Publishers are noting a shift in industry mindset around short stories as readers embrace shorter works, with a number feeling like “something is slowly shifting” and that “there’s a real excitement around stories again” 👇 #BookSky

Seems like they would have better lived up to their name had they just taken the L and then explained why the defeat wasn’t so bad.

Thanks for posting. I had a (long) short story published about a couple who goes “on tour” with Sting. There’s a page-long discussion about “Roxanne” towards the end.

Enjoy the outdoors in whatever way works for you. I biked to a frozen lake, where I saw one person ice fishing and another using a sail to scoot across the lake.

Halftime for the Bonnies.
2 early fouls called Moore
1, just 1, 3-pointer made
0, zero, NO fouls called on Joes.
And yet we got a tie game.

Sources say she is still more likely to have a spot on the 2028 Olympic team than Caitlin Clark.
BREAKING: After 20 seasons in the WNBA, Diana Taurasi has officially announced her retirement from the league.
No. 1 pick. MVP. 11x All-Star. 3x Champion. To name a few.

Bonas has to get Lajae Jones to shoot more. He’s taken 19 fewer shots (while making 11 more) than Hinton despite playing far more minutes. He’s made 11 more three-pointers than Moore while attempting only one more. He’s made 4 more threes than Council despite taking 10 fewer.
Usage rate and true shooting % for @atlantic10.bsky.social players averaging at least 13 minutes a game this season. #A10MBB #CBB

I have a soft spot for those with name doppelgängers.
Today's Birthday Team has guys named Boog Powell, Dan Boone, Sam Huff, and Ken Johnson, none of whom are the most famous people with those names. They should trade for Joe Smith.
Here's some useless knowledge: Terry Forster is the all-time leader in AVG, minimum 75 at-bats (.397).

Couldn’t watch the game tonight so had time to browse while tracking online. TIL Gibson Jimerson is a year younger than Jason Tatum. Taking nothing away from the Billikens, but is it really fair that the Bonnies had to face Almost Jason Tatum?
Saint Louis has taken down the St. Bonaventure Bonnies 73-68!
Gibson Jimerson dropped 28 points and 6 rebounds to lead the Billikens.
Saint Louis is now 10-6 on the season and a perfect 3-0 in the Atlantic 10!

Thanks for offering to do this. I like your first example. How about Gary Redus?
Quote this post and name any MLB player to get a positive stat from his career.
For example: Vance Law
Law, a very versailte defender, was the only player in MLB to appear at 10+ games at 1B, 2B, and 3B in each season 1985, 19876, and 1987.
He had 10.5 WAR in an 11-year career.

MLB had Jackie. The country still needed Brown v Board of Ed.
27000 days ago (February 5, 1951), California Governor Earl Warren says he’s not a candidate to become baseball commissioner. Sure, Earl. Sure. Then how did we get a Warren Commission?
