Excellent column from @michaelarace1.bsky.social. The #CBJ, who usually get it right off the ice, have disgraced themselves with these moves. And btw simulcasts suck for the radio audience.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.
I checked all my plants for condensation this morning. I did my dew diligence.
May 25 in University District History: “The greatest 45 minutes in sports.” Buckeye, E 11th Ave resident (because he wasn’t allowed to live on campus), and Fastest Man Alive Jesse Owens sets 3 world records, ties 4th in 45 minutes at University of Michigan track meet. In 1935.
Forbes: “This Monkey Built a Banana Empire While Others Complained About Hunger”
A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

Olivier picked up 27 penalty minutes in that brawl for a fighting instigator, a fighting major, a 10-min misconduct for instigating and a 10-min game misconduct. So, he's in the room watching. #CBJ

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now
