Genuinely don’t understand how Rio Ngumoha isn’t playing over Cody Gakpo at this point. Infinitely better at soccer.

humbled today by some of the trees at killington. feeling blessed nonetheless.

I want it to happen to him as much as I want it to happen to the other one

Throwing away a lifetime of goodwill for a quarter pounder and a bottle of water

Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:

along with being bastards, cops are all the biggest fucking bitches on earth too

All cops are bastards. Every fucking one of them, rotten to the core.

The most Dortmund shit ever

I’ve spent more time in hockey rinks than pretty much any other place in my life. Been playing since age 5. Covered the sport from 18-38. I’m not shocked that most of the dudes on the US team are MAGA at worst and comfortable with MAGA at best. Hockey players are some of the shittiest dudes going.

We don’t talk enough about how insane DiMarco’s ombre’d bald spot is

Saying it again: Winter lays bare all the ways our communities fail those not in cars. This is especially true if you are disabled. If accessibility disappears under a pile of snow, then a place was never really accessible to begin with.

FUCK YEA

Can't wait to claim my Tractor Supply Co. Delicatessen Hamper

Historically bad reading of a show. Genuinely impressed by how wrong it is.

This piece I wrote a few years back doesn't *entirely* explain why the US men's hockey team is filled with a bunch of embarrassing idiots, but it doesn't not explain it either. Hockey is a great sport perpetually tarnished by the bigotry of its players and fans. fivethirtyeight.com/features/the...

again, women's team vs. men's team

Some exciting news! I'm working with a bunch of talented editors, illustrators, and writers to put together Golden Goal, a one-off print magazine about the 2026 World Cup. If you're interested in supporting us, we're currently doing a small fundraiser www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

I love soccer. I watch a lot of it. I had no idea MLS started this weekend. They're real good at marketing over there huh?

I like the opera closing ceremony

No shit Sherlock

Now we bring you the 4026 Winter Olympics closing ceremony, live from the former Lucas Oil Stadium

Arsenal are still gonna bottle it

I mean, these are very sour grapes. Hockey players remain to be the pettiest athletes.

Spurs are insanely bad lol

That’s the softest “push” I’ve ever seen my lord

Relevant to AI writing, Toni Morrison, Octavia E. Butler, and Sonia Sanchez noted that many want to be writers but don’t wanna write. As Morrison said, “Writing has become almost a celebrity thing in the sense that people don’t want to write; they want to be authors. And that’s quite different.”

The woods were firing at Gunstock yesterday

More like Declan Rice-A-Roni

I also have done research on hot goalies.

In honor of the excellent goalie play of Connor Hellebuyck, here's a list of pieces I wrote re: why having the best (or at least the hottest) goalie is the most important piece of the championship puzzle. Starting with my first, which is foundational to the rest: fivethirtyeight.com/features/can...

Fanatics basically 100 percent sucks but I will say its customer service bot actually works. Took me like 93 seconds to initiate a replacement order and get a return label. This is what AI is for. Not human creativity. Not medicine. Not romance. Easy returns.

Connor Hellebuyck's Tim Thomas save will go down as one of the best Tim Thomas saves in hockey history

THAT ONE COUNTS

Hugo needs to score that I'm sorry

hahahahahahahahaha

Seen that given

I genuinely don’t understand how they can’t make three coherent passes in a row

Sort of impressed by how bad Liverpool have been. Would struggle to beat UNC Wilmington with this performance.

Honestly can’t think of a steeper drop off in form than Alexis Mac Allister. Generational drop off.

This guy is college sophomore levels of annoying. That plus very wealthy and evil. Bad combo.

This feels like the worst 25 minutes of Liverpool’s season

One or the worst starts of the season then. Thank you Liverpool.

OK Matt Boldy, jfc

As baseball season approaches I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching about Barry Bonds and I’ve come to the conclusion that he is still by a long margin the best baseball player in the history of baseball and people who care about him being a gear guy are both racist and stupid as the day is long.

don't ask someone at work to do something on friday that can be done on monday. don't even say "hey, there's this thing i might need you to do on monday." speak to them about it on monday. you don't, under any circumstances, have to tell them about that thing at 3PM on friday.

Jose Moutinho: World Class Piece of Shit

This is an embarrassing and majorly xenophobic piece from @nytimes.com @theathletic.com. The parenthetical in the below graf is, uh, quite the fucking parenthetical. Shameful fucking piece.

for new hockey heads (welcome!), this pass is sooooo hard to execute. across the body, momentum going the opposite way. tape to fucking tape. and to even see it in the first place. fuckkkkk me what a pass.
