You're all welcome at my Gales of November/Circulatory System in the Kitchen themed party which one assumes will rage until all hours but actually ends abruptly at 7 pm. As you can imagine the cooks all ran off so bring your own snacks...

Mariners and tigers Bluesky fans united in being emotionally exhausted and suffering together on the timeline is why I love this place.

Tarik Skubal has set a new #Postseason record with 7 consecutive strikeouts 🤯 h/t @EliasSports

Skattebo is fun as hell to watch.

One thing I never saw anyone talk about with this is how desperate and bad the idea was in the first place: I was a server at Bill Knapps when they decided to "rebrand" for young people instead of old people with wrinkled coupons cut out of the newspaper as their core customer. 1/2

I'm not NOT licking toads!

Maybe the real rapture is the friends we lost along the way.

Man there is no place like Bluesky when you’re watching your team do great things. Just amplifies the good vibes. Loins feeling it right now.

Saw a post on here about Disney stock “collapsing” and it’s a chart showing like a 3-4% decline over three days. I feel like there are so many issues where people get giddy or draw wild conclusions based on zero knowledge of what they’re talking about. Learn how things work or don’t post maybe?

Experiencing events like this on social media over time, one of the problems with media/journalism maybe really boils down to this: Some media folks are not great at processing new situations effectively in real time but feel the need to comment anyway. Narratives are shaped from guessing or worse.

Here's a bit of morning optimism: Get your shots now while you can, and your window of protection could likely outlast this administration. I'm getting my pokes tonight!

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

This is my first opening CFB day on Bluesky and it is NOT disappointing. Love the energy.

Really excited to talk about college football on here today and gather the tears of the “sportsball is a waste of time and also fascist because the world isn’t perfect yet” crowd in a little digital jar.

“Preeeeettty Niiice!”

At the Volbeat concert at Pine Knob tonight and my #music hot take is come for the opening bands. They’re often awesome and when you’re a performer nothing is as fulfilling as a response from a crowd. Speaking of which Ghost Inside are a pretty sick band. Check them out.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

@melaltersmith.bsky.social and #TeachLivingPoets helped me realize how collaborative, insightful, and meaningful poetry can be in EVERY classroom. So grateful for the lesson ideas, guidance, and those fleeting Twitter chats! This post reminded me of that work, and has some great poetry linked!

Slightly diminish a band: The Regional

The Lions say Morice Norris is in stable condition and has movement in all his extremities. Some good news after a scary night. The latest: www.freep.com/story/sports...

With its return tonight I just have to say it out loud: #Platonic is an insanely better and more fun, watchable show than The Studio (which was just fine). I feel like shows about the industry just always get weird praise regardless of actual quality?

Had the same problem. This is the only solution we found too!

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

I saw the Tim Burton remake of planet of the apes on opening night and there were people in ape costumes. An hour in you could feel the disappointment in the theater but then (spoiler) they showed the Lincoln memorial with an ape face and someone shouted “APEraham Lincoln” and the crowd went wild.

TENNCARE IS MEDICAID 1.6 Million Tennesseans are on it 310,000 Tennesseans will lose it because Republicans just cut $1 TRILLION from it This is what Medicaid is called in your state:

Bluesky LITERALLY just went through a fight about “sports bad” with a subgenre of super leftists like four days ago. These guys think ANY human being who is liberal is “The Left” I think? Idk how you fix it but they take any individual extreme view they hear as the party position of all dems.

“He’s easily bruising. He has bone pain. He looks pale .… He has also lost his appetite …. His mom is terrified that these are symptoms that his leukemia situation might be deteriorating.” A 6-year-old with cancer is languishing in a U.S. detention camp. Who will answer for this cruelty?

Crazy how many people I find on Bluesky who are good at articulating a simple thing that establishment dems can’t seem to get to come out of their mouths. So weird!

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

There's actually an extremely large scholarly literature about this. With some regularity, dictators order their troops to shoot protestors, the troops are like "wtf no," and then the dictator falls. I'll dig ho and dump some cites below in a second

The accidentally useful terms on here are amazing. Disapoofed. Nausaged. Amazing.

Gross #nhl opening drops the ball with AI animated photos from past teams and ruins an otherwise pretty good dramatic intro to the finals. So sick of AI slop everywhere.

All the replies to this are delightful but also it’s all mostly making me want Weird Al to make one more album… Also: Robble Up (feat. The Hamburglar)

So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Add your comment here regarding the decision to restrict access to Covid boosters to 65+.

“Without her mother she doesn’t know how she’ll get to her treatments.” ICE grabs the mother and brother of a 21 year old 🇺🇸 citizen with cancer, leaving her without a caretaker. (She had to be carried from her car for the interview) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGpFscH...

At the very least this is a top contender for Most Original "The Pope is from Chicago" joke. Also it's just really funny and a great reference.

It's funny when a public event occurs where there are a few very low-hanging fruit jokes so your timeline fills up with the same skeet from everyone you follow but it's been like half an hour now and I'm BEGGING everyone to please check your timeline before publishing your hilarious pope joke...

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie Two Million Dollar Baby

Goggle problems for the jockeys, you say?

Zuck: The average American has three friends.

Hello Lions fans. Let's try this BlueSky again. For the time being @perfett.bsky.social will be running the account and posting articles and some thoughts on behalf of the POD staff. Be sure to join us tonight on Twitch and YouTube for our live streaming coverage of the NFL draft!

Watch me stay completely inside the lines on OnlyCrayons

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

Brunson’s game is such trash. Always playing for the foul. The refs are happy to oblige.

Not to try and out-nerd the Smithsonian here but technically the opposite would be the sea is the bug of the shrimp. This bad joke is really just to get you to check out a cool article. Enjoy!

Plea to media friends: STOP posting the dehumanizing images of piles of detainees in CECOT, people handcuffed by ICE in the US etc. There are easy to find photos of the HUMAN BEINGS. e.g. This mom is Elsy Berrios, 52, ICE agents smashed her car window and grabbed her. No charges. THREAD

Okay everyone, I want to see something - anyone who's a member of the UAW who isn't supportive of the tariffs let me know (DMs are going to be open). Especially anyone in the non-automotive sectors, but open to anyone.
