War Machine on Netflix was awesome!

I mean if you like β€œwhat if 3I Atlas was an alien invasion” anyway.

Kwity is a very solid edge setting rush defender. He has no juice in pass rush and very little in his bag of tricks there. Great guy, great teammate, solid player. I think his archetype is an important one but easy to overlook as he doesn't pop off the screen. I am a fan!

I disassociate on Netflix as a background task.

Yeah, honestly, fuck that. I want to create, not destroy my back.

I honestly don’t think we should recognize the new CEO and we should have big poasters take turns being appointed as CEOs and have our journalists write little articles about how Micah plans to shake up BlueSky.

I denounce your authority sir.

41, 2 kids, a growing shelf of military history. Dammit.

Perhaps Claude code democratizes building so it’s not so terribly money driven to some extent. The creatives take back over from the VCs and the Peter Thiels of the world whither away slowly but surely.

Also I plan to live to 250 and have zero retirement so how’s that for techno-optimism?

Just so people on bluesky are aware... was very early bluesky and I very much actively followed every dog account I could find that signed up and now when I open bluesky I basically am given pure dog content straight to the brain stream every time. I am proposing everyone else do this.
The end.

Pierce outgraded Pittman on PFF the last two seasons (81.0 vs 70.8 rcv grade) at double the depth of target, with 2.10 yards per route run vs 1.46. Pierce is 25 with grades trending up every year (61β†’57β†’75β†’81) while Pittman is 28 with grades trending down (80β†’73β†’71). $29M with this cap is a steal.

Colts make big moves on the first day of free agency and set #Colts nation up for success in 2026! I was feeling worried but they got Pierce done. Now let’s hunt us a Trey Hendrickson! In other news, Steelers fans you will love Michael Pittman. He will be missed! #colts #steelers #nfl #bengals

I meant to write a Colts post mortem blog and it would certainly have included signing Pierce and trading Pittman.

Pittman has been a great player in Indy and I wish him well. Should be a big upgrade in PIT.

Very excited for these moves today as a Colts fan (and an impending deal with DJ)

Colts essentially chose Alec Pierce over Michael Pittman long-term, which makes sense

This was gonna be the Colts letting AJ Brown go moment and they somehow avoided it.

FUCK YES.

Pierce is a beast and his rise isn’t as easy to see by pure stats alone.

That is all I ask from my security professional.

Apparently they are low budget brand sold by Walmart. $25-$35 a pair. How about that.
