One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Hear me out: Curling, but with ducks

What I'm really good at

What I lost in Twitter, I found in Bluesky.

This seems worth the 45 minute drive.

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

Darnold to the Super Bowl. Sheesh.

somebody turned this goalie fight into an independent film

This is how stats works. Trust me, I’m a doctor.

Good morning. Coffee clinks to you. It’s a cold one out there. Stay safe. Stay warm.

This morning @dtw.nws-bot.us was saying only a dusting to an inch of snow for the metro Detroit area. (First pic) It’s now been snowing since 10am and we’ve got 5 inches or more out there. (Second pic) Stay safe out there, folks.

A childhood friend of mine lives in West St. Paul, and has publicly shared his account of what’s going on in Minnesota with his FB friends this evening. Kevin runs the West St. Paul Reader, a hyper-local news site based in his community. Here’s his post: 1/6

Our youngest pup curled up in the office with me today. She looked so peaceful.

Just had to go out and weight down my recycle bin after it flipped over and my lights flickered a few times this morning. Wind advisory for almost all of Michigan today, including Detroit. Stay safe out there. #MiWX

Hanging out in the main surgery waiting room this morning. My MIL is having arthroscopic surgery to remove precancerous cells from her lungs. Really glad they caught it early. Praying for a successful surgery and recovery. #Family

Super foggy this morning in the metro Detroit area. There’s an 11 story building at the end of the parking lot in this picture… but you can’t even see it. Stay safe out there.

Michigan be lying like that

Glasgow making it into the latest French Fuse mashup. Just wait until the end. #Lions #OnePride youtube.com/shorts/p707H...

It’s winter fleet time in Sturgeon Bay. The Interlake Steamship Comany’s 997 footer James R Barker came yesterday about 2am 🌊🌊 📸 ➡️ Rosann Hollinger

Listened to a Synthwave station this morning during my commute. What kind of ear candy is in that sound. It's so good.

So. An 8-9 team is going to win the NFC South. Cool story. <Narrator>: “In fact, for Lions fans… it was not a cool story.”

I made a starter pack of the Great Lakes "live" accounts. Please follow it for a bit of joy on the Blue Sky timeline this year. Every 30 minutes, an image of....Duluth! Rochester! Mackinaw City! Isle Royale! Thousand Islands, ON! Sault Ste. Marie! Toronto! (Yes I am a dork) go.bsky.app/59XoiXd

Happy New Year, folks. Be safe. Stay warm. Be blessed.

I remember when getting phone calls used to be so exciting that we used to buy ring tones. Now only spammers call me and I plan to never hear my phone ring ever again.

Took the dogs out this morning at 6am. Home temp gauge says it’s 29°. It actually didn’t seem too bad. It’s windy but not freeze your face cold just yet. Not gonna lie though… I was in shorts and a hoodie when I took them out at 10:45pm last night. It was 56°. Felt like summer.

since just asking for dms didn't work out as i expected, i'll just say it here: i'm gifting a 3-months Sponsor deck.blue membership for artists on bluesky! just reach me out on the dms to get it and be able to schedule posts! requirements: 1k+ followers, don't use ai and keep posting real art!

Lions fan here. I saw A LOT of issues with the Netflix stream. But nothing Netflix could've fixed... trust me. #OnePride

Just heard a big crash in the back yard. Tree has been dead for about a year. I guess now I don’t have to pay someone to fell it for me. Just glad it didn’t damage any property. I’ve and wind are wreaking havoc out here.

Oof. Power went out for a few minutes. Then back on and off a few times. Power is back on now, and waiting for the internet to boot back up. Ice is taking down power lines in the area. Be safe out there folks. #MIwx

Oh no... just saw this picture on FB from Dave Bondy. He said the Zilwaukee Bridge is closed due to multiple accidents related to the ice storm. #MIwx

Raining at a good clip out here in the NW Detroit 'burbs. Haven't gone outside yet, but things are looking icy. Be safe out there, folks. #MIwx

Just didn’t expect to hit “Lose Twice to Vikings and Packers” on my Lions Bingo Card this year. Because that’s how you miss the playoffs, plain and simple. #OnePride

Six turnovers and an OL who can’t run block or keep even the semblance of a pocket. Another miserable week of Detroit football. #OnePride

That Corona ad is so classic. I can hear this picture.

Me, a Lions fan: Why would they challenge that? Football gods: Oh, you know why. #NFL

Wasn’t even a bob. He just lifted his head to look at the defense before snapping the ball.

Oh. Had to Google who Seth Rollins is. He’s a pro wrestler and is on the pregame show. No wonder I couldn’t remember what team he might’ve played for. #Netflix #NFL

Wait. Teeth?

This between-the-legs, back pass by van Riemsdyk to Larkin is ridiculous.
