Blizzard on Cape Cod today. Hurricane-force winds, 80mph gusts and heavy snow brought trees and wires down. Roads impassable and blowing snow is making visibility non-existent. This photo sums things up for me right now. #blizzardof2026 #bombcyclone #nopower #capecodlife #princesscheyennebook

Well, we are well and truly fucked. I’ve never seen numbers like that—95-100% of entire towns without power. I have a generator so I’m safe for now, but this is going to be rough, and I don’t think I’m totally bonkers to worry that Trump will withhold aid from a blue state. archive.is/pJhQH

All the brainpower we have with historical researchers yet nobody knows who invented "fuck" and what asshole decreed it a bad word.

Providence RI has received 33 inches of snow. They’ve halted the plows. Eighty-five percent of Cape Cod is without power. Hang in there, New England friends, as you always do,

CAPE COD UPDATE: 85% of Barnstable County, MA is now without power. Hurricane-force gusts have grounded repair crews, making restoration impossible until winds subside. Prepare for a freezing night without electricity. #MAwx #CapeCod pic.x.com/Qu3GZIvOQs - https://x.com/OfficialYallbot/status/202...

All of Cape Cod without power. Let's check in on my brother on the outer Cape (N. Truro)

Nor'easters are basically winter hurricanes.

The best way to build support to replace Target Center is have opponents try to go down one of 2 escalators from the 200 level, falling into a human pile at the bottom because of the backup of people from the premium level in line for the next escalator.What a shitty and dangerous place that dump is

Mourning Dove having nothing of the Cardinal's shit .

Power starting to go out around New England where blizzards are nowhere near the same as Minnesota. Not better. Not worse. Different. So let's not be smug about the suffering that's underway there

I've just spent an hour updating the 1099-B, Dividend and Capital Gains, and Form 8549 sheets in my incredibly dorky Tax Spreadsheet that spits out a completed 1040 which we won't use because we have an accountant to do all this shit. Welcome day to FunDay!

Last night's dream. My father in law started an airline and commanded me to put a full bar of hooch in a "glove compartment" in front of every seat despite my protest it would be impossible to make cocktails. (1/2)

Not really upset the Wolves are losing. Just that they've bored me

No way Donsumu is going to want to stay here #timberwolves

I can't believe there were people who didn't want to give up Randle and mcdaniels for Gianis. And, yeah, I was one.

1:18 into the 3q and Finch takes a timeout. Solid and productive halftime, Chris?

DDV makes two quick 3's and Finch pulls him. Honestly

This game has "let's leave at halftime" written all over it.

Kash Patel hung out in the locker room with USA hockey. A good reason to have rooted for canada

I had not scored in my entire college hockey career. So in my last game as a senior, Marino Amuroso put one on my stick just like this. Exact same result minus goalie intervention.

New England having another blizzard and again I'm feeling left out

These really have been the drone Olympics

Why isn't there a score bug on this NBC hockey broadcast?

All I did was sit on a couch listening to Brandi Carlisle while watching Bridge on the River Kwai and I'm exhausted this morning. I don't know how you all do it

Oh man www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/18/m...

I think I would've liked to be at Target center but I'm glad we were able to babysit so son and DIL could go. That's a lesson for Boomers. We had OUR time and it was good. This is THEIR time.

Brandi Carlile was magical tonight at Target Center. She talked about how much she loves Minnesotans and I believe her. My review of the joyous show (gift link):

The artists are our generals because the actual generals -political leaders - turned out to be utter chicken shits

Anybody getting anything on The Current 's stream?

Amy is like a character created by Tina Fey

I'd love to see a list with the family income of every Olympic athlete.

There is baseball on my TV. Life is good.

Did a couple of DoorDash deliveries (first time in a year) on the way home from the Timberwolves game because I thought maybe it's food for people too afraid to go out b/c ICE. There's just no infrastructure to do much more in the east metro 'burbs for the resistance like in Mpls and StP.

We'll be listening to Brandi Carlisle via The Current tonight because we're babysitting junior grandson in Lake Elmo so his parents can go to -checks notes- Brandi Carlisle.

I hereby withdraw my reluctance to give up Randle and mcdaniels in a Gianis trade.

Randle is useless

Is Mcdaniels playing high?

It's pathetic Gobert still can barely make the rim on free throws Spectacularly awful.

We have a scoreboard, Ray!

Didn't get - or try to get - Springsteen tickets. I figure I'll put on some of his albums, put a small picture of him I can barely see at the end of the hall and drink $165 worth of hooch in an uncomfortable chair instead

It's hard to imagine there are kids watching the Olympics two-person bobsled and thinking, "someday I'm going to be a pusher who spends the whole trip crunched over looking at my crotch and seeing absolutely nothing all the way down the track."

They really said ‘one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish’ #stoplightparrotfish #blueparrotfish #parrotfishjungle #parrotfishcapitaloftheworld #coralcitycamera

Lovely story but a great reminder that the South, particularly Alabama, is subhuman when it comes to the treatment of dogs www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

Come on, little blood clot. You can do it!

I think public radio and PBS has been better since it no longer owed its existence to a corrupt U.S. government.

Why didn't you tell me Steve Sack was still drawing?

After 2 weeks off, it's hard for me to get excited about the Timberwolves again. Hopefully that will change.

Please tell me Megan Keller isn't MAGA
