Truly one of the greatest things I've ever seen onstage. With only a few months to live, Wasit, the Thai indie rock pioneer, took the stage for a swan song. I turn up bopping at 2.44 and Wasit gave me a beautiful shout out at the end. #Bangkok #Thailand youtube.com/watch?v=p_SIvJ…

Happy Canada Day. The new additions to this list of Canadianisms, from hockey talk to indigenous words, show the originality and multicultural soul of the Great White North, which will never be the 51st state. #CanadaDay2025 #CanadaDay #ElbowsUpCanada ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

Picks is in fine company. What a performance he turned in last night after missing almost 2 entire series due to injury. At 7-0 he remains undefeated in the playoffs. #StanleyCup

What an incredible playoff season this year and the rematch between Edmonton and Florida for the Stanley Cup promises even more speed, finesse and pugilism. Go Oilers! #StanleyCupFinal jimalgie.club/1797-2/

Among his many achievements, Dave helped to invent the modern mask that goalies wear. The original mask is on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

RFK Jr. wants to cut Meals on Wheels to elderly and disabled persons. Another example of this administration’s unthinking cruelty. Pass it on, and possibly they will be embarrassed into continuing the program.
