My son and I are eating barbecue and arguing about greatest goalies in each NHL team's history. Some teams (Buffalo, Edmonton, NJ) are open and shut cases. Others are tough. Care to settle it, Twitter?
Let's start with #NYR
Moving on to Chicago.
How about Florida? I am with @strombone1, my kid is vehement about Beezer.
#Habs?
Also, LA is a sticky wicket
And Tampa Bay?
Toronto (I am really curious about this one)
Calgary, your turn
#Caps...
Finally, #Canucks
#Pens
#Bruins
#Sens
Finally, is there a team easier to call than the #Sabres?
Not only is their top goalie an open and shut case, the same is true of No.2 and No.3.

There are many complex and important reasons Lamar Jackson was passed on by every other team in the draft.
You see, he is an "athletic" QB, while teams are looking for someone with a "high football IQ" who could be a "reliable system player."
Many. Complex. Important. See?
"Athletic QB" is my second most favorite racial football code term.
My absolute favorite is "deceptively fast" about pink-skinned receivers.
Speaking of football's incredibly weird racial segregation... where are black kickers? Don't you tell me black folks don't enjoy kicking shit. I have taught in inner city schools, and it's plainly not the case.
Also, have you met Pele?

Gym. A cup of tea and a blog post on Russian food. Laundry. A movie alone.
My Thanksgiving plans.
I thank America for the freedom it gave me to extend my middle finger to its holy traditions.
A fuck it! The Bills are playing today!
Goddamn it. Scratch all that and add "Soul crushing misery and crying self to sleep."
Nah, I'll be fine. Three decades of rooting for Buffalo sports have utterly desensitized me to most horrors short of the Holocaust.
My only dilemma is dinner. Since I have decided to join the war on Thanksgiving and won't eat turkey, I am in a bind. A bowl of chili, maybe.

One of the best slapstick comedies ever made. It's a riot from the first frame to the last. Absolutely brilliant comedic script and underappreciated acting work. Some scenes can be regarded as the funniest in the history of cinema.
Just too notch all around.
Like, there are comedies that still manage to have a sobering message or a poignant moment. But not Rocky IV. It is 100% focused on making you laugh every single second. Only Airplane!, The Naked Gun and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World compare in this single-minded dedication.
But Rocky IV is more relentless and ruthless. Its only mission is to make sure you have at least one instance of involuntary urination.
For me, the absolutely funniest scenes are Rocky's friend dying, the entire Siberia sequence and the Russian translator. I nearly died. Amazing.

To recap, while I agree with @repadamschiff that the bribery case against Trump is the strongest because bribery is specifically mentioned in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment, there are other v. nearly equally strong counts that could be brought:
1. We know he lied under oath to Mueller
2. We know he violated both the foreign and domestic emoluments clauses of the Constitution
3. We know he violated FEC rules (per the Cohen case)
4. We know he obstructed justice many times (per Mueller)
5. We know he failed to cooperate with subpoenas from the Congress
6. We know he violated the law requiring him to turn over his taxes to the Congress

These are all clear cut cases where there are mountains of proof and where prosecution of anyone else would take place.

A running thread of things that @Twitter could do to unlock value for users. Will add to overtime. Please feel free to retweet and reply with your own, most of these below I have just taken and summarized from others. In no particular order. 1/♾ #JustKidding 🤔 or am I?
@Twitter I drafted a tweet on my phone but of course, can't access "draft's" on the desktop. So lets maybe start there. The desktop and @Tweetdeck version should be MORE robust than the mobile app not less. Tweetdeck, for example, has no bookmarks, emoji's, live video, polls, gif's, etc
@Twitter @TweetDeck There are SO MANY great meaningful quotes, threads, replies, and conversations that vanish into the Twitter ether, drowned out by hot takes, snark, and 280 character riffs on what some influencer or politician just did. Find a way to collect and resurface this treasure trove.

@livingrock21 @2xwide_dreaming @DonaldJTrumpJr I've been on the trail of the two Chalupa's for 2 yrs. Yes 2, her sister Andrea is the other Chalupa. They both have me blocked, however a couple of researchers that lay low keep me supplied on their twitter feed. My problem has been documents, but @jsolomonReports has been huge
@livingrock21 @2xwide_dreaming @DonaldJTrumpJr @jsolomonReports Along with the Chalupas you also have the Mensch factor in support, posing as a displaced conservative from the UK is anything but that. Where Beck slips up is he completely leave out Victoria Nuland and her direct pipeline to the Obama White House. That's a whole other chapter.
@livingrock21 @2xwide_dreaming @DonaldJTrumpJr @jsolomonReports I love writing and putting things together, but I like to have documents or citations to back it all up. Without them it's just blogging, and that just gets swallowed up in all the white noise. But when you have documents and proof it then becomes something with teeth.

Those who dragged their feet on impeachment were not playing 3D chess. They were playing politics, counting votes, igoring duty & damaging our system by minimizing crimes into political differences. Now, they embrace impeachment simply because it is politically impossible not to.
There is a danger however, in buying into their explanations of their past inaction. Because they are used to justify narrowing the impeachment effort so narrow that many grave abuses will go uninvestigated & unpunished. The precedent this will set will damage us for yrs to come.
Impeach. But don't play the other side's game and impeach for the politics of it. Impeach because crimes were committed against the Constitution, the president's oath of office was violated and there is a conspiracy afoot to set the president above the law.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.
