i love house of villains for bringing in drita d’avanzo but they’ve lost my goodwill with the men this season. ironically tom sandoval is the only tolerable one.

'Shoresy' is Better Than 'Ted Lasso' 'Shoresy' is one of the best shows airing right now, an emotionally satisfying, uplifting, and singular merging of sports drama and comedy.

New at @popheist.com, I wrote a thing I've been thinking about writing for a long time, because SHORESY Season 5 is great.

Go 'til you can't go no more!

I’m also leaning Lomu, I like Proctor’s size a TON but Lomu’s upside as a swing tackle just a bit more!

I'll have more words on this mock draft on Monday but I do like the flexibility the Lions have at every other position of need on Day 2 *aside* from tackle. they've got to go tackle at 17.

Mitski review – pop meets performance art in a masterful spectacle The Shed, New York CityAt a six-night residency, the singer creates an immersive world filled with wry humor and big emotions

i know people on here don't rly care about culture coverage but sharing because I'm proud I did it: reviewed Mitski's new residency at NYC's The Shed @us.theguardian.com

seeing her perform for the ninth time in 9 years (!), I feel confident saying that Mitski is in her triumphant era.

that too. I just still don't think there was enough there to overturn it, I also think she "moved" because uh, she got kneed below the belt.

Unrivaled has done a lot of things well, including innovative tweaks to the gameplay (4th quarter played to a target score, free throws counting for 2-3 points). one thing I would like to see done away with is free throws deciding a game in the 4th, lol.

still can't believe how much I disliked that championship game ending on a free throw.

like legitimate title contenders without him! no need to come back! I'd be kicking back and relaxing watching my team wipe the floor if I were him lol but I'm also not a superstar athlete clamoring to compete.

05.03.2026 18:06 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

it'd be one thing if they were like a fringe playoff team or a play-in team, but they're a top team in the NBA, and look like a legit beast in the East without him. just feels like a poor long-term decision but I mean, if it works out, it works out! I guess!

05.03.2026 18:04 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I want this to work out for him, but this seems really really risky. I understand they're not in the Pacers' boat of being able to just tank & have Hali back next year, but for that same reason, shouldn't he be OK with sitting? Boston is doing so well...
