This feed is all curling and Arsenal because the mute feature is awesome.
This is pretty good from @arsenalfc.bsky.social

Field of Dreams is based on the book Shoeless Joe, written by Canadian W. P. Kinsella.

I'm sorry. 🥌 can and should be better.

My friend Steve made this logo for the Whitby Curling Club in Ontario.

I know I'm just an internet stranger, but you belong.

Morning pick up, then off to the 🥌 to seal the white paint.

I doubt that Apple or Goldman Sachs are on Bluesky, but I want to rant, so here I go.

Yesterday, I got an alert on my phone that I just bought something for $423 at Woot.

Then I got three more. The 4th one was declined.

Ice is going in. 🥌 is happening.

This means a lot of things, but also 🥌 season.

Are these insights trolling Man U

Still surreal to me that the place I learned curling is named after my mum.

Syracuse Gooners at halftime. At full time, singing loud and proud. #Arsenal

Man United might be good. That was a huge 3 points at a place we don't always do well.

Freeze into the pocket is the other shot. Those red rocks are your friends.

This isn't a bad shot, but it probably takes a 3 off the table.

Make a perfect freeze, and you will never get a point behind the corners.

A deuce is good, but make the hack weight hit and roll and 3 is on.

His first instinct is to get rid of the rock. Play a hack weight hit and roll.

(Hack weight is caring about where the shooter goes, and board weight is killing their rock.)

At this point in the end and game, it is not imperative that the shooter stays. But with 2 good corners, it would be great.

4th end, down 2 with hammer. Second's last. Your lead has placed two decent corner guards. The only dangerous rock for you right now is the biter. The other 🥌 are your friends.

You can use them later.

These are not Smarties.

They will never, ever, ever, be Smarties. It is embarrassing that people think these are Smarties.

These are called Rockets in Canada, and no one likes them.

Ah, right, you don't mean @teamhoman.bsky.social

I can't mute Homan, though. Curling season can't get here fast enough.

Plucky little PSG owned by a nation state and spending more money than ANY club, even the other nation state owners.
