I feel this deep in my soul. Why did we do it? Why did we keep playing? WHY?

Puppies at the office for World Mental Health Day... best day EVER.

(All of the pictures are bad because they do not stop moving in their pursuit of treats 😆)

I DIDN'T DO IT but just remember, any success by the Pens keeps them out of the draft lottery 🙏

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

I really want a journalist to ask these people why *they're* not antifa, since it just means anti-fascist and that feels like something leaders of a so-called democratic republic should be.

Hell, ask them what antifa means and see if they even know, because my guess is a lot of them have no clue.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

My sports schadenfreude has gotten so big and vibrant tonight that it found a schadenfreude spouse and they reproduced and now there are little baby schadenfreudes running around my apartment laughing and pointing up I-95.

(Actually all he had to do was throw correctly to literally any base. Big ol' yikes either way.)

Becca @beccahjr.bsky.social · 1d

LA hitter broke his bat, ball bounced to pitcher, all he had to do was throw home to get the runner on third out and end the inning... completely whiffed on the throw and the Dodgers scored the winning run.

As always, screw the Hurrikanes. Overrated garbage team who will hopefully crash and burn in spectacular fashion.

(Determined to find different ways to spell their dumbass name to avoid trolls. Join me on this 82+ game journey! 😆)

I get that almost everyone plays tonight and everyone plays Saturday but it feels like there was probably a way to not go completely dark on the first Friday of the season 🙄🙄🙄

Anyway thank you for your service, Dodgers... feel free to take the rest of the playoffs off, rest up for spring training.

Plus: the ESPN app on Roku finally has multiview

Minus: why are these the options I'm given when I'm watching HOCKEY. Does it look like I give a fuck about college football?? (Spoiler: few things I give *fewer* fucks about than CFB.)

Screenshot of ESPN app multiview options showing only one other hockey game and the rest stupid college football
