Bummer to lose a Baltimore born and raised guy

That is perhaps the most crushing individual sport moment I can remember

Absolutely crushed for him

Honestly I think they‘re pricing it a bit low. Especially the VIP experience

Genuinely think they could double the cost across the board

A place Like this is rather perfect or horrendous. No in between

Why are people who speak German so good at sliding sports? Like even among the Italians- it's the German speaking Italians? Did they invent these sports? Just curious about the history

I signed up for @rodger.bsky.social's newsletter because I think he's funny! I was not ready for the depth and grace that he brings: -the Norwegian gold medalist who just lost his best friend, the bravery of Naumov, the Andorran skier overshadowed by Vonn's crash.

Real people, covered beautifully

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

if you remember the FBI + ICE + local raid on a horse race track in Wilder, Idaho that detained hundreds of families (including many kids & U.S. citizens) the @acluidaho.bsky.social just announced a lawsuit.

The complaint is just as disturbing as previous reporting www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Is it even possible to spend more than $10 on a rotisserie chicken? Like if you were trying to buy the most expensive one around

I think the comparison too shale helps in that ”it’s a massive thing but most non-industry people didn’t even notice”- like it didn’t even change the politics of oil

Is Ai investment more like that- or is there something about that will make it noticeable to regular people

As good an opportunity as I'll ever have to post this video of Nate McLouth (born and raised in Muskegon, Michigan) showcasing some of the best Dominican Spanish you will ever hear in your life.

Unbelievable! I had 4 reactions in .5 seconds: "it's clean"; "made contact! yes!"; "oh no! too hard?" "Phew it stopped"

This curling match is wild

Being a class of 2000 kid, I think of "Waiting for Tonight" as an early 2000s song- I guess it technically came out in Fall '99 but it was part of the soundtrack of Y2K, graduation and frist few college years

Huge in luge

It’s a holiday.

a genuine actual US holiday with built
In traditions and experiences unrelated to the quality or makeup of the game itself

if you’re appealing to millenials You gotta know WE ALL KNOW THE LYRICS!

And not even use the real lyrics!

We all know it’s “am I sexual”- it’s famously one of the weirdest lyrics of the 90s

Did you miss “attention“; that album was massive. Had crossover Gen Z and millenial fans and it’s really good

Quad God does just enough 🇺🇸

What a battle with Japan

I can’t tell who should be more upset at this statement: Duke Ellington, Marvin Gaye, Fugazi, or Chuck Brown?

i found the Georgian And Italian performances to be incredibly lovely. And then the Americans came on and I was like “woah these guys are pro!”

Just another level

The highest honor I may have ever achieved on Twitter was when Scott Hanson read and responded to my tweet about my love of Gold Zone during work hours

Hanson calling me “brother” had me ascending to the moon

Wisdom

Should I buy a wFinland women‘s hockey sweater for everyone in my family now or just start with one for myself.

GOLD
ZONE

(and also actually read Lord of the Rings- real LOTR fans would spend less time making evil banks and more time writing bad poetry)

I guess I have yet to experience the ads outside of social media as they aren't here in Chicago yet (or DC or Baltimore or NYC, or Philly or Boston or Toronto- the cities I go to regularly)- gotta try it in Miami when I visit family this Spring

Like you can imagine a Waymo campaign that goes something like "driven by technology, but supported by humans- because your safety matters that much"

That's compelling and honest and avoids the human support being a "gotcha" instead makes it an asset
