Regime collapse looking pretty unlikely at this point. The U.S. hasn’t deployed the resources to do regime change. Limited military action can’t end nuclear ambitions—if anything, incentivizes them—nor destroy the knowledge. So yeah, it’s looking like a lot of death and destruction for nothing.

The US Sled Hockey team is so good it is insane

I once interviewed an expert on oil consumption that focused on consumers. He said low gas prices are a religion for Americans and they will do absolutely nonsensical things to access them, like drive miles and miles out of their way. If you wanna lose votes as fast as possible, raise gas prices.

A stupid way to make your house smell nice is to spill a bunch of cinnamon and vacuum it up.

Hootin and hollerin as the clock goes from 1:59 to 3:00 like a true sicko.

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

I will never forgive anyone who ever voted for this ghoul.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

So true. International war is so much simpler than What If Some Colleges Can’t Afford To Pay Athletes As Much As Other Colleges

Screaming

we haven't had enough of these days in Trump 2. these days when some cartoonishly evil admin character gets fired (not for being evil, but over their 374th petty scandal) and we get off jokes in the too-small window before their replacement establishes how they'll be evil in a slightly different way

Trump cabinet is giving fraternity chapter of 20 guys where SOMEBODY is gonna have to be on exec even if he hasn't made grades or paid dues.

It's wild that the week this guy had on the mic led to promotion.

The name Markwayne isn't his fault but it is perfect for him.

This is obscene AND it won’t actually meaningfully improve recruiting at Mississippi schools. Taxpayers in this state ought to be furious. Backup linebackers deserve special tax breaks that cops, teachers, nurses and other public workers don’t get? FOH www.clarionledger.com/story/news/p...

Today we have "the Secretary of Defense uses a shart metaphor to describe the death of American soldiers."

Absolutely hilarious that Canada left him off the Olympic team.

It's kind of funny that as he ages, Trump looks increasingly like the Disney Hall of Presidents robot from 2017 that I'm still convinced was originally a Hillary robot that had to be hastily refashioned after the election.

RIP youtu.be/zoS8DrrlnTQ?...

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

Rocky Top on the organ at PPG Paints. Never heard that before.

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

I know it's Lovejoy erasure, but I am prepared to name Ben Kindel the greatest Benjamin in Pittsburgh sports history.

This is just so so so so so bad. Just bad bad bad bad.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

Dr. Catharine Young: We are now at 1136 new measles cases - in just the first 8 weeks of this year alone. A preventable disease resurging. This is an abject policy failure.

Is Avery Hayes Mark Donk or Buzz Flibbet?

Yes, yes, the Trump administration, quite famous for being good stewards with the American people's tax money.

You could listen to Trump's State of the Union address or you could listen to a gibbon drunk on fermented figs screaming and grasping at the moon while abusing his genitals. They both have a point.

A rare outtake.

My internet friend @nickzararis.bsky.social with something I've been saying for quite some time. You don't win or make changes by walking out; you do so by digging in, even if it's messy, disheartening, and demoralizing. Give this one some time: weresobacksports.substack.com/p/the-sports...

Philadelphia chants "Crosby sucks" but they aren't a threat.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Maybe the Canadian backcheck failed on the golden goal because Canada isn't a deep enough team and they overworked the top line? 🤔

@synonymforwet.bsky.social @hunterhodies.bsky.social do you have a site for time on ice data for the gold medal game? I can only find basic box scores

The lesson is take your best players. Those lesser skilled roles can easily be filled by the better players. They can handle it. The Canadian and US players will do anything you tell them to do in a tournament like this. Goal scoring is the hardest thing to do in the sport. Take those guys

Why am I screaming at loose pucks and missed one timers on a DVRed game?

Laughing like the Joker at Hellebuyck's paddle save during this re-watch.

Underrated excellent thing about the Olympic setup was no fans along the glass. Seems like a big buffer area for all the media. No banging on the glass. I'm not advocating for it, not that it would ever happen anyway, but I appreciated it.

Deep in the feels on today's events 🏒 🥇 🇺🇸 🦅

With both the men's and women's teams winning gold, here's your Pittsburgh is the center of the universe fact: Goalie Ava McNaughton and forward Vincent Trocheck are the first Winter Olympic gold medalists from Pittsburgh.

Curling may be done at the Olympics, but tons of US teams on the ice in the coming month. USA nationals starts Monday (streamed on YouTube) World Juniors starts Tuesday (streamed on Curling Channel $) World Women's and World Men's later this month (Curling Channel $)

@suss2hyphens.bsky.social where can we turn to next in the USA if we want to watch quality curling 🥌?
