today's blank check pod is technically 2:59:44, which led to the add showing before pressing play that it was 2 hours, 60 minutes long

I'm watching the super bowl at a friend's house later, and we are picking up costco pizzas, as god intended

Weโ€™re damned if we do, and weโ€™re damned if we donโ€™t. As the opening ceremonies are underway in Milan, be sure to read this report about the extreme financial risks LA faces in hosting the next Olympic and Paralympic Games

as a raider fan (who is in constant consideration of divesting because of tom brady's involvement) I still consider the seahawks an afc west team so I could find no trouble mustering hate for them

I get it. Plus having them win on the 49ers home field would be particularly tough to stomach

I'd be more on board with this if they were playing almost any other team today

this happened to my mom once (we were not at taste of the nfl) and she, without missing a beat, said "shit! literally"

apart from anything else, let us recognize Bad Bunny for his contributions to the field of walk up music, a genre otherwise full to the brim with praise ballads and whatever the hell that "Up Down" song is

You non-sports fans have to understand that for people who are really into pro football, today is basically their Super Bowl

Terrance Gore embraced his role to become a 3-time World Series champion For Royals fans, Gore represents a connection to an era where the team made consecutive World Series and won a championship.

This story from @bymccullough.bsky.social about Terrance Gore's death, and life, is really great.

"He crackled with life, first as the kid brother of those Royals teams, and later as a journeyman bouncing from contender to contender in search of a base to steal."

Today there was one routine that actually looked nice and Johnny was like โ€œyou hear how the skates sound like theyโ€™re scratching against the ice? Thatโ€™s how you know theyโ€™re not doing a good jobโ€

yeah this one had a little better story/structure than most (not that his movies necessarily need them, he's so good at carrying a lot). I really liked the performance of Bodhi Rae Breathnach as his "sidekick" in this one
