All of our wounds are self-inflicted though. We created our own curse with a string of terrible fucking GMs.

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 7m

I have no ill will toward the player, sometimes skilled players just can't stay healthy for whatever reason, but it's a GM's job to improve their team and ours just committed us to several more seasons of a 1C that won't be in the lineup most of the time.

The Sens were trying to unload his contract for like two years, but all they needed was a rube like Kevyn to take the bait.

Josh Norris entering and exiting the Sabres lineup like...

Seriously fuck GMKA, everyone knew this was likely to keep happening.

Everyone said he was good but can't stay healthy and GMKA was like "I'll take that bet!"

Adam Bojak (D) announced his candidacy for New York's 149th Assembly District, Friday — a day after the seat's current occupant, Jon Rivera, announced his own bid for Senate. But neither seat is yet open, and both rely on a Sean Ryan Buffalo mayoral election win.

Yeah, an ECG mostly just tells you if you're in normal sinus rhythm. It can diagnose several heart issues but I'm skeptical of it being a measure of "heart age."

Black people have been asking this question for a very long time.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 1d

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Great movie, Hoult as Lex is delightfully petty and unhinged.

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 17h

He is completely untethered from reality and nobody cares and nothing matters anymore. The nihilist in chief.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Yeah I feel like my sleep hygiene has improved too 😅 though getting out of bed gets harder in proportion.

He kicks anything off in the summer, but in the winter he sleeps soundly enough I guess that the sheets stay in place!

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 1d

Ever since the overnight lows dropped my kid has been sleeping through the night for the first time in about a month and a half, so clearly he just needed that good sleeping weather and a few blankets 🍂

Honestly it's been kinda sad how much the team accounts have been hyping up concessions in the lead up to the season opener.

When Lindy was re-hired it was all about "setting a new standard" and building a successful culture and now they're like "LONG FOOD!!!" 🥖

Honestly that palace intrigue might be the only interesting thing about the franchise right now

Your Friendly Neighborhood TransitDad @robins36.bsky.social · 1d

I suspect the comparisons between Dylan Cozens and Josh Norris are not gonna be favorable (if he even plays half the games this season).

Guy is made of glass and we still traded for him for...reasons.

I lived and breathed Sabres hockey for most of my 20's but that era is over. I don't have any sports teams that are near and dear to me now.

They haven't earned that commitment and until they put a full season or two together I'm gonna keep them at arm's length.
