Also…Josh Harris? As in, Commanders owner Josh Harris?

College adjunct since 2018, here. This is absolute drivel.

A person I generally like said something to the effect of “all your favorite comedians are performing there” so I looked at the list and turns out that none of my favorite comedians are performing there, just a lot of people I expected to be on the list!

Using my lunch break to go get that bag

The only players in MLB history to have played fewer than 13 career seasons and accumulated more than José Ramirez’s 57.5 bWAR: Mookie Betts Aaron Judge Jackie Robinson

I have not yet run the numbers through my model for @baseballprospectus.com yet (and won’t until the season is done), but here’s a reminder of where things were at the All-Star break www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Your goal shouldn’t be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wagons.

Just happened on Kimmel’s show last night on YouTube, which came up in the first few items (I have never watched a clip of his, that I recall). 16 million views as of right now, which is nine times his recent nightly viewership

This is how, as a news organization, you can write a completely straightforward, accurate post while still including all of the relevant information for the reader to understand with clarity exactly what’s happening

The second-highest-ranking public official in America rushing to post about state agents being the target of violence when it was actually the people those agents detained is a pretty good encapsulation of how deeply poisoned everything is right now www.wfaa.com/article/news...

make the shofar your co-star at the synagogue of success

I literally said out loud “oh, it’s a movie” at the end because it somehow looks smaller and less impressive than the actual TV show? Anyway, I hit my fatigue point on this franchise a couple years ago and this did nothing to turn that tide

Can someone tell me when the rapture is supposed to happen so I can try to plan my drive to teach class around it?

Probably not a great sign for our democracy, but at least the search engines are still semi-functional

They brought the therapy dogs to our building today, so of course I had to stop by

Had anyone ever written something on whatever celebrity it was who broke the seal on celebrities doing commercials in the U.S.? Because I hate it all so much

As a regular at Cava, I’m gonna need to know at which location this occurred

Heard on Sunday Night Baseball: “You have to go to Sacramento to play Oakland…”

Pretty classic Cal sleeper game tonight. Gonna need to wake up and start treating this like a real game sometime soon

Let’s see if this reported scandal/cover-up story, which would be enough to sink any prior administration, is even front-page news across the board this week

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

We’re in the fracturing arc of the media organization cycle, which means it’s up to us to support individuals like Alan to ensure their work continues until something new (and, hopefully, better and more sustainable) can be built. You may notice a connection to the broader culture, here

Everything sucks and I lost a friend today. Now more than ever, let the people you care about know it wtop.com/inside-wtop/...

Oh, hello

As someone who teaches college level journalism, helping students understand how to think is at the root of everything I’ve ever tried to impart (and it’s why AI is largely ineffective for my class)

Stuff like this is really the only reason I spend any time on this site

Is that good

Man, this was five years ago, but it feels like 15 noahafrank.medium.com/mike-bloombe...

*Jimmy Fallon logging on to update his bio to “No. 2 ranked late-night host” while impatiently awaiting the end of Colbert’s contract*

A lifetime of watching and covering sports has infected my brain in the very particular way that I just went to add a house repair appointment for our sink to my to-do list and spelled it “Plummer”

Correlation not causation and all that, but I just keep looking at this graphic and getting the going-over-the-top-of-the-rollercoaster feeling in my stomach about the next few years

I need the professionals to weigh in on whether this is a leading recession indicator @mobute.bsky.social @davidjroth.bsky.social

I sincerely hope it’s not too much to ask to both shine more of a light on both of these tragedies while also waiting for more information before wildly speculating about what happened to two very different people, more than 100 miles apart, on the same day

Whopper whopper whopper whopper

Went to look up some fruit-based ice cream recipes and I don’t think we’re gonna make it guys

Russell Wilson on my bench Doo-da, Doo-da

How's this for a start?

There’s been a general sense of irrelevance around and indifference to the team for a while now, but I hadn’t realized it had gotten this bad

Congrats to Georgia Tech for making that as stressful and unlikely to succeed as possible yet still somehow pulling it off

Hello it’s a beautiful Saturday to go outside or watch college football or do literally anything other than let the very worst and least honest people in our society take up any more space in your brain

This has been a terrible week. Let’s cleanse the timeline with something good that happened. I’ll start: I just improvised this Asian pear tarte tatin from scratch

This feels like required reading for anyone working in a newsroom who is covering the shooting and its aftermath

Ah, yes, the free speech site

Oh look, another piece of one of my unfinished books unfolding in real life bsky.app/profile/scha...

Folks

I’m indifferent to the fool-and-his-money aspect of this, but it’s really depressing to think about what kind of damage this will do long-term to these kids

Our old newsroom motto was “get it right, then get it first.” Anyway

Feel like I’ve seen almost nothing from what happened at the Naval Academy, so here it is: False alarm of an active shooter, but a midshipman mistook an officer for the alleged shooter, assaulted him, and the officer shot him www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/u...

All of your “non-political” friends and family who aren’t really paying attention are going to be rudely surprised in the coming weeks

Being asked which ad experience I prefer is such a dehumanizing aspect of this stage of capitalism
