It’s really frustrating to watch media who don’t usually cover the game show up to the big games & ask questions that don’t address the hockey & just push a particular narrative that centers being a role model over being a pro athlete.
It should be illegal to win a men's national championship if you refuse to sponsor a women's team in the same sport
Looking at you Denver and Michigan
Excuse me but some of us are fools all year round.
i watch mostly softball these days and the thing that strikes me when i turn on Baseball With Stakes is how slow and terrifying everything is. softball's frenetic, fluid, it never stops moving. baseball is slowslowslowslowslowslowFASTFASTslowslowslowslowFAST, it's paced like a horror movie
NEW: Lawmakers advanced the all-time high Alaska Dept. of Corrections budget last week - questioning its cost drivers which DOC officials said is rising staffing + medical costs.
They also pointed to "policy changes" like harsher prison sentences enacted in 2020

a poster on a light blue background with a red pine grosbeak on a branch yelling "Hey! Do you like birds?" In a font suspiciously reminiscent of the Indiana Jones font, it then says "New for summer 2026! Field Ornithology, BIOL A490/A690" Further text says "Summer session II- June 25-Aug 1. Tuesday 9-10 AM. Thursday 9-12:30 AM. Questions? jfmclaughlin@alaska.edu". Further text bubbles in exciting comic book shapes say "Get summer Experiential Learning credit! Hands-on field experience! Don't be stuck inside all summer! All experience levels welcome!"
hey Anchorage folks: want to learn about birds? i'm teaching Field Ornithology this summer, and while the main audience is current UAA students, I would *love* to have general community members as well! contact me if you're interested and want registration info
it is a travesty that UAF has not partnered with homefield because I need a nanooks hoodie :(
by fairbanks standards, accurate
me to matt: "you talked about a dog show on the podcast?!"
matt: "what dog show?!"
only two letters away from....HAARP
heartbreaking. these kids deserve so much better.
I feel bad for everyone who says "I asked ChatGPT for advice" instead of just adding "reddit" to whatever what was their search term or topic
It's not just the guys.
It's really not prudent to not understand that women's hockey has MANY of the same problems
A lot of folks have joined the discourse this week w/out one iota of context or history & are putting the women's team up like a foil to the men's. They're going to be disappointed
In 1966, my grandfather, Ted Lindsay, boycotted his own Hockey Hall of Fame induction because women and families weren’t invited. I’ve been thinking about that story a lot lately. It reminds me that standing up for women isn’t dramatic. It isn’t radical. Sometimes it’s just a decision a very simple one. Men have always had the power to expand the table. Some choose to. The last photo is of me and him on Ted Lindsay, night at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. 🐙#7
From Threads: didn't know this about Ted Lindsay, but b this is badass. 🔥🏒👏
It was always going to happen this way. Those of us in the media space have been a) warning new fans that this was what men’s hockey culture was really like, & b) warning the NHL that they should maybe not alienate all the new fans they said they were excited to be receiving. And yet, here we are!
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.
I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
i’ve been twice now and it is a sheer DELIGHT
"Miss Alice Walton, of Nashville, who has been visiting Mrs. T F Whetstone returned home yesterday."
one of the weirdest parts of old newspapers: they had a whole section where you could just Tell People What You Were Up To
goalies, basically
the thing about the Olympics is that they combine one of the most corrupt organizations in the world and also pure joy.
fuckin grim
So great but also, ESPN has had 15 years to get this going. Keep in mind it owned the rights to WNBA, NCAA women’s sports and all four Grand Slams at the height of Serena’s dominance. People pitched these shows. The network didn’t just find out about women’s sports.
One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
Big sliding save by Aerin Frankel after a failed clear from the US
look, I love the USWNT — AND you’ll never get me to root against canadian women’s hockey
