What a day of hockey. And what a serious ass groove there is on this couch.

Nothing quite like watching hockey on the BBC. "For those of you wondering, the puck is about the size and weight of a cricket ball..."

@marcdachamp.bsky.social Today's hockey schedule. Quarterfinals!

No

Anyway, if you know anyone looking for a writer with experience covering gaming, comics, and popular culture that has on-camera experience and has interviewed movie and TV stars, while also being Rotten Tomatoes verified… point them my way, would ya?

@raygoldfield.bsky.social @glennmatchett.bsky.social @brandonlloydjames.bsky.social Oh. My. Gawd.

@stephenfishbach.bsky.social Finished Escape! (Love placing that "!" at the end.) No specifics as not everyone has read it yet. (The nerve of those people, right?) I loved it. Entertaining. Insightful. Moving. I will pre-order any future book you write immediately upon announcement. (No pressure!)

just used chatgpt to tell me how to circumvent claude's programming so i could use claude to tell me how to hack into grok which i then used to find everyone's credit card details on twitter which i will now collectively use to buy a home

New video is up! I played the new PS5 demo for Mina the Hollower and came away pretty impressed. Here are my short thoughts. Check it out and subscribe to my channel if you like hearing me talk about games and movies!

HAL JORDAN: In brightest day, in blackest BEASTIE BOYS: NIGHT! HAL JORDAN: No evil shall escape my BEASTIE BOYS: SIGHT! HAL JORDAN: This is awkward because when I invited you I thought I was messaging Beast Boy from the Teen Titans.

@marcdachamp.bsky.social Here you go. Canada and the USA can only meet in the gold medal game due to seeding.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Cover by Win Mortimer.

In Finland Valentine's Day is celebrated as a day of friendship. Happy Friend's Day, everyone!

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

@davidbloomberg.bsky.social A warning, perhaps, for the RizzGod

@marcdachamp.bsky.social OMG!!!

Give yourself a Valentines gift and buy this book.

New video is up! Missed the PlayStation State of Play! I share my highlights, and compare it to Nintendo and Xbox’s most recent shows. Check it out and subscribe, why don’t ya?!?

Yes, please.

@marcdachamp.bsky.social Team Canada and Team USA men's Olympic hockey teams play their first games today. Though not against each other. As they say in hockey...

Getting a fully formed good idea for a script in your head is like finding a beautiful couch on the lawn in front of your apartment and now you need to get it up ten flights of stairs on your own.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

That bit from The Office where Jim and Pam trick Dwight into thinking his computer has become sentient turns out to have been very prophetic.

Anyone who thinks for reasons nobody can possibly understand that China will cancel the Stanley Cup (???) might enjoy reading @davebidini.bsky.social's excellent book "Tropic of Hockey."

I’m proud as fuck of our Olympians. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

No, I think this is 1000% true, and is basically what I have been saying since the heyday of "cancel culture" discourse. We're seeing the worst aspects of fandom culture metastasize throughout the rest of the culture.

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

2:10 pm EST - Team Canada vs Team USA preliminary round game for first place. The only two countries who have ever played in the women's hockey gold medal game in Omympic history.

Yes

The Contrarian

Beautiful thread.

@davebidini.bsky.social I don't remember reading this in "The Tropic Of Hockey."

What - and I can't stress this enough - the actual f___?

MAGA Is Losing The Culture War “The future is dancing past you in better clothes and with sexier music, and your only response is to scream into the void of Truth Social. It’s not a political stance; it’s a geriatric temper tantrum.” @therickwilson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

the bushes were people 😂

That. What art can do.

If they always had that big maze of grass and a convenience store in the middle of the field, the #Superbowl would be a much more interesting game.

friend of mine can't dance so he pretended he's republican and stormed out of the room before bad bunny comes on

Paying tribute to Latino culture like this in the midst of everything happening in America is such a baller move. Bad Bunny doesn’t have to mention Trump or ICE. He went on the biggest stage in the world to show America that multiculturalism is its greatest strength.

"Green Day kicked off the performance with “Holiday,” followed by “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “American Idiot.”" The song is the statement.

Bad Bunny should do the funniest thing ever and open with "American Idot."

If you see this, post a character that starts with the letter G. Geiger!

Yay! Great game that was very nerve wrecking for the first two periods.
