I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

The Reddit app has been feeding me more music stuff lately and it’s hilarious how every genre subreddit, especially the nostalgia genres, are full of β€œthe most popular artist in this genre sucks, actually”

Just inexcusable player development all the way around. Good piece from Kloke.

lmao, he was so hyped up about gushing over the visit that he inadvertently threw the sabres under the bus at the end

Listen, I don't trust these guys to be super aware and can get the "the White House is the White House so I still want to go for what is usually the honor" angle. I even get that some of them like the dude. But man, don't say "why is everyone making this political" and then put on his personal merch

Flooring if to beat a light instead of slowing down for someone chasing a bus transfer in a snowstorm at 1:35 in the fucking morning, while you’re already ahead of schedule, is absolute psycho shit

Found a pair close enough to this. Still has a bunch of AI stuff but I disabled it right away. Camera is widescreen and records longer than the Raybans. Price was very reasonable too. ($180 tax in vs. $610). Weirdos will bitch about the recording light but I want the cam for sports so I don’t care

Again, I guess I'm naive, but I can't believe these guys don't have someone around them smart enough to say "Take the incredibly easy way out and just say your NHL team needs you".

It's not even a politcal or a moral thing, it's just basic PR.

Nobody should reasonably expect Auston Matthews or anyone else to make some big political statement as part of not going to the White House/SOTU.

But if you do go, and (especially) if you miss crucial NHL games to do so, Canadian fans will react. That's not unreasonable or unfair. Be ready for it.

This is one of the only times where it's acceptable to look at a player being away from their team that's paying them and saying, "hey, asshole, what are you getting paid for?"

Ante 20 and still no Boss Rerolls is psycho shit. I’ve got almost everything I need for the naneinf except that and the flip from DNA to Burglar. The eventual Plant I get here is going to be soul crushing

i’m not just going to let β€œthe overrated gordie howe” slide here, the man was mvp six times and led playoff scorers in three decades. he’s the best player of the pre-expansion era by a mile.

sidney crosby couldn’t punt gordie howe if he spent four years at iowa learning from kirk ferentz himself

I’m at this Bar Opera thing with friends and this girl kept looking my way and smiling and I was very confused for a while and it turns out that I’m just sitting in front of one of the performers that has been coming on and off and is definitely her boyfriend

The arena bar here is shocked that Matthews is playing well defensively. There’s like six brain cells in this city

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

I don't usually talk about GenAI on the bird app but I lightly critized that Saltman clip earlier and it rules that the only negative comment I got is from the guy who always tells me the Leafs are actually elite analytically if you adjust their xG 48 different ways

Finding different ways to pass each other the same $20 bill to infinity and the entire western economy is betting on it. I'm sure it's fine

It’s funny, the opposite happens around here; -2 feels colder than -10
