Since I've gotten some followers that migrated with me from X or found me here, here are some things you can expect on this feed:

-Buffalo Sabres discourse
-Buffalo Bills shitposting
-left-leaning diatribes
-pro-cycling / transit propaganda
-hot music takes
-urbanism musings
-climate consciousness
*whispers* It's easiest for AI to have success in a genre where all the popular artists are already writing about generic subjects like trucks, beer, and good women that can easily be spit out of an LLM.

Most woke? We should ban SUVs and large trucks in urban areas, as they are incompatible with urban life and pose severe dangers to cyclists and pedestrians.

You want to "Make America Healthy Again?" Get those asses walking or pedaling, babes.

Ah yes this is the Sabres I remember: needing to score at least 5 goals to overcome the 4+ that UPL lets in every night.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

You'd be critical too if you watched Terry Pegula and co. flail around for the last 15 years and weren't compensated millions to be a part of it.

Spotify must love the rise of AI created music. No more pesky human artists to demand higher royalties, just more slop that can be thrown into a curated playlist and forgotten about.

*ahem* Buffalo, NY
This is a small snow plow for sidewalks

If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

James Bond has literally been like 8 different dudes over some 60 years, which caused no confusion for audiences, and you're telling me the big roadblock is that he died in one of the movies?
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

i am generally an autumn/winter enjoyer (at least until football season ends) but the first week or two after the end of daylight saving time is so unbelievably savage

If I'm Kevyn Adams, I call this season a wash and start working the phones for an Alex Tuch trade immediately.

But if I'm Terry Pegula, I start my next GM search immediately and let the next GM make that trade.

There's bad luck, and then there's whatever you call is happening with the Sabres this season.

Jesus Christ.
Lindy Ruff said Jiri Kulich will miss a significant amount of time because he’s dealing with a blood clot. As to whether he can return this season, Ruff wants to say yes but it depends on how things go the next three or four weeks.

Every now and then a tiny, wiry little hair from my beard or moustache gets logged in my gums and it's the worst thing in the world to try and remove.

Waking up Monday morning, to go back to work, seeing failing democrats and evil republicans; without a single sports win from my teams over the weekend to cushion the blow has me sitting of the edge of the bed this morning like this:

I'm pissed at the Dems, but simultaneously I think there was never any real leverage to be had when one party is gleefully happy to destroy the gov't.

There were never enough votes for the ACA subsidies and there won't be even if the Republicans actually agree to hold a vote.

Nobody had a plan.

The list of things being sacrificed for shareholder profit is endless.

It’s literally everything that makes life worth living.

And, of course, it’s life itself.

I'm sorry, I still think it would be tremendously funny if the Bills championship window came slamming shut just as they started playing in a new stadium with the Pegs having squeezed every last dollar out of the fans.

That would really be peak Buffalo sports.

Don't take out a loan for these bums!

Bills fans a week ago: Hey look the Chiefs are In The Hunt!

The good news is you can still shut off the Bills game and go outside to enjoy the two hours of daylight left

This is why I can't be a Bills fan, man. Paper tiger franchise.

The Bandits are the only pro team in Buffalo sports.
