People should be free to pursue their happiness. Flyers, Eagles, Phils, Sixers, Victoire, and still pining for the Beauts. He/him but you'll call me what you will and I'll care accordingly

This is a great look into the mental side of goaltending. Worth a read

Jesse Granger@jessegranger.bsky.social

Devin Cooley’s interview went viral. He was giving a perfect lesson in mental performance. I spoke with top NHL goalies & a mental performance specialist, to explain Cooley’s wisdom further. This was a fun one to write, I hope you enjoy it ⤵️

Very cool look at the inner workings here

For a year, @sandonfl.bsky.social and I dove into what actually goes on in an NFL headset, and the vast networks that make every play possible - hidden in plain sight. Then, the best visuals team in the world made it tangible. A project unlike any you’ve seen: www.nytimes.com/athletic/int...

Great sight if your a Sens fan or just a hockey fan in general. Uncluttered and easily navigated, with excellent reporting.

@cominginhot.bsky.social has launched its own website this morning. Come check it out. Here's an exclusive interview I had with general manager Steve Staios on process, his tenure and moving the franchise forward: cominginhot.ca/articles/cih...

Has some extremely right-on opinions about huge wall clocks, and is making me laugh out loud on the train. Bravo @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social (PS If you want to write the fic mentioned in Richard's existential chapter, I'd read it...)

“Rollicking absurdity,” says Frances for the Compulsive Reader — an excellent resource for the bookish — in her glowing review of Curious Events Lately Occurring in this Neighbourhood by Tom Cox. “Captivating” indeed… compulsivereader.com/2026/09/26/a...

Very cool, and the laughter at the end is the pure sound of total joy

Barbara Waxer 🌈 @barbara-waxer.bsky.social

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

It's gonna be so funny when the Brewers are taking on the Rays or Guardians in the World Series and the next thing we hear is about how we need a salary cap for "competitive balance" and the owners canceling 2027

90 miles an hour? Hot dog that's fast man!

Flatwater Free Press@flatwaterfreep.bsky.social

Der Viener Schlinger, the world’s first handheld hot dog launcher, can now fire a 2.67-ounce Fairbury Tomboy at 90 mph from Tom Osborne Field over the 165-foot-high skyboxes. The machine has come a long way, in part thanks to 170 UNL engineering students. Read more 🔗 buff.ly/RUjRedg

You frightened wockaflockas really let them gut our country and make it their personal piggy bank? I hope shittin' on folks who were different from you was worth it.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Woah. Thank you for all the hard work that led to so many great memories for me, my friends, my family. Best of luck and enjoy a well earned retirement. #pavethelane

A good read about the roots of fandom and a chance encounter with a young star. RIP Lyle

Bruce@bpeter.bsky.social

RIP Lyle Odelein. I’ll never forget the time you were suddenly in my family’s kitchen when I was an 11 year old Habs fan. I wrote this in 2012 for @habseyesontheprize.com on how I became a Habs fan: www.habseyesontheprize.com/the-canadien...

An excellent thread with lots of great art and even more love

An interesting side-product of @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social sending US folks to Blackwells online for his books is that I've also discovered Blackwells online will ship overseas to me for even better prices than amazon in many cases (and they have lovely UK editions of things I can't otherwise get!)

Are you ready? I will type my thoughts at BlueSky here, and Global TV will have the Call Of The Wilde the morning after all 84 games. Let’s do this, Habs fans. We’re back.

Might I be so bold as to say, the roster that will be moving on to the next round? Let's go Aces, show 'em who you are!

Today's Active Roster ⬇️ Presented by Desert Radiology

Oh look, two 4th liners, giving each other cte, to justify their place on the team, nothing but listless play proceeding it. Probably no appreciable gain for either side after. But. THEY HIT EACH OTHER WOOOOO HOCKEY! Games changed, as it should, leave the 70s in the 70s

Replying to @caseyexplosion.bsky.social

Chainstaff asks the question, what if 70s and 80s prog rock album covers were playable levels? The levels even start as Vinyl LPs that fold out! It's immeasurably cool, the Roger Dean worship is off the chart. And the music is also unfathomably cool. Have I convinced you yet?
