new Rule of Thirds just dropped

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Minnesota in general, and Stancil in particular, exposing some real “vanguard of the proles” fantasists among the professional “organizing” set

Xabi Alonso has made it to Christmas, but there’s little comfort and joy at Real Madrid The 44-year-old has survived an intense spell of pressure at the Bernabeu, but January will bring a tougher test

Real Madrid is the most expensive pick-up soccer team in the world

based on every description I’ve read Pluribus is just a warmed-over Rubicon for the streaming era

no lie, I actually double-checked my calendar app fearing I brined the turkey too early. Happy T-1 day!

I was at this game sitting behind first and I had never heard anything like it - the sound of Bonds connecting with that ball - until Ohtani! Really the only two guys in the GOAT convo in my opinion

@bubbaprog.xyz what is up with the espn picture quality on this yankees/sox game? incorrect frame rate? tough watch

I also am in the “I don’t know” camp, but my fear is it’s some new third thing with big implications for human reasoning, personal and collective

is image-based communication “orality” in the ancient sense? or is it a new third thing that threatens both oral communication and the written word? like cave paintings that move rather than poetics ancient or modern

I'm a single issue voter, and my issue is "the government shouldn't be fascist."

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

well, you said you’re a Cage Canon completionist so you couldn’t not watch it - maybe just keep it to yourself idk ;)

was the poor decision watching the movie or posting about it?

i feel seen

a mentally diminished or incapacitated Trump at the mercy of his handlers is the likeliest scenario going forward and is a way worse outcome than his unambiguous death - the Trump spell remains unbroken and the internal MAGA civil war simmers without boiling over

really want him to keel over dead on camera during market hours just to see the pop (disclosure: long everything)

how long could Shadow President Miller and the family weekend-at-bernie’s him before it leaked out? once Vance knows the MAGA civil war begins

and.…every legal long gun has to be pepto-bismol pink from butt to tip

this deserved a like, you’re welcome

@adamharstad.bsky.social hey Adam, are you writing Rent-a-Kicker this season?

I won’t forget “isn’t everything control fraud these days?” - will be thinking about that all week, ty sir

bro if ESPN screws up NFL Red Zone the end is nigh - and I don’t trust those Bristol jabronis one bit

ha, yes! as an impressionable young music fan late-police, early sting solo stuff was my intro to the world of jazz music

costumes, not bodies - the punk thing was kind of a pose as these guys were always more mature, literate and sophisticated than any punk band

completely tangential to your point, but any measure of “health care costs” that includes insurance premiums gets my hackles up. insurance ≠ care. I might consume $2k in health care each year but I purchase 10x that in something called “health insurance” - mainly “just in case”

@nedboulting.bsky.social holy shit,
Ned, your little aside on the ultimate “progress” of Artificial Intelligence on the NDF TdF preview was extremely haunting - looking forward to another year of your coverage in the states via VPN - best, from California

He has refused his Assent to Laws…

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world…

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury…

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences…

the New York Times is often the main character on bluesky and it says an awful lot about both entities
