“In #running, unlike in team #sports, there are no substitutes for exhausted players. Nor are there machines to assist an aching body, as there are in #cycling, or pauses built into the game. A #runner must stay in constant motion, pushing her body to #run farther than the average person can fathom”
“The successful distance #runner is thus a paradox: a person blessed with godlike #endurance and a baffling insensitivity to pain, who nonetheless … is just like us” newrepublic.com/article/185452

The New Republic · The Paradox of the Distance RunnerRunners do something utterly natural but they do it in a way that strikes us as superhuman.

#QuestionOfTheDay follow up question, make up a fake group chat you absolutely would not want to be accidentally added into because of what you'd probably read/see/get tmi about.

(examples of what I mean by making up a fake group chat: "isekai busty elf group chat", "tsundere anime girl group chat", "Star Trek captains group chat", "fantasy villains group chat", "Roman emperors group chat", "famous scientists with the first name that start with D" group chat, etc, whatever you want, go nuts.

Toronto Blue Jays quietly hike prices on all their cheapest menu items
If you check out a Toronto Blue Jays game this season, there's a pretty good chance you also might be buying something to eat or drink at the same time.And while most of the vendors around the ballpark have a heavy markup on their products — particularly the alcoholic ones...

Women have been playing baseball in the U.S. for 150 years, with the first professional team, the Dolly Vardens, being formed in 1867. @TheConversationUS takes a look at how girls were gradually funnelled towards softball — seen as more suitable for the “weaker” female body — and why a new era in women’s baseball may be about to begin.

The ConversationWomen are reclaiming their place in baseballMany Americans see baseball as a sport for men and softball as a sport for women. It wasn’t always this way in the US – and it isn’t that way in the rest of the world.

Another useful viz for tonight's #nhl #hockey game between #Montreal #Canadiens and #Philadelphia #Flyers. It is my rolling #metrics #stats plot, but in comparison mode.

In this case, solid line for #MTL and dashed line for #PHI. Click on legend 2 interact. Each pair of lines are grouped, so clicking on oZS% will show/hide that metric for both MTL and PHI. Rolling mean window is for previous 5 games.

Powerplay percent and offensive zone starts percent, in a rolling mean over previous 5 games. Solid line is Montreal, dashed is Philadelphia. You can zoom in/out, scroll, move, click on legend groups (show/hide metrics)

I'll probably never understand what people like so much about #sports. Like… do you like to feel like shit? Or are your brains really producing the happy chemicals once you move so much sweat starts flowing (Hard to believe that)? I doubt it's some kind of masochism...

Like, seriously. I don't get it, the only thing I feel is the strain on the body which wants to stop, no more. If it's some "play" sports (with more play than sports) it only partially offsets that. But mostly it's just shit. 🫤

#gohabsgo will be on the road this week with 4 games between Tuesday and Sunday.

Special units will be key. Powerplay has to improve, and PK cannot give 2+ goals if they want to win.

Updated the PP per game chart, and instead of posting an image, I put the interactive chart online so you can play with it.

I love weird ranked lists, whether it's the BAFTA list of the "most iconic video game characters of all time" (bafta.org/media-centre/press-r) that had Sackboy 5 ahead of Pikachu and Pac-Man, and the guy from RDR2 and 2 characters from the just released Baldur's Gate 3 on it, or the IGN list (ign.com/articles/the-best-100-) that was heavily Nintendo at the top and had FF7 at 97 and it was clear that the people making the list didn't really play sports games or JRPGs because there were so few

So the #QuestionOfTheDay is what's a memorable weird/terrible top X list (from any topic) that you remember and want to share? What's weird/terrible about the choices?
