At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

freddy removing the super bowl mask to reveal thursday night football

If it had stopped when the park went back online it would have been good - I was ready to give it a laugh. Then it just kept going...

Best ad of the night, eat shit AI

I had an audible reaction that had my husband pulling off his headphones from his online Pathfinder game in the same hotel room

Yo, you could have given me a thousand guesses as to what that karaoke ad was going to be for and crypto still wouldn't have come up

@jon_bois a football player carries the ball to the 49 yard line, then the 50 yard line. however, after taking another step forward, he finds to his astonishment that he is once again at the 49 yard line. but how can this be? this is the grand riddle of football

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

An e-ink image of the cover for the book Black as Diamond by UM Agoawike

I don't think this one is my jam. It is set in a cool world, but 4 POVs means that a lot of worldbuilding gets lost in moving the plot along. I think it might have benefitted from being turned into two books so that we can sit with the characters and world more, and the ending feels a bit abrupt.

zoomer coworker told me to "keep on party rocking" and i feel condescended to in the way ww2 veterans must have felt when their grandkids told them about storming normandy in Medal of Honor on the PS2

Two Boox 6 Go tablets, one with Black as Diamond by UM Agoawike in a smaller font size and dimmer screen and the other with British Food: An Extraordinary Thousand Years of History with a relatively larger font and brighter screen

Geoff and I are reading on the same device. He hasn't really changed any settings, while I have.

The main ones being somewhat obvious in font size and brightness, but also in subject matter (dark fantasy fiction v. British food)

Me whenever someone recommends a show to watch: I appreciate that you think I'd like it but I barely watch the shows that I watch.

Me after watching one (1) episode of a show about broken people being cartoons in a fake circus together: help, I'm attached

A tabby cat on tile floor

There was a dead mouse in the hallway this morning. Pictured: an Apex Predator who decided to play with it and therefore had to be distracted with peanut butter so that Geoff could throw the thing away

It's been a long time since I last listened to The Real Slim Shady, I will admit that.

But I really don't remember quite so many blank spots as the version I just heard on the radio...

It's a bit slick in Denver, Pats can't do anything here

I don't know how easy or not it would be to do this, but I'd be fascinated to see an energy consumption comparison between a week when I'm on vacation v. a week when my husband's on vacation. He leaves so many lights on throughout the house...

And then to be able to compare it to a normal week too.

A paperback copy of The Outsiders by SE Hinton

There are a lot of books that people read in high school that I didn't - this is one of them. I like how hopeful the ending is.

Hope that rest helps and you feel better soon! 💛💛

Then there's the ones that are historical. And then the ones that are mythical.

Author: imma bring my favorite lotr myth characters into this, my work that I'm writing and providing for free!

Me: I love and appreciate all you are doing but please... The names... So similar... Make it stop...

The joys of reading Lord of the Rings fanfiction:
There's the characters you know well. Then the characters that have smaller roles. Then the characters that just kinda show up for a minute and fuck off. Then the ones that are basically there but just off page. Then the ones that are mentioned.

Me: imma set a new year goal based around my hobbies so that I feel accomplished while having fun!

Also me: reads fanfiction for a week straight instead of the books I listed that I want to read

Starting off strong, y'all.

Well at least my Bears Fan Brother and I won't have to be strategically separated to watch the game next week...

The first time I saw it, I was like 'hey that's neat.'

The second time, I thought that the neatness didn't really warrant a second read through - once was enough.

And then it just kept happening...

The win probability chart for San Diego State v. Northern Illinois, where the probability stays pretty much in the middle until halfway through the fourth quarter. The final score was 6 - 3

A kindle screen black and white version of the cover of Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett

It wasn't the smoothest reading (many pauses for a few days, one for about a month) but I finished the Emily Wilde series. I really enjoyed them - a different take on Fae than romantasy takes, and I adored Emily and Wendell's relationship.

Someone put on Kpop Demon Hunters in the bar of the restaurant we're at right before we came in - for a movie that's all about music, it's an interesting choice to have on a muted tv.
