Thing I didn't know: Sajak took over as DJ on the same Armed Forces Network show hosted by Adrian Croneaur, the "Good Morning, Vietnam" guy.

You guys gotta go to Saddam Hussein’s new Cheesecake Factory.

I feel dumber for having read this
Analytics are subjective and this imperfect. It's the same as "old school" scouting. One person's expected goals is not the same as someone else's. The science is in the flesh and blood details. The science is an also art. It's imperfect but it can help you get close to math. I love math--it's spiritual. But, we will never reach math--because math is perfect. Plus/minus IS perfect but it's not art. Same as shots on goal. Noah Kahan's song "Downfall" is perfect art---according to my analytics.

Rangers vs. Senators: Road Weary
Alexis Lafrenière is playing the best hockey of his career, Pavel Dorofeyev finally scored, and help in goal may be on the way from Hartford.

No. It needed—like its superior British processor—a final chapter that was Frank’s downfall. Ending it at this point after season two would have been absurd.

I have an extremely hard time believing that there is a serious pollster, political scientist, or campaign consultant who would even suggest describing the actual GOP electorate this way. Last time I looked at polling most evangelical Christians didn't even know what Christian Nationalism was. This is a Very Online, very siloed way of talking about politics. The idea that Vance can unite the people Sohrab meets at conferences is at least plausible. The idea that the "New GOP" he describes resembles the broader, ground-level, GOP coalition and electorate is close to preposterous.
There are five factions in the new GOP:
- Restorationists
- Tech Accelerationists
- Populists
- Christian Nationalists
- Common Gooders
@JDVance is the only figure who can bridge all of them around one shared cause: reversing mass migration.

I, a guy who has a podcast about the Rangers and who writes about the Rangers regularly, has committed the unforgivable crime of commenting on the Rangers
I will do the work and try to be better, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time
So @NYRChip23 and I set out to do a New York Yankees postmortem podcast. And we did do that. But then Connor Hellebuyck got traded to the Devils, and we gave some thoughts on that, too.

JT Miller be out there putting the STINK in instinctual
Sullivan talked this morning about wanting the #NYR power play to be more instinctual. Both the top two units did small-ice drills yesterday to try and help bring that out.
