if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 16h agoLooks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
Two more GOP amendments go down to crushing defeats, both in MO. #4 would have made future ballot initiatives impossible to pass by requiring winning a majority statewide *and* in each congressional district. #5 would have eliminated the state income tax.
If you’re still waiting for your national team to be coached by Hervé Renard, STAY IN LINE

that last bullet point what's happening to Newcastle United may be the sign of things for them
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 18h agoEA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
Based on how the they influenced Fatal Fury: City of Wolves in their ownership of SNK, it’ll be real obvious when these people influence creative and financial decisions
Kotaku@kotaku.com · 22h agoWell, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666
am I going to listen to Berman lie on a podcast? I know it's going to piss me off, so logic says no, I'm not, but that reptile that lives in my brain says yes.
I feel like I’ve said it 1,000 times but the best way to make sure no trans girls or women ever get to participate in women’s sports is to simply not have women’s sports, problem solved. This is always where this was headed within sports.
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · yesterdayYou can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”
I love that AI companies are all like "we just have a marketing problem" when regular people are having AI experiences like this all over the place every single day
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · yesterdayGotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.
honestly whom among us
Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · yesterdayin insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
"This really feels like the ultimate admission that we, as hosts of AI infra, can't afford our own AI products. And if that's even partially the case, how could the companies we sell it to manage?”
404 Media@404media.co · yesterdayMicrosoft is introducing budget limits for AI use but says it still wants to be an ‘AI-first’ company.
I have a chunk of games to play though but as of now: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
Jan Ochoa@janochoa.bsky.social · 2d agoI'm already getting worried for the end of the year marathon of playing games for GOTY. What's y'all's frontrunner so far?
Bluesky absolutely can expand outside of a specific slice of American Politics in pretty straightforward ways. Like Twitter is still aggressively used in Japan and that's a good place to start chipping away. Entire industries. Getting sports posters on here has made the site more engaging.
I have my feelings on Dan LeBatard but the most correct he’s ever been was calling the founder of Outkick a shitstain
Frankie de la Cretaz@thefrankiedlc.news · 2d agoThis is the WNBA & Indiana Fever’s fault. This is from XX XY Athletics’ IG account—that’s Sophie Cunningham with Riley Gaines & Jennifer Sey. The worst transphobes. I haven’t written about it bc it’s gutting how unprepared the league was for this & now we have explicit hate visible at games.
🚨 MADNESS IN CHILE! 🇨🇻🤯 Vozinha has officially landed in Santiago! ✈️🇨🇱 Colo Colo’s new goalkeeper will undergo his medical tomorrow before putting the finishing touches on the move 🧤⚪️⚫️

Boneless Wings…Lover@coachd21.bsky.social · 2d agoDo you think you take a hit from a NFL player and not fumble the ball at your age?
Talking the Mystics and I'm still in awe of how much this one trade changed the trajectory of everything for them that 2025 No. 3 pick became Sonia Citron and that 2027 pick swap is looming like a gigantic anvil right now www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...
Mystics trade Ariel Atkins to Sky for No. 3 pick, more
The Mystics on Sunday traded two-time All-Star guard Ariel Atkins to the Sky in exchange for the No. 3 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft and two other 2027 selections.

Jorge Mas just walked out holding a printed copy of the “MLS 3.0” PowerPoint presentation. Alas, he was past me and @alexmsilverman.bsky.social too fast for us to ask if we could have a look.
Jonathan Tannenwald@jtannenwald.bsky.social · 2d agoThe vote is done. No word on the winner yet, but it might not be long until we know. Or maybe it will be. But the various team owners have started leaving. So I’d be ready…
