I straight-up do not like the Milwaukee Brewers.
But make no mistake: they earned this World Series title. A truly dominant run.
Happy for Brewers faithful and for the City of Milwaukee, which I've visited a few times. The fans and the city deserve this.
Congrats, Brewers.
This super-gaudy 90s-inspired concept I came up with in like 10 minutes is unironically better than the Red Wings' HTR jersey
I want this too.
Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are zealots whose incendiary rhetoric and reckless behavior represent a liability to the security and international standing of the State of Israel.
They should not be members of any government.
Trump wants Israel’s next government to exclude Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, unnamed American sources told Walla.
According to Idan Kweller’s report, the sources say Trump believes settler violence is undermining his regional vision. Ben-Gvir leads Otzma Yehudit; Smotrich heads the Religious Zionist Party.
The account of Trump’s coalition preferences is based on unnamed sources.
Idan Kweller reports for Walla, via The Jerusalem Post:

I think #Blackhawks fans are going to love Roman Kantserov.
He's such a tough and gutsy player, not to mention his scoring ability.
Something clicked for the #Blackhawks tonight.
Their forechecking improved. They were much more creative and aggressive with the puck. Zone entries were better.
I don't know what happened, but tonight was certainly a step in the right direction.
Let's see this trend continue.

Missing some context here.
There was, in fact, a political party in Israel that long embraced the possibility of a Palestinian state. That was the Labor Party. But then the second intifada happened, the Palestinian Authority abandoned any pretense of democracy, and Hamas was elected in Gaza, killed off the opposition — and then, well, attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, murdering more than 1,200.
Had the Palestinians, at any step along the way, accepted the Jewish state, and embraced self-rule, they would, no doubt, be in a very different place today. They might even have a state.
But because Palestinians can’t push past their hatred of Israel, because so many of their “supporters” insist on viewing them as toddlers and encourage that hatred (financially and otherwise), they remain confined to a quasi-permanent liminality. Which is awful for Palestinians but very useful for those who wish to use them as a cudgel with which to bludgeon Israel.
But the six million Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank aren't Israeli citizens. Of course they're not eligible to vote in Israeli elections.
Same reason Canadians can't vote in American elections.
Soccer phenom Kylian Mbappé has been forced to apologize after (correctly) labeling Mao Zedong a dictator.
And yet Israel is the country we're supposedly not allowed to criticize.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign.

I do think people are overrating this jersey.
Yeah, it's decent, but it's also supremely lazy. Just copying the first "Mighty Ducks" movie's homework, as far as I'm concerned.
It also doesn't help that I'm not a very big fan of the "Mighty Ducks" franchise lmao
In case you’re more of a squinting person than a scrolling person…
We now have TWENTY of the upcoming Hometown Remix jerseys, nearly 2/3rds of the league. Who’s in the lead for your favorite?

It will never cease to amaze me that we actually won the Stanley Cup in 1938 lmao
A side note: the goalie pictured is Mike Karakas, the starting goaltender who helped lead the #Blackhawks to their insanely improbable 1938 Stanley Cup championship
In and of itself, I don't hate the #Blackhawks HTR jersey.
But more could've been done.
Yes, our look is iconic, but when I see what the Habs, Pens and Oilers did their HTRs, this one plays it way too safe.
If we wanted to go green, why not replicate the AHA Chicago Shamrocks?

Commenting as a #Blackhawks fan who loves the Red Wings' jerseys.
I get not wanting to fuck with a great thing (basically the reason why our HTR jersey is a green recolor of our red primary), but yes, this HTR really cheapens the Wings' iconic look.
Really sucks.
The Red Wings' Hometown Remix jersey is terrible. 2nd worst jersey in franchise history. Looks like a Walmart fan jersey. Huge pass here.

This is what I came up with
ek65 news and updates™ personal ranking. made the tier list public in case anyone else wants to do this.
tiermaker.com/create/nhl-hom…
My thoughts:
Hawks should've done more.
Not a fan of city and number on front, but Bruins' HTR isn't terrible.
Oilers' HTR is better than their current alternate.
Red Wings' HTR is a HUGE disappointment.
Penguins' HTR is audacious, but cool.
Canadiens' HTR is my favorite.
