  1. The senator from Ruzzia has thoughts.
  2. Washington Post reporter ‪Will Oremus‬ ‪@willoremus.com Gift link to my story on how social media has systematically devalued links for years — and how Bluesky is bucking that trend. https://wapo.st/3CHfmp6 or https://archive.ph/32kEj
  3. Bookmarks is probably up there with verification badges with the 2 items I've seen most requested. Bluesky users Hunter Walker and comfortablynumb created badges for starter packs of various journalists. https://bsky.app/profile/hunterw.bsky.social/post/3lbt6wkxckk22 Hunter Walker is a reporter for Talking Points Memo and has been individually verifying reporters and journalists
  4. The increase of allowed scholarships to 105 or whatever may increase the desirability of giving one to a kicker. I don't know shit, but I'd think it would.
  5. Does he still have his picks from last week up? I'd be interested to see 'em if you have a second.
  6. Elmo have thoughts about cameras and military hardware. Meanwhile I think that sound I hear is a Tesla on FSD running into a train.
  7. I don't have a kid but Japan seemed especially child friendly to me. It seems like a haven for kids and nerds. Their kids seemed esp well-mannered.
  8. Auburn's defense looked absolutely pathetic. They were running around with no clue about where to go. Not sure how they rank or are graded but it'd be interesting to see. Also their defense seemed to stop getting penetration at-will in the 2nd half. No stats, just an observation so not sure if true. I wonder what changed.
  9. Tuned in for a minute, in time to hear the "Alpha Paving" bro whine, "I'm tired of all these teams playing their best games against us. Auburn. South Carolina." Choking off the tears.
  10. Hell yeah! Gimme that FSD now, Elmo!
  11. I don't recall whether this has been discussed here before but apparently some coaches at some schools have been chattering to Ross Dellenger about being able to double their school's direct payments to athletes as part of the House/NIL settlement this year, as soon as it's finalized, due to a budgeting anomaly created by it being the first year of schools paying athletes directly.
  12. Sometimes you find some of the most interesting things on the local subreddit. This is the glory hole store in Fort Collins. This guy did a similar thread near the beginning of the pandemic but quickly deleted it so I'm sharing with you all, for the hell of it, and in case any of you boys need to get away from the family while you're in town. link in case it's still up and spoilered due to length www.reddit.com/r/FortCollins/comments/1gvgfyr/i_havent_worked_at_the_book_ranch_in_4_years_but/?sort=old
  13. I'm under the impression that the liability potential is their main hurdle. Waymo is already driverless and on the road, but not elmo.
  14. You didn't ask me but I'll try to pass along some of the things I've learned from my wife about cooking classes. Make sure everyone in your group is excited about it. More than anything it's a social occasion. When picking which cooking school you want to go to look for one that focuses on teaching techniques important to the cuisine rather than those that just market themselves as about cooking and consuming a fabulous meal. For as much as you'll pay for the cooking class, you can get a better meal from a top restaurant. Therefore, learning something that you wouldn't necessarily understand from reading a book is important in how rewarding the class is. A bonus is if the school includes a preliminary tour through a local market of the sort that professional chefs would shop at - that way you can learn some of the things they look for. For Paris, that's primarily the Bastille market but there are others.
  15. There's a feed that behaves like trending, or so I'm told - "Discover"
  16. If you're seeing a lot of unwanted partisan accounts in your replies or getting reposted into your feed, I recommend using the blocklist "Right wing propaganda and their followers" by ‪@numb.comfortab.ly‬ and opting to mute them all. It catches almost all the accounts I see people complaining about.
  17. Apparently it's been the #1 app dl'd on apple and google for a couple days. The CEO said they're working to scale it.
  18. "Good move" for Argentina to lower tariffs but the fascist he spent at least $200m to get elected has promised raise tariffs in the US. Imagine being a CEO, government contractor, sucker of the government teet, and buddies with a supposed president but giving more of a fuck about Argentina than the US.
  19. I don't know that a conviction of any single individual is the end goal as much as using the government to attack them, harm them mentally, and drive them towards bankruptcy due to attorney fees, plus the resulting silence or acquiescence from the public who'd want to avoid that type of retribution.
  20. It's possible he doesn't understand fuckall.
  21. also https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8b060c46ee6f49908f9fb415ad23051c here's a link to his post which shows some targets outside the range of ATACMS - the video won't embed here https://bsky.app/profile/georgewbarros.bsky.social/post/3lb62mwoqks27
