As a tiny Iowan, this guy was the first athlete who I knew, and could say the name of. He was practically a folk hero.

Future @supportclass.net clients are going to have a hard time topping this thank-you gift we got from @fish866.bsky.social in the form of a branded competitive nerf blaster

Chris is holding a white and purple heavy duty nerf blaster that has Support Class branding on it. Chris is smiling a lot

I KNOW RIGHT

I cannot express how excited I was to receive these. Getting to follow this entire evolution from your first YouTube videos to the Heden books and MCDM to having these physical *tomes* in my hand is a total trip. You deserve all the congratulations in the world. Living the dream.

god people pulling the "um, being anti-AI makes you a bigot" thing reminds me of thorne melcher crashing out over NFTs a few years back. it was fine to be anti- garbage tech back then and it's fine now, you can't trick me with word games lol

Mariners go to make a huge pitching change and begin their epic light show and elaborate production, so OF COURSE Fox goes to the 14th replay of commercials for their 3 awful TV shows that you are less and less interested in with every repeat of their ads

I know playoff games have already started but I need you to believe I'd already made these picks and hadn't gotten around to posting them

here's a depressing spreadsheet, and the exact number is 61.1%

A spreadsheet showing the 18 games the Twins lost in the postseason between 2004-2020, and that they scored first in 61%

Chris Hanel @chrishanel.com · 5d

Okay, just looked, and yeah, it was 60%. The reason i was thinking it was more is because it was that they scored *first* in 60%, not just leading at any point - the problem is that they never once took a lead they previously didn't have.
