Hyperion, The Terror, Summer of Night all absolutely legendary. Simmons himself got driven crazy by 9/11 but I think his best work would still hold up.

It doesn't seem right that Milo and Tina just go away forever now that the Olympics are over. They should be named mascots for something else, or perhaps elected to Parliament.

Shout out to these heroes.

A good bit to do when the weather’s bad is to tell your adopted pet they’d still be sleeping out there if it weren’t for you and they should really be more grateful.

Many times have I wondered if I'd ever see this in my lifetime.

(handing the most heartbroken, disgusted-looking hockey player a stuffed animal) congratulazioni! enjoy the stoat

At least the Tkachuks were bad enough that I don't have to feel any fondness for them going forward.

Yer all right, Jack.

Connor Hellebuyck is the greatest American hero.

You’re telling me that once this is over I have to just go back to watching the Rangers

Guerin being totally validated in taking PK/faceoff guys would be so funny.

Getting Punch the macaque vibes from Quinn here.

Why do the biathletes not simply shoot the other guys if they ski past

In some ways Olympic hockey is very unlike NHL hockey—starts on time, fewer ads—and that’s good. In other ways it’s very much the same—JT Miller and Vincent Trocheck play for my team—and that’s bad.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

That’s Dan❤️‍🩹🦅

I am not going to be tricked into having an opinion online about Eileen Gu, where people can see it.

The big Canada-Sweden curling beef, explained: defector.com/the-big-cana...

Just remembered this piece-of-shit game. The curling was kind of fun though.

Resharing this because the top teams in ice dancing just took the ice — a primer on the dark backstory behind France's viral ice dancing team. They are among the favorites for gold. Gift link:

by the end of this weekend my phone had learned "cablp" without autocorrecting it. please enjoy my trip report: defector.com/criss-angel-...

They should call her Marie-Philip POULET because she was too CHICKEN to play because she knew she'd get her ass kicked! (I hope she's healthy and back to 100 percent real soon.)

Really humiliating to get to Trader Joe’s before it opens and have to mill about outside. “Please sir, mightn’t I have access to your treats?”

I would give my life for Cory and Korey

Curling is so good as high-volume, always-on background viewing. Way better than the endless swimming events in the Summer Games.

Children today will never know the thrill of the Bud Bowl. I swear there were years I cared about the outcome more than that of the actual Super Bowl.

Gojira was pretty much the highlight of the Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony; I would not be opposed to seeing some of Milan's own Lacuna Coil tonight.

What we loved about Dan McQuade:

For those of you who asked if there was any way to help out Dan's family:

Very important news: new bodega cat. I remember when the last one disappeared, I asked where Linda had gone, and the deli owner said (still enigmatically) “she got married.”

I reject this. They’re real robots, and they’re alive, and they’re my friends.

I think the key that unlocks Dan was his desire to share the things he loved with other people. Wouldn’t be the worst way to honor him if we make the effort to do that for the things we love, too. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Pareene!

All right I’m finally sold on Sam Darnold.

I remember an interview with Adams last summer where he said it was brand new to work with a quarterback who asked for input or had any consideration for anyone around him. Sounds like Aaron Rodgers was the worst teammate imaginable.

Terrible football, hilarious game, regrettable outcome

Drake Maye make playe

The late game is going to feel like watching an entirely different sport.

[tiredly] Drake Mighte

It's so cool how every team always suddenly starts making the dumbest decisions when they play New England.

I'm currently reading a book that chronicles every death in the Grand Canyon and it's cheerier and less nasty than Drake Maye's game so far.

Remember, if the Patriots lose, it's because they finally faced a real team, and if the Patriots win, it's because they haven't faced a real team yet.

Cat’s review of the snow: interesting to watch, but the plows make terrifying noises. So, a mixed bag.

The streets of Minneapolis are full of regular people faced with intolerable things. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/intolerabl...
