AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS WHY YOU IDIOTS NEED TO STOP ASSUMING AI CAN DO EVERYTHING

I am proud to be part of the Sightline Media Union, and I appreciate the work the negotiating committee is doing to get us a fair contract.

Yeah, exactly this. Are things *bad*? Of course they are! Are the bad things *impossible* to overcome? Only if we let them be so.

The perfect joke does not ex—

I ran into Terry Bradshaw at a Subway in Columbus, Ohio and we talked about horses.

“The media has established a false narrative that I rustle cattle.” — Leon the Cattle Rustler.

Good evening to Sen. Cory Booker, who just tore down another monument to the Confederacy.

I’m not sure whether I love Kevin or Cory more right now.

Nico Harrison frantically Googling “non-Jewish orthopedic surgeon Dallas Texas”

Hey, the people have spoken and laws don’t actually apply to anything any more, so here we are.

I don’t love the idea of firing a coach with Ryan Day’s overall track record, but at this point only winning the national championship is going to save him.

I am FURIOUS over how good this joke is.

As someone who grew up on a cattle ranch and drives a Jeep, I … I have no notes.

median Bsky user thinks age of consent should be 28, or earlier if you’re both still in grad school

It’s pretty great to pay an exterminator for quarterly service and then have a mouse interrupt family movie night.

You know, part of me wants to just say “OK, do your worst, show these people what they voted for.” Another part of me keeps thinking about how many conversations I’ve had in my career with experts that have included some variation of “regulations are written in blood.”

I don’t know who’s going to win the election, and neither does anybody else. But what I do know is that one campaign is acting like it has a narrow lead, while the other is acting like the results don’t matter because it has the courts in its pocket. I sure hope that latter campaign is wrong.

Everybody say hi to the most popular man in Cleveland.

All that goodwill from an awesome season and the WNBA decides to burn it all on getting the Liberty a ring. Unreal.

Not today, Satan.

One — and only one — of the Stranger Things kids, in time for Season 5. Just to see how they handle, like, Dustin being yoked enough to close the gate with his bare hands. Or Elizabeth Warren.

Eric Adams is the first NYC mayor to be indicted? (Laughs in Illinois)

Huh, I figured it would be much higher than that.

I am excited to announce that I will be the next owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, assuming of course that Jeannie Buss agrees to my terms (selling me the team for $1) but of course she will, so just go ahead and put it in the NYT without asking her.

Huh, turns out Simone Biles is pretty tough after all.

I am a GOOD public speaker. I’m naturally talented at it and I’ve done it a LOT in my career. I’ve spoken at conferences, hosted webcasts, moderated panels, been on panels, all sorts of different situations, 99.99999 percent of them without a prompter. I have made this exact same mistake before.

Look, I’m going to say it. A former president being convicted of 34 felonies is not a cause for celebration. It is time for us all to take a minute and think about the type of country we really want to be, by which I mean what kind of REALLY BIG celebration we can pull together by the weekend.

@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social I very much enjoyed the recap of Orioles vs. Cardinals, because it makes it sound like both teams had a severe existential crisis after the 6th.

Um, maybe we should look at what has happened in the past before we call in the National Guard to start busting some undergrad skulls.

I’ve been coaching soccer for nine years, and I have to say that today’s game was probably the biggest disparity between “quality of weather” and “quality of play” I’ve ever experienced. Great game, LOUSY weather. And people wonder why I like coaching basketball so much more.

Edit, damn it.

Iowa just got absolutely gifted the right to get paved by South Carolina.

I can’t wait for Shohei Ohtani’s debut in the NBA G League.

Turns out that suggesting sovereign nations have agency in the things they are doing is a great way to add to your block list.

“Cheaters never prosper.” — People who don’t watch sports.

@scalzi.com I just burned through “Starter Villain,” and I loved it, which I expected given that I’ve loved everything else you’ve done. But as a former trade mags editor, I would like to specifically call out that I flat-out cracked up at a certain aside, because it is oh so true.

There are two wolves inside of you.

Well this is about to go nuclear.

The Las Vegas Aces are completely uninterested in screwing around. You can’t get this kind of insightful analysis just anywhere, folks.

Hey, the Aces are on. And the crowd is LIT.

I don’t know man I feel like a judge saying “Listen here Crimey McCrimerson, you no longer get to have businesses on account of all the criming” is the kind of thing that should really play into how people view presidential candidates.

I haven’t been this happy with Ohio since … look, I’m just really happy with Ohio tonight.

Look, folks. This site is better than Twitter in SO MANY ways, but I just have to say that I’m not having nearly the same experience with the Alabama riverboat brawl here as I am there.

I’m not sure why there is ever any discourse about the latest white supremacist that goes beyond “tie them in a sack and throw them in the river,” but I guess I’m just not a Very Serious Public Intellectual.

I’ve been here for like 20 minutes and nobody has threatened my life. And they call this a social media site.
