“While the Soviet runner was second, the American was next to last.”
/1 Shameful. Further to this from @juliaioffe, I have several friends in Russia who advised me in recent days that they are cutting off communication with the outside world, deleting encrypted communication apps like Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp out of fear of reprisals. https://t.co/cEmKQMVi9v For followers outside Canada, there is the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent. A lot of people feel helpless watching what’s going on in Ukraine. Here’s a tangible way Canadians can help. Should say when I refer to wearing masks in the arenas in Florida, I’m referring to the secure areas where the players/officials are. N95s are required there, but that’s an NHL/team guideline. I’m in Florida, and have had several people tell me to take my mask off in hotel lobbies (they’re still required at the arenas). Why do some people get so angry when others exercise their own freedom of choice which has absolutely no impact on others? "Every time I call it a game, you call it a business. And every time I call it a business, you call it a game."

@GlobeBobRyan Yes the Ukrainian people have been incredibly strong, but they are under extraordinary strain. This from a friend in Kyiv this morning. https://t.co/gISI3Kqvgy Chills. Hi-Q! Happy to say that our TSN Hockey crews are back on-site for all of our US-based games. https://t.co/nlKtlWEeFD They lost me a while ago. From another friend in Kyiv. This morning, she put her 10 year old son in a car with relatives to go to safety. She is staying behind in Kyiv “to fight for our land.”
We are quite rightly talking about the heroism of the Ukrainian people, but this is taking an awful toll. https://t.co/qE1B0L8sg7 Amazingly well written and researched by @ruthbenghiat Started reading this book a couple of weeks ago. Good timing. https://t.co/rGSljzeJl6 Expecting an announcement from the @iihfhockey soon as well. The IIHF Council held an emergency meeting via teleconference today. The work of @CNN reporters has been amazing. Like many in Ukraine, my friends have shut off location services on their phones to avoid being tracked, which limits access to some social media sites. They are getting news from other sources, and are encouraged by the demonstrations of support taking place around the world. Update: I had not heard from my friend for nearly 24 hours and he also went quiet on our Telegram group chat. I’m relieved to report that he just checked in, he is fine. (I won’t post a screenshot as it contains names)
“It is almost Monday, Kyiv is free, we are free,” he said. Some federations are calling for a ban on teams from Belarus as well. The 2023 World Junior Championship is scheduled to be played in Novosibirsk and Omsk in December/January. There is also a possibility that the Men’s World Championship, scheduled for St. Petersburg in the spring of 2023 could be moved, but that decision may not come tomorrow. Based on what I’m hearing, there is wide support for:
-immediate removal of Russian teams from all @IIHFHockey events for the rest of 2022, including the World Championship and the World Junior Championships scheduled for August and December.
-moving the 2023 WJC out of Russia The Telegram app is a very powerful tool, and it’s not only Ukrainians who are using it to communicate. Every Russian I know uses it (or Signal). A lot of information gets into Russia and gets circulated this way. The Russian owner of Chelsea of the EPL. Strong words from Dominik Hasek @hasek_dominik We may someday speak about Ukraine’s Civil Defence Union (the civilians fighting alongside the Ukrainian military) in the same reverential terms as the French Underground and the Polish Resistance. A follow up message: https://t.co/ZdLsWmS5tE From another friend in Kyiv, who has joined the Civil Defence Union (civilians who are fighting alongside Ukrainian troops): https://t.co/cSg3N2PkMg From the CEO of the Ukrainian Ice Hockey Federation: https://t.co/yLka1nzxUO A text message from a friend in Ukraine: https://t.co/jTriWca0RL The man 3rd from the left in the photo is former NHL player Dmitri Kristich. He called today from Ukraine asking us to pass on a message: “We are fighting hard, doing our best. We need you to tell the Russian people what is really going on. All they hear is propaganda and lies.” https://t.co/HhGYiS9zyn In December, a delegation from the Ukrainian Ice Hockey Federation visited Canada to research ways to improve their development system. As a thank you for putting them in touch with people in Canada, they gave me a personalized jersey. Several of them are fighting in Kyiv today. https://t.co/YW2UMGx4Ax Truth is a formidable weapon. This is an interesting idea, but in some ways it’s exactly what Russia wants. The Russian Hockey Federation has been pushing young players (Matvei Michkov) to sign long contracts delay them from going to North America. The Russians want their top players at home in the KHL. I spoke today with friends who live in Kyiv. They are sending their son west with relatives and their children. My friends in Kyiv are staying and will fight. “This is our country, we cannot leave,” they said. There were some I spoke with who felt it would be unfair to punish Russian athletes-especially teenagers-for what their government has done. Others feel that Russian teams cannot be allowed to participate under the current circumstances. /end Then there is the larger issue of Russian participation. The people I communicated with were split on Russian teams being barred from participating. There is precedent, both South Africa and Serbia were banned from international sports competition in the last 50 years.
/5 Going back to Alberta could happen, Edmonton and Red Deer hosted 2020 in a bubble, and had the 2021 event cancelled mid-tournament, but is it too much to ask them to do it twice in 5 months? /4 The World Junior tournament is trickier, finding a host city/cities with this little notice could be difficult. Alberta will host the rescheduled 2021 tournament in August, Canada would be one of the few places that could host it again in December, but where? /3 The Men’s Worlds could be moved to Switzerland, which was to host the 2020 tournament. That event was cancelled due to the pandemic, but the arenas and infrastructure were already in place. The loss of Russian sponsors is a financial blow they are more than willing to accept. /2 #NewProfilePic https://t.co/i0oxIJlUtQ Jokerit was scheduled to play Spartak Moscow in the first round of the KHL playoffs. The majority owner of Jokerit is Jari Kurri, the team plays in Helsinki at Russian-owned Hartwall Arena, scheduled to be one of the venues for the upcoming Men’s World Championship in Finland. As @Sz1909_Szemberg has pointed out, former @IIHFHockey president Rene Fasel had (and still has) a very cozy relationship with Vladimir Putin and Russia. If Fasel was still in charge, the two tournaments would go ahead. This is a crucial test for new IIHF president Luc Tardif. https://t.co/nUta1nfBKj Sports may not seem very important at a time like this, but they’re very important to Russia financially and in terms of prestige. The @IIHFHockey has two major tournaments, the 2023 World Juniors and the 2023 Men’s Worlds, scheduled for Russia in the next 15 months. According to this article by @mirtle, the Leafs roster moves yesterday (designed to maximize cap room created by placing Jake Muzzin on LTI) put them a new iphone ($899) from the cap ceiling. Appreciate the people who have reached out to express concern, I’m fine and back at the hotel.
My Twitter minders advise me that they have shut down comments on the original Tweet based on some offensive messages that were posted in the replies (those replies are now hidden). Some Breaking Ottawa news: I went to the Rideau Centre Mall to grab lunch, we were just told to leave immediately, heavily armed Ottawa Police have arrived on scene. https://t.co/RsXTugChRk Just to be clear, Denyskin is suspended for a year, the Ukrainian Men’s National Team (which likely has more pressing concerns right now) is not. “Don’t worry kid,” Hull called out. “If you don’t move, it won’t hit you.” My favourite Brett Hull story: I’m in Detroit before the morning skate, Wings goalie coach Jim Bedard is working with a local 15 year old AAA goalie. Hull goes on the ice, grabs a puck, steps across the blue line and wires a shot top corner, sending the kid diving out of the net. Another gem from Tottenham Manager Antonio Conte: I’m picturing the duffel bag of mic flags he has to carry around with him. Good to visit one of my favourite haunts, Metropolitan Brasserie @MetroBrasserie_ in Ottawa tonight. Located right next to the epicentre of the protests, the management and staff endured a difficult three weeks, as did a lot of businesses in the area. https://t.co/0FV6Wvah1K At the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, @TSNBobMcKenzie and I went to the McDonald’s in the dining hall at the broadcast centre, which was full of heavily armed police officers and soldiers. “Geez Gordo,” Bob wisecracked. “The Hamburglar wouldn’t stand a chance in this place.” Judging by the heavy police presence (in shorts and t-shirts), I would say our hotel gym in Ottawa is the safest workout facility in the country today. In the grand scheme of things, hockey is a small part of the equation, but the sport is important to Russia, financially and in terms of prestige at home and abroad. We’ve seen boycotts (Olympics) and sport sanctions (South Africa/Serbia) before. Could we see them again? (end) Again, even if the @IIHFHockey doesn’t take steps in the event of a Russian invasion, would a boycott of those two events by the other competing nations be possible? It might not even be in the hands of the hockey federations, national governments could make that call. (6/7) Further out, Russia is scheduled to host the 2023 World Junior Championship in December and the Men’s Worlds in May of 2023. New arenas have been built in Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg to host the two events, which stand to be very lucrative and high-profile for Russia. (5/7) This summer, the US will host the Women’s U18 tournament, Canada will host the Hlinka/Gretzky U18 tournament and the World Juniors in August. Since severe travel restrictions to and from Russia are among the sanctions being discussed, would their teams be allowed to play? (4/7) Then there’s the Men’s World Championship set for Finland in May. If the Russians invade Ukraine, would the @IIHFHockey bar them from competing? That seems unlikely, but it did strip Belarus of it’s co-hosting of the 2021 WC. And again, would the Finnish government step in? (3/7) Start with the KHL, where the playoffs are set to start next Monday. One of the top KHL teams is Jokerit, located in Helsinki, but the team and arena are Russian owned. Jokerit is scheduled to play Spartak Moscow, would the Finnish government bar travel to and from Russia? (2/7) Former Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb @alexstubb (whose father Goran is the long-time head of the NHL’s European Central Scouting Bureau) also weighs in Fasel’s comments. Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen responds to former @IIHFHockey president Rene Fasel, who was critical of the Finns’ style of play en route to the Olympic gold medal. Fasel is not exactly an objective observer, he has a lucrative consulting contract with the Russian Federation. As someone who spends a lot of time in Ottawa (and is back downtown for the next few days), I feel sick for the restaurants and businesses that had to shut down for the last three weeks. That’s one of the reasons we kept staying here during the protest: to keep supporting them. The problem with that Soviet hockey myth is that the current generation of players is measured against it, especially at home in Russia. It’s like they’re chasing the ghost of “The Big Red Machine” that they have no chance of ever catching, because it never existed. This is where @Sz1909_Szemberg differ: I think the notion of Soviet era teams being dominant is a myth. Yes, they won Olympics and World Championships, but the other countries couldn’t send their top players. The only best on best tournament they ever won was the 1981 Canada Cup. Jalonen is a great coach, he’s guided Finnish national teams to gold medals at the World Junior, World Championship and now the Olympics.
The question marks: experience (he’s never coached in North America), age (he’s almost 60) and language (his English isn’t great). What’s interesting is that last fall, the Finns were very optimistic going into an Olympic Men’s hockey tournament that would have featured NHL players.
They liked their chances with a lineup led by the likes of Barkov, Aho, Rantanen, Laine, Heiskanen and Husso/Saros. Updated:
Finland’s recent results in @IIHFHockey Men’s tournaments:
2014: WJC 🥇 WC 🥈Olympic 🥉
2015: U18 🥈
2016: U18 🥇WJC 🥇 WC 🥈
2017: U18 🥈
2018: U18 🥇
2019: WJC 🥇 WC 🥇
2021: WJC 🥉 WC 🥈
2022: Olympic 🥇 Ville Pokka’s lack of scoring in a game didn’t stop @rayferrarotsn from silently mimicking an accordion player every time I called his name in an attempt to crack me up on the air.
His childishness knows no bounds. Pokka! Pokka! Pokka!
(@rayferrarotsn dared me to say that if he scored in a game we did, but it never happened.) https://t.co/Gjivm493Nl Chad Ruhwedel broke into the NHL with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in 2012/13. This latest extension with Pittsburgh is his 7th NHL contract, none of them longer than two years, none for more than $800K.
No big deal, you say? He’s made nearly $6 million in salary so far. Dean Morton, who is retiring as an NHL referee at the end of this season, was drafted by Detroit and played one game for the Red Wings in 1989/90. Perhaps because he scored a goal in his only NHL appearance, Detroit saw fit to retire his #5 in 2014. This is a great accomplishment for @HockeySlovakia. Two of the greatest international hockey celebrations I’ve ever witnessed were Slovak Bronze Medal Game wins at the World Junior Championship in 1999 and 2015. It behooves me to say that @gtconway3d is quite good at this. I’m not sure if I should feel more or less secure about my job.
@HayesTSN @odognine2 @jamiemclennan29 @OverDrive1050 Amazing work by @EvanLSolomon on @ctvnewschannel today. Worth a read from @Sz1909_Szemberg . My take? Hockey on the full international surface (200ft x 100ft as opposed to 200 x 85 in NA) tends to lead to very defensive, low-scoring hockey. Maybe the “hybrid” dimensions being used in Finland and Sweden (200x92) are a good compromise. Another TV producer @Macher68 with a firm grasp of the obvious! Follow the bouncing Brooks. Looks like I left for the airport just in time. It’s getting real here. https://t.co/GKeJhf7zUs At a police checkpoint heading back to the hotel in Ottawa last night:
Me: “How do I get to Nicholas Street from here?”
OPP Officer (smiling): “Couldn’t tell you. I’m from Thunder Bay.” I neglected to include Finland’s silver at last year’s World Championship. Sorry Risto @puckarinen. Finland’s recent results in @IIHFHockey Men’s tournaments:
2014: WJC 🥇 WC 🥈Olympic 🥉
2015: U18 🥈
2016: U18 🥇WJC 🥇 WC 🥈
2017: U18 🥈
2018: U18 🥇
2019: WJC 🥇 WC 🥇
2021: WJC 🥉 WC 🥈
2022: Olympic 🥇or 🥈 2022 WJC of course. What happens to the stats (Bedard’s 4 goal game) from the December tournament? There is precedent that while the games will be replayed, the individual scoring stats will count. That’s what happened when Game 4 of the 1988 Stanley Cup Final was cancelled due to a power outage. 2021 World Junior Championship will be held in Alberta in mid-August (right after the Hlinka/Gretzky U18 tournament Aug 1-6). WJC will be replayed from the start. Women’s U18 originally slated for Sweden in January will be played in the US in late July. It’s a tricky one, there is no salary cap in the playoffs because it’s not practical to have a Long Term Injury exemption, plus rosters are expanded. Something that would make sense? A team’s 20 man lineup for a playoff game can’t exceed that season’s salary cap number. Another performance from the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra. https://t.co/RIV26EMh7g Before we left, with very little notice and with the Prime Minister looking on, we were asked to speak, and @pou29 spoke in two languages to more than 3,000 troops. At the age of 20, speaking to soldiers in a war zone, she gave a moving, inspirational speech.
That was clutch. https://t.co/oB28QHZRgv We visited the Canadian Cemetery in Beny-Sur-Mer, France, went to the original Olympic Stadium in Athens and then to Kandahar, where we visited the Canadian (and other) soldiers posted there. It was a whirlwind of a trip, but as tired as we were, @pou29 was always up for more. https://t.co/h8gqcB43Dr We know all about Marie-Philip Poulin being a clutch player, but as great as she’s been on the ice, this is my favourite story about her:
In 2011, @pou29, Jayna Hefford, Jarome Iginla and I went on a trip to visit Canadian troops in Afghanistan, with stops in France and Greece. https://t.co/fCeblhfYkn In addition to scoring in all four Olympic Gold Medal Games in which she has played, @pou29 has scored a total of seven goals in those games, including the GWGs in 2010, 2014 (Golden Goal) and 2022.
She also scored the Golden Goal in last year’s Women’s World Championship. Most goals all-time, Olympic Women’s Hockey:
GP Goals
Hayley Wickenheiser 🇨🇦 26 18
Marie-Philip Poulin 🇨🇦 22* 17
Meghan Agosta 🇨🇦 20 17
*Through two periods of the 2022 Gold Medal Game. Make that seven goals in four Olympic Gold Medal games for Marie-Philip Poulin. The legend of @pou29 grows. In addition to scoring in all four Olympic Gold Medal Games in which she has played, @pou29 has scored a total of six goals in those games, including the GWG in 2010 and the Golden Goal in 2014. (She also scored the Golden Goal in last year’s Women’s World Championship.) Being selected to work for OBS is a huge honour, and means that you are considered one of the very best in the world at what you do. Proud to say that there are a lot of TSN people working on that crew tonight. Prior to the Can/USA gold medal game in Beijing, a tip of the cap to the Olympic Broadcast Services (OBS) crew led by TSN producer Chris Edwards ⁦@CEdwardsTSN⁩. They’ll be supplying the pictures and audio to all the networks showing the game, the crew is 90% Canadian. https://t.co/O4eFeVqyNK Ssshh @davidfrum, agent Bieber is on it. Don’t blow his cover.
@gtconway3d https://t.co/1eBRNtAeNz And it should be pointed out that the originator of some of the most inventive TSN pools was none other than @davehodge20, who came up with (among others) the “No Goals” pool, where the most valuable players were the ones who played the most games in a season without scoring. I remember being severely admonished early on in my TSN career for the unpardonable sin of mentioning the over/under during a hockey broadcast.
(TSN, by the way, has long been a nefarious nest of gambling, arcane office pools and late-night card games.) In 2002, it was ruled that Slovakia’s NHL players-many of whom were already in Salt Lake City- couldn’t play in the pre-Olympic qualifying tournament. GM Peter Stastny seethed as his team didn’t qualify, but months later the Slovaks gained revenge, winning the World Championship. The 6-6 tall Anttila is a legend in Finland, nicknamed “the Groke” after a fictional giant with a hill-shaped body, two cold staring eyes and a wide row of white shiny teeth. Wherever it stands, the ground below freezes and plants and grass die. The recruitment of secret agent Bieber (codename @justinbieber) to infiltrate the United States was a key element in the evil Canadian takeover plot uncovered last night by @gtconway3d Solid Leonard Cohen reference by the great Natasha Stoynoff @Tashka9 Lot going on here. I’ve died on TV, it’s not as bad as it sounds. What a writer. “Holidays in Hell” is a fantastic book. RIP. Glad to be back in Ottawa tonight, and to be once again staying downtown. Looking forward to visiting local restaurants and businesses over the next few days. https://t.co/Oe076FgVfU A good, thoughtful thread here from former @IIHFHockey executive @Sz1909_Szemberg. You can pick on the NHL for a lot of things, but it does the trophy presentation far better than the NBA, NFL and MLB. Gary Bettman presents the trophy to a player (the team captain), not the owner. https://t.co/AODlHKEFpj I f****** knew it. I just know that blown PAT is going to cost me the cover. Here go go again…not all losing streaks are created equal. If you lose 10 straight in OT/SO, you gain ten points (and are a .500 team by the NHL’s math). And lots of teams get satisfaction scoring late to tie, even if they lose in Ot/SO, because they gained a point. Technically it’s not a 10 game losing streak for Montreal. Because the first two losses were in OT, it’s a 10 game winless streak. #silverlining I’ve been honoured to attend several Remembrance Day ceremonies at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, including the most recent one last November. To see this solemn place desecrated like this leaves me sad and angry beyond words. My friend @rattoindy is badly misrepresenting himself here. Yes, he’s almost certainly a psycopath, but I’ve never known him to be a hater. As for the “cuddles” part, I’m sure someone somewhere tried at some point. I hate to give ⁦@RattoIndy⁩ credit, because he’s insufferable enough as it is, but this a great piece on the hiring of ⁦@CammiGranato⁩ and how it might work with ⁦@rayferrarotsn⁩ . https://t.co/OrbN5SYslh The most knee-knocking, white-knuckle walk in the NHL: across the catwalk, over the clock to the broadcast booth in Calgary. https://t.co/f8d2V2GIKb So happy for @CammiGranato, who I’ve been honoured to know for more than 25 years. An Olympic gold medalist, world champion, trailblazer, role model, published author and now an up and coming hockey executive. Hopefully one of these days she’ll decide to focus on just one thing! @Jeff2B02 @DCDPR Thank you! @Jeff2B02 Hi Jeff -- Any chance we can get a reaffirmation Francis Pool opens, and on time, this summer?

Alas, the Ebbing Haus has been operating out of the home office and for personal business only. Probably for the best ;) @CrystalGwizdala @NSF Thank you, Crystal!! @dstephenlindsay @NSF Thank you, Steve! Looking forward to continuing to learn from you as a leader in SBE. @MiriamGodwin4 Thank you, Miriam!! You helped show the way, I am following your example! :) If you have ideas in the realm of partnerships and innovation for SBE sciences, I would love to speak with you. Please direct professional correspondence to kadesoto@nsf.gov. And as always, these tweets, and my other messages, do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer! Now, I'm thrilled to join Dr. Kellina Craig-Henderson, head of SBE at NSF, as a member of SBE's senior leadership team. In my work, I'll be focused on brokering partnerships and strengthening engagement and outreach to grow SBE's connections with a variety of audiences. As I depart APS, I'd like to especially thank @GroppRobert and Sarah Brookhart for their leadership, collegiality, and mentorship as APS leaders and my supervisors; and my current and past colleagues at APS, who have worked tirelessly to keep the organization running. If for some reason you want even more along these lines, I direct you to @cMadan's great new book, "Academia and the World Beyond," which contains a number of Q&As, mine included. Here's a link: https://t.co/WKOJZ56WfY. Read the other great chapters before you read mine. If you'd like to read a little retrospective on some of my work at APS, and my thoughts on government relations and advocacy, check out this interview, which I am so appreciative that my former colleagues were open to publishing: https://t.co/gTR0X2UvW6 It's bittersweet to leave government relations at @PsychScience, where I spent 7 years advocating on behalf of research psychology to U.S. federal agencies and Congress. But now I turn my skills to promoting the full range of SBE science for the good of NSF and its mission. I'm super excited to share a professional update: I've started a new position as the senior advisor in @NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic (SBE) Sciences Directorate, where I'll be focused on partnerships and innovation. 🧵→ @McdonielMeghan Hi, Dr. McDoniel!!! @hapahaiku @ambernoelle @rebeccamakkai No If you are a leader of science and people in the social, behavioral, and/or economic research domains, I invite you to apply for the deputy assistant director role in NSF's SBE directorate. Please find more information about the opportunity here: https://t.co/x8LXCRnuU7 Just when I think Florida and Mass can't get any worse. Ahh! This construction! @Jeff2B02 @RockCreekNPS Thank you for writing back :) Hey, @RockCreekNPS, any estimates on when the pedestrian/bike path next to the Zoo, avoiding that tunnel, will be open? Thank you. Cool feature. https://t.co/TY94OXTVjc @feadeh Not faculty, but I have always loved using a large monitor and wouldn't ever consider switching to two smaller ones. Looks like a sweet opportunity for an early-career psychological scientist: https://t.co/PcWKdkIGCe https://t.co/dWp3Ifikl0 They're installing beautiful new lights into the Dupont North canopy -- thanks @wmata! @PoPville @Jeff2B02 https://t.co/FSSfZqL3CQ https://t.co/hh2A2QAXP4 Why did Google Photos change my backup & sync settings to "storage saver" without asking? @mjbsp @JoeHilgard Uhh... may have to get one of these... thanks @mjbsp @JoeHilgard Wait, can you all tell me more about this @feadeh I'll give Georgia a try next time. Don't you have a GA background?? Are you being primed? ;) @feadeh (That's Candara, Constantia, Corbel, Cambria, Calibri, and Consolas, for those not in the know--the new ones introduced for Word 2007. I used to be a Cambria stan) @feadeh Even Georgia > Garamond. Garamond is the Candara of the C fonts @feadeh Not sure you can ;) too flowery, weirdly proportioned. Maybe a very small pt size. Calibri is fine but hard to beat TNR @feadeh No @PoPville Farewell, Soto... https://t.co/yIcHSqgW2L @William_Herbig @CapitalJeff Probably better times to bring this up @CapitalJeff Shoot. Wishing you a speedy recovery. @311DCgov Walk sign does not illuminate heading west on north side of 20th and P NW intersection https://t.co/2rJb64Y0vn Seeing more and more of these left-behind Amazon delivery bags, which at best are trash and at worse hazards on the road -- watching cars swerve around this thing, not knowing what's in it https://t.co/DZuuClw1me @CrystalGwizdala Nice!! @_DCHealth Hello! Will the rat class tomorrow be recorded? Thanks! @311DCgov Crosswalk sign on SW corner of 21 and P NW not facing those walking 'cross https://t.co/lNpUJy4esU @CapitalJeff I heard that the whole block is roped off, big police presence, "incident at hotel" from police, maybe a mysterious package?

I will buy that one off of your desk!! Please consider joining us! https://t.co/xrk1ySKMVY @DKThomp I like the article a lot, but the name implies that millennials are to blame or somehow have been complicit in all of this. No, most of these financial details have been opaque to the end user. @Objective_Ji Congratulations, sir!! @adamschwartz42 @wmata @WashProbs He lives by the trash can there. Often if you don't see him right away, peek over the ledge. He likes to sit on a raised area. A big congratulations to Dr. Carter-Sowell! @MikeInDeeCee1 Thank you.

It's been under construction all off-season; the work couldn't finish? Was one of the perks of the neighborhood. @Jeff2B02 Sure you saw this already, but if not: https://t.co/RjbuSrhm6K Time is running out to register for the COVID-19 and Today’s Workplace preconference at #apschi22.

Outside of the post office/Streets! They won't be there for long, I am reading! @RLLongyear @PoPville We walked by again a few minutes ago, and they were starting to get active, cling to us.

#sedecordle If you read one thing today -- or this week -- I hope it will be @becky_koenig's monumental story on the pathways high schoolers take as they they graduate. Treat yourself to a cup of coffee and croissant as you read: https://t.co/OEpkiJt890 https://t.co/V2jGOLz2TW https://t.co/tZhxgOTVVh What on earth is this figure https://t.co/QqHECLbOzC https://t.co/5c2ygCfpqh @khayeswilson The initial back-and-forth over email was glacially slow, but then suddenly they were like, "Hey, bring it to a UPS store and we'll take care of it," and it was back in like a week. It might have been out of warranty also by a few months. Was really surprised. @kimberlychiew I miss that! We didn't do it often enough. Also kills me that we took that 30-minute bus ride to go two miles... how about Bike to Work coffee in front of the history museum? @khayeswilson Used "shop" as a turn of phrase, sadly -- Breville support had me ship it back for free and worked their magic. Maybe one advantage of going w/ "prosumer" brand rather than, say, used professional market. Was a little torn on what the right call was when I bought mine! My espresso machine is back from the shop, so if anyone notices an increase in particularly energetic, enthusiastic emails from me -- you've been warned! https://t.co/pyGJGy3PVu 🟨🟨⬛⬛⬛
