I don’t want to brag, but we saw John Green at Unity Temple on the Plaza on Tuesday (Banned Books Week, no less!), and it basically made my entire year.

The first that I remember was Jodie at the window in the Amityville Horror. That being said… I’m a middle-aged man, and I still sometimes have nightmares about Tarman. There’s a part of my lizard brain that had a visceral reaction when this gif loaded.

You are kidding me, Chandler Stephenson...and with that the center moves into sole possession of 10th most points in #SeaKraken franchise history (also: goalie assist)

Rolled up to the park just after 5am, just in time for the violent lightning to start. The thought of grinding out 20 miles on a treadmill almost makes me want to take my chances with the lightning. #run #runsky

Lightning lighting up what would have been a pitch black scene of a park.

This is what I get for casually mentioning to Mrs. Rocket that I’ve only seen baby recluses around the house this season and no large adults.

A very not baby-sized brown recluse spider.

Pre-dawn runs are great for discipline, cooler temps, and getting it out of the way early… but there’s just something magical for me about the sun setting on a #run on a hot day. #runsky

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

He knows every reason why. The thing is: Rodney doesn’t actually care why. He just wants us to give him the opportunity to tell us why those policies aren’t a dealbreaker for him.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams completed the #BostonMarathon in 2007 in 4:23:46 from the International Space Station while orbiting the Earth at ~17,500 mph. First person to run a marathon in space. She qualified for Boston on Earth with a time of 3:29:57 in the Houston Marathon. #WomenInSTEM

An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.

A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.

AND they share their space with the Torrent, which is Hilary Knight’s PWHL team. And they’re crazy supportive. AND had no players on the U.S. Olympic team.

I’m a Kraken fan. I couldn’t tell you their personal politics, but I CAN tell you that their comment sections are routinely full of MAGA chuds complaining about the various inclusion nights they promote. Their AHL affiliate the CV Firebirds are amazing about Pride Night, and so is their mascot.

He didn’t do anything wrong. I’m speaking from the perspective of this weird alternate reality in which Marchand is the higher bar compared to what’s been developing.

Indicators that it’s hockey season: 1. I yell at the television. 2. Mrs. Rocket sends me a text from elsewhere in the house.

I’ve been enjoying the Strava sub preview, if only because it’s a break from the usual Garmin trash-talking. It wasn’t the rain that slowed me down… it was picking my way through the piles of toads and rat snakes on the waterlogged trail at 5:30am with only a headlamp. #runner #runsky #run

“Rainy morning long run pushed beyond typical distance, with a slightly slower pace reflecting the challenging wet conditions.
Your 10.4-mile morning run was a bit of a challenge, with rain and higher elevation compared to recent runs. You logged your longest run time this week at just over 2 hours, moving a bit slower than your 30-day average pace.
The wet conditions and hillier terrain likely contributed to the slightly reduced speed, but you still got out and put in the miles.”

Constantly creating problems for people and then saying you’re the only one that can solve those problems doesn’t mean you’re a problem solver. It means you’re a problem. This is about running. This is not about running.
