I’m going to learn how to make every hot (temperature) alcoholic drink. Concoctions like this are underrated. (Rye, spiced chai, oat milk, some other stuff.)

I’ve had quite enough of Ashley Wagner, and it’s only Day 3. From her fashion choices to every word that comes out of her mouth, I’ve really had enough.

The backflip on the ice should be called the Bonaly.

Skeleton or luge? Would you rather ride a lunch tray on knives down a mountain in an ice pipe headfirst or basically blind while on your back? Who thought of this?!

coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

If that’s what makes Mike Tirico “angry” then maybe he shouldn’t talk about what makes him angry because this is embarrassing and he needs to get a grip.

I love a simple sport that normal people will die if they try. Put on skis, glide down this hill, then fly literally as far as you can. Fly! In the air! On skis!

The Italian national anthem is quite peppy.

I may eat nothing but olives, pasta, and parmesan cheese for the rest of my life.

Many thanks to uber for jacking up their prices across the city because public transit has been crowded and a bit unreliable since the storm.

No seriously fuck Rosa DeLauro

Catching the last half hour of the 2017 Super Bowl film on the Roku Sports Channel (?) and I’m instantly transported back in time

this man remains employed

I’m pretty sure GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK is one of those rare movies that’s always going to be relevant

I’m like 95% sure that Robert Downey Jr’s best work was when he played Charlie Chaplin in CHAPLIN from 1992. I will never apologize for loving that movie.

About to see THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE and I haven’t been this excited for a movie in a long, long time.

the biden border bill and choosing to run on a “border patrol endorsed” piece of legislation should go down as not only cowardly and backward thinking but one of the worst strategic political decisions by democrats in recent memory, everyone involved should be out of politics forever

Worlds worst Phillies fan

man, fuck rosa delauro. new haven, which is the largest city in her district, is the home of many, many immigrants, and she doesn't give a shit. just get out of public service if you're going to ignore a massive portion of your own specific public.

Watching ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER for the second of what I imagine will be many, many times.

Baltimore deserves its own Mamdani. I hope we can find them, because the current mayor is not it.

no commerce today? time to sail the high seas! those files won’t download themselves!

if you're new to the Matt Moberg story, you gotta follow m'boy @mitchellatencio.com. he was likely the first person to see the vision! sojo.net/articles/new...

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out. we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

With the collapses of Twitter and the Internet, there are fewer pathways into baseball writing than there used to be. It seems like it's predominantly women and people of color who've lost those writing opportunities. Some outlets do a better job with this than others, but all need to be better.

Well I guess @baseballamerica.com couldn’t find anyone to hire who wasn’t a white man or hadn’t been banned from baseball for doing some seriously gross shit. Why bother trying to be better? Just hire the same old white dudes no matter what they’ve done. Don’t try. Don’t strive. Morals? Pffft.

New for @teenvogue.com (!) The young immigrant women workers of Lawrence won the 1912 Bread and Roses strike because of solidarity—which is also exactly how the people of Minnesota built the durable and inspiring resistance network we all saw on January 23, 2026. www.teenvogue.com/story/from-m...

I would watch MELANIA before this AI piece of shit.

How he got here: he had a lifetime job in baseball then got banned for human trafficking

Post insane bootleg sports shit for @dhm.bsky.social

Obama being best positioned to coordinate opposition to this administration (particular in civil society smoke filled rooms) but instead opting to lob pronouncements from Olympus like Jupiter but only for those pronouncements to be podcast recs is so insanely Barrycoded

I am absolutely gutted by this. I've known Dan for what feels like forever. Just such a funny, positive person. We spoke last month about me doing a story on him and his battle with cancer -- he wanted to shed light on it. And we never were able to make it happen. I feel devastated by it.

shout out to Dan McQuade, who took me up on an offer to see Hannibal Buress at the Troc, pulled out his phone to record the Bill Cosby joke, and through the butterfly effect of the internet sent Bill Cosby to prison and kickstarted the #MeToo movement. He was one of the kindest guys I’ve ever met.

“Minnesotans’ relentlessness offers a blueprint for how to react when ICE inevitably arrives to stir up trouble where there was none; how to look violence dead in the eye and say not in my town; how to provide aid laterally when you know those at the top won’t be passing any down.” My latest—

RIP Dan Mcquade. A truly beautiful man who could do it all and he wrote like hell. My thoughts are with his infant son and his wife. He truly made Defector the special thing it is and is probably the one thing all of Philly could agree on. Love you buddy, fly to the moon defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

I am crushed. Very few of them like @dhm.bsky.social. It was really cool to meet him in person a few years back after goofing around on Twitter for like a decade. A genuine person, funny as hell, a wealth of knowledge about Philly sports. The boardwalk tees. Goddamn. Rest easy, man

Rest in peace to one of the great bloggers and the de facto mayor of Philadelphia. It was my honor and pleasure to work with him. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Everyone is saying what I’m feeling about Dan McQuade. I met him just a few times, but he reached out to me when I lost my job a year ago and I was so touched. I sent nearly every story he wrote to my father, a northeast Philly native, and he loved them as much as I did. What a loss.

I am gutted about Dan McQuade. A great writer, a guy who knew more about what made Philly “Philly” than anybody else, a fellow HGP Firebird, and just a kind person. A terrible loss for all of us.

Fuck, man. RIP @dhm.bsky.social. A legend and wonderful guy.

I only had a couple small interactions with Dan, but he once said seeing his kid’s daycare teacher wearing a Ricky Watters jersey over her Muslim garb represented so much of what he loved Philadelphia & he truly meant it.

Adding my voice to the chorus of people paying tribute to Dan McQuade, one of the first Philly media people I met when I was getting started ~15 years ago. As decent a man as you'll find in this business, and author of countless stories that'll bounce around in my mind forever.

Just saw the Dan McQuade news and am incredibly sad. Philadelphia has lost an institution, and journalism is much worse off without him. Fuck.

This article is so completely wrongheaded that I actually looked up the community college president who wrote it and sent an email to his secretary. It wasn't rude or angry. I just asked questions like "Do you believe people without higher education can tell right from wrong, or good from bad?"

goddamn fucking coward. get off the stage and never say another public word ever again. go away forever.

Ah yes, the Mayor Pete song. I'm guessing next week she drags out "Fight Song" to really remind people of success!

Many independent journalists have been! Legacy food media though …. 🦗 🦗 🦗

I don't care what anyone says, the Steelers had to be thinking about retaining and working with Aaron Rodgers when they hired McCarthy. When he turns them down for 2026 it's going to be hilarious.

I hate Johns Hopkins Hospital. An enormous piece of shit company that sucks incredibly in every way and wants to make sure that you, as a patient, are deeply dissatisfied with everything they've done, but still alive so they can claim success.
