Hi Eric, Please be the reason my children believe in miracles again.

Not gonna find me caping for Aaron Rodgers but 14g 19TDs 8INTs 16g 24TDs 7INTs

The thing I latched onto in this (overlong) essay was the focus on speed. Even if everything we could was shippable at Fable speed in 3 days… we’re still not launching until the Fall of Quarter 2X because that’s how products work. So we can build at sonnet speed and be fine.

Me, Fan of sports with caps giving a take: every owner has money and this opportunity, so I can’t begin to care about any of it

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

[leaning over to my wife, who is annoyed because this is the 3rd time this movie] *whisper* that’s refusing the call

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

Not obscure, I don’t think, but we have gone beyond the breaking point on the amount of trailers before a movie. If you got me there for 3 hours, you should get 10 minutes TOPS

What is an extremely nerdy/obscure/specific thing you hate with a white-hot wrath?

A lot of people have been polarized by funny screenshots of Google’s search summary doing dumb things. If you are fortunate to have access to one of the better models/tools, it can do a lot to simplify drudgery.

I see this lie about requiring ID to get into the Obama library is still going around. They ask for id for the -resident discount and free days-

What an awesome tribute to Taysom Hill.

The lab leak theory finds purchase because the alternative is rethinking our relationship with the animal world (and, likely following from that, industrial agriculture) and people really don't want to do that. But Jane Goodall was right www.pbs.org/newshour/sci...

“We are all interconnected,” the famed primatologist, and a leading voice in conservation efforts, told the PBS NewsHour. “And if we don’t get that lesson from this pandemic, then maybe we never will....

I’m not the coach, fortunately, but I don’t see any benefit to keep Rudolph on the team. That said, if I was Will Howard, I would start getting quotes on moving companies.

Christopher Carter@cartercritiques.bsky.social · 6d ago

The #Steelers QB battle behind Aaron Rodgers is just getting started. Mason Rudolph's comfortable in competition with Will Howard and Drew Allar as the coaches work to develop the younger QBs. More via @post-gazette.com from day 1 of camp:

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

RIP Kavinsky. The DRIVE (2011) title sequence (and prologue) is just one of the most magnetic and successful sequences in movie history and it's impossible to imagine any track other than "Nightcall" in it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_z...

We have some lanes that are “turn right or go straight” and people will lean on the horn if I’m going straight because they’re too dumb to understand I’m not turning.

People on the left think that heavy-handed social pressure or even the implicit threat of violence does not work to change behavior but shitty drivers very much do NOT believe that and seek to punish ("teach a lesson to") drivers they see as insufficiently aggressive

Hey parents of bsky: What are some theories of parenting you were very confident in right up until you had your own kids?

American sports teams need to just embrace the soccer paradigm of doing a new kit every year.
