Habs win ANOTHER Game 7.

And in overtime.

Heart stopping for sure.

But halfway there.

Onto Carolina.

The Future.

A very worthwhile piece. Probably the most succinct summary of what people around the world need to do.

Another work adventure tonight.

This hot on the heels of more layoffs, more moving of jobs to other time zones (both in the US and other countries).

As always, why do I do it? Because I have no real choice.

Let's hope I survive until tomorrow.

Never forget the Nabka.

It may have 'started' in 1948, but the reality is it never actually ended.

'Sportswashing'.

Pretty messed up, but it's saying a lot.

Trump’s state visit to Beijing and the New Cold War on Asia

What is on display in Beijing this week is not a thaw, and the executives traveling with Trump are not a sign of moderation. The economic and military aggression against China are two halves of the same project of containment. This is hyperimperialism: an empire turning increasingly to force as its economic dominance erodes, with China and other Global South countries defending their sovereignty as the primary targets. Trump’s transactional style is not a departure from US imperialism but the form it takes when its economic instruments no longer deliver.
