Daniil Medvedev isn't really mellowing with age. Also, Learner Tien is kind of nice!

And it's certainly not always the ones you expect!

I didn't think "Scorched Earth Jimmy Kimmel" was in the realm of possibility.

Yet here we are. I'm now a fan of someone I thought about less than once a year about two months ago.

Sanho Tree @sanho.bsky.social · 11h

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

Putting the Marianas Trench in the center of the map because that's where I want to go.

this is what happens when school maps in the 90s have the united states in the center

conor smith: Joined Sep '23
Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

nyc nafo fella: How has he shown himself to be unfit?

conor smith: By failing to return €3,300 paid to him in error by a former tenant, going as far as to ignore solicitor's letters

nyc nafo fella: 3,300 Euros? What the fuck are you talking about?

banjo gall: Think.

nyc nafo fella: Well normally since Gavin Newsom is in America he would be paid in dollars, not Euros. Maybe you should take your suggestion? You filthy motherfucking Russian troll.

banjo gal: You seem upset. Who's Gavin Newsom? We're discussing Jim Gavin.

nyc nafo fella: Looks like this fight against international Putin loving fascists is going international. And who the fuck is Jim Gavin?

banjo gal: Jim Gavin was a nominee in the Irish presidential race, until he pulled out at the weekend due to a scandal whereby he owed a former tenant
€3,300.
Not sure what Putin and fascists have to do with this.

nyc nafo fella: When your other nation is Russia or Serbia that is very true, fuck you and your nation.

banjo gal: But it's not. It's Ireland.
Thanks though.

nyc nafo fella: Why are dumb fuck anglos showing up on my timeline?

The Blacksky migration guide makes clear that there are separate Blacksky adjacent spaces where non Black folks can support/benefit the Blacksky algorithm. Those are open to all!

Screengrab from Blacksky migration document:

“blacksky algorithms

blacksky.app is exclusively for members of the Blacksky community.

This PDS has specific membership requirements and is reserved for Black folks building communal infrastructure.
Warning: Anyone else using a
blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension.

Alternative PDSs for Everyone:

Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other PDSs that are open to anyone:

• myatproto.social - Open to all
• cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all”

(Although they probably thought he was Catholic. They don't realize other people wear the cute little collar most of the time. And they think Catholics SUPER aren't Christian. Anyone who hasn't been "born again" isn't to them)

Good to see you back on the baseball beat.

rawkitbawl @rawkitbawl.bsky.social · 11h

Listen, I think about religion in America more than I should.

But most Evangelicals don't think Presbyterians are really Christians.

And most of Trump's army of assholes are evangelicals.

I have the squeaky part from a dog toy on my coffee table right now. I think hypothetical visitors will both enjoy and honk it.

Why is it there? Gotta be somewhere.

Non-St. Louis Missouri is the South also. Iowa is culturally just Iowa.

rawkitbawl @rawkitbawl.bsky.social · 12h

Nope. No part of the Dakotas or Oklahoma is part of the Midwest.

And part of Indiana, a large part really, is culturally the South.

William Hazen @williamhazen.bsky.social · 1d

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

States AND cities try to make gun laws that are doomed to failure. We can't or won't stop American guns from flowing into Mexico, how can we possibly hope to stop them from moving domestically?

What I'm saying is that I agree with you and am a bit frustrated.

Hope you can get some rest and some drinks, alcoholic or not as you wish!

Might chase away the demons in your knees!

rawkitbawl @rawkitbawl.bsky.social · 12h

That doesn't sound great! But maybe it is? Maybe you've grown two additional hearts in your knees?

lol. I think that says a lot more about Tech than it does about ODU and its once proud basketball program.

rawkitbawl @rawkitbawl.bsky.social · 12h

It would be such a mistake *looks at ODU and Charlotte and shudders*

rawkitbawl @rawkitbawl.bsky.social · 12h

Dayton pointy ball is hilarious. FCS non-scholarship is SUCH a weird thing that clearly shouldn't exist.

A pure product of the insanity of the NCAA.

Not a slight at the players or the program, but they're basically in limbo.

I might make a feed of all the A10 guys who are in the NBA either full time or on two way contracts.

Once they're done beating Dayton's ass, I always want A10 guys to succeed in the League.

I thought that was legit exciting! I hope he can find a permanent role this season.

He's still a thrilling offensive player, and we don't need to focus on defense too much in this conversation.

Obviously J League doesn't have this problem, but European football is such a financial mess. I hate American sports team owners, but they've got nothing on the human rights violators who own some of Europe's most successful clubs.

If I gave a shit about soccer, I'd really be eating.

Sadly, I tried and failed to get into it. It's neat and all but just not for me.

Oh shit. NBA preseason started. The time for me to provide you with unwanted updates about the doings of Obi Toppin, Toumani Camara and (finally!) DaRon Holmes!
