Outstanding analysis. Wouldn’t it be nice if this video was recognized as a turning point, sometime in the future?

On editing: two people covering the Sharks regularly, posting about the same media availability. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the two posts communicate what happened very differently, in the sense of the interview subject’s attitude

Sheng Peng’s post: “Askarov’s message to Nedelijkovic: ‘Shit happens.’”

Max Miller’s post: “Talked to Askarov about what he said to Nedeljkovic after last night. ‘The game was pretty good by him. I said shit happens just keep going.’ #SJSharks”

The candor from the owner is absolutely astonishing. My appreciation for billionaires is, shall we say, limited, but this is akin to Buffett riffing at a Berkshire Hathaway stockholders meeting

Honestly surprised that NDEP did anything here, given how in thrall the government there is to bright shiny objects (even underground)

They did knock the statutorily permissible fine down considerably

Nevada state regulators have accused Elon Musk’s Boring Co. of digging without approval, releasing untreated water onto city streets and spilling muck from its trucks, according to a new document obtained by @citycastvegas.bsky.social and @propublica.org.

Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Accused of Nearly 800 Environmental Violations on Las Vegas Project

Nevada could’ve fined the company more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

good solid thinking

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 2d

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

october is peak sports time

and you may be asking yourself, "the world is on fire, how can you care about a game?"

because for all the anguish we sports fans moan about, gods, nothing hits like the joy you get when your hopes pay off.

and as a sports fan, all you have is hope.

The Supreme Court ruled states can ban trans youth from receiving gender-affirming care, which is scientifically validated.

The Court is now poised to rule states *cannot* ban conversion therapy on kids, which science finds to be akin to torture.

This may be my pettiest complaint ever on Bluesky: why do sports commentators always use the term “fan base” now?

What was wrong with “fans?”

I could see, maybe, distinguishing between fans who come and go (bandwagon) and loyal core (e.g. me, Sharks season ticket holder) but that’s not happening

very coherent analysis of the farce unfolding before us

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 4d

The reason this therapy is used on kids is because it's often abusive, coercive, manipulative and dangerous—no kid would choose it if they had adult faculties, making Justices' claims that the therapy is "voluntary" profoundly misleading. And the idea that therapy has no medical component is insane.
