this is the dumbest thing I've ever watched (complimentary)

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

I think the Detroit Red Wings are going to be really, catastrophically, trade everyone at the deadline and fire the entire front office bad

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I was not previously aware of this and I do not think I am going to look into it further

Tom Anderson sold his company at its peak, worked through the 2-year contract he signed when he sold it, then retired in his 30s. He travels around the world with his hot girlfriend and goes surfing. He never started another company. This is how to be rich.

It's also just weirdo shit. "I have one hundred million dollars but I want more money" ok why

It's categorically impossible to be an ethical billionaire and I will die on that hill forever.

This guy's shot map from last season is a work of art. Just ripping it from 40 yards twice a game. The way he's adjusting to playing for a team that can actually get him the ball in the box is cool.

Since moving to Serie A, Nikola Krstović's ranking in Europe's big 5 leagues for shots per 90 has been:

2023-24: 35th (3.38)
2024-25: 9th (3.95)
2025-26: 5th (5.06)

This week's post for @thetransferflow.bsky.social is on Serie A's most unique floor raiser

Meet Atalanta's new shot monster

With over 5 shots per 90, Nikola Krstović could be a breakout star in Serie A.

Trump just threatened to bomb Norway if the Nobel committee doesn’t give him the Peace Prize. “Peace through strength,” he told reporters when asked about his rationale.

Yeah it's weird how she's managed to create such a strong stan/hater dichotomy. Like most professional musicians who have released 150-200 songs, some of them are very good and some of them are very bad.

"She should be" gonna stop you right there chief, telling strangers what they should be doing is weird

Idk man there are just a lot of really inaccurate throws. Where he's got time and an open man and just misses the throw by 2-3 feet.

For whatever reason (probably racism), they didn't realize that The Average Voter saw a pretty big difference between what they perceived to be people sneaking across the border and Latinos in their community. Moderate Molly did not think you were talking about the regular people in her town.

Not that I want to give them any ideas but this requires a galvanizing event, something that makes it clear we have An Enemy and makes libs think they have more in common with conservatives than people from other countries. This is clearly not the case right now.

Am I missing something here? This doesn't feel MAGA-coded or preachy to me, just a hey heads up I have these beliefs and want a partner with similar ones.

Looking at a team's Wyscout page and there's one player photo that's in black and white while all the other ones are normal, did she die or something

this made me think about how Anna Delvey was foreshadowing and now we've built the entire American economy out of Anna Delveys

David Mack @davidmackau.bsky.social · 1d

just met a woman at a party & asked her what she did for work. could barely understand her because she was so soft spoken & had an accent so i just nodded a bunch.

“she’s in culture,” her friend said.

i finally realised that i was talking to
ANNA DELVEY

I ASKED ANNA DELVEY WHAT SHE DID FOR WORK

If the girlfriend of the founder of antifa got arrested does that mean he's single now 👀

I was at a bar with my dad during the Brewers game and he kept asking me how many outs there were and who was on base. He is not that old or in poor health.
