I'm trying to log in to buy tickets for the Olympics from my home Spectrum network, and they're blocking me. Cool.

Finally catching up on The Crewcible by @michaelarace1.bsky.social with an appearance by @morganhughes.bsky.social, and I agree that it's *bonkers* that we have to bribe billionaires to invest in communities. Carnegie would be appalled.

I had heard about this, but I was not prepared. This isn't a *similar* photo to the Donovan photo, it's a straight homage.

I'm so annoyed at the AI slop pollution everywhere. Really poisoning the well for productive uses of AI that add value to society.

This set is *massive*. Future Brian is gonna have a hell of a time figuring out where to put this. Not my concern, however.

A bunch of old men on here would've been very excited if that had been a goal. #Crew96

So, is Presthus playing a kind of right back without the ball / center midfield with the ball role? #Crew96

Encouraged by the free kicks Gazdag has hit tonight. #Crew96

Hugo Picard, world class number 9 at hold up play, apparently. #Crew96

Well done, Hugo. #Crew96

Some of these guys are just a little *too* brave on the ball lmao #Crew96

Now I remember (part of) why I hate Paramount+ so much. I have to change my network DNS settings to turn off add blocking or the app is completely bricked. #Crew96

God damnit (Donut), tonight's match is on Paramount+? #Crew96

I actually liked what Jared Issacman had to say during press conferences while Artemis II was going on, but his ties to the commercial space industry make me anxious.

Good god. I hope the soccer prices here in Columbus aren't that insane. My window opens Thursday.

I watched a League One game in person last year and those teams were perhaps better than Orlando. This is a bad result. #Crew96

Can't believe I have to work tomorrow morning after paying a bunch of money for overpriced beer and watching us tie perhaps the worst team I've ever seen. #Crew96

Not why we lost - we are bad - but that was atrocious game management by the official. #Creq96

That goal completely changed the mood in the stands. #Crew96

This fucker should NEVER officiate a match again. That drop ball was criminal. #Crew96

Twice now Picard has called for the ball from fans when it went into th stands. WE ARE LOSING. WHY ARE BOT IMMEDIATELY TOSSING IT TO HIM. #Crew96

Bullshit no call on the penalty, and then a ridiculous caution for Moreira. #Crew96

Taha immediately into the false 9 role he played with the youth national teams #Crew96

You know, the guy that did a drive by taunting of Ali when he was down injured should've been cautioned. #Crew96

I saw a nice video about the interaction between beloved but flawed works and their problematic authors, and what constitutes "moral" interaction with those works. #Crew96

One of these two is trying to sell a product, and people know it.

Right. Well. I need to figure out how to wind down. I'll consume the press conferences sure to come later.

Artemis crew definitely took the scenic route to go from Florida to SoCal.

Holy shit, I'm anxious. #ArtemisII

A lot of the early evidence in this article is not particularly convincing - these are common views for a certain set of political positions - but when layered with some of the evidence at the end it presents a pretty compelling case. Not proof, but a hell of a lot of smoke.

The more I read about the dust-up between the Trump regime and the Vatican the crazier it gets. An adult convert to Catholicism (real ones know) who is Undersecretary of War for Policy was meeting with a bishop at the Pentagon and threatened the Vatican to get in line at risk of military force.

After two novels read, I can highly recommend the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Funny, absurd, some real stakes, and if you've played RPGs (especially computer ones) you're gonna find a lot to laugh at.

Biggest own goal in American history.

Tucker is one of the few far-right figures who is reasonably good at personal risk assessment. He knows damn well that there will be consequences to the war crimes Trump has committed and plans to commit in Iran. And he doesn't want to wind up like Julius Streicher some day.

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

I Photoshop Neel into things… Day 225 #StarWars

Wow.

I've watched almost 9 hours of Artemis live video today. (Sure, not all of it was my undivided attention, but still)

I can't wait for the hi res photos of this eclipse.

One of the coolest things about having the Artemis livestream open is watching the moon get closer and the perspective change. Slowly, but the images are very different between 1pm and now

I wonder if the moon wasn't tidally locked if we wouldn't have fewer flat earth weirdos.

Artemis astronauts are taking notes in OneNote. I wonder if they have a caching server onboard? Or is client caching on the PCDs sufficient? They've got a LOT of bandwidth, but they will be radio silent in a few hours when the pass behind the moon.

Morg and I had intended to go to Coral Beach for one day at the end of our Disney vacation, but she got sick and we aborted to crash an extra day at a hotel in Orlando before flying home. It's too bad, I haven't been to Cape Canaveral since I was young. Would've been timely with the Artemis mission

I have zero interest in work right now lol. I'm trying to watch space stuff! Leave me alone!

AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE

I LOVE that we can get so much live information on the Artemis mission. This is incredible.

Is this what the Apollo missions were like? I mean, I suspect we have WAY more access and video than before, since I'm streaming live on YouTube. But still this is incredible.

Orlando are so bad. My god.

Well, applicable to the coach dustup too. What the hell. #Crew96
