Catching up on some @raptorsrepublic.bsky.social content and I can barely hear anything in the video as @justesbaraheni.bsky.social's moustache is too captivating.

The "pro-life" party is going to find this absolutely abhorrent.

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start.

Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

Trading an unprotected future first for a rookie center only to have to sign DeAndre Jordan a few days into the season is one of the darkest NBA transaction stories I've seen.

Michael Scotto @mikeascotto.bsky.social · 2h

Just In: The New Orleans Pelicans and DeAndre Jordan have agreed to a deal, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. The 17-year NBA veteran has averaged 8.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks with the Clippers, Mavericks, Knicks, Nets, Lakers, 76ers, and Nuggets.

My wife, noted baseball hater up until a few months ago, is now planning social engagements around the World Series. I'm shook.

How many bow ties do you think Ernie Johnson owns?

Matt Shantz @shantz.bsky.social · 16h

As we should. And he'll always be a Raptor in my books.

I love watching Pascal Siakam play basketball. He's such a joy.

To put that in perspective, 1,800 KMs is the distance between Winnipeg and Denver.

Matt Shantz @shantz.bsky.social · 18h

Last year, I was able to keep my bike on the road until November 15th. In total, the 2024 season ended with 1,601 KMs.

I'm already at 1,596 KMs. Assuming health and decent fall weather, outside chance I can reach 1,800 KMs.

Also, while I was on my walking pad a coworker brought me a donut. So today is pretty good for a random Thursday in October.

I know there is a lot happening right now, and this likely only matters to me, but I got my new standing desk at work yesterday and am currently on my walking pad due to a slower meeting day. I'm very content.

Incredible story. What a ride!

Trey Yesavage is starting game one of the World Series. What a year for him and his family!

There is a better than 0% chance that Jim Trusty was inspired to pick this name after watching Better Call Saul.

I'm guessing this wasn't a unanimous decision by the front office. Probably a Split(ter) decision from the front office.

Portland Trail Blazers assistant Tiago Splitter will assume head coaching position in the interim in place of Chauncey Billups, sources tell ESPN. Nate Bjorken was strongly considered by Portland as well but Bjorken decided it was best for franchise to maintain his current role.

I have not read this document, but I am almost certain that Flappy snitched at some point.

Jorge A. Caballero, MD @datadrivenmd.social · 1d

Chauncey Billups' co-defendants include: Big Bruce, Pookie, Sugar, Albanian Bruce, Spook, The Wrestler, Flappy, and Spanish G.

I'm 100% serious

I'm very curious what the Raptors will look like when they play a competent team that actually wants to try.

Re-watching some of last night's Raptors/Hawks game, and while Atlanta was TERRIBLE, one positive was Jalen Johnson's passing. He made at least 5 high-level passes. He was the only Hawk that matched the Raptors effort.

It's 6:25am in Portland. So we're about to witness Blazers fans learning about the Billups news in real-time.
