everyone should read this piece Clinton wrote about Everett Fitzhugh and the Kraken. Especially if you're a Kraken fan and want to feel good about the team and the choices they've made about their future as an organization.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

did I just hear this polish man figure skating to Snap's "I Got The Power"??

elle no longer has to worry about keeping it cute for disney and is letting the choppa sing!

What a week it was, kiddos.

Pouring one out for WaPo sports, which directly gave us Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, and one of the baddest to ever do sports reporting, @clintonyates.bsky.social

every big NBA trade is like "we sent Washington every player we have and got ten dollars"
