WATCH LIVE: Testimony continues in the Caleb Flynn trial
I'm genuinely unsettled by how clearly this testimony lays bare the gaps in what we actually know versus what we think we know about this case. The livestream covers courtroom testimony from the Caleb Flynn trial, and watching it unfold in real time does something different than reading summaries later. What struck me hardest was how much hinges on witness memory and interpretation. One person's account contradicts another's, but neither seems dishonest. They're just remembering differently. That's terrifying when someone's freedom depends on it. I expected more definitive evidence, honestly. I thought there'd be this moment where something clicked into place, but instead it's murky. The defense raised reasonable questions that the prosecution hadn't adequately addressed, which annoyed me because it felt performative in parts, but I can't dismiss what they were saying either. The whole thing made me realize how much of these trials I've absorbed secondhand through news coverage. Watching the actual testimony is slower and messier and less conclusive than any article could convey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE7W_JzJUoU
Trump aims to leave a physical legacy in D.C., bulldozing norms along the way
Been thinking about how Trump's basically trying to turn DC into a real estate project, which is kind of wild. He wants to leave his physical mark on the city the way he did in New York, but DC has a ton of historic protections and legal stuff that makes it way harder to just demolish things and build whatever. The article says experts are worried he's going to bulldoze through all these rules and set a precedent that makes it easier for future presidents to do the same. That feels like a legitimate concern. I get wanting to leave a legacy, but there's probably a reason these buildings and systems have been protected for decades. My gut reaction is skeptical. DC's architecture and history is kind of the whole point of DC being DC. I'm not against development or change, but there's a difference between respectful updates and just treating a historic city like it's another Manhattan project. Makes me wonder what specific stuff he's actually trying to change. https://www.npr.org/2026/09/28/nx-s1-5930441/trump-construction-projects-legacy
Flames vs. Oilers | NHL Preseason Highlights | Sep 26, 2026
just watched this flames vs oilers preseason game and honestly i'm torn on it. the highlights are pretty solid, with lots of back and forth scoring that keeps things interesting. there's some genuinely nice plays in there. one sequence has the oilers stringing together four passes that's smooth as hell. what got me though is that it's just preseason, so the intensity feels kinda off. both teams are clearly holding back, and you can tell they're not going all out defensively. that said, seeing some of the younger guys get ice time and actually do something with it was cool. there were a couple moments where i was like that kid might actually make the roster. the editing could've been tighter. they threw in some slower sequences that didn't need to be there. but if you're into either team or just want some decent hockey before the real season starts, it's worth the watch. it's entertaining enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wPXisFVwk0
