Have to give the NHL and it's players props, that tournament was nuts. The injuries attest to the intensity and are a really unfortunate outcome for some guys, especially McAvoy. Sounds like his is serious.

On the other hand, you're probably not beating that Canada team twice in one tournament. Those two teams play 100, they probably split.

Worst guy in the world to leave wide open in the slot like that. Not a good look for Matthews trying to double Marner and leaving his guy.

I'm not sure insulting an astronaut's intelligence because they caught you in a lie is the best move.

Man, I love hockey. Two teams of guys with millions in contracts just launching at each other without abandon.

Amongst all of this uncertainty and chaos, one thing we can rely on are players reporting to spring training. Go Cubs!

I've thought about something a lot lately, and maybe some of you all have too - whether or not to post something critical of what's happening right now. I don't like having to think about it, or even be remotely concerned about it. Not at all.

Went last year with the fam and recommend for any baseball fans. Great way to see prospects, get player access and relax in the AZ sun. Before it gets to melting face levels.

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is jmetraux@motherjones.com. Reposts appreciated.

As a jazz fan, Herbie Hancock is an absolute living legend. Good to see him with Stevie.

Bought my kiddo tickets to see Chappell in June in Kalamazoo. In Kalamazoo! In a small theater! Weeks later she plays to the largest crowd ever at Lolla and now killing it at the Grammys. So cool to see.

Don't like what's happening right now? Let's make some calls.

Staten Island Chuck has most accurate groundhog weather predictions, NOAA says Punxsutawney Phil may be the best-known weather-predicting groundhog, but a new list is throwing shade on how much his predictions should be trusted β€” while New York City’s rodent prognosticator is to...

On a lighter note, apparently the NOAA keeps tabs on the accuracy of groundhog predictions. Phil, the one who gets all the attention, is second worst. Staten Island Chuck, is tops and disagreed with Phil this year. I'm going with Chuck and his 85% accuracy rate.

The fam and I have a ritual of watching each best picture (and animation) nominee - particularly excited to see The Substance in here. Up next though are The Brutalist and Anora.

Really like the packs thing on here too. Reminds me of baseball packs as a kid. But where's the stale gum?!

Thx man! Yeah that account works. She saves a lot of stuff on TT to show me, it's a bit more random.

Definitely need to save posts. I use that feature a lot on IG and it'd help the migration. Simple folder structure would be awesome.

Snow Crash and Neuromancer are both generational works for me, at least. And should be for any SF/F reader. I reread them every few years.

True, it's sad really, considering how great that platform was at first.
