If you have a bit to spare, consider helping out one of own hockey players from the Seattle RedHawks overcome a devastating hit-and-run bicycle accident. More: gofund.me/38bd2f854

Fascinating thread on the green reflecting pool by a scientist who works with cyanobacteria. Very cool.

Heck yeah, Abbey Murphy!

Today’s “how I know I’m old”: enough time has passed between now and the time when I hated the John Starks Knicks with the heat of 1000 suns to actually be happy for NYC today.

@starshiptim.com gas up the car you’re going to Toronto!

Bsky traffic today: Dominant USA World Cup win: 500 posts. A tarp: 500,000 posts. Never change.

Me in the car for school pickup: *radio talking about Gov. Ferguson pushing “no phones in schools”* Me: “oh, cool, just like at E’s middle school.” E, getting in car: “so, the governor was at our school today…”

BOOOOOOO I knew having Knight for more than one year was more than we could hope for.

A friend of my wife just gave their baby the middle name “Dax,” and I was so excited to explain to her why all her queer nerd friends immediately thought it was great.

Is “legacy act” the new “enhancement talent”?

"I saw an interesting thing happen today. A college commencement speaker was praising AI, and rather than clapping or politely listening, the entire crowd booed him off the stage."

Reading our law school alumni newsletter, and saw a story about what a Class of ‘22 graduate is doing in their work. Got confused trying to figure out why the work of someone who won’t graduate for years would matter, realized they’re a 4th year associate, and promptly turned into a pile of dust.

Got to say my selection of accounts to follow on here is particularly dull, since the main character post of the day is about a trademark dispute between a clothing company and a drag queen, and my feed is unanimously in support of the company trademark holder. Over a drag queen. On bsky!

At my first Storm game. I’ve seen less inspired performances, but to be fair, I was a Northwestern season ticket holder.

Come early and stay in your seats at halftime to be entertained by the kids from Robert Eagle Staff Middle School! Rumor has it the chorus has a pre-game 80s medley planned! Not sure what the band and dance team have planned for halftime.

About to task my law clerk with writing an issue spotting memo on the phrase “forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data.”

I’m sorry, are you saying that the new Star Wars has a jacked Hutt? I feel like someone lost the vibe, here.

Left wing, center, right wing, left defense, right defense, goalie.

Hey now, I was walking around the ice rink with my laptop open last night so I didn't have to (1) re-pair to my phone's hotspot and (2) re-connect to our janky VPN, after I decided I should probably sit next to my kid's bench instead of on the wrong side. No AI involved!

Morning thought: Live-action remake of the You Only Move Twice episode of The Simpsons, so we could see Jason Mantzoukas as Hank Scorpio.

Using this one for the second time in two days:

Seeing Gov. Walz recap @normcharlatan.bsky.social ‘s thread that I read last week.

Hey @seattlesports710.bsky.social there is a good two segments worth of content for Salk in this thread. (Aside from the political post starting it off it’s almost all baseball guys)

Thank you 🩵

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Just stopped at the store for a set of sewing needles and a value-sized pack of denture cleaner. Having trouble beating the allegations of being an old person today.

“The name on the front is a HELL of a lot more important than the name on the back! Wait…. What?”

My idea for breaking the Mariners out of this slump: bat Raley and Raleigh next to each other, so that if they both get on base you’ve got a Raley Raleigh Rally.

A reminder that Ron Francis pulled off the biggest celebrity flex I have ever seen in person: I was waiting for a PT appointment at the Virginia Mason clinic at the Iceplex, and I watched him walk in for an appointment WITHOUT HAVING TO CONFIRM HIS NAME OR DATE OF BIRTH WITH RECEPTION. Baller.

I don’t think I ever appreciated how many strip club jokes they used.

HOLY SHIT FRINKIAC BUT FOR "30 ROCK" MILLENNIAL GAME-CHANGER funcooker.fun/

Showing this repository of amazing ancient memes to my family and it’s exactly the distraction we need in these horrible times

Ad Astra Per Cacatus

Interesting that we waited until there are widely available, industrial-grade tools for generating fake images and video before we sent people to the moon again.

I regret to inform everyone that I finally upgraded to the new iOS and I don’t hate it yet. Am I even allowed to be here?

Me, a couple hours ago: “eh, I’m just not that interested in the tournament this year. Me, after watching this clip: “dammit March madness is the best sports, period.”

This year’s must-have accessory for your bath-time nachos.

Good job, Mr. Kennedy. You only want lean proteins in your corner, like the Gobbledy Gooker.

One of the things I love most about bsky is that people get all worked up about things like this for 12-24 hours, and then someone’s like, “sorry, this isn’t true at all.” I feel like this happens every week!

No way there isn’t a Sausage Race from a Brewers game that would be relevant.

Life on bsky:

I can see a lot of commenters have never watched or played beer league hockey.

I already like this output way better than any actual GenAI patent drawing tool I have used.

SO THIS SHIT RULES. youraislopbores.me

I was not at all interested in the WBC but just saw a 17 year old HS kid get Aaron Judge to ground into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded and I think this is now my favorite baseball.

There's debate about how licensure requirements used against people are a barrier to entry that limits access to justice and are bad, yet not a lot about how licensure requirements used against GenAI are a barrier to entry that can prevent eroding the profitability of legal services and are good.
