Have to give the NHL and it's players props, that tournament was nuts. The injuries attest to the intensity and are a really unfortunate outcome for some guys, especially McAvoy. Sounds like his is serious.

Man, I love hockey. Two teams of guys with millions in contracts just launching at each other without abandon.

Amongst all of this uncertainty and chaos, one thing we can rely on are players reporting to spring training. Go Cubs!

I've thought about something a lot lately, and maybe some of you all have too - whether or not to post something critical of what's happening right now. I don't like having to think about it, or even be remotely concerned about it. Not at all.

Went last year with the fam and recommend for any baseball fans. Great way to see prospects, get player access and relax in the AZ sun. Before it gets to melting face levels.

As a jazz fan, Herbie Hancock is an absolute living legend. Good to see him with Stevie.

Bought my kiddo tickets to see Chappell in June in Kalamazoo. In Kalamazoo! In a small theater! Weeks later she plays to the largest crowd ever at Lolla and now killing it at the Grammys. So cool to see.

On a lighter note, apparently the NOAA keeps tabs on the accuracy of groundhog predictions. Phil, the one who gets all the attention, is second worst. Staten Island Chuck, is tops and disagreed with Phil this year. I'm going with Chuck and his 85% accuracy rate.
Staten Island Chuck has most accurate groundhog weather predictions, NOAA says
Punxsutawney Phil may be the best-known weather-predicting groundhog, but a new list is throwing shade on how much his predictions should be trusted — while New York City’s rodent prognosticator is to...

The fam and I have a ritual of watching each best picture (and animation) nominee - particularly excited to see The Substance in here. Up next though are The Brutalist and Anora.

Definitely need to save posts. I use that feature a lot on IG and it'd help the migration. Simple folder structure would be awesome.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

My kid and I have a daily ritual sharing Instagram and Tiktok posts. Usually funny, sometimes heartfelt or informative. Anyone have accounts or packs here they'd recommend? Would love to move this ritual from IG.
