@thepressbox.bsky.social Is "found a new perspective" the new "in the best shape of his career" as a recurrent preaseason NFL story? Always about a great but possibly maniacal coach (McVay a few years ago, LaFleur now) who now swears he's not as maniacal as he used to be.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur found new perspective after a rocky 2025 season. Can he keep it?

Saw @sophyromvari.bsky.social's BLUE HERON. A movie that does things that only a movie could do. It has four or five pure magic moments that floored me.
In the 90s, LUCKY would have been a bad 1h45 movie, instead of the worse, several episodes-long TV show it is now.
Loved the Odyssey, what a triumph of imagination. The main message: don't break the rules of your civilization or it may crash and burn around you

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 4w agoTrump and Infantino are loudly jeered as they walk out to present the World Cup trophy.
Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”
Men’s World Cup. Pretty fun and stuff. Wish it was less evil. Let’s do it all again in four years shall we.
Pool report from @svdate.bsky.social, who is at the World Cup ceremony: "The president walked onto the field at 1826 to a sustained chorus of boos. Ambient crowd noise was about 78 decibels. Booing brought it to 84."
They're trying to play the music louder to drown the booing, to no avail.
Spain clearly deserved to win. But this guy is by far the best player I've ever seen.
People think this is boring, but it's been a better game than yesterday's Sunday league-level affair.
The movie "The Odyssey" is great. But if this was 1992, we would all be listening to the Bryan Adams power ballad hit "Making My Way to You (love theme from "The Odyssey")
Maybe they need testosterone injections, so they can be strong enough to crush those drones with their bare hands.

This is a sure sign that the right wing thinks Trump's speech last night was a dud. No coverage for 2 hours on "Fox & Friends," and Fox's website isn't leading with it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.incredible -- more than two hours into this morning's Fox & Friends, "fraud" has not been mentioned a single time and hosts haven't discussed Trump's big primetime speech at all. They have 787 million reasons to ignore it.
The same thing happened at the screening I went to here in Lisbon. Something I had only seen happening at film festivals or at the Lisbon Cinemateca.
