One thing for which I'm certain: Everyone, including the president of the United States, is going to have a completely normal reaction to the Bills playing the Canadian national anthem.
Nick Veronica@nickveronica.bsky.social · 17h agoThe Buffalo Bills announced that they will play both the American and Canadian national anthem for the first time at the Highmark Stadium opener. They're definitely making a push to expand their fanbase in southern Ontario, and this shows unity as a border city. The Sabres have always done this.
I saw a fellow Canadian at the grocery store reading a label. He whispered to his wife, “Made in the USA? Put it back, honey, that’s a hate crime now.”

my new idea for time zones. whenever you wake up, that's 9 am. and whenever you go to sleep that's 9 pm. time is no longer a fixed point. you can follow the sun or you can follow your heart. the choice is yours
To demonstrate how pointless the bar is, the President of the NCBE never took it, because she graduated from Wisconsin, which provides diploma privilege for lawyers. @lizcgil.bsky.social knows what I’m talking about.
On Feb 24, I gave a lecture at UW explaining what my team's decade-plus research on online rumors during crises reveals about the right wing "bullshit machine." Fittingly, a lightning strike impacted the original audio. Here's a fixed version w/ the full transcript: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjiG...

@jbcartoonist.bsky.social They all have the constitutional and patriotic duty to impeach. They swore an oath.
It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.
When Pete Hegseth polled top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during military operations, he bet they’d back his view that the program was “woke” and out of step with “maximum lethality,” officials told ProPublica. Instead, every commander rebuffed the idea.

Tonight marks the start of the 2026 NFL season- it should be an exciting game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots!
It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.
