I'm glad I waited so I could watch the game without being spoiled. One of the most exciting games in a while. If you like hockey and you're not watching women's hockey you're missing out.

I'm so bored at work and I can't even do anything on the Internet without risking getting the Olympic hockey game spoiled before I can watch it. It's real hard to look busy some days.

I'm not voting in the hugos, but I think it would be cool if Clipping were nominated for dead channel sky. It's not as much of a cohesive narrative as their previous two nominations, but it's still in the same space and definitely in conversation with a bunch of classic SFF.

I had sleep paralysis for the first time last night, and I totally get how that can drive people insane if it happens frequently. Even though I realized what it was as soon as I woke up it still unsettled me enough to make it hard to get back to sleep.

The most unrealistic thing about Ferris Bueller is that they didn't spend the entire day at the art institute.

I'm glad we decided to go to an art museum so at least I had something to do when my date stood me up.

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

I'm trying to prep for a Stars Without Number campaign and I forgot how boring high-crunch systems are to read. It feels like I'm back in college reading a textbook.

Catching up on Olympic hockey and I don't get some of these uniform choices. Why do the white Italy sweaters have a bunch of blue? That's the one major color that's not on the countries flag.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Last time I saw an old white man get this mad at a bad bunny it was Elmer Fudd! He was the man, I mean. Not the bunny. That was bugs. Sorry. the rabbit was bugs. His name was bugs. He’d be like bad bunny in this situation.

I'm doing the annual harassment training for work and in the case study videos they keep framing the actors so you can clearly see the chair's logo. It feels like product placement.

I love that curling is still a sport of people that have to have day jobs. I think it would be fun to have an Olympics with no professional athletes, just people that have done really well in their hobbies.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

The NHL lucked into a cultural breakthrough that it almost never gets and teams have chosen not to capitalize on it because, essentially, "it's kinda gay"
