Arizona Coyotes players told team is moving to Utah (www.sportsnet.ca)
 

I feel bad for the fans in Arizona, but I think it's time. I also think the NHL will be back at some point. They'll give it another go like in Atlanta, and who knows, maybe they'll be more successful.

Fanatics LEAK Reveals NHL Retail Jersey Plans (youtu.be)
 

Not sure how important this is to most people, but I'm a bit of a jersey nerd and this has a lot of important information regarding the upcoming switch to Fanatics as the official NHL uniform designer.

Retail pricing, a new Pro version that offers a true on-ice feel and more besides. Definitely worth a watch if you're looking at picking up a jersey in the next year or two.

Everton deducted two points for second breach of Premier League financial rules - BBC Sport (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Second time this season no? And with my Leicester side, and Forest also catching heat it looks like the Premier League is taking this stuff very seriously.

I mean it was called Brainiac and it did have John Tickle walking on top of a pool of custard. Are you suggesting I was wrong to use that as my foundation for all knowledge??

You're right. But in the interest of no stupid questions I thought I'd ask anyway, because...you know, what if?.

And thanks for the grammar lesson, I didn't ask for that one but I'll take it on board.

Thank you.

I think I saw a show 20 or so years ago that tried to debunk this and obviously either they messed up, or I wasn't paying attention.

(The show was called Brainiac).

Turned 2 a few weeks back. I think we're entering, or have just entered the terrible twos. Fun fun fun.

I wish I could get into this, but it's just not for me. Seems super cool and everyone seems to be so enamored with it...but I just couldn't get it to stick.

I'm thinking that no, it doesn't. Which begs the question of why we do it? Is it a psychological thing?

Disney+ UK for certain. I'm not sure how it works out across other regions but I saw a Tiktok that said it was available worldwide.

Son broke my favourite mug. And he then threw my phone at my wrist, which hit my watch and scratched the phone screen. Yeah, its been a fun one.

I've stopped looking at my notifications on Reddit, it's just too anxiety inducing for me. Thankfully I've not had that same problem here, although I'm sure it'll happen eventually.

Hope you feel better.

Don't worry. If she's anything like her Father she'll be more interested in Eugene Debs than Donald Trump.

How do we feel about the opening titles? (feddit.uk)
 

Lots of talk across season one about the opening credits. How do we feel about them?

Personally, I'm a big fan of them using the iconic music, and I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot barge pole.

The actual visuals? Utterly perplexing to me, and I say that as someone who's familiar with the source material. I understand what they were going for but I think everything is a bit hard to parse.

I'm probably alone in this one but If I was going to do a rewatch I think I might jump in during episode five or something. That's not to say there's not some good stuff in the early episodes, but I feel like there's also a lot of set up that I'm not sure I'd like to sit through again.

She used to. We've put a stop to YouTube though because she turns into a little demon after watching it.

I'm already half way there being a big NHL fan.

And so it begins. (feddit.uk)
 

It's been a fun four years since I last had to have these around the house....but alas it's time to bring the potty out once more.

Hopefully he takes to it as well as his sister. I am not confident.

Handy guide for today's eclipse. (feddit.uk)
 

Although not very handy for me because I live in the midlands. I didn't want to see it anyway. Nope. Looks like another evening of sitting on social media and regretting my life choices. Sigh.

For example, switching out the word 'boot' for 'trunk', or ditching the word 'rubbish' for 'garbage'.

This is something I've noticed my 6 year old does pretty regularly. We went through a stage where 'sweets' became 'candy', 'holiday' became 'vacation' and 'courgette' became 'zucchini'.

That last one didn't happen but if you're still reading you've got my respect, or as the Americans might say '...mad props'.

This is something I've always struggled with and I think it's put my daughter in a spot where she's very reluctant to do anything by herself.

Don't get me wrong, she plays well with others and her younger brother, but when he's not available she basically just wants to play with me rather than going off on her own and playing by herself.

Now I don't mind, but I wouldn't mind a bit of...not playing time but also I'm worried it's going to affect her going down the line.

Thoughts?
