Radim Zohorna was easily the Penguins’ best bottom-six forward through the first month of this season. Several months later, however, the big fella now finds himself down in the minors with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. His career arc with the Penguins serves as a valuable lesson about players on the fringe. I didn’t think much of it when Kyle Dubas signed Zohorna during the offseason. He was coming off a 2022-23 campaign in which he played just 10 NHL games (eight with the Flames, two with the Maple Leafs) and had a lone goal to show for the entirety of his production.

Quite a few Americans like the idea of strongman rule.  Why not a dictator who will get things done?  I lived in eastern Europe when memories of communism were fresh.  I have visited regions in Ukraine where Russia imposed its occupation regime.  I have spent decades reading testimonies of people who lived under Nazi or Stalinist rule.  I have seen death pits, some old, some freshly dug. And I have friends who have lived under authoritarian regimes, including political prisoners and survivors of torture.

The Tortured Poets Department is a concept album based on the life of Sylvia Plath & Ted Hughes. Naturally Swift weaves in her own experiences (even specific details) but ultimately the songs are not about Swift's ex's individually or in sum total, the arc of the album is Plath's life. If you truly want to understand this album you'll need to read Plath & Hughes. Swift's mastery is not singularly for music, but encompasses poetry and literature as well.
