@jacksfilms Joan is Awful had a solid premise but the writing in the middle was awful. Started strong and ended strong, but the dialogue and direction between Hayek and Murphy was snooze worthy and eye rolling as it was developing. Doesn’t seem as rewatchable as BM should be.

Jake Sanderson has a new nickname. And he’s leaning into it with hats, t-shirts and a sticker on his stick. Plus, Brady Tkachuk meets Sens fans who made the overseas journey & Mads Søgaard talks about joining this trip. It’s a fun column from Stockholm.

@Raezillaa @miketgould They’re literally both terrible, and the one doing the “reporting” pretty much showed he was projecting past, terrible, events from a secondary source onto this current team. No where did I indicate that Babcock is good, he shouldn’t have a job in the NHL.

Journalists are taught to keep quiet and neutral. Don’t get political. Just the facts. . . . . . . Acknowledging disgusting oppressions and violence towards people of colour isn’t political nor is biased. It straight up happens. We see the contrast. I can’t fathom this.

You can both celebrate and criticize your country, there’s nothing wrong with that. You can boycott Canada day. You can point out Canada’s detrimental issues. You can celebrate Canada and still acknowledge that. Every country in the world has something to be ashamed of.
