If Flyers radio play-by-play announcer Tim Saunders survives the weekend, I'll be wondering how. What he said on a hot mic during the broadcast tonight sure sounds like a firing offense.

I've seen some dumb takes on the "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" trailer, but 'Holly Hunter's hair is too big' has to be a front-runner. If you think the show is not for you, OK. But wow if you're going to air reasons in public, have one that isn't some version of sexism or physical bias.

Second reaction: "This is an art piece intended for display. It is not a toy and is not suitable for anyone under the age of 14." That's quite a note to add to a sale of a game.

It's amazing how much grief I'm seeing Ersson get for that second goal, when Andrae took himself out of the play by hitting the ice and basically turned it into a 2 on 0.

After reading the new update from the Voyager "To The Journey" documentary team, I've downgraded my assumption to "they'll never get a physical release out". If they do, pleasant surprise for Future Me.
And honestly having seen it, I would tell Past Me to just skip it.

I don't know if the decision is as set in stone as the headline suggests, because the president of Iran is not the last word on things in their political spectrum.
But the circumstances are wild, and heartbreaking.

🚨NEW: Iran will move its capital due to an ecological catastrophe. Experts warn the move won’t help the nearly 10 million people living in Tehran, who will continue to face the impacts of corruption and climate change.

Even though I made the technology leap in cars from a 2002 to a 2018 model last year, I'm still getting used to all the changes. Like getting an offer to purchase an update to the built-in map/navigation system for $129.
Um no thanks, this is why I chose a car with Apple CarPlay.

It's hilarious to wake up for Monday and work and not be in the mood for any of it, but then when you auto-shuffle your music the very first song is Tori Amos' "I Don't Like Mondays".
Still not in the mood for adulting though.
