More like Prime at nein based on my bedtime these days

Spending mine on a gaming laptop and a family trip to Portugal. Guess I'm still in denial.

Wait, did we know that Tyler Kleven had the hardest shot out of anyone all season?

This season was always cursed. From Jensen coming back worse from surgery than he was with a torn hip, to every goalie in the system being the worst in the league despite the Sens leading the league in xGA, to signing Reimer to having unabashed Trumphiles... sometimes you just gotta admit defeat

Congrats to @cbeatae.bsky.social on the Sens finally acquiring Warren Zevon

Named after a guy named Pershing.

My boss is going to Thunder Bay next week, I told her to eat a Persian, and she said, "Do you mean eat Persian? Eating a Persian is illegal."

Not a trade suggestion but more just thinking out loud. St Louis has the idea of taking Brady Tkachuk home. They're in the west. So... Brady for Thomas and Kyrou, who says no?

I have lots of thoughts but they all seem trivial. Let me just say, there's something surreal, heartbreaking, and incredibly privileged, holding my daughter as I read about people who will never be able to hold their daughters again.

Does that make you feel a little... Unwell?

Almost for sure the most expensive

This is the first ex-Sens coach to find another NHL head coach job since either Jacques Martin or Rick Bowness, depending on how you math

The easiest god to worship is the one you build in your own image

Because the people who make the laws profit

His charge: he'll charge during the Charge, no charge

I think this one guy, Donald Trump, is consolidating power towards a dictatorship. Maybe we should consider stopping him before it's too late.

It really is really really good. Not at all what I expected from Riri. A great way for her to end her music career.

I thought the end of Melnyk was the end of these awful seasons

I've been doing physical, but Jeff Hays is a wizard so I listen to specific bits, like Donut singing or Prepotente screaming

Ooh, my D&D group got me into this series and I'm now about a quarter into book 6. Also jealous.

How many of those dudes learned what the State of the Union was while in attendance?

I bet at least one of them heard State of the Union undress and assumed they were going to the strip club with Trump (which would still be political)

My daughter asked me, "Why are the Canadians mad at the nice hockey man?", and when I said it's because he lived out his childhood dreams of visiting the Speaker of the House and sitting in the chamber for the State of the Union address, she started crying.

(My ode to @nytpitchbot.bsky.social)

Booing leaves room for nuance. It has to be clear the vitriol for Brady/Sandy isn't over them beating Canada, it's over celebrating a tyrant. Maybe chanting "Trump ass-kisser 👏 👏 👏👏👏" does it?

I know only 5 people will read this but here goes. I stopped reading Facebook in 2019 for mental health reasons. I deleted Twitter (and my original Bluesky) 2 years ago for the same reason. There's no choice between Relevant Online™ and healthy for the people you love.

Like I hope this was at least written after sundown. You're supposed to be fasting!

😮😮😮😮

I don't understand that ad and yet somehow it lives rent-free in my brain

My hot take: I think the IOC only cares because Russia is a medal threat in a lot of sports. Other countries do better with no Russians in the Olympics.

Maybe? I was 11 so I didn't have much of ah opinion. I think the problem is that the IOC wants to make some things political but not all. What should we expect from the group that let Hitler host an Olympics?

Invading a sovereign nation (Venezuela). It's what keeps Russia out (but also protesting it keeps out some Ukrainians)

Canada's strategy: Get Hellebuyck moving laterally. Take away his eyes. Second and third chances. Don't let off the pressure.

USA's strategy: Shots. On goal.
