Transcription saves me a lot of time, but I can still log the old-fashioned way if I have to (and sometimes still do). Of course, I learned to edit audio by splicing tape with a razor blade, so my bar for technical progress is a lot higher than ChatGPT

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

A judge has struck another ballot measure from Arizona's November ballot: HCR 2048, which would prohibit taking back scholarship money -- including ESA funds -- from the kids of military families. It would also invalidate, in its entirety, an ESA reform initiative set for the ballot this year.

State Rep. Ralph Heap, who is running for Arizona Corporation Commission, which sets utility rates, is under investigation over a campaign-finance complaint. And the allegations could disqualify him from receiving public campaign funding: www.abc15.com/news/local-n...

Arizona voters will see one fewer ballot measure in November: A judge has ruled HCR 2040, a measure aimed at restricting education unions, is unconstitutional. The Senate president and House speaker, both Republicans, were defending the measure, and the Senate spokesperson says they will not appeal.

I don’t think people quite realize how disruptive the pandemic was to journalism. Local coverage has been the biggest loser. News junkies have more options than ever with the rise of hyperlocal sports sites and independent journalists, but there’s a huge void for the general audience.

As a former Athletic writer, I strongly believe the pivot point was the pandemic. Before 2020, I do think the company goal really was to have exceptional local coverage everywhere. It was a point of pride that we had someone covering every team in the 4 major North American sports leagues.

Look, I am a nerd of the highest level, and even I haven’t watched every single Marvel thing (lol Secret Invasion). I’ve been reading comics for 35 years and reading/writing fanfic for 30. But even I find the modern MCU exhausting. If they’re losing me, I can’t imagine how regular folks feel

Karen K. Ho@karenho.bsky.social · 2w ago

I think a real problem with the MCU is that many people don't have the time, energy or memory bandwidth to have watched all the preceding movies or understand the backstory of all the characters. They are the type of movie viewers who just want a few hours of fun escape and good storytelling.

Oof, this game is reminding why I dislike Argentina so much. Just the most annoying team

The audio on this game (on Fox on DirecTV, at least) is so distracting. It randomly gets louder and then goes back down. I really notice it because I have my headphones on (look, I’m also at a baseball game haha)

This is why you just let Shakira do the World Cup song and call it a day (OK, I also enjoyed Madonna with my favorite mix of that song, but I also have been in love with her since I was like 7.

I complain a lot about Bieber showing up in the NHL a lot, but I guess he shows up to also ruin other sports?

Devastating news. L7 has been one of my favorite bands since I discovered “Smell the Magic” in high school. That album changed my life, and showed me how music could be more than what I saw on MTV. RIP

Jaws 4. The shark roared! Even as a kid, that stood out as awful. Otherwise, it's probably Sucker Punch, I film I despise with every fiber of my being.

Well, that was a fun week 😂 It was obviously a long shot, but I love that they tried

Charlie O'Connor@charlieoconn.bsky.social · 4w ago

The Flyers took their shot. But no Leo Carlsson coming to Philadelphia, and the need for a true needle-mover remains. The positive is that it showed how far Briere is willing to go to get that guy. The negative is that it showed how hard it's going to be to actually get him.

It’s an incredible day to be a Flyers fan!

Charlie O'Connor@charlieoconn.bsky.social · last mo.

Anaheim has said they'll match any offer sheet sent Leo Carlsson's way. Daniel Briere is going to make Pat Verbeek prove it.

It’s 2:30 a.m. at the Arizona Capitol, and we’re entering hour 16 of the last day of the legislative session. The Arizona House has spent hours voting on two final ballot referrals.

Her answer is fascinating. The Vegas Golden Knights are notorious (and hated) for their ruthless approach to team management and for hiring Carter Hart, who one year ago was on trial for a sexual assault charge and is now the starting goaltender on the Western Conference Conference champions

And the most hated team in the NHL moves on to the Stanley Cup Finals by sweeping the best regular-season team. Honestly, I can’t decide if it’s more shocking that Vegas finally got their shit together or that Colorado fell so completely on their face.

This crowd reaction in Montreal is absolutely bonkers. It's almost enough to make me forget how annoying Habs fans are.

Why am I still buying PPVs in the year of our Lord 2026? Because AEW always delivers with Double or Nothing. Just an outstanding show from top to bottom #AEWDON

It’s actually amazing how bad the ESPN commentary is. They never seem to know anything about the teams’ actual play

EvolvingWild@evolvingwild.evolving-hockey.com · 2mo ago

The funny thing about the commentary is that they’re kind of framing this as a MacKinnon and Makar only team… when the 25-26 Avalanche are one of the deepest teams we’ve seen in years. This series is mind boggling

No one reinvents himself as well as Jericho #AEWDON

AEW just out here proving they know how to pay off storylines #AEWDON

The worst thing about this app is how so many people on here are obsessed with telling everyone why they think it’s bad people are on Bluesky. I don’t care! Go back to X, then! And everyone else, stop arguing with them! I just want to see skeets about baseball and hockey and books ffs
