Huge day for countries undergoing turmoil in the 90s qualifying for the World Cup: Iraq, Congo DR, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Czechia. If Kosovo had earned independence earlier, maybe they would have beat Türkiye.

Why is the picture quality of the YouTube stream of this @bostonfleet.com @thepwhl.com game clearly better than the broadcast on Spectrum's TV channel?

Worth noting that the US goal was scored with McDavid, MacKinnon and Makar on the ice for Canada. McDavid didn't get back fast enough to take away the pass to Hughes.

One year Paul Rudd was in our fantasy baseball league. He drafted a lot of Royals and did poorly. I believe I also bought him a pack of Parliaments during the draft. And Brooke Shields came to my non-profit's event fundraiser.

Far too many worthy contenders but this one feels like the exact right amount of on-the-nose: youtu.be/eWzIlCJAw-o?...

Somebody send Clay the full explainer here (which is an absolute S-tier piece of work that was an education and appreciation unto itself): bsky.app/profile/beck...

Apropos of everything/nothing, this is hilarious: youtu.be/bI3JY6ySKeI?...

I didn't heed the warning of this @barryp.bsky.social piece and now I've recreated some of these conditions in my own home defector.com/i-have-creat...

If you've never watched this, I can't implore you to do so any more forcefully. It comes from a different time (2016) but is equal parts funny and poignant and completely embodies a world I want to live in forever. youtu.be/PXTl88_H4tg?...

Listening to a podcast (or anything else) at 1.5x or 2x is like putting a 33rpm record on 45rpm. Sure you can listen to more in less time, but you’re getting it in a warped way just so you can check the “assignment completed” box.

He's going to score 1,000 goals

For one glorious moment before the Jags just scored

Up to 47 yards but Boise St just had the 2nd longest completion of the game wiped out by a holding penalty and now SDSU has the ball up 10 with no incentive to throw.

I get it, we all have lives to live and work to do. But if you think sleeping is better than being conscious and getting to revel in these collective experiences, then we have a disconnect I don't think it's possible to bridge.

I lived through the Red Sox 2003-2004 nexus and was overjoyed to reach the top of the mountain, but it also kind of killed my investment in the game (and trading Betts salted the earth). So I totally understand the Mariners fan mindset right now but if they win this and the WS it all changes.
