At the booth? Maybe? (If it’s at the Lodge, I’m SOL) 😛 Hope you had a great con - v positive buzz out of yesterday’s panel! See you for Star Trek Day? 😉 #SDCC #SDCC26 #ComicCon

Me! A would-pin trader, on an ongoing mission - to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and old John Van Citters… 😛

Booyah!!! 😛 #SDCC #SDCC26 #ComicCon

And it is moments like these which make Comic-Con - even after all these years - still one of my favorite places in the whole wide world. #SDCC #SDCC26 #ComicCon (Photo credit: @outsidecomiccon.com who you should follow!)

After a rough trip down to #SDCC (2 hour plus Amtrak delay - ugh!) we finally made it! Looking forward to catching up with all my nerd peeps; give a shout if you're around and we can keep an eye out for each other! #SDCC #SDCC26 #ComicCon

Now where have we seen this before? Ah, yes… Deep Space Nine ftw…

@YearOfTheVlad: Did you trade Smoak?

@BlueJays: No, he has neck tightness and could be available to pinch hit if needed.

@YearOfTheVlad: Source?

@BlueJays: Literally us, the Blue Jays.

Reading this description of NBA salary cap logistics and shenanigans makes me even angrier that MLB owners want to import this bullshit. How about we keep a system where players compete on a (mostly) open market and teams can decide whether or not they want to spend money for those players? 🤔🤷‍♂️

If the goal is to generate the necessary space, they could do that by trading Strus (owed $16.6 million in 2026-27) and using the stretch provision on Schröder, whose cap number would drop from $14.8 million to just $3.9 million, although that hit would recur each of the next five seasons. That would give the team $27.5 million in extra room, although $5 million of that immediately goes away when they fill the two vacated roster spots with veteran minimum contracts.
At $47 million below the first apron, however, the Cavs could pay Harden $32 million for the coming season, sign James for $15 million and have a 14-man roster that just cleared the threshold for the first apron.
If the Cavs were to just trade Strus and keep Schröder, things would still be very tight, as they would only have $39 million to split between Harden and James. One way to get a little bit more money would be to return a player drafted in this year's second round in the Strus trade; the Cavs could then pay the rookie minimum instead of the veteran minimum. That creates an extra $1 million. That latter scenario, combined with stretching Schröder, is perhaps the most feasible

Hey @bluejays.com - time to move to BlueSky! Also, FOR THE LOVE OF JOE CARTER, CAN SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE KERNING ON DALTON‘S UNIFORM? The man’s fighting for an All-Star spot with a Letterman-esque gap in his nameplate, ffs. Brother looks like he’s wearing a “Dune III” tie-in. (VA’ RSHO)

Toronto Blue Jay Dalton Varsho in the dugout. We see the back of his uniform. There is a large space between the A and R. Too large of a space. I mean really people, what are we doing here?

i'm not falling for that hot take. that's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. i refuse to participate in that kind of perversion

Again, what’s up with this weak-ass “no known background” shit?? “Pulte has no background” is shorter, clearer, more direct. I mean, this is really J school 101 stuff.

Mr. Pulte, who leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no known background in intelligence, defense or national security. He has been among the most aggressive advocates for prosecuting Democrats and others perceived by Mr. Trump as having crossed him.

Colin Campbell@tvcolincampbell· Jun 3

But other than that….

“Many people feel that LLMs are a fundamentally unethical technology because they are built on the theft of intellectual property, rely on exploited labor, waste natural resources, spread misinformation, deskill workers, stunt the cognitive development of students, and contribute to a consolidation of power that is unhealthy for a democratic society.”

I interned at the George Michael Sports Machine. First time in the studio, I watched him push the button to start the tape playback, and while we were away at highlight, a union guy walked out and pressed “stop” on the tape machine. So George could restart it for next highlight. Because: television.

George Michael, not the singer, the sports anchor, in a suit standing in front of a complex computer, with a reel-to-reel playback element. It’s a set piece, not a functioning playback device.

Colin Campbell@tvcolincampbell· Jun 2

Gotta hand it to NYT - they're always alert to the possibility that the housing chud MAYBE HAS AN UNKNOWN background in intelligence! In fact, he may be undercover right now! You don't know!!! Maybe he's actually the world's greatest secret agent! Tools.

Trump Names Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence

Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist who leads the federal housing finance agency, will oversee the U.S. intelligence agencies. He has no known background in intelligence.

I don’t know that we’re prepared, as a society, to really grasp the horror committed by this person. People don’t want to hear it, much less confront it. Troubled times…

Post from the Hellsite- “I watched Michael at AMC Burbank 16. It was an absolutely WILD experience! People dancing in the audience, singing, shouting at the screen! Multiple applause & a standing ovation..😱

The more 47 and his supporters attack the Pope with their "stick to religion" shtick, I wonder if they realize what they're saying? Cause if you wanna draw a bright line between church and state, and tell religious leaders to but out of politics? Frankly, I'm here for it.

Colin Campbell@tvcolincampbell· Apr 8

That’s too bad. They really should have brought him down a long time before now.

Jim Whittaker, who in 1963 became the first American to reach Mount Everest Summit has died at 97.

Okay! My bad. Which part of this am I supposed to be replying to? Happy to do so - just didn’t see a part that necessarily needed clarification. If you do want an actual reply, try short declarative sentences with a subject, verb and object, preferably in that order, and we’ll see how it goes.

“Stop being weak and terrible” is SUCH a low, low bar for Dems to clear. The fact that they repeatedly cannot even do that reminds me so much of Python’s legendary “Upper Class Twit of the Year” sketch…

This guy keeps talking about having “future inaugurations” in his shitty ballroom and, I’m sorry, but did you see how many people were there for Obama? You’re gonna put that number of people into a ballroom? I mean, we’ll take the win where we can: at least he’s talking about future inaugurations!

The inauguration of Barack Obama, with hundreds of thousands of people who will not fit in to the world‘s stupidest ballroom.

Sure, she’s “condemning,” BUT! I mean, really: Seek professional help. Your child is at risk of being sent to a concentration camp by Orange Julius Caesar, but you STILL can’t quite get to the appropriate emotional response, “fuck this guy to Hell forever”??? What is wrong with these people???

Colin Campbell@tvcolincampbell· Jan 16

My favorite part: THIS GUY thinks he’s NOT at risk of being pulled from his car one night by roving gangs of government thugs targeting “people who look” like they MIGHT be committing a misdemeanor violation. Good luck, brother! (Tool…)

An RNCC spokesdude who apparently thinks everything ICE is doing is hunky dory.

Colin Campbell@tvcolincampbell· Jan 9

When journalists express dismay at how the NYT is being run, this is a prime example. Today, our VP has multiple times told people to watch a video where an ICE agent kills then curses out a woman in Minnesota. Protests of the killing are springing up nationwide. Burying that story is a CHOICE.

This came to mind while reading about McClatchy, owners of newspapers, salivating over the possibility of replacing their human reporters with digital clones who never tire, never call in sick, never ask for more money… and, sadly, never can be counted on to deliver truthful, accurate information. 🤷‍♂️

the organization, as Status first reported. The A.I. proposal put forth by management led some to believe that McClatchy was setting the stage to begin replacing human journalists with robots.
It's not too difficult to draw such a conclusion after reviewing the aggressive A.I. wishes of McClatchy brass. According to people familiar with the matter, the company articulated to the union that it wishes to have the ability to publish A.I.-generated stories, create A.I. impersonations of reporters for podcasts and video without their permission, publish listicles that weren't reviewed by a human first, and more.
Indeed, if management gets their way, McClatchy
—the 168-year-old company behind major local newspapers such as The Miami Herald, Sacramento Bee, and Charlotte Observer-would become one of the most aggressive adopters of A.I. in American journalism. The shift would mean that subscribers across the country could open their local newspaper to find machine-generated stories about their communities, replacing the work of journalists who have long understood their neighborhoods.

If Olivia Nuzzi fell in love with a baker: "He kneaded. He needed to knead, and I needed to watch him knead, and need me, and knead me, the way he needed (and kneaded) the other things in his life. Also, he had a Ceti Eel in his ear, like Chekov in Star Trek II." (Also: the alt text for the image!)

A Ceti Eel slimes across the face of a terrified Chekov* (Walter Koenig) in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.” The eel is trapped inside Chekov’s helmet, and soon will be entering Chekov’s skull, via the ear. You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later as they grow follows madness and death.

*But really, Is there any other kind of Chekov?In the Star Trek movies, he’s usually terrified, or in pain, or something.
