So, to get more used to bluesky, I’ll use this thread to talk some wine.

I’ve been studying the craft and starting to appreciate it, winemaking really has some magic to it, a great mix of science, culture, art and luck.
This is the reason I'm strongly thinking that my eventual children will have to take my partner's family name, rather thna mine.
It *literally* does.

Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

The impact Tom WIlson has on the sport of hockey is incredible and probably unprecedented.

I am ready at the drop of a hat to present to any league's competition committee exactly how gold drafting works, what it improves and what it weakens, how it would have to implemented for a specific sport, with simulations, gorgeous viz, the works. I am dead set.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on tanking: "It's so clear that the incentives are misaligned."

Silver said the believes tanking is worse than we've seen before and said that's what led to the recent fines as an effort to put all teams on notice. Silver emphasized again the league is focused on fixes.

There is so much JT Miller Stink on this team… they’ve been able to overcome because, frankly it was Latvia and Denmark, but there’s gonna be a game where you’re gonna need a goal and the brain trust brought giant crybaby Miller over dudes who put the puck in the net.

Just typical USA Hockey shit
Every Canadian player basically writes a love poem about their linemates whenever a reporter asks what it's like to play together. The U.S. team just looks unhappy and also like it only has a glancing interest in avoiding rushes the other way

Let’s not forget about 2019:
- messed up GI call
- Kempny’s hamstring blowing up
- TJ Oshie being destroyed

If none of those things happen, there’s a run to be made.
The Caps are extremely similar - winning a ring after years of being competitive where they probably should have - but also getting extremely lucky several times late in their core's window.

When the things that used to happen to you start to happen for you, that's when the magic happens

And then I found out what Leonsis was involved in and I’m sickened to my core, though I’m seeing quite a muted fanbase on other socials.
The Epstein files have been upsetting in so many ways and the sad part is that the people who should read them and act accordingly will not so either of those things.

Post-truth sucks so much.

If the Caps are going to pay premium assets for Panarin, the trade has to happen very soon.

There would be no point in getting him if we couldn’t use the Olympic break to fit him in and ended up so down the standings that we couldn’t climb up.

The Caps have dug themselves into a pretty big hole. Injuries are clearly the main cause and there’s just nothing we can do about it. Burning assets on rentals in a sellers’ market feels pretty short sighted.

The whole “Ovi’s last dance thing” doesn’t holdup since Ovi isn’t really performing.

Some defense.

The American people are being treated like trash - and they voted for it.
NN: There's a report your husband bought stock in Musk's xAI days before news surfaced the Pentagon is expanding xAI's role in military systems. Can you assure us this wasn't based on inside info?

McCLAIN: If it was, we wouldn't have bought 100,000 shares. We would've bought a heck of a lot more

Tomorrow is Residency thesis defense day, this last year year has been such a massive rollercoaster that I haven't had the ability to even tray and put together a study. SO I've resorted for a literature search on Cerebral Venous SInus Thrombosis, which has been pretty fun and much more pratictal.

McMike doing well with Sourdif and Leonard just proves even more that he is a complementary player and should be paid accordingly.

He is playing the same role he was last season with PLD and Wilson, leeching on their pick recoveries and management. I recognize that it is useful, not irreplaceable.
I think I am done with the Connor McMichael experience.

Not bad for the Blues

He really is the second coming of TJ Oshie.
Ryan Leonard is a wizard 🧙👀🔥 #NHL #ALLCAPS

Is Ryan Leonard the Caps' best offensive player?
If there was doubt until a while ago, I think it's evolved into certainty.

Is anyone stopping him?
The President is relying on the same legal theory for attacking Venezuela as he is for deploying US troops in American cities.

Let that sink in.

If PLD isn’t back until after the deadline, Protas is not 100% (as he’s been all season) and Wilson will have to save himself for Milano (understandable), just call it a season and do the 2024 thing
Trade Duhaime, TvR and maybe Dowd
Bring up Ilya, Miroshnichenko, maybe Cristall and see where it goes

I don't know if I love the work Derek King is doing in Hershey, the team has been on a serious skid and the kids are not performing that well anymore after a really prolific stretch.

Pierre-Luc Dubois has resumed skating, Spencer Carbery said. Starting the progression back from the surgery he had in early November. His recovery timeline at the time was 3-4 months

Tom Wilson is about to own the entire USA.

Do the United States have an answer to Tom Wilson?
Can the Tkachuk brothers provide enough physicality for Team USA to offset Tom Wilson in a possible Olympic showdown?
