Why are they yelling "Refs, you suck" when they're calling a penalty on the other team?

Just had a surprise gall bladder removal this morning (as in before 9 PM last night it wasn't even a consideration, never mind a thing that had to happen right now).

To introduce the season opener between Chicago and Vegas, the ref just said, "As we say in hockey, let's do that hockey." I am so amused that a catchphrase meant to demonstrate a lack of awareness of the sport has been embraced by that sport.

No, he didn't, because *the orange guy can't unilaterally change terminology*. C'mon, @pfrazee.com - this kind of summary ends up endorsing rather than summarizing.

I couldn't sleep last night because of something that happened on the other side of the continent almost 20 years ago. I am haunted and feel cursed...and I cannot free myself from this curse, no matter how hard I try.

That assist by Stenberg was seriously impressive. It's not a long pass, but the amount of hockey awareness it takes to not try to fight that puck through yourself but instead take the easy aside tap is considerable, especially for a younger player.

I'm amused how much Stenberg and Wennberg have played together. Dan Rusanowsky's already had trouble verbally confusing the two. Do the Sharks need to trade for Otto Stenberg to complete the set?

I'm always afraid to mention Rey whenever one of the AI-denialists asserts something that they have already demonstrated a capability for, so I am glad to see Rey do it themselves.

This is interesting. You get assigned to being born at a random place and time in history, to see what a typical person's life might have been like then. Unfortunately I was born in 1403 in the valley of Mexico and died at age 4 from dysentery.

Samus Aran is one of my favorite game protagonists. Between this and my love of women's hockey, you may have noticed that I have a type, and that type is "tough as nails".

Hey, all you labor rights folks - Babylon 5 has an episode for you today! We're still very much in the point in the series where episodes had relatively self-contained stories and you didn't need a ton of universe knowledge to enjoy it, so I recommend this for everyone. youtu.be/qcZyyPKr-nM

Have I mentioned I'm a huge Babylon 5 fan? The series is being posted (legally) on YouTube now, and the episode posted today, "The Parliament of Dreams", is an excellent starting point for the show and I truly encourage evertyone to watch it. youtu.be/1BxsXvhNZHw

In case you're curious, @pwhl-sanjose.bsky.social, I still think that "Selkies" would be the best name for the team. (and I really don't like "Hammerheads" - too political)

I walked on UC Berkeley's campus for the first time ever today. As I did, I felt a ghost of a missed life course through me. Brandeis was a bad fit for me, and I wonder if I had gone someplace where I could have found my people, I would have thrived and not developed the hangups I have.

I napped this evening (collapsed out of exhaustion, really - my cat's doing poorly) and dreamt I was in a fun little tavern. Went outside to where there was a small fire where others were gathered, and I got the sense that I knew them and was appreciated by them. Why couldn't that be my reality?

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

One of those latecomers was a 46-year-old documentary filmmaker named Chad Knutson. On the morning after Good was killed, he was at home with his two hound dogs, watching a live feed from the Whipple Building, where ICE is based, a five-minute drive from his house. A protester had laid a rose on a makeshift memorial to Good. As Knutson watched, an ICE agent took the rose, put it in his lapel, and then mockingly gave it to a female ICE agent. They both laughed.

Knutson told me he had never been a protester. It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt. But when he saw those ICE agents laughing, something broke inside him.

“I grab my keys, I grab a coat, and drive over,” Knutson told me. “I barely park my car and I’m running out screaming and crying, ‘You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?

Last night of FC was better. The ballroom panel was quite lovely (though I am still bitter that con policies essentially prevented me from fursuiting for it) and I played a nice game of Red Dragon Inn in the gaming room.
