“Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered… I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies… The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." — Thomas Jefferson

The Colorado Avalanche loaded up at this year’s trade deadline for a deep cup run. Could this be their year again? If the team stays healthy, they now look like a top four team in the NHL. A first round against their former teammate Mikko Rantanen would make for one heck of a storyline. https://denvergazette.com/sports/colorado-avalanche/avalanche-macfarland-stanley-cup-rantanen/article_452ad9fc-fbae-11ef-ab1e-db6aaa66a358.html

I watched Transformers: One on a recent flight and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Good writing & characterization. I’m not sure if the development of the early lives of Megatron & Optimus is considered cannon, but it did a good job of explaining what caused the rift between the two & where the decepticons come from & what there agenda is. Solid flick! The most I have enjoyed from #transformers franchise since the first live action film & of course #BeastWars. #movies

Today’s trades by the #coloradoavalanche are huge swings that could pay off long term. Potentially addressing the 2C position and creating a potentially dominant top four D for many years to come. With Nichsuskin and potentially Landeskog returning, the #Avs look positioned for another deep playoff and cup run. #GoAvsGo #nhl #hockey

(1/2) I was a #wrestling fan for a few years of childhood and then again in my teens—all during the 90s. I started to pay attention to it again last year at the encouragement of a friend. Sting was my favorite, along with RVD and Mick Foley. Watching Sting’s last match and his following speech and presser was cathartic as a fan. Terms like icon and legend are thrown around a lot these days in a variety of industries. Hero is another term that is used loosely on occasion. #aew #aewrevolution

Hello #nostr! 👋 Very curious to see how this platform evolves. #introductions

The upcoming #Crow movie flew under my radar until just recently when a friend brought it to my attention. I’m a big fan of the original film, soundtrack, and graphic novel. They had a big influence on me during my development through adolescence and into adulthood. I think the original film is untouchable but part of me genuinely hopes that the new film will be solid to great. Skärsgard is a good actor and the director seems to have genuine reverence for the franchise. #thecrow #movies🤞🏻🐦‍⬛
