First attempt to find Reuters people on here: go.bsky.app/JGcTPi3 -- Someday we'll get the Social Media team to get the actual handle up and running.

Like I can see getting a Quest or something because Beat Saber is amazing, but what else does anyone actually want to do with these?

Does anyone actually want these things for non gaming?

Baseball is the best. But for Seattle baseball just punched them in the face.

Sagittarius: The celestial energy is indicating the moment has come to make some important decisions. Apparently the celestial energy has forgotten that you suck at that.

Runs allowed by Dodger starting pitchers this series:

Snell - 1
Yamamoto - 3
Glasnow - 3
Ohtani - 2

Sorry hang on that's *hits* allowed by Dodger starting pitchers this series.

Dodger starters also have three home runs this series, which is odd because pitchers no longer hit.

Shohei Ohtani is the first player with two 116+ mph home runs in a game under Statcast (2015, regular season or postseason)

HE IS ALSO PITCHING TONIGHT

I hate having to switch TV apps because events are on different services. And as far as I know none of these stupid devices let you window the apps. It's a special kind of hellscape we've created for ourselves with this nonsense.

🚨🚨🚨 Reuters journalists have discovered an enormous, secret mass grave in Syria — likely with tens of thousands of bodies. The graves are part of 2-year conspiracy by Assad’s forces to excavate one of Syria’s largest known mass graves and hide bodies in the desert. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Exclusive: Assad government secretly moved mass grave to cover up killings, Reuters investigation finds

From 2019 to 2021, Syria’s authoritarian government carried out a secret operation to move tens of thousands of bodies from the exposed Qutayfah mass grave to a hidden site in the desert east of Damascus. The goal of the clandestine reburial was to hide evidence of atrocities as Bashar Assad tried to regain international standing.

Made a friend hiking in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve today. Also everything is much greener than usual with all of the rain. Also also, I now hate humidity and even a little bit feels oppressive.

Radio is how baseball is supposed to be. I listen to almost all of the Tigers games, and even if I have it on TV I switch to the radio broadcast.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

In all seriousness, one difference between Big Ten and SEC culture is that nobody talks like this. If Georgia had lost to Kentucky and Mississippi State in back-to-back weeks, I do think there'd be a shameless partisan media effort to make it a story about the great depth of the league

Alex Kirshner @alexkirshner.com · 10d

The Big Ten is just such a deep league, where a team like Northwestern or UCLA can get anyone any week. This is a testament to the strength of the conference
