Ignore this if you don't know what Teague Time means.

Anyway, Teague Time is just mini jersey dresses. Anyway, I'm mad we got Teague Time before WNBA jersey dresses.

Feels like Adam Silver and Cathy Englebert colluded to do this to the W.

Got to admit I was dead wrong about the LeBron announcement. I thought there was no way it wasn’t going to be an Amazon ad. Turns out it was a Hennessy ad. That’s on me.

I don't understand why Adam Mosseri would push a new feature for Instagram using the theme of a movie with a plot about how watching media someone shares with you will lead to a horrible death

What’s going on with this Instagram promotion?

It keeps making me think of The Ring.

Just personally

I wouldn't want to come off as being more gullible about sharing cnbc's weekend rage and interaction bait that they post every weekend

than people who still post on Twitter

Screenshot showing 1000 quotes on a cnbc post saying "use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you"

The same post, on x from @cnbcmakeit with zero quotes

fyi - every time you ever injured yourself, you may be under the impression that it has healed permanently and just as good as before. That is not exactly the case, as you will find out shortly.

Who is the bad AI Friend?

With a Friend like this, who needs enemies?

I’m inclined to agree with the graffiti-ed ads.

the developers of every new social media platform start by thinking they’ve solved the problems of the previous ones —and that those problems were primarily and overwhelmingly technical—, and so here we are again

Caitlin Clark:

"I have great respect for Phee and I think she made a lot of very valid points. We need great leadership in this time across all levels. This is straight up the most important moment in this league's history. Phee said it all"

If you don't want to be treated like a bot (ignored and probably blocked)

You really shouldn't have a bot timeline. I also don't understand y'all who reply to and quote botlike accounts

This is probably how Cheryl Reeve showed up at practice today, telling the team she is gonna be on the bench with them.

Obviously if they lose Phee they’re cooked but I don’t think the impact of the Dijonai injury can be overstated

For a year, @rjcc.bsky.social and I have developed a theory originally based on NBATok/BronTok and eventually expanded to the WNBA:

Pro basketball has the horniest fan base and it's not even close.

And I say this as someone who says, "I miss Kickette" (the soccer thirst trap site) 5x per year.

All services should now be recovered!

AT Protocol Developers @atproto.com · 14d

An upstream network problem has been impacting almost all Bluesky network services for the past 3-4 hours. Posting and other public interactions are disrupted for many accounts.

As connectivity recovers, the firehose and other services will see large surges of events.

Playing FFTactics is at best a paramilitary management sim. I've played roughly 30 hours. 27 of them were spent in menus and starting a fight over 20 minutes deep bc my healer died and FUCK YOU if you think I'm gonna take the time to train another Orator.
It is the single best FF game ever made.

The Bluesky status page has been updated to confirm the issue -- some servers weren't synced up so not everyone will have seen the issue.
status.bsky.app

Broad Service Degradation
Upstream network disruption between key Bluesky services is impacting several product features, as well as ecosystem services.
Event delivery (including posts and interactions) between many Bluesky and independent PDS instances are delayed by several hours.
