This is a curling account now

Dropkin nailed that one

In my humble opinion, we’d all be better off is more songs were in 9/8

The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us! nearly brings me to tears every time I listen to it. But his Michigan album has so many beautiful deep cuts too

TK on the other hand

Ersson is so cooked

Going to the Flyers came tonight in Boston. Tail end of a back to back, team showing no signs of life coming into the game. I’m ready to get hurt (and verbally berated, as it should be)

I hate that 100% of properties are polluted with a namespace/prefix to avoid property collision that likely only happens <1% of the time, but I just don’t know another way to elegantly do this. I guess you could say the parent schema always wins out?

My educated guess: most video game builders have proprietary data models that enables “low-code” editing, and to produce it in a specific format with guardrails is a lot harder than whatever they’re doing, especially when these companies aren’t building or training the models.

I’m going to turn into the joker, it is still snowing. The plow couldn’t get up our driveway today, so we’re literally snowed in

Golden retriever in front of the door, surrounded my 18” of snow

Black lab making a path through a lot of snow

Telling my Californian coworkers I can’t work today because I’m stuck outside playing with my dogs

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Short handed hat trick?!! That’s a top tier way to do it

I’m just catching up on the current drama, but I feel like the life lessons here are:
1. It’s always a bad idea to “stan” any content creators
2. Performative allyship always gets exposed. Just be sincere. If you’re not actually interested in something, don’t talk about it. It’s simple

Veggie Tales as Best Picture nominees. A thread:

Hamnet (Chloe Zhao)

Great, now I won’t be able to fall asleep. Too damn Gart angry

Oh Garnet Hathaway. Oh no. How did he not shoot that sooner?

I normally watch on YoutubeTV, but the frame rate on ESPN+ is absolutely horrid. The puck looks like it time hops

Don’t let the Flyers PP get hot

That was a great first period by the Flyers

Flyers are getting blown out by a team that just put out a letter saying “we’re sorry we exist”

Michkov fight? Michkov fight!

Let’s try this again…

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Since moving to Boston, I’ve casually rooted for the Sox (Fenway is always a great experience). Gonna make a plan to go to Ranger games exclusively. Really hope he continues to make a career for himself

This reminds me of Dave Hakstol’s final game: scratching Lindblom for Lehtera. Going out doing what you love

Goedart that’s my freaking guy
