The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I've said this before, but Leah is one of my professional heroes. She is a national treasure. It's been such an insane privilege to work with her & learn from her & play even a miniscule role in her work.
This is a huge loss for OPB and for Oregonians. I do not understand it at all.

On the day that @opb.org CEO Rachel Smolkin posted this video, saying OPB’s funding gap of $5 million was closed, I was also told by the Chief Content Officer that Hush was canceled. Eighty percent of my income, and my health insurance - gone. I was given no reason for the cancellation. 1/x
OPB has closed this year’s $5 million budget gap created when Congress ended federal funding. Our work is not done. A strong future for free and fair journalism requires your support.

Ipswich Town was reportedly being valued at £375mm (or £325mm w/o promotion to the Prem) back in July. Arizona cops and firefighters making out like bandits, they've almost 10x'd since the £40mm valuation they bought in at in 2021.

This matters for Oregonians, as conservatives in the state are using the “Mississippi Miracle” as an excuse to defund public K-12 education in Oregon in favor of private charters. A couple of small-town districts have already done this (and their outcomes have been terrible)
Very interesting Gelman blog suggesting that a good amount of the "Mississippi Miracle" is selection bias (holding back lowest performers, who then don't take the 4th grade test) rather than improved learning

Will Stein to Kentucky:
a) seems great for both parties;
b) seems perfectly fine for Dan Lanning/Oregon; and
c) will appease the dumbass section of the Ducks fan base that thinks every play should go for a touchdown. Wins all around
Gonna be hilarious if they hire Phil Longo or somebody else

This is how I found out UCLA made a hire, and it is an awesome one but that institution has bigger concerns than whether or not the coach is tactically adept
