Top: Whitecaps stadium. Bottom: practice rinks. Basement: uh, data centres probably.
Vancouver Canucks are reportedly now looking at putting their new practice facility in Downtown Vancouver, an alternative to the controversial Britannia rink idea.
There could be as many as 3 ice rinks at the new facility. #NHL #vanre #vancre #vanpoli

why is he dressed like Joey from Friends though
One memory I always have of Patrick Stewart is that in one year TV Guide ran a reader’s poll for the sexiest man and woman on TV. And even before the Internet, somehow the Star Trek fans created a campaign to try and get Patrick Stewart to win. And they succeeded!
At the time it was a funny shock. Even the cover of the TV Guide called it a “surprise”! People seemed to mention a lot that he was bald and that it was odd for a bald man to win sexiest man, let alone it being Patrick Stewart from Star Trek of all people! Especially given that his counterpart who won sexiest woman was Cindy Crawford!
The funny thing is that if people were told today that Patrick Stewart won sexiest man on TV one year during TNG’s run, I don’t think anyone these days would think it odd or anything. It almost sounds silly to describe it how I remembered it was back then, that it was a shock and almost a laughable result that he’d won. I feel like people nowadays would react with, “Yeah? He should have won!”

Parents, PLEASE check your kids’ Halloween candy. I just found a Snickers bar filled with Nathan MacKinnon's Olympic Gold Medal wide open miss
To be fair, one of the biggest differences I feel when I go to the US from Canada is it somehow feels like people are always barking orders at you wherever you go. Land of the free!

Patrick Stewart's stories from DUNE are pretty great. There's a whole thing about how David Lynch was disappointed when he showed up because ... well, I won't spoil it. And then this, on his first conversation with Sting, is quite funny:
Patrick Stewart was amazing, a bygone sort of actor with working-class ethics and classical aesthetics. One of the most generally beloved men in Hollywood. Could play a nasty villain! Great actor, he will be missed. thebulwark.com/p/patrick-ste…

Stephen Eustaquio got things rolling for Swansea City, scoring the opening goal in a big 4-goal win over Blackburn Rovers 🇨🇦

I'd take Goodman in net too... and actually I've been down on Dayne this year, but one thing that shocked me is his passing accuracy is up to 84% this season from 58% at Minnesota. I don't think we've actually seen his peak form yet.

Mike himself said on Reddit that they were at a loss on how to resurrect downed player before they bleed to death in a futuristic tabletop without a cleric armed with healing magic, and coincidentally his paramedic friend yapped about airborne ambulance, so Trauma Team was born.

> カナダは、現在、先進国の中で、普通の人々を受け入れようとする唯一の国🇨🇦
普通の人の水準に議論の余地はありそうだけど、僕もこれは実はこころの中で思ってる。今回のEE制度変更も改悪だって人は多いけど、健全な国の運営という目線でみても、大分まともな制度変更だと思うし、他国の移民やビザ制度の話を聞けば聞くほど、今の時代においてまともな移民制度で運営しているのはカナダは筆頭だと思ってはいる
超優秀ならどこの国でもやってけるので、普通の基準についてはいつも議論されるけどね
说句容易被杠的实话：
加拿大，是目前发达国家里，唯一还愿意接纳普通人的国家🇨🇦
美英澳全面锁门内卷，隐形门槛、背景筛选、玄学拒签层出不穷。
唯独加拿大，移民是国家级刚需。
全程公开打分制，无暗箱、无人脉壁垒、不拼家底。
年轻、有学历、会语言、有工作经验，靠自己就能稳稳上岸。
会法语更是直接开外挂，低分弯道超车，甩开90%内卷申请人。
加拿大并不完美：冬天冷、税费高、需要沉淀耐心。
但在所有发达国家里，它是最公平、最不搞阶层垄断的移民赛道
不靠运气、不靠关系，普通人努力就能改写人生、给家庭兜底。
这里不适合想躺平暴富的。
想要稳定身份、优质生活、孩子教育资源的，加拿大依旧是最优解。
灵魂提问：
你觉得现在还有比加拿大对普通人更友好的发达国家吗？
有没有正在移民路上被各种玄学政策坑过的人？
