Did this announcer just say, “two sumptuous finishes?” #VANvsORL

Hofer is showing up big today! #stlblues

That was one of the most like, actual flight-fights, I’ve seen since I started watching hockey last January. Usually it’s just a lot of, almost, stand up wrestling. #stlblues

A picture worth 1000 words

Norwegian fans unfurl banners in support of Palestine as teams prepare to enter pitch for World Cup qualifier in Oslo. About 1,500 people joined pro-Palestinian march from city centre to the stadium earlier in the day.

Seriously, though.

The season felt like it cuts itself off at the knees to preserve plans for future stories in the DC cinematic universe (including future episodes of Peacemaker).

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 1d

If Peacemaker season 2 hadn’t been so anticlimactic, this would have been an excellent season finale. Sadly, it didn’t feel earned and feels kinda hollow.

As an #AllforCity fan this #stlblues game is looking awfully familiar.

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 1d

I want that lavender jersey, dangit! #stlblues

I hate sports betting. Not only for moral and ethical reasons, but because I don’t trust anyone who tells you to trust their statistical outcomes without giving you any insight into their metrics. I don’t trust data without transparency.

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 1d

This is a sad start, indeed. 🥲

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 1d

Well that sucks. #stlblues

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 1d

Huh. Cool! Thanks for the overview!

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 2d

Ah okay. So it’s not just a standard rotation through all the lines (like 12341234 or whatever), It’s more strategic?

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 2d

This post is a prime example of why you should always reread your stuff to make sure it’s not a grammatical nightmare, especially when you’re in the middle of cooking dinner. 😅

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 2d

That makes sense, but when they change out so frequently, why does it matter who’s on which line? I don’t mean like “cohesion” or whatever, but like I’ve been led to believe that it is a status thing, but I don’t really understand how.

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 2d

One of these days I’ll bother to look up what the purpose of having “lines” in hockey are and why they matter when these dudes change out so dang frequently. #stlblues

They praise the military for being predatory and exploitative . Like, “Can’t get a job because the job market is screwed thanks to capitalist billionaires? Join the military, where you’ll enforce American imperialism at home and abroad to protect the financial interests of those same billionaires.”

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 2d

I recently finished the Season 2 of Shrinking and I’m really disheartened by the military propaganda and blind support of the adoption industry - two of the most predatory and exploitative industries in the US.

Over the weekend I pulled together each club’s approximate total flight times per season.

Western Conference Avg: ~33 hours
Eastern Conference Avg: ~21 hours

Most: Vancouver (~40h43m)
Least: D.C. (~16h40m)

#AllforCity has the 5th longest seasonal flight time at ~35h24m.

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 6d

I would just hate for this to be how our unbeaten streak ends.

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 6d

Oof. This City 2 game is a little rough. Come on, boys! #AllforCity

You can't stop that 🫨 💫

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 6d

Unless something remarkable happens in the final episode of Peacemaker, it feels irresponsible for James Gunn to have opened this conversation about Earth X without taking the proper time to address it. Especially given the state of the world.

Brie @brieelizabeth.bsky.social · 6d

Has tots been taking throw-in lessons from Padelford? #AllforCity
