heartbreaking. these kids deserve so much better.

I feel bad for everyone who says "I asked ChatGPT for advice" instead of just adding "reddit" to whatever what was their search term or topic

It's not just the guys.

It's really not prudent to not understand that women's hockey has MANY of the same problems

A lot of folks have joined the discourse this week w/out one iota of context or history & are putting the women's team up like a foil to the men's. They're going to be disappointed

In 1966, my grandfather, Ted Lindsay, boycotted his own Hockey Hall of Fame induction because women and families weren’t invited. I’ve been thinking about that story a lot lately. It reminds me that standing up for women isn’t dramatic. It isn’t radical. Sometimes it’s just a decision a very simple one. Men have always had the power to expand the table. Some choose to. The last photo is of me and him on Ted Lindsay, night at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. 🐙#7

From Threads: didn't know this about Ted Lindsay, but b this is badass. 🔥🏒👏

It was always going to happen this way. Those of us in the media space have been a) warning new fans that this was what men’s hockey culture was really like, & b) warning the NHL that they should maybe not alienate all the new fans they said they were excited to be receiving. And yet, here we are!

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

i’ve been twice now and it is a sheer DELIGHT

"Miss Alice Walton, of Nashville, who has been visiting Mrs. T F Whetstone returned home yesterday."

one of the weirdest parts of old newspapers: they had a whole section where you could just Tell People What You Were Up To

goalies, basically

the thing about the Olympics is that they combine one of the most corrupt organizations in the world and also pure joy.

fuckin grim

So great but also, ESPN has had 15 years to get this going. Keep in mind it owned the rights to WNBA, NCAA women’s sports and all four Grand Slams at the height of Serena’s dominance. People pitched these shows. The network didn’t just find out about women’s sports.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Big sliding save by Aerin Frankel after a failed clear from the US

look, I love the USWNT — AND you’ll never get me to root against canadian women’s hockey

great time for an all time sports tweet

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

are goalies not put through enough already

ICE takes mother and children including 5-year-old into custody in Soldotna, lawyer says A group of clergy held a hastily convened media briefing Tuesday afternoon in support of the family and to publicize their apparent detention.

ICE officers took a mother and her three children, including a 5-year-old, into custody in Soldotna on Tuesday, according to the woman’s attorney.

This seem really dangerous. Someone is going to hurt.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

after thinking about this a bit i think this guy is the final boss of Men Who Propose On The Stadium Jumbotron So She Has To Say Yes

bleak!!!

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

1. If you want indie journalism, you gotta pay for it.

2. Paywalls work. I resisted using a paywall for a long time until I realized I had to if I wanted to pay my bills.

3. Journalism is a public good that doesn't exist without public support. Keep it out of billionaire hands with a paid sub.
