Rain appears to have turned to clumpy, wet snow here in D.C. If it keeps coming down this heavy for a while, we’re definitely going to get some notable accumulation

I’m doing a Peloton scenic ride up a seaside South Korean highway and I came up on this large building with a lovely, cliffside view and just burst out laughing when it turned out to be a Coffee Bean

We’ve put 1,000+ miles on our cargo e-bike since buying it a year or two ago and drastically reduced our short trips in the car around the city

Bought this on a whim today. Any suggestions on the best ways to use it?

Somebody get that man to a dentist

It’s crazy to me that events that COULD have sudden death/golden goal don’t. The next goal wins the Olympics! How do you get better than that?

I never want to know any more about this take than this. Please do not try to tell me in the replies. Let it live undisturbed, like an endangered species too fragile to be exposed to the outside world

I was honestly a bit surprised Disney even let them release Season 2

Man, there’s been precious few moments recently to be proud about Oakland sports. Hell yeah, Alysa Liu.

This reminds me of when I found out, while researching a story, that Perfect Game used to rank 4-year-old T-ball teams

lol perfect timing. Anyway, new Pretty Good coming tomorrow

The correct answer, with the lowest chance of complete embarrassment, is cross-country skiing. As long as you have enough fitness to get up the small hills and enough feel (after a year) not to crash on the downhills, you can look like you know what you’re doing out there, just much slower

750,000+ dead kids abroad from USAID cuts to fund this, ICE expansion, and personal security for the bureaucrats implementing all of it with your tax dollars

This is incredible

Oakland shoutout

The guy commentating big air just said, “Like golf, there are three holes and you get one mulligan.” I…have questions

“The Christmas Adventurers” was too subtle, I guess

We’re about to dump our Roku TV anyway because it’s so buggy, but stuff like this getting jammed into our recommendations is only speeding that process up

Oh, cool, this is literally my commute to work

I am pleasantly surprised to see local TV news in Boston covering the issue of blocked bike lanes. Frankly, bike lane stories year-round should focus on safety like this article does.

I said it to my wife last night after Chloe Kim’s silver (which she performed well to earn!) but it feels like this year’s NBC coverage has set a gold-or-bust standard for a lot of Team USA athletes in their coverage that is deeply unfair

This is accurate but good luck getting Americans to believe the last part of it. The proliferation of 24-hour “news” (see: debate) networks, followed in short order by the advent of social media, has given everyone with a TV and internet connection the notion that they should opine about everything

If you live in the D.C. area and you’ve caught the curling bug watching the Olympics, good news: there’s a place nearby you can go and learn to play, which I featured all the way back in 2015 wtop.com/local-sports...

They do love their protein…

Not happy that this is still relevant!

Really interesting development in local sports news

Thinking again today about how, in 2020, my application for the Knight-Wallace fellowship was centered around studying what form of non-corporate business model would work best for sports journalism amid collapsing revenue streams, corporate consolidation, and creeping authoritarianism. Anyway!

God, the IOC is such a joke. Disqualifying a Ukrainian athlete for a helmet honoring his dead friends (including other Olympians!) because that’s too political, all while Russia is entirely barred from competition. Just an insane application of “the rules.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/w...

Insane overreach. Deeply un-American. A needless, costly, punitive decision for no reason but to make our lives worse

As one of our AI experts told me, people think AI will replace some jobs, just not their job. So I imagine it was quite a surprise for some who work on this stuff to find out that, actually, it was their own jobs that it was more functional at than that of creatives

Can you imagine the stock nosedive of any other company if its CEO started posting this psychobabble

I love that half the ads now are about trying to find meaning in our existential hell world and the product at the end is either AI or Jesus

Texts from yesterday

They threw a whole alternate halftime show and he didn’t even watch it. Sad!

I’m just saying, if they deal them the first shutout in Super Bowl history…

I asked this as well

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Just imagining the choreography and logistics of pulling this halftime show off anywhere, much less on the 50-yard line, in the middle of a football game, is breaking my brain

They ran this in the Super Bowl? Insane

The one and only death threat I ever received as a journalist was on my work voicemail, from a listed number. On one hand, you’d think people would try to disguise themselves better. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense that they wouldn’t ever think to do so

I love that half the ads now are about trying to find meaning in our existential hell world and the product at the end is either AI or Jesus

Welp

I know there are bigger things going on in the world, but… The city has not picked up my street’s trash or recycling since January 20. 18 days ago.

The drone camera work so far at the Olympics has been really wild. Following sliders down the track. Flying behind ski jumpers. Slaloming through the gates behind skiers. Just a totally different vantage point than we’ve been able to see before

In case you’re wondering how Lindsey Vonn is competing in the Olympics with a freshly blown ACL, I talked to one of our biomedical engineers about it news.vt.edu/articles/202...

#WinterGames spoiler: Absolutely legendary quote, here

And if you want the view of down the track in Cortina d'Ampezzo, here's a POV bobsled run courtesy of the IBSF. You'll notice that through 10 and 14 there there's a few roof hits. Expect this in four-man and *maybe* 2-woman & 2-man. You shouldn't see it in skeleton or luge.
