I am surprised at how deeply emotionally upsetting I find the White House destruction. Like amongst the heat death of a livable ecosystem and extrajudicial killings and rampant human rights violations, I almost feel guilty at how much those photos have made me actually tear up.

There's also the issue that Elon started charging to use the Twitter API (Bluesky's is free). That broke all of the cross-posting apps.

Great. Now give us a way to compensate beat writers who post here first and share exclusive content on the platform.

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.

They know us too well.

Don't get it. The spot seemed like the stronger challenge from the start.

Him, Rock, and Avante are part of a nice depth strategy by Brad--find guys with experience who don't cost much and can give you a few good games a season (note: Quinn would've signed the same type of dudes to huge starting contracts).

Sorry Goodell you're not fixing this one!

The original “Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker” sketch at The Second City in Chicago in ‘90 with Chris Farley, Jill Talley, Bob Odenkirk, Holly Wortell and Tim Meadows. Killed every single night. Tim is on “Colbert” tonight by the way.

Too bad because as a player he's exactly who we need.

There's a time and place for e, audio, and paper books and they're all great.

Not surprisingly, my opinion on this has changed since I started getting older and forgetting stuff.
