I knew they rushed Darnold back too early. Why do that?

Absolutely brutal chart for the Kraken (via @theathletic.com)
The NHL Contention Cycle 

Seattle Kraken

Present Outlook (Rating: 0.2)
The Kraken are the only team without a player represented in this year’s top 150 and not a single panelist noticed or cared. It’s looking bleak going into next season as Seattle just doesn’t have any relevant enough players to make its upcoming season competitive.

Future Outlook (Rating: 1.4)
Chase Reid was a huge win for the Kraken, who finally got their first stud D prospect this year. The challenge they face is that while their pool is deep, and Berkly Catton and Jake O'Brien are talented young players who've been top players in their age groups, both are not promised to be that in the NHL and neither now is Shane Wright. If Catton and O'Brien just become second-liners, and Wright doesn't take a step or is traded below his value, what will they have to show for these past six years? Promise is one thing, realizing it is something else.

Path to contention
Reid's going to be a stud. They need Catton and O'Brien to be too. The hard truth, though, is even if all of that happens and some of their other pieces become good support-type guys, the Kraken still need to commit to sitting in the basement and play the long game, which is what they should have done on Day 1.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a half-ending pick-6 on a short out-pass from within the offense’s own territory, but Washington State just did that (as the defensive team).

I actually find it very funny that Meta named their AI agent Muse, considering the past 15 years' output of the band Muse
Core Lyrical Themes

Government Oppression & Resistance: A constant through-line in tracks like "Uprising" and albums like The Resistance and Will of the People, focusing on fighting authoritarian control and corruption.

Apocalypse & The End of the World: Early and mid-era records—especially Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations—frequently touch upon global destruction, cosmic chaos, and survival. 

Technology & Dehumanization: Exploring the perils of artificial intelligence, drone warfare (Drones), and simulation theories (Simulation Theory). 

Paranoia & Conspiracies: Lyrical nods to hidden global elites, secretive operations, and dystopian control systems inspired by frontman Matt Bellamy’s fascination with alternative theories.

Cold take: Weezer has 2 good albums Heat death of the universe take: Weezer’s two good albums are Everything Will Be Alright In The End and OK Human Threads is a weird place.
“The year is 1994. Weezer has just released their self-titled album. It isn't good
The year is 2001. Weezer has just released their self-titled album. It isn't good
The year is 2008. Weezer has just released their self-titled album. It isn't very good
The year is 2016. Weezer has just released their self-titled album. It isn't good
The year is 2019. Weezer has just released their self-titled albums. They aren't good
The year is 2026. Weezer has just released their self-titled album. It isn't good”

*posts album covers of Everything Will Be Alright In The End (2014) and OK Human (2021)*

re: everyone yelling about Google Maps - Maps just ingests the official data source for each country, which is GNIS in this case, and most other online maps will follow for American users nobody at Google is making an active decision to go in and change names in Maps directly
