Eh, it turned out okay. It made lots of people who've been able to ignore it up until now be forced to confront how toxic men's hockey (sports?) culture is. I imagine that it sucked all the joy out of winning for many Americans.

As much grief as I gave you for your ill-timed post after the USA Men's game, I have no notes on this one.

This was far more nuanced than I expected. But also, I *totally* get why people hate AI.

It just hits a bit different when our country has been under actual threat by yours for the last year. Our nerves are on edge.

Eat a bag of dicks, Cox. Enjoy it when Tkachuck calls your president the GOAT, again. Too goddamned soon.

Congrats to team USA, but can we fucking dispense with the 3-on-3 OT format?

Massive PK for the US there. May be the pivotal moment in this game.

I'd *almost* sign back up to see this, but then I remember that it's an absolute cesspool over there and I won't in any way participate in a Nazi bar. Love the bit, tho'.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I still remember reading pieces about (and interviews with) Timnit Gebru and think that there should have been much more attention paid to her firing.

February 12 was once a very important date in the Black community. At least for the 75 years after Emancipation.

Frederick Douglass called him "emphatically the Black man's president."

Sojourner Truth said "I was never treated by anyone with more kindness & cordiality than by Abraham Lincoln."
