I increased their numbers and now they hide much less. There’s 15 in there I believe, though it is comically hard to count a group of identical, fast-moving objects.

@dirtbagqueer.rocks my wife @laurenmorrill.bsky.social bought your book and read it and loved it and now her book club in Knoxville is reading it!

Saw Bluesky described as where elder millennials go to retire from the internet, and immediately felt the peace that passes all understanding wash over me. None of have to struggle any longer. We completed our time.

Myles Garrett can still save 2025 by ending Aaron Rodgers today. I’d love it for … Cleveland. For Cleveland.

The value of YouTube for pod is not the visuals — it’s the discoverability of the algorithm and the centrality of the marketplace. Assuming people listen to pod on YouTube because they want visuals is like assuming that people listen to music on YouTube because they enjoy looking at an album cover.

Am I doing it right

Life hack: If you get bored during the 3-minute outro of this song, try rapping the entire Fresh Prince theme on top. youtu.be/9-5IIx4R6E8?...

As an internet cook, I am tired of being held responsible for the fact that no one agrees what demi-glace is.

If Trump defenestrates Susie Wiles, I reckon that will make the White House a much less effective and functional organization, which is probably a net good. So 🤞.

Well, Mr. Savage, I’ll counter your largely anecdotal account with my own. I was 32 in 2014, working in media. Being an enthusiastic, if imperfect, advocate for diversity in my industry proved to be of mutual benefit to me and my historically underrepresented colleagues. I screwed up a bunch…

Old man Rivers!!

Dude pinball Uhura is a brick house. And McCoy ain’t skipping shoulder day.

Does the Fed have any rates that aren’t “key”? Is that an adjective we can strike right out of the copy?

My head every time Jahan Dotson catches the ball.

Kareem Hunt is a human captive bolt gun.

Wanted to find out what new fast food delight is being constructed on a parcel near us, went on a public records dive, still no answer, BUT…

Look at my green neon tetras settling in! Tiny schooling fish, don’t get any bigger than that. I’ve wanted some since @benjaminahr.mobi got them. Yes they’re blue not green but they’re called green.

One bad ombré.

As a longtime local broadcast newsman, I’m pleased to report that the best Chiefs post-game talk is, consistently, from a grumpy sports producer for channel 41 in Kansas City who’s pissed he had to come into work for this. youtu.be/B5leYPs6-Dg?...

Surprise! More Than A Feeling, my older brother’s best friend, enemies to lovers spicy romcom starring a hot hockey disaster and the feisty library who hates him, is FREE until November 30th! www.amazon.com/More-Than-Fe... #romancelandia

Why do fake sexy lady accounts follow me on bluesky of all places? How the hell is that revenue-generating for someone? What does this business model even look like?

I’m a mid-tier YouTuber making great-but-still-within-the-realm-of-normalcy money and I spend so much time and energy fretting about the ethics of sponsor deals I take. Meanwhile here’s Mr. Major Hollywood Star just doing fucking gambling ads for another million to throw on the pile. Dispiriting.

Tfw you’ve had way too much leaf.

Nick Saban wants to do away with the talent portion of the pageant. www.si.com/college-foot...

Pruned my shrimp bowl so they have room to swim again. Most of these guys were born in here. It’s just a fishbowl with aqua soil in the bottom and pearl weed. No filter, no light, no heater. Just in a window. Change some water every now and then and wipe the glass. A fun thing that anyone could do!

The Texans look like a school of ember tetras tonight.

Tried to get a shot of a new tattoo, got a shot of the hottest lady I know. @laurenmorrill.bsky.social

Fig tree drops all leaves after a cold snap, looks like a person who just dropped their towel. “Don’t look at my fruit!”

The man-dog eating its own tail is an ancient symbol of death and rebirth.

Remember when Ozzy had to testify in a wrongful death suit against him because he once sang a song about suicide?

Fall colors

I’ve never seen a funnier comment on this internet.

My babies catching some afternoon rays.

Big if true

Our health insurance is going up by a third this year, even though we’ve never received any of the subsidies that are expiring. More expensive insurance for poor people means more expensive insurance for all people.

Love it when people say “full stop” and then keep going.

Admittedly pedantic 🧵 The phrase “keep your powder dry” does NOT mean “hold your fire” or “ration your resources,” or “don’t act prematurely,” or anything of the sort, even though that’s how everyone uses it.

Like 12 years ago I wrote a piece for slate arguing that “terrorist” had become a loaded, incoherent term that journalists should generally avoid. Report what people do instead of labeling what they are, etc. The danger being that people would start to call anyone they don’t like a terrorist. Well..

The new suburban H&H Bagel outside Knoxville is an appalling dilution of the original NYC brand. Indistinguishable from grocery store bagels.

Lots of the arguments about why Graham Platner’s past shouldn’t be disqualifying are very good arguments about someone other than Graham Platner.

This is exactly the ad you would make if you were making an ad for freebasing cocaine.

A first in five years in the new house! The afternoon sun was just right to bounce of my small fish pond and onto the living room ceiling.

I will say, I was feeling like this week was the week the bad guys finally won. Today I feel a little better, and if that’s all this ritual got me, I’ll take it.

East Tennessee: On the side of freedom since 1861

FWIW I think the primary purpose of the new Trump agency bsky accounts is probably to attract replies they can use as evidence of how unreasonable we are here. Not telling you what to do, but I plan to not give them any oxygen.

My kingdom for a body that melts into its sleeping surface.

Over here we spell it No Tirants.

Indoctrinating the youths today. Central thesis: bureaucracy does many good things, actually. Corollary: the alternatives are far worse.

FWIW, when Consumer Reports started looking at lead in protein powder a few years ago, the subsequent scholarly follow-up yielded much less alarming results. Not saying the new CR work is bad, but I’m waiting to see how it’s received by the toxicology community. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
