If Arsenal win their next two games (v Brentford & Wolves) they will be 33 points clear of Spurs.
The next match would then be the north London derby and a win for Arsenal would see the early celebration of St Totteringham's Day who would be 36 behind with just 11 games to play.

Sowwy, the rules say you can't hurt my feewings!
House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:
"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

this sport truly gets more fascinating the further you dig into it
Had a blast speaking to curler and geologist Derek Leung about the geology of curling rocks. 🥌 🧪
Why curling rocks come from just two spots on Earth
The rocks used in the Olympic sport of curling come from one island in Scotland and one quarry in Wales. What makes them so special?

Now from a Pats fan perspective... what a fun year! Even with the SB loss, that was pretty awesome. Way ahead of schedule. I feel good about this team for years with Drake Maye, even though he'll need to be better against good defenses. I have faith in him and in the young OL getting better.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is so good, and this latest episode is magnificent.
It’s so much better than House of the Dragon, but I disagree with those pointing to the HotD showrunner drama or (lack of) fidelity to the source material as the reason for the differences.

I worked on the Chris Dodd re-elect in 2010 and shared office space with the folks doing opposition research on her…just awful awful stuff
It's largely been lost in the chaos of the last month, but Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is trying to doxx the John Does who sued her for (allegedly) allowing them to be raped by grown men when they were kids and (allegedly) covering it up
