LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ELANA MEYERS-TAYLOR 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

It is absolutely a choice.

Also can the Rangers draft Caroline Harvey

Team USA women's hockey is 31-1 in goals/goals against heading into the gold medal game. They've posted *five* straight shutouts and have scored at least five goals in each game, and they're scoring up and down the roster. Just unprecedented dominance

Put that on the small screen and turn the Unrivaled 1v1 tourney on the big screen (TNT/HBO Max)

Good god, Allan Houston's stroke is still silky smooth

Look, if shitty jukebox musicals and stale Disney musicals are necessary to keep the rest of live theatre in business, then I say have at it

A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities. Stay safe. Fuck ICE.

Good progress toward a move that should've been implemented from the jump, as countries like the UK and Ireland have banned credit cards from being used to place online bets for years

I've been sick since Monday and have had a hard time putting down food, but I've gotta eat because apparently all the cold meds except for Sudafed are NSAIDs, and kidney donors can't have those.

So here I am, trying to trudge my way through an 11am frozen Marie Callender's chicken pot pie.
