Every time Mike Maniscalco admits on #CarolinaCulture air that he knows the name of the Wookies’ home planet I giggle.
What.
Kashyyyk. It’s not a sneeze. It’s Chewbacca’s home. First appeared in the Holiday Special in ’78. It was a planet in the SWGalaxies MMO.
Only a nerd like Mike would know.

Was reading an ’80s comic @graemeburk.bsky.social gave me and discovered this CBG fan award poll. I got to tell you this in person at Politics&Prose years ago, @idislikestephen.bsky.social: your parents’ custody of Comics Buyer’s Guide made my teens and 20s significantly happier.

Feeling every bit of this post. #CarolinaCulture
Oh, I've found community, for several different sports teams; but yes, I've also found frustration. And I don't mind it when it isn't constant. It's the ongoing nature of anger, at every single little thing, that made me realize I need to step back away for a bit.

Modern psychotherapists think that Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's five stages of grief aren't in fact linear but that we oscillate between them over time. In related news I'm somewhere between Depression and Acceptance given #CarolinaCulture woes. Lotsa blame to share but picking a scapegoat is fruitless.

‘Shoot the puck!’ — or, actually, don’t? NHL power plays booming by being selective and going low
Top PPs operate under a different principle than in the past: “We don’t need four low-danger chances. We need, literally, one high-danger."

Finally getting over an upper resp infection and am well enough to attend tonight’s #CarolinaCulture #GoAvsGo game.
I’m not into ancient medicine, but if I were still sick this game might count for ritual bloodletting. #LowExpectations

1) Regular welfare checks on Steve Dangle.
2) I think you can’t leave Freddie on the shelf too long if you’re not going to just waive him. When’s the right time?
3) Hoping for a good game from KK assuming he rotates in and is legit healthy. (Yes, playing time follows production.) #CarolinaCulture

This one hits different. It’s not just angry-beyond-the-Ayres-video—it’s a moment when you believe the team has lost both faith in itself and also hope. More than “red-faced man screams about hockey.”

Canes are hovering atop the Metro despite injuries, PP woes, Freddie's struggles...yet the timeline is a total panic. The freakout online isn't about being bad — it's about the terrifying feeling of ACTUAL EXPECTATION. How are y'all handling it?

Andersen still in net to start the third period.
Say what you will, but the game is probably out of reach and you need him to find something. Brind'Amour giving him the chance to battle through adversity.
Gonna be a sixth straight loss for Andersen if this score keeps up.
