I know it’s gauche to complain about roads living in Pittsburgh, but it’s wild how you could ski down Baum right now, and the roads five miles north are completely clear.
Also, impressive that Baum was in the same condition coming home at 6:30 as it was when I left at 2.

It’s snowing outside. I have tea in my hand, a book in my lap, and Phoebe Bridgers on the turntable. I am content.

Ekitike has been so good you have to wonder what his season (and Liverpool’s) would look like without the Isak signing and the subsequent attempt to work him into the lineup before he was fit.

I’ve had enough extra time during this Riverhounds playoff run. Don’t need anymore. Let’s just go straight to penalties. 😫

While you're all here, if you want to read some actual journalism, this is the second story in my series about the collapse of the mental health care system in Pennsylvania. I'm really proud of it.
What happened to PA's promise of community mental health care
After a period of psychiatric hospital closures and investment in community support, Pennsylvania has shifted focus to the most restrictive care possible.

I was going to make a soccer tweet, but I see it will be lost in a sea of game 7 tweets. Either way, hope the Hounds can win these penalties.

No disrespect to the older USWNT midfielders, but at least on Thursday, they lacked the dynamism of these younger players. Love the early Moultrie brace!
