Every time this comes up I am forced to post it

I also did this. Please put me in the newspaper.

Passover has long been my favorite Jewish holiday. But I’ve always struggled with the Tenth Plague — and now more than ever. (1/2)

NYR utilizing all sorts of young bottom-six talents who battle relentlessly but also make plays with the puck. Chmelař, Sýkora, Kartye... Looking forward to seeing if they embrace this next season or if they return to deploying a guy who can't defend but fights & sells jerseys.

Can't even imagine what the odds would have been in 2016 for Italy's men's team to miss the World Cup three-straight times, including once with an expanded field.

Rahm Emanuel is in the race for 2028 as a magnet for the worst kinds of DC insiders to keep them away from the stuff that actually matters. It's the metaphorical equivalent of handing an iPad to a toddler in the backseat to distract them during a long car ride.

I'd like to add that volunteering for candidates has been the best decision I've ever made for my mental health. Get out of the house and into the sun, meet all sorts of people, and feel the tangible impact of doing something to try to fix bad things.

Really feels like non-grass-touching Bluesky thinks these events are a lot more centrist than they actually are

Attended the march in Manhattan today and my biggest takeaway is that everyone needs to get organized. A lot of people who are angry and ready to do something but don’t know what. Join a group and get organized. DSA. Working Families Party. Volunteer for a local candidate in a primary race.

Alexis Lafreniére has 30 points in his last 30 games. I wrote about the changes, both to his own game and and the structure around him, that have facilitated the the best stretch of his career. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

One of the best things Zohran has figured out is how to co-opt language from the right to advance a progressive agenda. Policing, government waste, etc. It's really clever.

Getting 9 shots on goal on home ice against a non-playoff team that was down to 4 defensemen following a ceremony celebrating your longest-tenured player... If there's a more pathetic NYR game in the last three-plus decades I'm struggling to remember it.

Sports fandom often forces people into awkward moral contradictions. Tonight is a very easy celebration. Good player, loyal to the team, good human. One thousand NHL games is a massive accomplishment. Mika Zibanejad deserves to be recognized.

My first grade teacher gave me Bridge to Terabithia to read during class. Pretty sure that’s why I have anxiety now.

I think these concerns are extremely valid and this would be a pretty easy choice if the Maine establishment had picked a Mallory McMorrow or John Ossoff type instead of a 78-year-old who praises Susan Collins.

The New York State Democratic Committee is trying to get Dan Goldman reelected over Brad Lander by campaigning for him and pretending he’s a progressive lol

March to the polls Madness

It's very obvious that a lot of people in the world now see anti-zionism as a vehicle for laundering antisemitism. The problem is that most groups tasked with "antisemitism" are the groups that themselves were conflating zionism with Judaism.

JT Miller since returning from the Olympics: 7 Games 0 goals 0 primary assists 1 even strength strength point Outscored 6-3 at 5v5 What is the point of this?

NYR's season ending will bring me peace mainly because they're painful to watch but also because I will presumably never have to hear that Volvo DJ commercial ever again.

Big iced tea matchup on Friday

This is good development. We need more spaces that serve as honey pots for people who suck and that keep them out of the remaining communal spaces.

Gabe Perreault has been forechecking exactly how Mike Sullivan wants in his systems. It's not about blowing someone up but about the timing of when you trigger your pressure.

I'm finding the discourse around IL-09 to be utterly bizarre. "battle-tested progressive vs unconventional leftist willing to take risks" is what we should hope for in every primary, with voters deciding based on the particulars of the individual race.

Few politicians are out there consistently just doing good things to help people like Brad is.

The thing about Zohran doing this is that he may not get immediate credit from Jewish organizations, but telling these psychos to fuck off and thus polarizing his own broad left-wing coalition against them is in and of itself beneficial.

This last run of games would be a nice chance for the Rangers to see if Matthew Roberton can push into a second-pairing role. His two-way play has been excellent this season in sheltered minutes. If he could become the second guy behind Gavrikov that would be excellent.

I can't recommend Paved Paradise by Henry Grabar enough. Incredible book that makes a thorough case for how ridiculous it is that we waste so much urban space on free parking.

This sucks for the obvious reasons but also Kobe is a guy who would have refuse to lose a tic-tac-toe match against a 4 year old. He would have absolutely hated someone printing this crap on his behalf.

Absolutely elite dog-watching day in New York City. Endless possibilities for pointing and going, “oooh good doggie.”

I badly want a high-trust society but the catalyst for this has to start at the top. Stop ripping people off at airports and sports arenas. End shrinkflation tactics. Stop plastering advertising on everything. Don't let billionaires get away with evading taxes.

This is what actual an "big tent party" looks like but you're not going to hear it from the people who scream about it the most because their view of "big tent party" is "going on a podcast with a venture capitalist."

The Sabres are absolutely electric

One of those videos where they show like caged cows being freed and touching grass for the first time ever except me today in NYC while it's 60 degrees and sunny.

My post-deadline #NYR assessment. Call it the "Dirty Dish Theory." You're not mad that the Rangers didn't trade Vincent Trocheck. You're mad about what that represents. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

Are we sure Lou Lamoriello isn't still in charge?

Famous last words, but I don't see Carolina as a team that will meet NYR's price for Trocheck. They're very disciplined in sticking to their valuations. Feels like NYR are banking on desperation from Detroit or a last-minute buyer like Boston or Montreal.

Mika Zibanejad is playing at a pace of 34 goals and 75 points over 82 games. His best rates for both in three seasons despite the calamity around him. That's extra effort.

They should send Trocheck out for the Modern Era Alumni pre-game ceremony.

We knew Trocheck has been out there on the trade market. The sitting of Carrick tonight is the new, encouraging outcome. Pound-for-pound, he's the most important player for #NYR to trade in the next 24 hours.

We have trade grades and analysis for all moves leading up to tomorrow's deadline. Updated in real-time as trades come through. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

Incumbent advantage usually supposes that the challenger has to do massive amounts of work to gain relevancy but Lander is probably more well-known in his district than Goldman at this point. He's a rockstar in Brooklyn.

Purely speculating but it would make sense if Drury is banking on Detroit being the team to blink. There's a lot of pressure on Yzerman to make a big addition.

Downstream effect of RHDs Parayko and Weegar half-unexpectedly being available is that it probably hurts Braden Schneider's market value. May be worth holding on at least through the summer.

the "gradually and then all at once" structure of public opinion moves is a wild thing, and one way you know it's happened is when politicians of the moderate / poll-driven / cynical type jump in with takes that just recently were seen as provocatively ideological www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Jasmine Crockett said she didn't need to convince Republicans to vote for her to win a general election and then she couldn't even get Democrats to vote for her lol

Avery Hayes is going to be the new Mark Donk in Pittsburgh. Bookmark it.

The secondary fallout of Talerico's likely win in Texas is that a Kamala Harris endorsement seems to hold little water.
