Is anyone else gutted that the Hockey Hall of Fame once again only used one of the designated women’s slots this year, despite bringing in some men whose credentials seem less sparkling than some of the women who are still waiting?

Madison, WI! Anywhere I need to go and anything I need to eat when I’m there next month? Ice cream is a must, but what/where else? Do yinz still have a women’s sports bar and should I plan to visit? (psst, @nicolehaase.bsky.social) I’ll 💯 go to Penzey’s & the farmers market.

Hey @ncaa.bsky.social Your D3 women’s hockey semi stream has lots of static and no commentary.

Buccigross is good at reading things people hand him.

Announcing your new coach in the middle of the National Championship is a wild choice but Minnesota has hired Greg "Boom" May as head coach. He has been the Associate Head Coach for the Minnesota women's team since 2023. key

And it’s well-known now too that research on-campus at NIH is being slowly choked to death. Scientists are leaving and not being replaced, lecture visits blocked, people are spending more and more time not on science but on fruitless paperwork seemingly created to stop progress.

HELL YES: "The Shape of Color," an article (WITH CRAFT PROJECT) I wrote for @paperairplane.pub's inaugural issue, has been chosen for this year's Best American Science and Nature Writing anthology! Many thanks to guest editor @xkcd.com, @jaimealyse.bsky.social, and @marinerbooks.bsky.social!

Lock them all up. This sort of blackmail is inhuman.

@nicolehaase.bsky.social For those with a car who are looking for something to do on Saturday outside of State College, I suggest a trip to Horseshoe Curve, ~1h away just outside Altoona. It’s a must for train geeks, infrastructure fans, & history buffs. www.railroadcity.org/horseshoecurve

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

My latest for @theicegarden.bsky.social, now a part of @theixsports.bsky.social, is up! Read all about the D3 women’s hockey bracket before the first round games happen tomorrow. www.theixsports.com/the-ice-gard...

Sport is for everyone. If you build it, they will come. www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

Has anyone here ever clothed an otherwise nude statue? I may need to start. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/a...

Shireen is always a must read (and now must listen on the return of @burnitalldownpod.com!) when it comes to discussing big issues in sports. The mono hockey culture of not rocking the boat extends to media coverage, and as someone covering hockey I think about HOW to discuss things all the time.

I would love one of the new @togethxr.bsky.social Everyone Watches Women’s Hockey long-sleeved tees, but yikes, $65?? That’s way more than I’m willing to spend.

No surprise to me: Iowa State just killed their gymnastics team, after killing their season last month. (Gotta love the headline: “Iowa State to reimagine women’s sports lineup.”) cyclones.com/news/2026/3/...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Hey @timothysnyder.bsky.social! Can you help us get the word out about our SECOND National Day of Action on March 7th?? #standupforscience

Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board."

Awwwww. ❤️ www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/s...

So the women’s team only inspires the next generation of girls to play hockey but the men’s team inspires all Americans, got it got it got it.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Hey @nbcolympics.bsky.social If our little D3 school can put together a broadcast team that’s all women for their hockey broadcasts, why can’t you? Shoutout to @sunyoswego.bsky.social and WTOP for doing what a big national broadcaster can’t.

Unreal press conference strategy from new IOC president Kirsty Coventry where she repeatedly turns to her PR team off stage and personally blames them for not making her aware of various Olympics controversies, saying that “maybe someone needs to be dismissed”

I drove a Zamboni for several years. And yes, the ice resurfacing machine I drove was an actual Zamboni, just like the ones in Milan. The giveaway is the sharp, rather than rounded, corners and edges. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/w...

This is a concentration camp.

Some great things have come out of Pittsburgh, and the city has done some not-so-great things to suppress some of them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

Did you know there's literally one of us that makes an actual liveable wage covering women's hockey? (Spoiler: it's not me) If you loved this, go watch the PWHL and NCAA and read the independent media that have been covering this game for a long time I write at Victory Press.org and USCHO.com

Dewey defeats Truman

The last time Team USA lost a championship game, we were there. Clearly, we can never attend in person ever again.

Someone threw a rock through a stained glass window depicting yellow roses of friendship at our local historic Ladies' Library Association (now basically a lovely social club for books & tea) & it makes me really sad, even while recognizing that things can be fixed. www.mlive.com/news/kalamaz...

My watch after yelling at the OT goal!!!

I’m so happy for the U.S. women and so crushed for the a Canadian women. What a great game. EVERYONE WATCH THE PWHL NOW AND YOU CAN KEEP WATCHING ALL THESE PLAYERS GO AT IT!

YES!!!!!!!

🚨 WaPo scoop: You've heard of Trump's "board of peace." Now HHS wants to build its own World Health Organization that will cost exponentially more than the U.S.'s contribution to the WHO. -- with the incredible @lenasun.bsky.social

This is flying under the radar: Donald Trump FIRED the DOJ official in charge of suing Live Nation-Ticketmaster for monopolizing ticketing and hiking prices. Then, their stock jumped. If Trump's DOJ takes it easy on Ticketmaster, it'll be a slap in the face to every American.

You absolutely want this!!!!!!

How can NBC be so unobtrusive on their men’s hockey calls, and so godawful on their women’s hockey calls? Do better!

OMG OMG OMG! And nobody just won a medal or didn’t win a medal or anything like that!

I am somebody!

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Yo Harvard's being a little shit and trying to axe its Yiddish programme + refusing to bargain in good faith with the union. You can send a letter of support here (maybe edited a bit) saveharvardyiddish.org #yiddish #harvard

Braendli is doing her best to steal this game for the Swiss!

Happy Felon's Day to all who celebrate 34 Felony Convictions. Next year in the Hague God willing.

Will someone other than Müller score for Switzerland today?

Oh man. The Swiss can’t buy a clean zone entry.

The study found that children enrolled in Parton’s Imagination Library “were 5 times more likely to be interested in reading, 11 times more likely to be interested in books, and 15 times more likely to join in during shared reading, compared to children who aren't enrolled.”
