As a Mets-Jets-Nets fan, I am not familiar with this feeling tonight. Is this what other teams’ fans feel like sometimes?

In the first weeks of the war, the Chicago-born Leo was initially reluctant to publicly condemn the violence and limited his comments to muted appeals for peace and dialogue. But Leo stepped up his criticism starting on Palm Sunday. n.pr/4ckPbCK

But of course.

National media yawn when millions protest peacefully

Journalists gravitate toward conflict, but civilized engagement matters too.

Soto bomb! First of many, Lord willing. #lgm

Ugh - just thought of this: if the #Mets do sign Soto, that means there will be more nationally televised games and fewer with GKR. Silver lining: More Howie Rose!

I see a lot of people talk about the environmental costs of AI. I don't see as much about the human exploitation behind it.

NYC folks: Have a reservation with the family for a non-turkey thanksgiving dinner, but found out the place got a subpar health inspection grade. (Nostalgic spot from childhood.) Thoughts on non-touristy Manhattan steakhouses that exceedingly well-behaved kids would do well at?

Know someone with a mastery of finance and a passion for strengthening local news? Spread the word.

Done.

Welcome new followers! Not sure how you found me, but I’m glad you did! Related: is there any way to find out if I’ve been added to a list? (Figure I’m neither prolific nor clever enough to have been followed organically. 😅)

I did it. I deleted the other app from my phone. Juan Soto to the Mets, breaking on BS. Here we come!

The crumbling of media (thanks Facebook/Google) has meant that media orgs are errecting paywalls, which means people often can't get good info even if looking for it. Which is why @motherjones.bsky.social is not paywalled. You can help us stay that way. secure.motherjones.com/flex/mj/key/...

Note to newbies: Post at least *something* so that folks you’re following know whether they should follow you back.

So I just mention stuff in a post and my algorithm is tweaked? Let’s try this out Teams: NHL: New York Rangers MLB: New York Mets (with a dash of the Chicago White Sox) NBA: New York Knicks NFL: New York Giants EPL: Arsenal …and others

@rapperbigpooh.bsky.social , as in, LB Pooh? If so, wow!

Probably a good idea to follow a bunch of folks on BS, even if they're not active. Follow notifications may encourage people to post more.

Catharsis AND a fantastic cause?

A number of organizations are partnering on dozens of pumpkin smash events this weekend in Chicago and the suburbs. Instead of winding up in landfills, where they contribute to methane emissions, the pumpkins will be composted and turned into rich soil.

Rediscovering BS like I did Twitter in early 2008. Good to see so many familiar faces.

Just gonna roll with this until the inevitable letdown.

The Mets are engaged in a surprising and entertaining playoff race. Fans don’t want to jinx anything, but the good vibes — and the inexplicable presence of Grimace — is giving them hope. nyti.ms/4e4gX6e

Been awhile since I was here. How's it going? Better than the other site yet?
