Time for a little snooze until 10:00, when the next draw of Arena Curling Nationals is on YouTube.

An important part of Olympic viewing preparations.

Vallvidrera, near Barcelona, has a curling club. Each season, the members of the club go to the local reservoir and toss a stone in to see if the ice is strong enough to play. Since the water never freezes, they go for brunch instead and raise the toast, ‘We shall play one day’.

Team Dropkin on the ice right now in Nisku on Rock Channel.

First Arena Nationals draws start at 3pm PT (25 minutes from now) on YouTube.

Hope you got everything you needed to get done for the week.

My great grandparents from Sweden kept their last name.

But the ones from Denmark?
Came over as Jensen, but felt there were too many so they changed it to Johnson.

Thank you for saying this.

It's hard for me to trust news from an account that doesn't use alt text or dates in their memes. Rage bait helps no one.

This "yesterday" mentioned was months ago, even before news broke that there's an ICE detention camp going in 45 minutes from Curtis.

I generally have a "support, but don't get involved" approach to family drama. It's served me well thus far.

However, the last 24 hours have been testing that theory.

I had a friend in college I called "Grandma" and she would say "Be smart. And if you can't be smart, be safe."

Also my feelings when I saw this ad.

Tintin and the Somerville Polyculeans @jamtoday.bsky.social · 3d

Just saw an ad for the Gemini "AI" plug-in for some phone, and the conceit is that everyone who doesn't have a phone with that feature has a vanilla soft serve ice cream and not a phone and my friends all it did was convince me that we'd all be better off with ice cream cones instead of phones.

None of our mutuals have noticed or expressed anything to be wary of. It seems to be just me.

I *want* to see them as everyone else does, but I can't.

And I can't explain why, either, other than I'm surprised that dogs like them.

This has happened a few times, with both men and women.

I hate when I meet someone and something about them feels *off* just a little bit. Nothing obvious.

And I can usually shake it off and move on.

Until years later, they reappear in my life and my feeling is still there, but with even less of a solid explanation.

What? No!

I have a core memory of her belting out "You Don't Own Me" in The First Wive's Club.

My roommate put up blackout curtains in my room before I moved in. I should change them out since it is still dark in here at 9:30, and that is not good for all of the crap I ought to be doing today.

seashmore @seashmore.bsky.social · 4d

Thanks for that.

I intentionally played 2nd tonight so the person on my team who needs to see this saw it.

Also, as you're clearing the house: odds on the inside, evens on the outside.

Found out last night that my roommate's puppy is essentially the result of a doggy one night stand.

The owners of puppy's mom and dad are siblings in two different states. They each brought their unfixed dogs to a family gathering over a weekend and didn't watch them closely enough.

Side note, that's an incredible museum. (I went in April.)

That's gonna be a rough start.

When I did something similar a few years ago, I discovered there's a muscle in my shoulder that I use to close the lid on my contact solution. And, yes, I stretched before.
