Failing to harness the true power of “X” since 2023. Find me up in the big bluesky.

[Ice Cold Takes Podcast @IceColdTakesPod]

Time for an Ice Cold Take. Kaapo Kakko is getting the first #NYR goal tonight. As I mentioned on my podcast with @ColinSNewsday on Wednesday, Artemi Panarin is getting the game and series winner. I'm calling it

@RPickz34 @Teddy_20 Like LeBron in his early years…you can only go so far with the talent around you.

@goldbelly Ordered some bagels on the 19th for delivery on the 21st. UPS says it was shipped but the trail went cold days ago. Was intended to be a Xmas gift but here we are. Sent an email to support on the 23rd but no response since. Bummed out. Order #21247525

We are saddened by the news of Norm Macdonald. He was a hilarious man and an absolute legend. Thankful to have been the inspiration behind one of the “Best Weekend Update Jokes of All Time,” according to the internet. Rest In Peace Norm, and may your jokes live on forever.

[Conan O'Brien @ConanOBrien]

I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald. Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny. I will never laugh that hard again. I'm so sad for all of us today.

@instagram The facebook-ification of Instagram continues unabated. Just dreadful.

If Trump drives Dr. Fauci out, Dr. Fauci should be doing televised briefings every day describing exactly what is going on. He owes nothing to Trump. He has a duty to America

[Mitt Romney @MittRomney]

Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.

Not even SNL could not write something as ridiculous as this actual, real news report from my local station

Chloe Fineman singlehandedly keeping this ship afloat #snl #SNLAtHome

@realblackjesus @lil_bathtub How are you so sure that’s false? Your assumptions are as good as mine. What I do know is based on the data available, researchers, scientists, epidemiologists all agree that a lockdown is the right course of action. The president came around. We need to trust the experts.

[Mike @discoscience]

@realblackjesus @milanthotdottir @SenpaiLuvsSauce @lil_bathtub The ones that started killing us have done so only since 2002. We haven’t dealt with these at all. We stopped developing a vaccine when the threat had passed. This is the hardest lesson we’re learning now.

[Mike @discoscience]

@realblackjesus @lil_bathtub The entire globe is on lockdown. You think anyone wants this? At this cost? This is the protocol for dealing with a global pandemic after community spread. Few tools are left. It’s now a matter of self preservation. If healthcare systems crumble we are all up the creek.

[Mike @discoscience]

@realblackjesus @milanthotdottir @SenpaiLuvsSauce @lil_bathtub For the nth time this is not the fucking flu. We can treat the flu. It’s a killer we know. This virus is still spreading/mutating. If we don’t make any attempt to stop it now, it could force us into a shutdown every. single. year. until we find something effective against it.

[Mike @discoscience]

@realblackjesus @lil_bathtub Not that it would help anyway. Out of sight and out of mind until the emergency comes. As Churchill said. Nothing new to the story. Part of a dismal catalogue of the fruitlessness of experience and the confirmed unteachability of mankind - the endless repetition of history.
