As it is the Avs are pretty formidable. If they had goaltending they'd be unstoppable.

"Then there’s Netanyahu, whose political career should have ended in disgrace seven months ago when he failed to foresee and prevent the devastating Oct. 7 attack on Israel."
"Netanyahu also faces a probable conviction on corruption charges and even possible jail time if he loses office, not to mention an official inquiry into his pre-war actions that would destroy what remains of his reputation. This is not a man who will act in the higher interests of the nation" - Dyer

@Liliki Not to mention allowing his own citizens to be killed for his own gain. It's as transparent as it is repugnant.

@Liliki And let's not forget the leadership of Hamas doesn't give a rats behind about how many Palestinians die either. Their are two leaders here who will let the bodies pile up like chord wood just to satisfy their own agendas.

"Hamas did not need a ceasefire. It had already demonstrated that Israel could not eradicate it. It had achieved its primary goal of wrecking the anti-Iran alliance that was brewing between Israel and the major Arab Gulf states. And it doesn’t care about how many Palestinians get killed — they are all “martyrs” for the cause." Another great article from Gwynne Dyer: https://www.thespec.com/opinion/contributors/israel-hamas-and-the-elusive-ceasefire/article_fccf4a52-3713-52d4-8fa1-7d92b45107ec.html

So I just tried opting into (https://brid.gy/mastodon/@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org).

I found it confusing. For one thing, it asks me for my Mastodon account. Though Akkoma uses Mastodon’s API, not all sites recognize this nor support it—I don’t know if BridgyFed would reject.

Secondly, it’s not clear how to opt in. I think I opted in but there was nothing to say “Congrats! People from can see you!”

Also, how do I receive posts? That’s not apparent to me.

@cragsand @atomicpoet @fediversenews @bsky.brid.gy I think it's busted. I just tried it and all I get is a code listing.

Rick Bowness started his coaching career in 1982 with the Winnipeg Jets. Over forty years and 2600 plus games later in the NHL, the circle has closed and Bones has announced his retirement as head coach of the Winnipeg Jets. Thanks for the memories coach.

I love hearing AI advocares talk about "guard rails" and "safety procedures". We're actively building an intellegence that supercedes our own. It's like a monkey saying it's developed safety procedures to keep the humans in line.

@Diggler67 All you have to do is look at how we treat other species to know how we would be treated.

@Diggler67 I'm a huge Dyer fan. Id say he's a mentor as much as journalist/commentator can be one. I'll have to give it a read.

WhatsApp Spam has been increasingly annoying recently, how can someone be calling me on WhatsApp that ISN'T a WhatsApp user?

@ErikUden I moved to Signal a long time ago and it suites my needs.

When I am president of the world, I'm going to forbid NHL teams from using "Enter Sandman" for anything.

@BorealWife When I'm president of the world people driving slow in the left lane will be drone striked.

@BorealWife The drone operators will be busy and the re-education camps will be full.
