@eleanorabernathy.bsky.social had a morning meeting close to the city and it's HAAAAAAAAAAAATE DAAAAAAAAAAAAY across town this evening, so we figured we'd make a day of it. And what's more romantic than basketball?

I feel like I'm generally able to understand at least the broad strokes of most sports after I watch them for a half-hour or so. Curling will never make sense.

The fun thing about nextdoor is every time I turn off one type of notification it invents five more that I have to dig through every setting possible to find and turn off.

Just WATCHING ski jumping makes me want to die.
There are two types of Olympics viewers:
1. With enough practice, I could totally do this
2. Just practicing this would kill me, I would die
I am absolutely in group 2

Somehow it makes perfect sense that TJ Maxx's target audience is "people who think figure skating outfits are classy."

"Don't die, you have to drive us home."

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

I love speedskating because it's by turns pure chaos and delightfully meditative, and the odds of gruesome injury are not zero. Perfect sport, 10/10, no notes.

I just went to show this skeet to @josephshabbadoo.bsky.social and realized he was looking at the exact same thing. Married Person Mind Meld™️ strikes again.
Nice try. There’s no such thing as central Jersey.
News from central Jersey: I'm running to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District.
By entering the fray, I hope to bring ideas of repairing our frayed republic. Not only to defend it in 2026, but to build something stronger, for generations to come!

Woman in my local Facebook group, apparently annoyed about the peace monks who passed through yesterday and today: Buddhism isn't a religion. Do your research.
I think 320 million adherents worldwide would disagree with you there, Hilda, but go off.

Finally got all the ice off my car today and I gotta say, it was deeply satisfying. Most of the roof came off in one piece.

I hate winter. I cleaned some ice off my car and watched it slide like 30 feet down the front yard. Just nothing but ice covering concrete snow. It might start melting on Monday.

Me: it's still very cold out but I can hear ice and snow melting. Also I see squirrels running around so that's nice.
News: EVERYTHING THAT MELTS IN THE SUN WILL REFREEZE OVERNIGHT.
Me: it'll never be spring again.

My home office has two doors. One goes to the kitchen and the other goes to the hall. The kitchen door is currently closed. The cats are BAFFLED and UPSET that the kitchen has disappeared. Can they get there through the living room? Yes. Does it matter? No.

Our street is a sheet of ice right now. Some of our dopier neighbors are doing donuts on their ATVs and it's going exactly the way you'd expect. The one person we've seen fall off so far seems to be okay.

This dystopia has gotten too fucking stupid. Just too stupid for words.
CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

We're supposed to get something like 6 inches of snow and 0.5-0.75 inches of ice this weekend. And temperatures won't go above freezing for at least a week afterwards. We're about as prepared as we can possibly be but next week is going to be cold and dark methinks.

We're supposed to get a foot of snow and 1/2" or more of ice, which could be catastrophic, but you know what we're not getting? FROST QUAKES AND EXPLODING TREES.
okay.

As a person who lived in New Jersey in the 1980s, I'm legally obligated to belt out "Livin' on a Prayer" every time I hear it at a sporting event. I don't make the rules.

Today was the 10th matchup/location anniversary of @eleanorabernathy.bsky.social and my first Hate Day. That game led us to start getting WBB season tickets. The actual date was Valentine's Day, and this Valentine's Day is another Hate Day (MBB at Robins).
