I've been looking for this tweet. Will pin it to my account as a reminder of the threat of disinformation, doublespeak. xitter.cf/kasparov63/status/8087…
The one play that sums up the Chiefs performance against Seattle for me?
Mahomes best moment was recovering his own fumble under the pile after being flattened from behind.
Not a pass or a scramble.
A fumble recovery.
It’s Election Day in Toronto but you know what else?
October 26 is the only day of the year where there are games in MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL.
MLB: World Series Game 3
NBA: 9 games
NFL: Monday Night Football
NHL: 3 games
You have many viewing options. 😉
A good old fashioned arse kicking for the Chiefs who really aren’t as good as their record and Seattle not as bad as theirs. But there’s reason to be hopeful that KC will be better off for being beaten so handily. Onward. #ChiefsKingdom
The Seattle defense is excellent but Mahomes is missing a lot of throws he usually makes and the Chiefs seem to have given up handing the ball to K9. This is teetering on the edge of a blowout. #SNF

It’s Greek Ontario Day and there’s a big parade on the Danforth in the heart of Greektown.
Joel’s first.
The Josh Simmons saga has been a head scratcher. From his unexplained absence last season to the elaborate medical briefing to the leaked story about his conduct in a team meeting. If nothing else, the Chiefs have probably had enough. A potentially fine career in KC up in smoke.
Cuba could be the next big geopolitical thing which took me down memory lane and to this track by one of my favourite bands, XTC.

This is an odd reaction from the Florida Senator.
Wonder what he made of Trump’s comments 10 days ago about seeking Turkish help with Yemen.
“Erdoğan is a very good friend of mine.”
“I think Erdoğan will do whatever I ask of him.”
“I have great respect for him.”
Canada is lost. This is what the Left does. Socialism at home is never enough.
By embracing Communist China, and now Turkey, PM Carney has turned his back on America & made clear that Canada sides with dictators, terrorists & thugs who threaten the security of the U.S. & sovereignty of our allies.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Turkey is a NATO ally of both the United States and Canada since 1952. Official Canadian statements describe the new Strategic Partnership with Türkiye as deepening cooperation between the two NATO allies on trade, energy, defence and security.

The Josh Simmons Saga summed up well here. Particularly the last line. It’s been a riddle for more than a year now. #ChiefsKingdom
My final thoughts: Medically, if he ends up needing surgery then there’s no rush, it’s usually a 3-4 month recovery. So rehab and take your time, and if surgery is needed then doing it now or in January doesn’t matter that much.
Team wise, it allows everyone to just stop with the daily or weekly check ins. He’s hurt until he starts practicing again, there is nothing needed to be said or updated, simple as that. Provides clarity and some temporary peace from the situation. A situation which I will say one last time has been fishy from the get go.
End scene
Is this Canadian interference in the US election? 😉

Mark Carney: "Very senior U.S. officials have directly made suggestions, intervened, so to speak, in Canadian sovereignty, Canadian democratic processes, encouraged certain outcomes, encouraged certain peoples through that process."
“Just a flesh wound” is now a part of modern parlance.
