See why do we have to have like bigots and Nazis and hating other people for stupid ass reasons when I just looked at my planet from the surface of another planet and I don't even have shoes on. I'm in Soft House Clothes and slippers looking at my planet on my phone.

What.
Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

Heated Rivalry is all sorts of wonderful but one of the best things for me at least has been the reminder that I do, in fact, really like hockey

87’s edge work is quite frankly absurd for his age. Everyone is so used to it that we don’t bring it up as often as we should.

TIL: Before Hans Asperger or Leo Kanner, a Jewish-Ukrainian psychiatrist named Grunya Sukhareva defined autism in 1925. Both men did not cite her work. She also had documented how it affected women and girls, where the men did not.

After watching #HeatedRivalry, sex scenes in other shows and movies look ridiculously bad. Like, first of all, the body angles are all wrong.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

They lured us in with the butts! Turns out, #HeatedRivalry is a tearjerker.
Me: sobbing gently on the couch, not for the first time this episode.

Bae, befuddled in the next room: are you crying? aren't you watching that smut show??

OTTAWA - Canada's economy, which has spent the year reeling due to American tariffs, is finishing the year strong thanks to the country's new chief export, the gay hockey-romance drama Heated Rivalry.

I am an avowed romance fan, but the women in this screenshot (and there are many people saying similar things on threads) are just honestly so fucking dumb. Please be fucking serious. Heated Rivalry is a TV show, not a *coming out manual for men playing pro sports.*
Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”

This is a very good thread

And while I do think the fact that a couple of big hockeybro *podcasts* have engaged earnestly & enthusiastically with the show is all sorts of interesting, it would be a mistake to conflate that with, like, an ~awakening within the NHL itself

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.

Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.
