This Carolina Hurricanes jersey (sweater) is their best.

Found in a bathroom at a pizza place.

#Penguins game is 12:30 today. But is puck drop 12:35-ish? Or 1:05-ish? Too often (for network broadcasts especially), the time is when the broadcast starts. Can anyone confirm puck drop time? Google, shockingly, is flat-out wrong.

Van Damme and Rodman!! Snow days were made for films like this! #DoubleTeam

Credit USA team for keeping Gaudreau’s memory alive. #olympics

Most disappointing player: Marchand Most disappointing play: MacKinnon missing wide-open net. Most phenomenal player: Hellebuyck Most unfortunate: 3-on-3 play to decide the winner. #Olympics

This has got to be killing Sid. #olympics

All right. Down to the next four minutes. #olympics

Cannot believe Mackinnon missed. #olympics

“Greatest Canadian of all time, no doubt about it” — announcer referring to Gretzky. Huh? #olympics

If this goes to that 3-on-3 garbage, it’s going to be a travesty. #olympics

SUPER quick whistle favors the USA on that 5-on-3 #olympics

Marchand playing like garbage. #Olympics

“We’ll take you from that UNESCO World Heritage site to Crytpo-dot-com arena” which will host gymnastics in the 2028 #Olympics … Modern America in a nutshell.

Folks loving on the Tkachuks need to realize there’s a reason Auston Matthews is the team captain. #olympics

I can’t believe #Olympics hockey was smart enough to do away with a shootout to decide the gold medal winner … but I cannot believe they’re doing 20-minute periods of 3-on-3? Is that for real?

Maybe a quick whistle at the end of first period in USA vs Germany men’s hockey #Olympics … but it WAS a whistle. And the U.S. player shot at the German goalie with no glove. Should have been some kind of penalty.

Lars Eller giving a serious hit to teammate Brady Tkachuk. You just know he’s been dying to do that for a while. #Olympics

#Olympics hockey announcers keep expecting Mike Sullivan to change up the lines to spark something. It’s pretty clear they didn’t pay attention to Sully’s history with the #Penguins. It’s not gonna happen.

#Olympics hockey - LOVING the ice, walls, uniforms and helmets not being riddled with ads. Especially the distracting ice/wall ads that change and move throughout the game and during the action. Sure wish the #NHL gave a damn what their fans thought about stuff like this.

Peacock replay cuts out the clash between Canada and Sweden in curling. Lame! #olympics

Announcer for Switzerland-Canada notes the players may be teammates in the NHL, but at the #Olympics, they’re “heated rivals.” Other announcer seems uncomfortable for a moment.

Connor McDavid looking like he’s (a) throwing out the checks and (b) starting to get hit back (which he looks annoyed about). Sorry, Connor - you throw em, you’re gonna get em. #Olympics

A lone announcer for men’s hockey (at least for Sweden-Italy men) is rough. Tough on the announcer and on the viewers. #olympics

Short track speed skating announcers are absolutely awful. #olympics

I made fun of this a couple weeks ago — the Xmas Village in Philadelphia having a booth selling unopened (“unclaimed”) Amazon packages. Since I posted that, it has become a viral sensation. Folks waiting in line to buy garbage ($10 for a package of 0 to 8 oz.). See my photo in the comments.

Indeed.

The lack of replays on Fox coverage of college football is remarkable. And the announcers are crappy on their own too.

“Glass half full, here’s some advertising.”

I just looked at the Penn State score. And then figured out the game is actually IN HAPPY VALLEY! Northwestern is going to go to Beaver Stadium and beat PSU. Holy. Crap.

Man, @defector.com is ALL ABOUT Philadelphia sports … Until the Phillies are in the playoffs, it seems.

What would six cats even have to talk about!?

Never heard of Beli before. I’m finding three mentions on the entirety of BlueSky spread over the past seven months. Yet it’s crowned by @nytimes.com as having unseated Yelp. Strange.

VACCINATED! Now it’s your turn.

I feel like a t-shirt that says VACCINATED would be a good thing about now.

Peacemaker Season 2 opening was never going to match up to Season 1. And it doesn’t.

For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached. The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.

People … and I cannot state this with enough stunned shock … But - people … … are NOT … *sigh* … NOT VACCINATING THEIR DOGS … … AGAINST RABIES. (this is real. How?) Because they’re afraid … that their dogs … will … catch … autism. #WorstTimeline

what does an AI priest get demoted to? why can an AI be a priest but a woman can’t? does the Church believe that AI gender is real? what is the theological reasoning for not using gatorade? is the holy spirit counteracted by electrolytes (i assume this is how christianity works)?

Look. Seriously. @defector.com is one of the really good websites in the world these days. They do excellent work. They're sharp and fun and employee owned! And they have a deal right now to try it out for three months for $5. They're worth supporting, if you can. defector.com/rfk-jr-is-ma...

SO many reasons that he is The King.

I’m pleased on “Alien: Earth” the guy more accurately paraphrases Asimov’s quote about technology past a point being *indistinguishable* from magic. For too long, I’ve seen idiots say that Asimov said such technology *is* magic. That’s a big and very important difference.

Ghislaine Maxwell is a liar and sex criminal. But MAGA is using her gender to lull people into thinking she's trustworthy. Notably, this is the same scam she ran on her and Epstein's victims: Make them think she's "safe" because she's a woman. www.salon.com/2025/08/27/g...

One of the little pleasures of each morning was the minute or so it took to do the @nytimes.com Mini Crossword. Shared nonsense. Low stakes. So, of course, it MUST BE MONETIZED! No thanks. I guess they’re playing into the “old gray lady” nickname by being as boring as possible.

I wonder how many new subscribers the NYT will haul in after paywalling the mini crossword? What riches will they reap? 🙄

Every time I hear the opening notes of “Indian Summer” from Beat Happening, I feel like my pupils dilate and my entire body gets calmer. My thanks to Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, Bret Lunsford, K Records, Rough Trade - and everyone else involved.

Weird how @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social is utterly silent about PATCO cutting off late-night transit from Philadelphia to NJ, which has a massive negative impact on late-shift workers from South Jersey (mostly in Camden County). I guess they’re too busy destroying public media in the state.
