"I hate that they're here." "I hate that they're here." Hey, if it makes you feel any better, everyone watching The Amazing Race hates that Jonathan and Ana are there. #TheAmazingRace

"Don't take an unnecessary penalty..." Fuck it, who cares. Goon it up, at least then we will know they care. #ALLCAPS

Getting real fucking tired of watching hockey games on mute. Although the way things are looking, that won't be a problem after this week :/ #ALLCAPS

Ok, last one.

Cardinal Robert Prevost is the new pope, the first American to be pope.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Argh! Sometimes I hate The Amazing Race. The two most annoying teams - one with an abusive asshat - somehow manage to continue to stay in while one of the best teams is eliminated.

This is batshit crazy.

Overtime! #ALLCAPS #RockTheRed ##nhlplayoffs

This is the first time I've ever been here early enough for warmups! #ALLCAPS #RockTheRed #NHLPlayoffs #stanleycup

Creepiest thing you could say to someone you follow online: "I follow you, like all over the place!" Sorry about that, @littlemisslizz.bsky.social

Managed to score tickets to tonight's Caps' game! First round against the Canes, this is going to be wild! #happydance #ALLCAPS

I can't believe how fast he did! That was incredible! #ALLCAPS

JFC, if that's a penalty, the refs should just put the puck right in the fucking net for the Habs. #ALLCAPS

It was bound to turn into a scrum with player justice. The refs haven't called shit against the Habs and Anderson is such a bitch he starts shit and runs away before getting caught--and he doesn't care do it when Wilson is on the ice. #ALLCAPS

New in PN: The made for TV sec def "Hegseth is essentially playing the role of sec def on TV for a president who wants a vapid figurehead rather than someone competent. His job is to serve as a square-jawed caricature of MAGA masculinity. By that measure, he's doing exactly what he was hired for."

You guys Elon Musk appointed the head of the IRS and President Trump didn’t even know about it.

Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez is a US Citizen. His mom showed up to court house with his birth certificate AND his ss card but he is still being detained.

It's worth noting that #WhitePotus sketch didn't include JD Vance - and there were definitely opportunities to work him in; it's almost like an unspoken commentary that he's so ineffective and inconsequential that he's not worth satirizing. #snl

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Honestly, I used to be confused by how much my generation sucks then I thought about who I went to high school with and it tracks.

This is high art

I love that Ovi was assisted by Wilson because it went from the @wshcapitals.bsky.social next captain to the current captain. Incredible to watch the #GR8 chase! #ALLCAPS #RockTheRed

If hosts/musical guests weren't announced weeks ago, I'd have thought it brilliant by @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social to follow up Morgan Wallen's BS w/a guest bringing huge energy (Jack Black) & a musical guest that can match his big personality, so of course it's Elton John. #snl #saturdaynightlive

Capitals star Alex Ovechkin has tied Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record with goal No. 894. Ovechkin scored the 894th goal of his NHL career in the third period Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks to draw even with Gretzky. It was his second goal of the night.

Tied! Record tied! #ALLCAPS

1 to tie, 2 to break! #ALLCAPS #Great8Chase #Great8

The Capitals' McClrath punched Viel so hard he knocked off his hairline! #ALLCAPS

Glad I woke up 15 earlier than usual. 22 minutes might not seem like a long time, but for the volume of travelers at this time in the morning (0600), people are going to be pissed their usual @wmata.com train (my usual train!) is late and the one they have to take will be standing room only.

What the fuck was that? #severance

Can Wilson drop the gloves with the Flyers' coach? #ALLCAPS
