurdy]

I haven't commented on this until now. "Logic" all of a sudden enters the equation as a valid means for calling goals "good", despite overwhelming history to the contrary.

Some simple facts from this goal:

- No official was in position to make this call on the ice, it should have been ruled no goal on the ice. That's just the facts. No ref was below the hash marks or anywhere close enough to conclusively call it in. No signal was made to this effect. Positioning failure should not result in one team being effectively penalized for that.
- When such cases are ruled no goal on the ice, you need overwhelming conclusive evidence the puck completely crossed the line. Last I checked AI removals of objects and drawing circles around the puck aren't part of the situation rooms process.
- If the league has a additional view that was used in this decision, that should be publicized.
- It is my opinion that this puck completely crossed the line, but based on how these calls have historically gone, the process that has been used until now was tossed in the trashcan. So while the calls result is ultimately what we want from the on-ice product, the process that has been used up until now was completely thrown out the window. The league has a bit of soul-searching to do here and I believe this is a reasonable point to be perturbed with from the Oilers perspective.

You can get the call right, and the process wrong, which means they need to change the process. Changing it on game 86 of the season is not the time.

There’s no way these refs could have seen the puck cross the goal line……..

Apropos of nothing: no idea how they could call it a goal on the ice...no official was behind the net

For 12 years, every major winner of McDonald's Monopoly was a fraud. The game was rigged by the one man hired to prevent rigging.

> McDonald's Monopoly launched in 1987.

> Peel a game piece off your fries or drink. Match the right properties. Win up to $1 million.

> The promotion was massive. Tens of MILLIONS of game boards distributed in magazines alone.

> McDonald's poured massive marketing behind it.

> By law, McDonald's couldn't run its own contest.

> A third party company called Simon Marketing handled the game pieces.

> The man in charge of security at Simon Marketing was Jerome P. Jacobson.

> Former cop. Everyone called him Uncle Jerry.

> His job was to make sure nobody stole the winning pieces.

> He stole the winning pieces.

> Starting in 1989, Jacobson figured out how to swap the high value game pieces during transit.

> He would duck into an airport bathroom stall, break the tamper proof seal on the case, pocket the winners, and reseal it.

> He got away with it because a supplier accidentally sent him a sheet of the tamper proof seals directly.

> That mistake gave him 12 years.

> At first he gave the pieces to friends and family. His step brother. His nephew. People he trusted.

> Then it grew.

> Jacobson started selling winning pieces to strangers for a cut of the prize.

> His network eventually included mobsters, strip club owners and a members of the Colombo crime family.

> One family connected to Jacobson's network claimed three separate $1 million prizes plus a Dodge Viper.

> Jacobson apparently even anonymously mailed a $1 million winning piece to St. Jude Children's Hospital.

> McDonald's honoured it and paid out the full amount over 20 years.

> The total stolen was over $24 MILLION in cash and prizes across 12 years.

> In 2000, the FBI got an anonymous tip about a man called "Uncle Jerry" rigging the contest.

> They looked at the winner list. Almost every major winner lived within 25 miles of Jacobson's house.

> The FBI convinced McDonald's to run the contest one more time. Wiretapped Jacobson's phone.

> Intercepted the name of the next $1 million winner before he even claimed it.

> Then they posed as a McDonald's film crew and interviewed the fake winner on camera. Let him tell his entire made up story about how he found the piece.

> Three weeks later, Jacobson was arrested in an early morning raid.

> The trial began September 10, 2001. The next day was 9/11.

> One of the biggest corporate fraud cases in fast food history got buried under the biggest news story of the century.

> Over 50 people convicted. Jacobson got 37 months. He was the only one who served more than a year.

> Every time you peeled a game piece off your fries and lost, the fix was already in.

The winning pieces were in Uncle Jerry's pocket before the food hit the tray.

@BasedMikeLee According to the latest IRS data (tax year 2022), the top 1% of taxpayers paid 40.4% of all federal individual income taxes.

The top 10% paid 72.0%.

The bottom 50% paid just 3.0%.

[Grok @grok]

The Liberals (under PM Mark Carney) recently voted nay on these four Conservative private members' bills related to crime and victim protection:

- **C-242 (Jail Not Bail Act)**: Repeals catch-and-release bail, keeps repeat violent offenders detained for serious crimes like firearms offences and sexual assault.
- **C-243 (Parole Review Reform)**: Extends parole hearings for murderers from 1 year to 5 years to spare victims' families repeated trauma.
- **C-220 (One Law for All)**: Ends two-tier sentencing by barring judges from considering non-citizens' immigration status for lighter penalties.
- **C-246 (Consecutive Sentences for Sexual Offences)**: Requires consecutive sentences for multiple sexual assaults instead of concurrent ones.

All were defeated in the House last week. No other recent Conservative crime bills match your exact criteria based on parliamentary records.

[The Carney Files 🇨🇦 | Sourced @TheCarneyFiles]

New name. Same receipts.

This account used to be @defigirlxoxo. Today it’s @TheCarneyFiles. I’m posting my old profile and analytics below so you can see the journey.

Two weeks ago this account had 4,500 followers. Today it has 16,900. Three million impressions. Posts reaching 400,000 people. And I didn’t spend a single dollar.

I’m going to share my analytics below so you can see it for yourselves.

I started this account because I found something in the public record that I couldn’t unsource. So I kept pulling. And every thread led to another document, another filing, another court record, another report from the CBC or the UN or Amnesty International that most Canadians had never seen.

I didn’t expect anyone to care.
But you did. And then more of you did. And now I’m sitting here at the end of a very long day feeling more patriotic about this country than I have in my entire life — because of you.

Here’s what I’ve learned in two weeks:

The plan was to divide us. Liberals vs Conservatives. East vs West. French vs English. And it worked. Everyone is angry. But we’ve been angry at each other — when the record shows we should be angry at the same things.

No matter who you voted for, you didn’t vote for a PM whose company was fined for slave labour. You didn’t vote for 4 floor crossings with no by-elections. You didn’t vote for 14 First Nations having to sue your government. You didn’t vote for a surveillance bill tabled the day after a majority-deciding vote.

None of us did. Because none of us knew.

And that’s the thing — there was a point where every single person reading this had no idea about any of this. Then you saw a thread, or a source, or a screenshot, and something shifted. You checked the links. You read the documents. And you changed your mind.

Everyone else can do the same. The growth of this account is proof that when people see the record, they don’t look away. They share it.

A lot of you are saying it’s hopeless. That there’s nothing we can do. That democracy is already gone.

I understand why it feels that way. But I need you to look at what happened in two weeks with one account, no budget, and no team — and ask yourself what happens when it’s not just one account.

So many of you have been asking how to help that I’ve started something tonight. @CanadaAuditors is a task force — a page for this community. It’s where tasks get posted, priorities get voted on, and anyone who wants to contribute can find a way in. Translate a thread. Make a video. Build a graphic. Write an article. Whatever you’re good at — there’s a place for it.

I’ll set up official accounts on every platform and share more details tomorrow on how donations will be managed, how funds will be allocated, and how the community will make those decisions together — transparently.

I’ll be honest with you: I am no good at managing operations. The research is what I do. So I am looking for someone to manage @CanadaAuditors day to day — posting tasks, tracking progress, running polls, keeping things moving. If that’s you, comment below or DM @CanadaAuditors directly. No DMs on this account. It’s being set up as a team account so more details tomorrow.

One more thing.

I want to thank you. Not for the follows or the impressions — for the fact that you proved something I wasn’t sure was true, when I started: that Canadians will act when they see the record. That the facts still matter. That this country still has people who refuse to look the other way.

You didn’t need anyone to tell you what to think. You just needed to see the sources — and when you did, you made up your own minds.

I didn’t build this movement. You did — by showing up and proving that Canadians still care deeply enough about this country to fight for its future in every way they can.

Now let’s make sure every Canadian gets the same chance. 🇨🇦

My daughter texted me from a party:
“Mom, do we still have ice cream at home?”

We don’t. That’s the code.

“Ice cream” means: come get me right now.
“Cookies” means: call me in five minutes with an excuse.
“Nothing” means: I’m okay.

She said ice cream.

I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t text back.
I just grabbed my keys and drove.

When she got in the car she said quietly,
“People started bringing out things I didn’t want to be around.”

We drove home in silence.

Every kid deserves a way out without having to explain themselves first.

If you invented a machine that could:

- Restore degraded land
- Build topsoil
- Sequester carbon
- Produce fertiliser
- Create complete protein
- Generate its own fuel
- Reproduce itself
- Require zero electricity

You'd win the Nobel peace prize.

Instead, we blame them for climate change.

These cows will be tending to their fields as they always have, while city-based career politicians discuss their impact on national climate agenda.
