I feel like professional hockey commentators should know better, I'll be real

Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk's flight
On the empty sky.

who the fuck is commentating this pens-bruins game and just pronounced Worcester, MA as "Whor-chester"

Sixty years on, a Star Trek writer is still creating strange new worlds Diane Duane’s early days writing fan fiction have led to a remarkable career as a novelist, comic writer and screen writer.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.

Squirrel Hill Lunar New Year parade canceled amid fears of ICE in Pittsburgh’s Asian community In lieu of the public event, organizers invite residents to write their New Year’s wishes on red tags, and tie them on trees throughout the neighborhood.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

I have always liked asparagus but fresh picked asparagus out of the garden is entirely different and puts any previous asparagus to shame.

Hey, I wonder how the Kyle MacLachlan AMA is goi-

I couldn't justify that one to myself but I did manage to justify the debbie harry sweatshirt with the grommets because it was cold out.

The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro.

ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever.

This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

You are a woman who plays hockey. You just won the Olympic gold medal. Your national head of state just demeaned you in the most sexist of ways. A music legend invites you to a celebration with him, instead of with the loser guy who just dissed you and your teammates. What would you do? YEAH, BOYYYY

same. I'm wearing wildfang right now, and i mix it with less edgy pieces for work. a wardrobe of plain work basics from Nordstrom Rack with makeup/hair/jewelry/accessories providing the vibe is my go-to, and wildfang is often on deck for a cool print button-down underneath a black suit.

NEWS: The WNBA informed its teams and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association on Monday that if there isn’t a term sheet in place for the new CBA by March 10, the 2026 season will be impacted, multiple sources told Sabreena Merchant.

When it's about hating trans people, these motherfuckers can't shut up about how much they care about women's sports.

When it's about women winning a gold medal in hockey, though, it's fun to insult them and act like only men matter.

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

SO GOOD! "the idea that my political ideology is synonymous with hating technology is confusing. Every leftist I know has a hard-on for high speed rail or mRNA vaccines. But the “left is missing out” blog positions generative AI as the only technology that matters." -- @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

ngl that sounds like an especial cruelty

I finally got around to reading Hamlet when I was about 25 and after I finished it just kind of sat there dumbfounded at how many phrases from it are in common use.

my other fave is “you would have said this about the Industrial Revolution” yeah dude, I hope I would have vociferously objected to the mass death and immiseration from irresponsible forced use of barely-understood new technology by craven monopolists incapable of valuing human life in that era, too

Even just better transit solutions. There’s plenty of tech I am excited about.

“When will the left be excited about tech?” Brother, wait until you hear about mRNA vaccines.

The Concentration Camp Next Door | Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts The Trump administration has weaponized immigration detention against America

A thought that had genuinely never occurred to me

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

Armies wear uniforms for a reason. And not just because it makes the laundry easier.

I am reminded of certain lilac blossoms on a certain Glorious 25th of May. How do you tell your comrades from your potential murderers? A carrot, a leek, a lilac sprig, a red knitted hat, a frog costume.

Duh.
