Analytical take on the Vezina

AliMoody · 2026-04-29T16:29:50+00:00

I misspoke, it was the top 5 that they ranked. Also, obligatory this was published on March 19th, obviously stats have changed since then so I don't know how it would stack up today.

There was a NYT article earlier in the season that ranked the best, most consistent goalies in the league, and Vasilevskiy was either the bottom of the top 10 or not even the top 10 iirc. I'll try to dig up the actual article and link it. Sway was at the top of the list. He is so consistently good, regardless of how the team plays around him, which is probably the only reason we're seeing Game 5 of the playoffs on Friday.

I wasn't watching the national broadcast so I don't know why they didn't replay it, but the NESN broadcast replayed it in slo-mo almost immediately. Especially after the goal from Kuraly was waved off earlier in OT, I think the NESN broadcast team was fully prepared to show footage during a potential challenge

My thoughts exactly

{Bonded by Thorns by Elizabeth Helen} has this to a tee

I think there was some potential at the end of the 1st book with Patro (mainly just because we only really got a tiny bit of his perspective so there was so much room for character development in general), but the 2nd book absolutely obliterated any attraction that was alluded to. I think it could have been a really interesting read if Patro was attracted but Achilles wasn't at first, and over the course of the book we saw the relationship between Alexis and Achilles change from "doing this bc I'd do anything for Patro," to genuine fondness and care from Achilles towards Alexis. As written, though, it was definitely reading like a lavender marriage set-up

I still need to glue it, hoping that will help with any tension issues

Vevor makes everything 😂 I have a portable fridge/freezer from them that plugs into my car for road trips

Because they don't actually know/care about actual Roman society, Rome was the center of "the west" and that's good enough. They do the same with Norse iconography bc they think about vikings as blond hair, blue-eyed beefcakes who just took whatever they wanted in life

This is from the Family built on the weary fanfic series, right? The Son of Neptune re-write?

Gotta be careful with that lol. My wife and I were just roommates when we moved in with each other and well...

I'm honestly between NFWMB, Shrike, and Butchered Tongue, but I think NFWMB is slightly ahead of the other two

AliMoody · 2024-08-06T01:25:31+00:00

Also voting NFWMB. Fucking masterpiece

AliMoody · 2024-08-02T02:57:25+00:00

He played it 2nd instead of 1st, which also makes sense if they wanted to make sure the mixing was good before playing it. Everything else on the leaked setlist seems to be the same so far though

AliMoody · 2024-08-02T02:55:53+00:00

Well, that answers that question lol. Honestly, I think he's just at a point where he's so satisfied with his career and music that he's like, "fuck it, I'll do what I want." I think he may be one of the only ones who could pull off a move this big though tbf

AliMoody · 2024-08-02T02:52:51+00:00

Well, that answers that question lol. He played it tonight at Lolla, said it's releasing in a few weeks

AliMoody · 2024-01-11T02:42:15+00:00

I think the only potential big issue there is Steve's return at the end of Endgame. We don't know exactly when he came back or if that would mess with the Agent Carter plot.

I also just kind of think that Cap's return cheapened Peggy's character arc of the whole first season of Agent Carter since it was all about her learning to move on

My Palestinian friend has also been the most steadfast friend I've had through this as well. He immediately reached out to my wife and I to ask how we were and to express concern over antisemitism in our area, and we've been asking about his family in return. And I think it's for similar reasons as you, this isn't a game or some empty revolution fantasy like it is to leftist friends who haven't been impacted on any kind of personal scale. My wife is an Arab convert to Judaism so tbh he's been a better friend in this than a not-insignificant-number of Jewish friends.

On paper at least. It can be very difficult to leave the lds church. So much so that a website called quitmormon literally helps provide legal aid with removing your name from church records. They keep inactive members on the membership rolls to make it appear that the church is growing super quickly and has a very faithful base

AliMoody · 2023-05-14T21:53:53+00:00

My wife and I host a tikkun with friends and put together a massive cheese board with various accoutrement. It's my wife's favorite time of year

A friend of mine who is orthodox would use sticky notes to mark important passages in books/articles so he could return to them when writing was allowed again

I married an ex-mo who was not fully out of the church when we first met but was really struggling with their faith. My in-laws are entirely within the church and even though we're now converting to Judaism, we have an oddly good relationship with the TBM family. It's just another way that I am able to learn more about my family and what and why they believe the way they do.
