MAJOR PROPS to @wademinter.com for working in the “1 minute” announcement while calling out Aho’s
SHG / 300th career goal. Well done sir!

The carport at Cary Polar Ice House in Cary, North Carolina, which is made of aluminum, shows signs of being hit by some dumbass in a delivery truck.

So who was the feckin’ eejit who did this at Cary Polar?

Ugh. F the Bruins.

I do not love many of Ehlers’ passing decisions.

That goal by Svech might be one of the prettiest, most dominant I’ve ever seen from him. I’ll take those all. day. long.

Cool that Bucci dressed up like a hockey announcer tonight. Maybe he should leave the calls to the pros? I like his enthusiasm, and I love AJ as the analyst, but the game call leaves a lot to be desired.

Culture is what you care for.

The crowd noise level in T-Mobile Arena gets up to at least 6 7 decibels.

Fluffy!

I’ve seen better starts.

Is it too early in the season to ask for a SHG?

It strikes at the weirdest times

Starting a petition to get a less alliterative sponsor for the Power Play.

Not a Hot take: Storm Brew is not a good enough beer to shell out $11.50 for it a can of it. At $7 it was a solid spend.

Hey y’all if you turn on the ANA-SEA game, you can see the Kraken playing the Disneyland Traffic Cones. Tied 1-1 part way through the 1st. Do the Ducks fans chant #LetsGoCones ??

I’m going to make a new personalized plate (the one with the Canes logo) based on the new hashtag: CLTR

It appears that NCSU 🏈 is atrociouser?

As a longtime Hokies fan (who cheers for State in all other games), I can assure you that I know *very* well the pain of losing to a lesser team.

This one does.

I just saw a guy in our neighborhood making an Amazon grocery delivery. He’s driving a beautiful newer model Maserati. I drive a nearly 18 year old Toyota Highlander Hybrid with > 229,000 miles. Sure, I don’t have payments on it, but maybe I need to switch jobs. I can carry stuff & drive!

If a POTUS & their Administration were going after 2A rights like they’re going after 1A rights, there’d be a legit civil war. But as MAGA voters watch this massive attack on free speech and the vitriol against “tHe LeFt,” it’s just example of the 🍊 🤡 “just being tough.” Welcome to the Dictatorship.

I just listened to the new #EdSheeran album “Play” (Extended Edition). It slaps!! 🙌

When I see flags lowered to half mast today, I won’t be thinking of one particular person who passed recently. Instead, I’ll be thinking of thousands of people who lost their lives 24 years ago, and in related conflicts since that time, all of whom died because of hateful rhetoric and extremism.

I MF loathed anything Mr. Kirk had to say. But he should not have been made a martyr. Nothing he ever said or wrote was important; it was just tired, Christian Nationalist bullshit over & over. His death gives his beliefs more weight than they merit. A living CK was a bigger danger to his own ideas.

The entrance to Invisalign Arena in Morrisville, North Carolina has five crows sitting atop a wall in the early morning.

Lots of crowbros this morning at IA. This was a smaller number of the many dozens more all roosting on the light towers around WCC. It was cool to see. One of my favorite drones, oops I meant birds, for sure.

Uuuuu … dang it’s been forever.

Blade Runner.

There are other first place films in different genres, but the story, music, cinematography of Blade Runner are stunning, even though it debuted in June 1982, so it’s my overall number one. Tied for second overall is Kill Bill, Vols. 1 & 2 and Branagh’s Hamlet.

*its

Any word on this, @joeovies.bsky.social or @wademinter.com ? Will the 2 sheets of ice it’s supposed to bring to Holly Springs / south Apex *ever* happen?
