Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

FYI: @aarp.org has been a strong supporter of housing choice for years, particularly ADUs which they note allows for inter-generational living, aging in place for older adults & better access to communities & needed resources. They even wrote a step by step reform guide! www.aarp.org/pri/topics/l...

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

it was genuinely strange seeing a tent pole Hollywood super hero movie where the military-industrial complex was categorically not the "good guys" felt like watching a movie from Bizarro World

Say it with us now…

no foul called… and apple tv didn’t even show a replay 😭 @andrew-wiebe.bsky.social

Back in The Heartbeat Kit. 😍 Tonight's threads, presented by AustinTelco!

Nobody's ever really captured, to my satisfaction, the way that the internet -- though it promises infinitude, all of human experience & history & art & thought in one place -- has instead produced a kind of narrowing & flattening of experience, made the world seem *less* magic & full of wonder.

Among the perks of tuning in to the local #AustinFC radio call: -Knowing what is happening. (Apple and FOX announcers were off-site, at the mercy of whatever the director was showing them and the audience.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey6J...

@andrew-wiebe.bsky.social is this not a red?

Two years ago, we had 0 businesses—now we have 21. Friday was the first day all of them were open. The Paseo was bustling as our new pottery studio hosted its first class. The beer garden was full & the vintage store was popping. Exciting year ahead at Culdesac Tempe!

I've seen a lot of talk in Austin FC media/fan spaces about need for a number 10, so I wanted to see what's worked in MLS recently. There's little correlation with just having a primary chance creator and "success." There's a lot of nuance beyond that. Data/analysis: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

🟢👨‍🍳 Austin FC's huge offseason with five key signings so far: 🇦🇱 Myrto Uzuni: $12.3m (DP) 🇺🇸 Brandon Vazquez: $10m (DP) 🇦🇷 Nicolas Dubersarsky: $3m (U22) 🇪🇸 Ilie Sanchez (free) 🇸🇪 Besard Sabovic (free)

Where you see lots of back line players and locked-in goalkeepers, yet wonder about winger and striker depth, I see a mullet.

you know what? you're right about that. that's a really good point

telling people I'm getting really into streaming but it's just sitting and staring at these all day

The final piece of advice I would like to give to new folks tonight is that Bluesky will be what you make of it. When I came over from the former Twitter, I resolved to be more kind to others here than I was over there. That choice has made being here so much better. Keep it in mind for yourself.
