In this divided, polarized world, I like that we all seem to come together because everyone really fucking hates Brian Kelly.

Brace for another wave of x refuges

& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts
and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model.
Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks.
• Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader.
Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

the thing that i find so funny with reggie is that for years everyone has complained about nba coverage being way too negative and then you have reggie who praises and celebrates the current generation of players more than everyone and people hate him too lol

just generally i like this booth. i'm a reggie guy but i do know he can be a bit much, but jamal's so much of a basketball junkie he keeps the conversation on the game and reggie seems a bit more on task lol

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

An elite two way player is so rare I don’t think people can fully understand it. Barry being the literal GOAT offensive player doesn’t outweigh an elite slugger/starting pitcher

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

it is very bad that cynicism is the default mode of U.S. political reporting and that institutions teach young reporters that it's wisdom.

Are you one of the many thousands of people who rely on SNAP?

If so, and you're worried about being able to put on a Thanksgiving meal.

Aldi's can make a meal that feeds 10 people for 40 bucks.

If other guests can chip in it takes the stress off of everyone at your gathering.

Kaali Kamala: Thee OG YIM-BOO for Harris 🪷 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 @domitiaenobaria.bsky.social · 6d

If we’d rallied behind Biden we would have president Harris right now! But that’s the rub innit? They didn’t want him because that makes her a heartbeat away from POTUS.

Nefarious Means @nefariousmeans.bsky.social · 9d

Pushing Biden out was the biggest political fuck-up of the 21st century and frankly the people who who pushed for it should never be listened to again.
