Torontonian by birth and residence. Canadian and American by nationality. Fan of history, liberal democracy, and our constitutional monarchy. Also a fan of the Leafs, Jays, Bills, and Raps. Plays video games from time to time.
Set up an old MacBook Air with EndeavourOS today, and it’s nicely playing my cable stream. (Think of old laptops running Linux as somewhat more useful Chromebooks that need a bit more maintenance. If you mess up the maintenance, just re-install the OS.)
So apparently Gavin McKenna is wearing 72 at dev camp, seen in this pic posted to Twitter.
The majority — well, this is from Jackson’s concurrence — went to the actual Senate debate over the 14th Amendment. See this exchange over citizenship for Roma/Travellers/Gypsies:
Kinda nuts that it was only 6-3, but SCOTUS clearly upheld the traditional interpretation of the 14 Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.
In honour of the expected pick, I put him on my HUT team earlier today. Top forward line of Gavin McKenna, Auston Matthews, and Charlie Conacher.
Okay the Trump passport is funnier than I expected. And ideal for the drawing of a little moustache on him. Prefer the Canadian passport, which requests that the bearer be let through in the name of His Majesty the King. Though wish we were as assertive as the Brits, who “request and require” it.
Got my George Armstrong jersey just in time for draft day. CCM made in Canada, from the Vintage line they did something like 15 years ago. One of the most faked lines, too. But got it from and crested by Hockey Authentic, so it’s real. hockeyauthentic.com
So I think Matthews will actually be last American Olympian standing, and will be a lifelong Leaf. But we’ll see. Nobody believes anyone on that team group chat any longer.
The jersey showed up today, wearing it as I watch Canada try to win by at least four. (Currently 5-0.)
Personally agree with most of this from @jeffveillette.bsky.social on the other platform. (Screenshotted for a hockey chat thread I’m on, but then figured I’d share here.)
That said. Personally, I’d call Hoekstra in, show him a PNG letter, and ask him why I shouldn’t sign it and issue it to him. If I were Anand. And if he snarked in response, I would sign it and hand it to him.
After playing the first tutorial mission of the Bond game … this is good.
… I think I like having auto drive available? I’ll just enjoy vibing to the music and taking cinematic screenshots. Obviously do all the new stuff manually. But this is a fun thing to have available. 2/2
Got all roads done. (With an EventLabs assist for Legends Island, as I’m only at the pink wristband.)
I’ll avoid the big spoiler others are posting and just note that I’m driving the Warthog through Tokyo because that’s what I do in a Forza Horizon game (ever since Horizon 3).
