📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."
"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."
the most fun i’ve had watching pro sports in a long time, and i never thought i’d become a hockey fan. i love this team and i can’t wait for next season! #tusksup
reasons why hockey is a uniquely great sport
(from the perspective of someone is discovering the game and went to 3 mammoth games this year and watched 2/3 mammoth playoff games on TV. The only 5 hockey games I've watched in my life)
- the hockey sub
- 100% all out effort (thanks to hockey sub)
- rink construction is brilliant: constant action, no out of bounds, checking against boards is incredible, the space behind the goal adds so much strategy
- chance of a fight is such an incredible aspect
- insane athleticism (skating + sticks/puck handling is mesmerizing)
- real tough guy culture, not fake tough guy culture + flopping in NBA
- power plays
Things I don't like about it:
- a bit hard to track the puck (not that bad imo)
“You have three older brothers that now look up to you. You will always be our champion.”
As Haley Winn gets ready for @TeamUSA’s gold medal game against Canada, her brothers, Casey, Ryan and Tommy, leave their sister an encouraging and heartwarming voicemail. ❤️

To be clear: an insurrectionist using a Confederate flag pole to attack police guarding the US Capitol is dubbed a “patriot” and can receive a presidential pardon while US citizens in Minnesota exercising their 1st amendment rights to protest and assemble get executed.
Okay so,
1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution
2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents
3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen
4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement
You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.
People will really call themselves “pro-life” and then twist themselves into knots trying to justify the point-blank execution of a 37-year old American mother, which left her young child orphaned.
.@JamesTalarico: The only minority destroying America is the billionaires.
Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare.
Muslims aren't defunding our schools.
Immigrants aren't cutting taxes for themselves and their rich friends.
We are focused on the wrong 1%.
I wrote something about @realsaltlake and their public apology to someone who violently threatened members of the RSL community. https://t.co/eiDhAyZYcJ
The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
My observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence & calling for calm while MAGA are escalating rhetoric & lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
