To me, most “posting” now is either futile or a slight variation on bits/takes that a bunch of other people are already doing - so that’s why I don’t post much anymore. It makes me feel like a cog in a boring, useless machine

Anyway I hope everyone is having a nice Wednesday

Yeah man that’s called “reading a book.” If your brain can’t handle multiple reading sessions, you should just try something less challenging for you

I’m not going to explain what happened at the end of this game and clearly after 35+ years of watching this team I cannot be broken (or fixed, depending on how you look at it) but at one point I actually yelped in pain
FINAL: Pirates 7, Reds 8.

ESPN was and still should be the king of “background noise” TV. You could just keep SportsCenter on all morning. Everyone used to do this.

Instead, it is now actively annoying and abrasive to have ESPN on while you’re doing other things. I don’t know anyone who does it.

It's everywhere. No place is immune. It is so depressing to walk around Brooklyn and see these signs in the windows of/in front of roughly half of the restaurants. It honestly subtracts from a sense of place in a way most people don't seem to think about—also depressing.
ChatGPT posters and flyers are polluting real life and driving me insane.

Please respond to this with the worst ones you've seen irl. I'll post some in the thread

*me simply wearing my Whalers hat in the wrong place at the wrong time while visiting Buffalo again for the first time in years*

Uh-oh!
if the sabres advance the first shithead that walks up Perry wearing a brand new whale is getting interred in a grain elevator
The king @hucklebuckets.bsky.social said it best that the Canes breaking out the Whalers uniforms is like a serial killer wearing his victim’s skin.

I always like seeing this old tweet because it reminds me of how the Pens won the next two Cups ☺️
didn’t even make it to may this time so sad

Not sure it’s possible to come back from down 3-0 with so many forwards still MIA and only a few defensemen able to handle the puck with any confidence in their own zone, but I deeply appreciate the Pens for making this into a series

To be clear this type of team historically gives the Pens fits, so it does make sense, but man…these Flyers looked at the 90s Devils and said “whoa, too freewheeling.” Just nothing happening for either team

It's almost like winning 30 games (Miami OH, High Point) does tell you a little something about a team

Some people said this tournament was dead

Some people said the mid majors no longer had the juice

Some people said the madness was fleeting from March

Those people do not know ball

Venezuela did something that felt revolutionary in the WBC. They had fun playing baseball.
Freedom for What?
The World Baseball Classic reminded us of something MLB has forgotten: what it means to play for something larger.

Just know that if you argue against Miami OH getting into the tournament, you are against the very spirit of March Madness and need to look inward - both as a sports fan and a human
