@jonkrawczynski.bsky.social The next FIBA WC for the women is in Japan starting 27 Nov - Dec 8 in 2030. I don't know if that's going to be a permanent date range but it won't shut down the WNBA. A select few college players could play since it's very early in their season.

@jonkrawczynski.bsky.social Bluesky question: I'm excited about this starting 5 and bench. I think it's the most complete team the Wolves have had. Who has more pressure to elevate this team next season, Finch or Ant? Is it Finch because he is the easiest change that could be made?

It would be funny if Kwik Trip started selling Bucc-Off apparel.

I just finished the book, The Gales of November by John Bacon. I've never read a better non fiction book. Everyone should read this, especially if you grew up in the Great Lakes region. This book will stay with me for some time. What a triumph.

Dallas hasn't scored a 5 vs 5 goal in 207 minutes and 53 seconds.

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

@jonkrawczynski.bsky.social Well done flying solo this week. Might have been your best podcast yet. I really liked your Gobert v Wolves analogy. I laughed out loud when you talked about how you aren't going to berate Finch in a press conference. All Wolves fans should listen to this episode.

@russohockey.bsky.social I'm upset you made me agree with Lapanta. A couple is 2. A few is 3.

There is something very comforting about listening to a Canadian accent give commentary on curling.

I'm really proud of this. I used to not be able to concentrate enough to be able to enjoy reading. Now I read every day. #BeatingPTSD

THIS JUST IN: Next 2 live Worst Seats in the House @TalkNorthPod's are at Splitrocks on Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. and Elsie's on Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. We hope to see you there!!! @MargoLaPanta, please put this on @AnthonyLaPanta's calendar and make sure he ARRIVES ON TIME!

@russohockey.bsky.social Next time Lapanta gives a 4 min playoff format answer. Can you ask him about home ice? It's not just matchups. Why should teams with worse records get an opportunity to have home ice advantage? The home ice advantage isn't talked about enough in this argument. IMO

Here is a story about me and my service dog, Peyton.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

This game has perspective
