Very happy to see this is still available at @talkingleavesbooks.bsky.social in Buffalo today. Grab a copy to get ready for the playoffs!

Speedway @ Elmwood/Lexington in Buffalo, NY

A 50 cent price increase at this location compared to last week seems a little excessive

At this rate, the Sunoco at Elmwood/Amherst is gonna be $5/gallon by Tuesday

Almost positive it’s related to MSG and their useless Gotham Sports app.

The World Baseball Classic, Team USA, and the war problem On conduct unbecoming.

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

Add this to your reading list. Well worth the time.

Updated with statement from Scottish Curling on their plans to announce team selections for the World Championships.

Schwaller ascends ranks as Tirinzoni's decision looms One thing that has become crystal clear is that Schwaller appears poised to ascend the ranks of women’s curling in Switzerland.

I doubt he even watched the game. Didn’t refer to any of them by name including “the goalie.” And they just ate it up.

Genuinely curious about which players from Canadian teams are smart enough to politely decline while saying something like "My team is in a playoff hunt and they need me, that's where all my focus is now" and which ones are... not that smart.

probably could’ve kept the stuffies in a box

“I could have handled it better”: Marc Kennedy, Canada forge ahead after double-touch curling drama Swiss curler Pablo Lachat-Couchepin appeared to mention a possible cheating violation to Swiss coach Glenn Howard.

Swedish men off to unfamiliar 0-2 start at Winter Olympics If this was Olympic hockey, Niklas Edin and Team Sweden would be down two goals early in the first period.

Sweden is 0-2 in men’s Olympic curling and they face Canada next. Can the defending champs flip the switch again? My story for @grandslamofcurling.bsky.social — www.thegrandslamofcurling.com/news/swedish...

Sweden takes down USA for mixed doubles curling Olympic gold at Milano Cortina 2026 On Friday evening in Cortina, the mixed doubles event of Milan Cortina 2026 was halfway done, and Sweden and the United States were going in opposite directions. They ended up meeting in an epic gold…

Isabella Wranå shot 97% on her way to gold in Cortina. An incredible game with top-tier shotmaking from someone making her Olympics debut.

MLB TV will remain $150 a season but look at this BS they’re trying to pull. You cannot “buy” MLB TV without buying ESPN Unlimited, but they give you a one month free trial, and then the hope is you forget to cancel since you don’t need ESPN to have MLB TV, only to initially purchase.

Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it? Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge? How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account? Who are those people? Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else? How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump? Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct? If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously? What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post? Has the staffer been disciplined in any way? Will the staffer continue to have access to his account? What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account? Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it? How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post? The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability? What does it say about the President's honesty? What does it say about the President's credibility? Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something widely seen as indefensible? What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it? Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

Canada snaps Italian winning streak in mixed doubles All good things must come to an end. Unfortunately for Italy’s Amos Mosaner and Stefania Constantini, it happened on home ice at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium.

Nothing has changed. My city street is an absolute mess. Only plows we’ve seen have been attached to SUVs that just clear down the middle. Had to dig out a stuck UPS truck earlier tonight.
