close enough

That is som “The Pope is from Chicago” shit.

Holy shit

Heated Rivalry fans don't harass the actors challenge level: impossible, apparently.

And now it's snowing, which makes this a perfect hockey day (except for the Victoire losing).

Post-horn brawl. 👀

I have two and a half minutes left to jinx it, but I haven't head Mr Brightside once this game. 🤞

The girls' Mites on Ice teams are playing harder than any of the boys I have watched at Caps games.

What I am doing with my afternoon.

new ErgoBlock release up on GitHub, to be pushed to Chrome Web Store at some point in future and Firefox store eventually maybe when I get to it. Notable new features include the ability to suppress retweets from people you follow and the ability to block/mute from notifications tab.

I love this so much.

He didn't even want the tube. He was just like YEAH WELL FUCK YOU, FISH then he left. ... respect.

Sheryl, in all her legal judgement, says "fascinating." I, in my lack of legal judgement but ability to shitpost on the internet, say "Keep reading bc this is wild and the tea is PIPING"

Daaaaaaaaaamn.

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. These will all go to 2026 referendums.

My YouTube algorithm has been surely something lately. Today's serving, this short film with Hudson Williams: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_xi...

I'm dying over Smitten Kitten (a sex shoppe) having to basically be like, "Google is lying about us having a glory hole." www.instagram.com/reel/DPACIxZ...

This is haunting... It's the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the notes. A song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, it was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered in the 1950s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8tf...

I was going to try to just post things that made me happy for a few days as a little break from the awfulness, but this was just too much. I miss my Spotify playlists, but I do not miss Spotify itself even a little. Fuck those guys.

John says Spencer Carberry is yelling at the entire bench. Us too, man.

"Gary Bettman" and "Heated Rivalry" are words I prefer not to have in proximity to each other.

I kinda needed this today, no lie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR...

1A is talking Heated Rivalry today in their second hour. the1a.org

When Hayley Scamurra returns to Washington, DC with the Montreal Victoire on the PWHL Takeover Tour, it won't just be to a city where she's worked to grow the game, it will also be to the place where her parents first met. ✍️ @iankennedyck.bsky.social thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/... #PWHL

Cloud migration meeting is never about birds.

Everyone needs to be very proud of me today, because, in the middle of a day job meeting call, somebody asked “What does CBT stands for?”, and I managed to just sit there, innocently silent, and not say anything that would get me reported to HR.

This week, Historians At The Movies gets to talk about the South, Jim Crow, the Klan, music, and motherlovin’ VAMPIRES. Join us on Prime Video this Sunday, January 18th at 8pm eastern for SINNERS. Keep #HATM growing by sharing and we’ll see you soon!

I consider the Salux cloth the best thing I've ever found via The Strategist. If you want serious exfoliation, grab one of these. (This is a non-Amazon source for them.) This bath cloth and a bar of goat milk/coconut oil soap and I feel less like my skin is going to flake apart and blow away.

Hey locals, the fighter jets you hear overhead tonight after midnight are planned. wtop.com/local/2026/0...

I first discovered Gourmet in college by finding a huge stack of them that someone had left on the curb for recycling and leafing through a few issues. I still have a folder of recipe pages I saved from my own subscription. Excited to see where this goes.

No, I think the original was better.

I want them in a bag the size of the frozen stir-fry vegetables.

I already own and enjoyed several of these (Cherie Priest is pretty much an auto-buy), and the rest of the bundle looks really good. Sixty-five books for $18 (or more) is a freakin' great deal.

... how the FUCK

*blink* *blink*

Bad day to be a Rangers fan. Yikes.

Love horror? Comics? Hate ICE and this administration? This Kickstarter is only 40% funded and that's Very Sad. Please check this out or spread the word.

A group of young kestrels is startled by the presence of a butterfly. 🤣🤣🤣

"Guilt and pleasure should only go together when your pleasure hurts others, which reading romance novels doesn’t. It never hurt anyone to read a story about love." I stopped referring to reading all my beloved smut as a guilty pleasure recently because of this. What's to feel guilty about?

As someone who has donated to NPR in the past, the absolute last thing I need is another tote bag, but if I DID, "This bag is definitely not full of cats" is the one.

"minnesotans only do this when they're extremely stressed" meme joke but like extremely dead seriously

Ruby Dixon is posting a new free serial on her site and it is the cutest damn thing. A dragon who is a total cat dad. rubydixon.com/category/ser...

As a Caps fan, I still absolutely need one of these.

I remember seeing this at the time and thinking "Yeah, I'm gonna like these guys on days we aren't playing them".

I would never have heard any of the Ullmark rumors if the Sens hadn't put out that statement. Welcome to the Streisand Effect, guys.
