What didn't the senator know, and when didn't he know it?
Andrew Whitehead@andrew-whitehead.bsky.social · 2d agoBrutal, and so necessary. The close on this segment is spot on--if a witness lies under oath to Congress, it's prison. When a Senator lies and gets it wrong--???? And the clip of Schmidt gets funnier and funnier, the way he basically begs the room to agree the witness just perjured himself. 🤡

We got the kids a toy Mass set, and now I keep finding these wooden hosts around the house. If you're wondering, yes, they do taste about the same as your average Cavanaugh wafer.
"I screamed this argument into a microphone where an AI program turned it into squiggles on my screen. These squiggles...they look familiar, like from a half-forgotten dream."
Johanna Winant@johannawinant.bsky.social · 3d agomissing from this argument is the fact that Williams is an extraordinarily rich college with students who are overall very well-prepared for college—essentially none of this is generalizable even to a flagship university, much less any other higher education institution
I misread this as Margot Robbie instead of Marco Rubio and was reeeeeeaaaaaalyyyyy confused.

My grumpiest Grumpy Old Man take is that the hacky stand-up jokes about complex coffee drinks are right. Please dont make me wait behind someone getting a coffee milkshake to get my black coffee. Their drink takes longer to order than mine does to pour.

"You wouldn't want a doctor drinking iced coffee when they give you a cancer diagnosis? Here's a fictional doctor drinking coffee during briefing." "No iced coffee at an interview? But you, having the same employer for 20 years, have a beverage in your social media bio!" What are we doing here?
Hypothesis: Network TV had the problem of "It's gets really good at season 3" Streaming TV has the problem of "It's really good until season 3"
Lindsay Fickas@lindsayfickas.bsky.social · 7d agoThere are so many shows on here that are great during the first two seasons and then become unwatchable. The Handmaid’s Tale started out poignant before turning into torture porn that happens solely because of June’s poor decisions. Ted Lasso is endearing until it’s grating

The other part of this is that it has to be strategic and planned; it absolutely needs to be discussed and thought about as a group. "Social Media Team" cannot mean "three people post whatever they want to the church FB page," but too many small churches treat their social accounts this way.
High Church Raccoon⛪️🦝@pilgrimaltsburg.bsky.social · 2w agoI'd love to update the website, streamline the office tasks, and run social media, but that's absolutely going to take back seat to planning worship, prepping for Bible study, writing sermons, and visting our homebound members.
