Every round of discourse about this place starts from a conscious decision to ignore the fact that we are all well aware Bluesky is a retirement home for posters. That’s why we’re here in the first place. We’re here to answer prompts about movies and bands we’ve seen and wait for It to happen.

I fear I’ve been hit by a small invisible bus. I should probably go to bed.

If you’re not from New York, choosing to root for the Yankees is a sign of low moral character. Choosing to root for the Knicks, however, indicates empathy, an understanding of tragedy, and possibly masochism.

It’s probably for the best that I’m working the polls today. All of the games I’m following are uncomfortably close.

RIP Rob Base. (Also: RIP my youth. I found out about his passing because I follow AARP on Instagram.)

I have questions about who built it.

We found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

browsing the #WNBA hashtag and what are these weird posts/bots retweeting what @danaholtzbert.bsky.social and @richardcohen.bsky.social just posted

The UK version of “Saturday Night Live” is now available on Peacock.

Lamenting the decline of public transit cards as cheap travel souvenirs while celebrating the shift here in LA.

“Brutalist beauty” is an accurate, if oxymoronic, descriptor of DC Metro stations. It feels like you’re entering an underground world from the future every time you go into a station. LA could’ve learned some lessons. I’m not convinced its stations are designed for ridership.

BIJAN is a big local immigrant support organization, and they've had to suspend their immigration detention bond fund because it's so oversubscribed due to the horrors that it's out of cash. Do them a solid if you can? www.beyondbondboston.org/donate

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

Knicks won. Sparks won. Liberty decided not to make it a basketball trifecta.

Had a nice time at tonight’s @datadonuts.la happy hour. Thanks for hosting it.

Suarez nowhere near the record for quickest foul-out, by the way. Sharon Manning somehow picked up 6 fouls in 4:49 back in 2000. Alaina Coates is the only one who's gotten anywhere close to that in the last 20 years. #WNBA

If Knicks win the title, Mamdani gets to be Mayor for Life. Those are the rules.

Lemme get my pennies together now.

The State of CSS 2026 survey is out! These survey's are a huge signal to the browser makers on what people want, and the more people fill the out, the better that information is. survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

This is a great video that puts a human face and personal story to the incredible quantitative research on moving chains done by Evan Mast and others. I think it's going to have a big impact. youtube.com/watch?si=pm9t2HI0WtzV1zMp&v=QQYMUMTI7fk&feature=youtu.be

And then the most powerful and influential venture capital firm in the country hired the murderer who killed my neighbor solely and specifically because he was a Black man, which means every person in tech who wants to work in the startup ecosystem has to be complicit with this kind of depravity.

Nothing more LA than scoring through traffic 😤

lookin just like her sister

Oh …

Sveindís is out too? Oh no.

Don’t really like having avocados in the house. Too much pressure.

It was Cleveland 93-71 with 7:40 to go. The Knicks outscored the Cavs 44-11 over the next 12-plus minutes. One of the grossest, most hilarious collapses in NBA Playoffs history.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOO

The bingiest of bongs to you and yours!

NBA teams were 3-747 when down by 20 or more in the 4th quarter of a playoff game over the last 30 years. They are now 4-747. Knicks come back from 22 in the fourth quarter, the second-largest 4th quarter comeback in the playoffs in the play-by-play era (since 1997).

I just knew the #Knicks were going to lose game 1. Holy fuck what a comeback.

if there's no value to publishers in letting Google reference them, they should not let Google access their content.

Some stuff on my to do list ain’t getting done today. 🤷🏽‍♀️

YOOOOOOOOOOO! This is incredible!

TOP TIER HALFTIME ENTERTAINMENT!

Does this include HBCUs too, or just power conference schools?

*Looks at the current administration* … yeah that tracks.

never expected someone to fill the Manute Bol & Michael Jordan space of the venn diagram

There’s a level of crestfallen you only experience when somebody does some shit like this against your team in a basketball game.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

➡️ A fast-moving brush fire, the Sandy Fire, is burning in Ventura County, CA. The wind direction has reversed and additional evacuations have been issued for areas to the east of the fire, with new Evacuation Warnings also in Los Angeles County. ➡️ Crews are scaling up fast, working on... 🧵

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.
