Toronto Will

Maaaaaybe he has some previously-unknown health problem revealed by the physical, but my starting assumption would be buyer's remorse.

🤯

I don’t know enough about the problem, but if the solution is leaving Ghost, I am inferring that it the problem is Ghost-related.

There is a Molly White! I am not capable of volunteering her against her will, but she is something of an evangelist for Ghost and very savvy.

You could phone in tech support to Molly White? But I’ll say, even as a nerd who likes to do things myself, offloading a headache tends to be money well spent. *Especially* when it comes to email.

I am not wowed by substituting Diggs for Doubs. What the offense is missing is a guy who commands double teams, they don’t need yet another serviceable WR2 or 3. But I’ll hold out hope that he can spark some magic working with Maye and be something more for us than he was for GB.

My view is that the chatbots traffic in highly potent psychological manipulations, which nobody is well equipped to guard themselves against. Nobody. The only reliable defence is avoidance.

Dear Marissa,
Thank you for providing your perspective [as a lowly blogger, because it is difficult for us to imagine ourselves in your tiny little shoes].

Peeling back the curtain on Rupar's replies is like peering into another dimension. You'll go mad if you don't look away quickly enough.

I don't think I have nearly enough neural plasticity for a thumb shift. I'm not even sure I could manage having the "b" isolated on the left half of the keyboard (my limited experience with split layouts duplicate the "b" on both sides).

If they landed Pierce this would have been an A+ free agency, they did a really nice job landing quality guys to fill other needs. But I don’t know the plan at WR, it’s seeming like they ought to have kept Diggs.

Fine, but you have made yourself the villain of The Elephant Man, locking up your hoofs behind a paywall, denying them their desire to be free.

@internethippo.bsky.social‬'s hippo foot, securely deposited in the crank bank, you can't make me pay for this now you fool

lol no, not when I can get the milk for free

VCs are smarter than us, they know that the *real* income is the friends you make along the way.

It's hard for me to get into the head of people who invest in cash-furnace tech companies (a large segment, stratified by fire intensity), but I imagine they're angling for the IPO, i.e., the bag dump onto retail. Historically that has only required "growth" (which bsky has!) not profit.

People do not (generally) like criminal defence lawyers. Their clients hate having to pay them, and most everyone else equates their success with "setting criminals free". Maybe somewhere there's a downtrodden, perpetually kicked defence attorney who loses every case, that people like.

It’s ironic that lawyers have the reputation for dishonesty, because in the vast majority of transactions in which they’re involved, they’re the only ones seriously trying to be truthful.

I'm wondering if their Diggs-replacement plan has either (a) fallen apart, or (b) is a trade. I'm not even going to make an option "(c) the draft", nothing in this team's history tells us they draft a day-one starter at WR, especially not picking at 31.

I think this might be a clever answer to the lack of blocking TEs in the free agent class. I imagine he's not a very dynamic receiving threat, but you can move him around and create matchup advantages for the run, or force the D to declare its alignment vs. the pass.

I imagine "the bracket" talk was exceedingly confusing for those without the bonus feed.

I am suspicious that there is a disgusting political calculus motivating the "distraction" crowd. The things they want us to be focused on are not the most severe crimes or the ones most urgently requiring intervention--they're the ones that hurt Trump the most with his base (i.e., depraved psychos)

I used to merely disagree with people who say "it's just a distraction", because it implausibly ascribes 4D chess thinking to impulsive nitwits. But now the "distractions" include concentration camps, mass murder and assassinations, and I'm pretty damn angry with people saying "don't look!"

When are people going to stop ascribing 3-steps ahead chess-master thinking to the most plainly short-sighted man alive. It’s all impulse.

The world without DST is not the paradise people imagine it being every time the clock changes.

“It’s very difficult to assign a clear value to any of this. The potential is enormous, but it’s like the internet in the late ’90s. The promise is there, even if the business model isn’t fully formed yet.”

You sure Ed, the experts figuring this out just now have such a good handle on things! [/s *eye twitching furiously*]

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

It is deeeep into its S-curve, and has been for at least a year. The hype has gotten more desperate, they’ve added some variety to the impressive tech demos, but the tech is what it is. The only thing making it seem better to some is a confirmation bias that they expect it to be better.
