Working in sports media for 18 years… let me tell you… there’s a sport for every day.

Only days off you get are MLB allstar game (usually no European soccer games on one of the day)

And the ~13 hours between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has homered in the first three games of the series. It's already 2-0 Blue Jays in The Bronx.

Man, he is incredible right now.

Being down 2-0 before you get into your seat is an incredible way to start

Yeah, watch out for this one.

The account in question doesn't exhibit bot-like behavior, but it is most definitely spreading false information.

Block and avoid.

now, this is absolutely what’s wrong with BlueSky

This account @gxldsociety.bsky.social

(That apparently follows me?)

Is on the karma farm grind and is spreading a video from months ago, as if it’s happening in real time, in Chicago.

This is dangerous and the account should be reported.

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois-U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants.
People screamed: "Who are you? Where are you taking them?"
This is authoritarian control in real time.

David Eby will win this fight seven days a week and twice on Sundays.

He's not the one opening the door to separatist referendums and forever blaming Canada for everything that goes wrong in his province.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I’ve been a social media manager for 8 years (unwillingly for most of it)

And I’m fucking sick of rich ivory tower types running an “open source” platform into the ground.

We have something nice here and I’ll fight for it

Until she inevitably deletes me and anyone else she doesn’t like.

Sorry, @jay.bsky.team reskeeted you…

And well she’s avoiding a conversation by posting through it.

Her karma farms are alive and well… got users attacking trans people on the daily… and misinforming the public

The zen I want is actual moderation with accountability
