Some assorted little gems I found this weekend #MushroomMonday #shroomscrolling #fungifriends 🍄📷

The only "warrior ethos" we care about ...

Carrots and apples y'all

What rookie selected outside the lottery will have the biggest impact this NBA season? #NBASky

From @christopherkline.bsky.social, the NBA Draft analysis you didn't even know you needed.

"Other people always get reduced to shreds in an Isaac Chotiner interview, but not me, I'm built different."

Some Bear Lentinus spotted down by the river. #MushroomMonday #shroomscrolling #fungifriends 📷🍄

Elm oyster, chicken of the woods and some odds and ends from the garden today 🍄📷 🌱 #gardening #shroomscrolling

Luka Dončić doesn't miss.

Middle school open house for my 7th-grade tonight and his science teacher had the Ryan Simpson Paul Pierce print framed on the wall. I was giddy seeing another one in the wild. www.instagram.com/ball.debates...

So @christopherkline.bsky.social is officially a sicko for this, ranking the top 30 NBA Draft prospects of the last six seasons, including the upcoming 2026 class. #nbasky

The most important player for each team in the Southeast and why Jalen Johnson is the pivot point for the Hawks between good and great. fansided.com/nba/the-whit...

Wrote up an explainer on the Kawhi stuff to send to your casual non-hoops-obsessed friends when they ask what the deal is. fansided.com/nba/clippers...

Rubicon

A little bit of everything was ready in the garden today 🌱

These garden godzilla shiitakes kind of got away from me. Been so dry this summer I forgot to check the logs for a week or two

Dwight Howard was a lot more than just the NBA's premier clown. (Plus, he should have the MVP that went to Derrick Rose in 2011).

From the smalls to the talls, I ranked the best #NBA players this season at every height: fansided.com/nba/ranking-...

This makes me sick to my stomach

Hoperation complete!

Finally got some rain and this little guy popped right out of a stump by the lake. #fungifriends #fungifridays 📷🍄

Desperately need rain here in Vermont but there are still flowers popping. #bloomsky #bloomscrolling

And my oddest neighbor just flew by. I'm sure it's more complicated than it appears, but from the ground it looks very much like he's flying a parachute with a lawn chair and a box fan.

Three years after putting the trees in, we have our first real plum harvest. Well worth the wait

sharing this again because it's great, but also because BASKETBALL FEELINGS is 28 subscribers shy of cracking 5k if you like culturally critical, emotionally rich, out of the mainstream sportswriting, plus guest writers like @robertsilverman.bsky.social, well! www.basketballfeelings.com/subscribe

Visualizing WNBA single-game scoring by age in the wake of Dominique Malonga's back-to-back 20-point games as a teenager. Most American players don't enter the league until at least age 21 based on draft eligibility rules, so the youngest high scorers are all international players.

Sorry to the Warriors haters, but Draymond and Klay are absolutely locks.

Hi! Moving off of Substack has required a little more #hustle and #grind (yuck!) to get my newsletter in front of new people, so if you'd like to receive some jokes and pep talks in your email every Monday, I'd love if you'd subscribe! And I'd double-love if you wanted to pay!

Calendula, zinnia, phlox and cornflower.

Summer in Vermont is pretty okay. Evening at the swimming hole, some cute little mushrooms growing out of a mossy rock, garlic harvest and some ripe sungolds. Can't ask for much more. #fungifriends

Apparently, Google AI hallucinated that Luka had a 42-inch vertical, and it made its way into that Men's Health feature yesterday. So I went ahead and hallucinated about the time Luka won the dunk contest. Not going to let an LLM take my job without a fight.

The Substack app apparently push alert promoted a Nazi newsletter to several users. Users have complained about it on Substack Notes but the company hasn’t responded. Generally push alert promos are for content a user is likely to interact with

Here's my column on the latest gambling hullabaloo. It's partly the same thing I wrote about the last gambling hullabaloo, with one addendum. But based on what Luis Ortiz allegedly did, you can tell where these scandals are going and how they're going to need to be stopped.

Some good friends just had a baby and are struggling with a name. My wife remembered that I was, for a brief moment, insightful about this exact conundrum. medium.com/@HickoryHigh...

I cannot stop laughing at thissss 😩😂 #WNBA #DallasWings #EverybodyHatesChris

Fresh berry pie is miraculous

Nice evening to be hanging by the river

Wanted to self promote an article I wrote where I pretty much make a callout post against Philly media covering Joel Embiid. I've decided to indulge in all the unhealthy internet vices I avoided for so many years now that I have a regular writing thing. fansided.com/nba/craven-s...

"Your hair looks amazing lately!" Thanks, it's the gravy and cheese curds.

A few chantrelles and a few lobsters from today, plus a bunch of other interesting characters #fungifriends 📷🍄

My head is still spinning

It's berry season y'all

No. 10 is Bernie Sanders right? I'm not just dreaming?

Back to the river today to swim, saw a few baby chantrelles and some sort of bolete that is outside my repertoire. boletus luridellus maybe? #fungifriends 🍄📷

Lots of conks and polypores out on the Long Trail yesterday #fungifriends 🍄

A trio of homemade jams, over chevre -- spicy tomato, black currant and jalapeno
