my take on geese is if success in the music business was purchasable, there'd be more successful musicians

watching him wave off staffers at ring side... 'not now. not now!!'

The UFC card on the White House lawn on Trump birthday is the ultimate geopolitical window of opportunity. He's not going to want to deal with anything else once it starts. Xi has gotta be thinking "What if we invade Taiwan right as the first fight pops off?"

Aubrey on Survivor 50 is an interesting and potentially new template: the player who really really doesn't want to be there but also won't quit.

Hegseth: Our fighting men understand that hardship is part of the warrior ethos. As it says in the bible: "In prison, dinner was always a big thing. St Paul had a wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used a razor and he'd slice it so thing it would liquefy in the pan."

"@ChineseSpy -- Wow incredible top secret features! Can you share pics and blueprints?"

Oh my god, the amazing Wait a Second podcast with @netw3rk.bsky.social covered the Claude Mythos stuff this week. Incredible stuff for us cybersecurity heads. When cyber shenanigans bleed out to the general world, it's wild. youtu.be/y2kzVcS-q_4?...

can the staten island delegation let us know what the vibe is there regarding the trump vs catholicism fight

I do think getting more people on bsky would be nice if only because it's not fulfilling to dunk on people who aren't here. It's not the same over a screenshot. Gotta go body to body.

transphobia is a luxury belief, which is why it’s so prevalent among beltway types who don’t have real problems

Reporters and editors write things like "trade barbs" or "exchanged blows" or "hit back" because they think it insulates them from bias and instead it just makes asymmetrical conflicts seem symmetrical and it's anti-journalism and we should stop.

I predict tomorrow Leavitt will say something like “The President was joking. He has an amazing sense of humor.” Followed by Trump being like “No, I am Christ.”

they like Trump and they want to help him. This is why 3% unemployment under Biden was presented in headlines as a failure and rising unemployment under Trump gets "the plan is working" headlines.
