Not trying to be flip ATX
Just as I was complaining about Sabovic taking the corner instead of Torres, he goes and plays a perfect ball for the assist. (That was before the smoke monster came and carried off Stuver)
Could never look at SNES madden the same after my friend got a Playstation. My mind could not handle the leap from this
We (@fletcheredington.bsky.social) have gone so far online that we’re offline. Made it to the Bluesky / Onion party at SXSW. @bencollins.bsky.social is ducking us
Mistborn Secret History by Brandon Sanderson Was kinda skeptical of our boy coming back from the dead but I enjoyed how Sanderson went about it. Plus bringing in the different Cosmere elements and tying it to the bigger universe is very cool
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas If everyone else jumped off a bridge, I probably would, too. Beauty and the beast with the evil tri wizard tournament thrown in. Personally, I’m on Team Rhys. Will probably keep reading the series!
Books I Read, 2026 Edition: This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Kinda unlike anything I’d ever read. Really beautiful writing. And it’s fairly short! Highly recommend.
I kinda think bluesky's trending topics algorithm might need a bit of an adjustment
Book 12: Mistborn - The Bands of Mourning Fun way to open the world back up to new possibilities. Really liked the second half and gonna have to go pick up the Secret History. (And at least I hit 12! Probably read more than 12 Bluesky posts)
Book 11: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson. Really not all that different than “The Let Them Theory” from above, but I’d say that this one is better written and a more enjoyable read. (In my head I initially thought the author was Marc Maron, feels like it works both ways)
Was confronted by an orange on my walk. Paid the toll of 72 scritches.
I have gotten 5 fundraising texts from Janet Mills today alone. (And have immediately blocked everyone, yet they persist - all different numbers). If anything, this tells me you don’t understand the current media environment and are just going to pay consultants to run a campaign with poor outreach
Book 10: Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson (middle trilogy in the Mistborn series). Mostly excited for how this seems to set-up the next book with some bigger foes and ideas. 2nd half of the book was really fun.
Book 9: The Sirens’ Call by @chrislhayes.bsky.social. I really wish there was a way for everyone to understand the message of this book because I think it’s a fundamental tenet for *gestures at everything* Thinking of attention as a quantifiable/limited resource and not just a skill or general idea
Our 14 team FF league only has 4 bench spots, meaning I am going to have sacrifice my incredibly sophomoric team name unless Kirk, London, or a mystery 3rd player are ruled out for Week 2, so I can pick up a kicker.
Typed this up last night but didn’t feel like editing it down to fit in the character limit. (I do really wonder what percent of adults know how many Supreme Court justices there are)
Have I moved past caring about pre-season football? Yes. Does knowing that Trey Lance will likely get multiple series pull me right back in? Also yes.
Most importantly I see you have chosen the correct R Studio color scheme
This shouldn't surprise anyone, but Austin and San Jose just played another ridiculous game (with Austin stealing it in PKs). STU is a beast.
Book 7: Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte. Absolutely insane. Terminally online. Graphically sexual. I give it my highest recommendation. The fact that you are on Bluesky means you will get this book. The fact that you are on Bluesky means you will likely find something to hate with this book.
Book 6: Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. I’m hopeful that politicians and future leaders will adopt more of this mindset because I think it’s imperative that we come up with the ability to both message and build a better future.
“…they drew an artificial line right through it… Just a straight, artificial line.”
Chris, the WSJ suggested stability, surely these numbers you’ve posted must be for something else. Perhaps it’s actually an increase in golden trump statues other countries are building. (Common mixup)
Ten team fantasy baseball league squad (h2h categories). We’re banking on breakouts, so good chance we’re either first or last.
Book 5: Not as riveting as the original trilogy, but I liked seeing the world many years later (and the final act is quite entertaining). (Also probably a bit distracted by world events to get fully sucked in)
