This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Meanwhile Rachel Reid has been on at least two @thepwhl.com broadcasts. To be clear the PWHL is not perfect but they are willing to grab most opportunities to market their game. The only dudes on the ice are some of the linespeople but they are the highest level of hockey with out gay players. 🤷‍♀️

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. The last cassette I ever bought, and I bought it while out with my girls the week we graduated from high school. Part of a whole bunch of frosh yr memories too

I really hope the French translators get together and agree that the going rate for fixing AI translation is 1.5x the cost to do the translation in the first place.

"...no athlete should have to put themselves at risk of harm to participate in the sports they love" says the Alberta Sport Minister as if this isn't *exactly* what Alberta is trying to do to trans athletes. Hey @thepwhl.com I don't suppose you'd be willing to follow this example would you?

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

My brain has decided the earworm of the morning will be the chorus of the Corries song Isle of Skye. No idea why, it's been years since I listened to it youtu.be/Mi2lehyJIG8

NB, this is not just "show your age" it's also tied to income . Also "mixed tape"? Hello fellow olds - it was mixtape. 18 (never had an AOL address, those disks went out in the trash, and never had a waterbed. Have hung out in a room where a waterbed was but I don't think that counts as used)

My brain immediately threw up "Who is Bugs Potter?" by Gordon Korman because my brain is just Like That sometimes. (It's a kid's book but it is, of course, The Most.) "Rilla of Ingleside" by LM Montgomery and "I Am David" by Anne Holm

I’m going to Antarctica in less than a month (😱)!! I’ve been privileged to earn a scholarship to travel to the Ross Sea and make a dream come true. However, I’m crowdfunding to help with the flight and gear costs—are you able to chip in or share? www.gofundme.com/f/emma-get-t...

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

36 years ago, a man murdered 14 women simply for being women. remember their names.
