I just watched Colbert's monologue on this and it was great. Need to head over to the YT channel to watch the interview.
"Well sir, you're chairman of the FCC, so F-C-C you," Colbert said on TV. "Cause I think you are motivated by partisan purposes yourself." bit.ly/4rwKYSX

I'm more excited about this than I should be, but this is the longest we've had to go without watching our Astros play in almost a decade.
Speaking of, do we know the broadcast schedule for spring training?

One could argue he'd be with Boston if Boston wanted him there. He wanted the no-trade clause. One team offered it, the other didn't.
Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy said Alex Bregman would be with Boston if he wanted to be.
Bregman signed a five-year, $175 million deal with the Cubs in January, a similar deal to the one Boston offered.

I love this. Would love to see Cavan in our uni, even if it's just for one game. But I also know this doesn't mean that it will happen.

Just finished reading/listening to this. I had started out reading it, but decided to listen on Spotify while I was cleaning the other day. Was pleasantly surprised to find it was narrated by Meryl Streep and I just couldn't stop listening. Really loved this book!! #RootRootRead

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Well Canada hasn't won a Stanley Cup in a while so this should go over just fine.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Breaks my heart. This poor child, and hundreds (thousands? 10s of thousands?) others, have been traumatized by our government. It isn't supposed to be like this.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.
