At the intersection where you turn into the stadium/team headquarters, there was also the semi-regular gathering of older folks protesting Trump. We all honked in solidarity as we drove past.

I just appreciate the 50+ y/o out here taking trunk shots and trying to convince the families around him “it’s for the ladies I have met on the internet” like it’s a normal thing.

The guy who interviewed me was like Sean Manaea with short hair. I'm glad I chatted with him even if the job odds are not in my favor.

Callers to Washington state’s driver’s license agency who select automated service in Spanish are instead hearing an AI voice speaking English with a strong Spanish accent.

my friend has two cats and each one has taken turns waking me up. I bet they think it’s really funny (affectionate)

Stopped by the job fair for the AquaSox to look into a seasonal job. There are three more days, and there are already more people here today than there are at an average A's game. No one is ever finding a job ever, are they?

Went to my big brother's house to use his printer. Nearly broke the printer, the wasted printer paper turned into airplane warfare, and I kept his kids up way past their bedtime. My younger sibling work is done.

These fact checkers will need an IV before the evening is through.

*whispers* I was never rooting for the U.S. men's hockey team because I knew they were like this. *says out loud* Flavor Flav for president!

If you’re going to watch a tyrant tonight choose right. She’s *awful* on wildlife conservation though 😹 *courtesy of Hela shedding her winter coat

You would not believe how many automated emails I get from various fruit and vegetable expos because of my job title.

When you have cats, you're never lonely in the bathroom.

My fabulous friend @michelleym.bsky.social has your Olympics update featuring frozen projectiles, one of my favorite desserts, and - let’s be honest - the WORST flavor of muffin open.substack.com/pub/sillygoo...

This one goes out to my fellow thigh forest fire starters. michellemilliken.substack.com/p/the-very-h...

I had too much fun writing this, which took forever because I kept finding more reels to giggle about. This was finished not long before the gold medal game started, so you know it has that 3:30 a.m. quality.

Don't look at me. I wanted Finland to win gold.

i too have woken up at 8AM to watch 40 north american men i don't like beat the shit out of each other

Where does Brad Marchand get his personality? Here's his dad, in a video from Team Canada, when asked what Brad's first jersey number was: www.facebook.com/reel/2907864...

I applied for a seasonal state park aide job, which is mostly just clearing trails and cleaning vault toilets, and I'm legitimately sad I haven't heard back. I still love you with all my heart, though, public lands.

Everyone from the Olympics Scandals actually did great at the Olympics —Canada curling won gold after BoopGate —Cheating biathlete won five medals —Credit card fraud biathlete won 3 golds —Norwegian crotch parachute ski jumper won a bronze Milano-Cortina 2026: Messy and Thriving

Some great Bill Mazeroski lore from the AP's obituary. apnews.com/article/obit...

Perry South. Maywood Street. Caller said that grandpa got drunk at a function and is throwing coats at people. They can’t get him to stop.

Just got a coupon from REI that “doesn’t apply to full price items, sales items, or clearance items.” This seems like a ploy to purchase a bunch of camping gear to go find this elusive item. And I’m totally falling for it.

Yeah ok buddy

Quesadillas are just a socially acceptable way to eat a fistful of shredded cheese

Lake Erie looking very crunchy.

You should not be working on the railroad all the live-long day, nor should you be working on the railroad just to pass the time away. You should be working on the railroad for the duration of a reasonable shift, for fair wages.

more often than not a cat will know you better than you know yourself

[stuffing tiny golden retrievers in my ears] hey sorry, can you hear me? haha yah i just got a new pair of airbuds

Had an interview for an actual news job today. Getting flashbacks from TV newsroom police scanners.

She’s actually lying on her back but I like to think she’d stand like this 😹

Kind of par for the course that the women's hockey gold medal game wasn't on NBC, but the men's semifinal is.

The best part about this Olympics is that women’s hockey kicks off again with all these players in A WEEK. If you liked this, you’ll love the PWHL. Don’t go anywhere, folks.

I'm filing a complaint against Ranker on behalf of Sean Manaea.

It's completely deranged how many news outlets are partnering with "prediction markets" which are just gambling with a fancy name. You'd never watch CNN if it were sponsored by roulette or the concept of "double or nothing."

I got a snow globe in Amsterdam that has a windmill, tulips, and people in clogs. After this Olympics, I'm pretty sure there should have also been a tiny speed skater.

We all fell in love with the muffin man at the 2024 Summer Olympics. I didn't dare hope he'd make an appearance at the Winter Olympics since he's a swimmer, but he is back! Lured by the tiramisu... www.instagram.com/p/DUvrmEDjZp...

My humor post this week recalls a harrowing Salt Lake City Winter Olympics experience, which happened alongside the unmistakable dreaminess of Apolo Anton Ohno. michellemilliken.substack.com/p/the-time-s...

I had an Apolo Anton Ohno fanpage on Geocities called Soul Patch Mystique.

Monobob sounds like a sad guy from HR who has to give sexual harassment training way more than he wants to.

Being an adult is cool because you’re exhausted all the time but you also get the satisfaction of not really accomplishing anything

I'm not rooting for our men's team (my season ticket seatmates and I decided we're Team Finland because of Tolvanen and Kakko), but heck yes, American ladies! I feel like little Michelle watching the women's World Cup in 1999.

Downtown. Seventh Ave at Liberty Ave. Caller says there is a naked guy at the corner. Some cop said he is right there and has been watching. He’s not going to do anything, just observing. Happy belated Valentine’s Day.

Here's my dumb sportsletter from this past week. So many bananas it will provide your weekly potassium requirements.

Important facts learned during my sports newsletter "research" last week.

The PNW’s most glorious dork (complimentary, I swear!) @michelleym.bsky.social is back w/Olympian Nick Baumgartner (who looks like a 1980s swingman (150 IP, 198 hits, 37 Ks). Plus, the WORST ingredient in banana bread AND had me hyperventilating at beating up kids👇🏾 open.substack.com/pub/sillygoo...

Happy Valentine's Day! What's your favorite sitcom romance?

Not to brag, but I was only, like, 4 minutes per mile off of world record pace here.

When we lived in Hawai'i, our neighborhood was on a volcano slope and super steep. My little brother decided he loved the luge one Winter Olympics, and whenever my parents weren't looking, he'd skateboard luge all the way down our street. Thank god he didn't watch the skeleton.
