Always fun to write for @gambitweekly.bsky.social. Especially as a Pelicans Grump. I’m particularly proud of the line, “If you’re looking for rings and a parade, try cleaning out the ones in your toilet with throws from Tucks.”

Cavan Sullivan's nose for the assist isn't talked about enough. His final passes are as deadly as his goal scoring.

NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

Just bought a hand belt sander and a palm router for $40 total. The router owner was all like “I don’t even know what it’s used for. The bit was on upside down.

Why didn’t anyone tell me that epoxying a 12’x35”x1.5” table with packing tape wasn’t going to be easy? (Note: I had more support underneath it than sawhorses initially—it just was leaking everywhere.)

It also undermines the fact that the republicans absolutely dominated Dems on their internet campaign, targeting incels.

Man, people need to understand this about Andor: it was not a moneymaker for Disney, but it helped them rope in an audience that would likely be lost at this point. Gotta have them loss leaders.

That’s amazing! Glad you ultimately got to experience it. I remember—during the totality—hearing someone say “oh my god oh my god” over and over out loud and thinking “shut up, dude,” only to realize it was me.
