An introvert that loves technology, a Southerner without an accent. I'm full of contradictions.

But also, RSN certainly reminded people why they’re widely hated in this. The post itself wasn’t the worst transgression - it was largely worded with the nuance it should have been. But Carrier basically taking a victory lap today is a reminder of what a POS he is.

So now that it’s sadly been confirmed, there’s a conversation about reporting news that should be had at some point (as is the case every time a breaking news event happens), but that’s for another day. Even though I didn’t follow his career closely, Andy Williams was fascinating and cool to me.

Took the Williams post down, because people are illiterate. I say “this is an early report” and “IF it’s true…” and people are getting hung up on the RN link. The fact their owner is a shitty aggregator and human doesn’t change the fact the *original* source appears to be acting in good faith.

On a lighter note: first off, good for all of them. Second, the fact this still happens is wild. It feels like in MLB, 90 percent of umpires are like how Joey Crawford was in basketball: picking fights, making themselves the center of attention.

Clips from “Suits” have been popping up in my YouTube feed, and Louis has to be one of my favorite characters in recent memory because of how painfully unaware he is 95% of the time.

You gotta feel for the Clippers here. They’re getting hit pretty hard here for something they said was “probably false” when @pablo.show first broke the story. I also look forward to Pablo doing a six-month victory tour on this sports. At least, that’s what I would do

@mlblockout2027.bsky.social when replying to the player rep at the beginning of the game, is there any possible custom reply that they’ll take favorably? I’ve had them praise my opening statement only to bash me the next day. And no matter how I reply they complain I’m withholding details.

Listen…regardless of what you think about Ospreay’s comments comparing WWE to AEW, you can’t look at how he was presented tonight and somehow think he made the wrong choice. They booked him like a god.

I only learned today about Floyd Mayweather’s law firm. I have many questions, but I’ll start with just this one. How can you have 200+ attorneys with 50+ years experience? So each attorney has been in the profession for three months on average?

Maybe my favorite part of this game is being able to do custom responses with AI impact scoring. If POTUS tweets at you and says you’re doing a shit job, you can tell him to STFU and the public may like it. But if Ohtani complains and you tell him to worry about his gambling problems…not so much.

These threads were an hour apart. If it’s engagement farming, he’s doing a great job. If it’s satire it’s incredible. If he’s serious there’s no way he has any friends.

Screenshot of two consecutive Threads posts by user “atheistadam,” discussing the reported death of Dolly Parton at age 80. The first post says she was the fourth of 12 children, raised in a one-room cabin in the Tennessee mountains, graduated high school on a Friday, left for Nashville the next day, and became known for her big blonde hair and flashy clothes. The second post explains that as a child, Dolly admired a woman in town who wore piled-high blonde hair, bright lipstick, high heels, and flashy clothes, despite others calling her the “town tramp,” and decided that was how she wanted to look. The posts show engagement icons and counts.Screenshot of two consecutive Threads posts by “atheistadam,” part of a six-post series about Dolly Parton. The first says Parton deserves more scrutiny than the “saintly” version of her legacy receives. It acknowledges her philanthropy, including the Imagination Library’s distribution of hundreds of millions of books and donations to disaster relief, education, and medical research, while arguing there was a contradiction between the woman who wrote “9 to 5” and the economic position she later occupied. The second post says Parton became extremely wealthy through businesses and intellectual property associated with her name. It discusses Dollywood, co-owned with Herschend, and claims many frontline workers were paid below MIT’s estimated living-wage level for Sevier County, while noting that Parton did not personally set every wage, Dollywood offered benefits such as tuition assistance, and those facts should be considered. The screenshot shows engagement counts and a “View 4 more” indicator.

Based on my limited understanding, it seems the WNBA has not always had the best relationship with its players. But it seems like their owners are more willing to back up their players than owners and other leagues. Nice to see the Sky owner called out this clown for what he is

If it hasn’t been done, someone should create a Charlie Kirk lawsuit tracker to track all the cases involving people who were illegally arrested, fired, etc. for social media posts post-killing. I’m curious to see how much money has been paid out in damages and settlements as a result.

“In an interview with OPA investigators, Sayles admitted that he did not read either of the initiatives he accused his own detective of lying about before filing his complaint, according to OPA’s investigation file.” Good thing being CHIEF OF POLICE doesn’t require attention to detail or anything

Interim Police Chief Sayles Filed Complaint Against Hate Crimes Detective for Speaking At Pro-LGBTQ Rally “Any further investigation would violate [the detective’s] constitutional rights and open the city to a lawsuit,” an investigator concluded when dismissing Sayles’ complaint.
