I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
For a guy who is really only in the rotation due to a bunch of injuries, and even then has been pretty bad....
Well, like David Price said: "If you don't like it, Pitch Better"
All the complaining to the media in spring and now this is a real bad look for him tbh
We live in a post-market size world. The most famous sports team in the world is located in Manchester, England (population 580,000), a city roughly the size of Albuquerque, NM or Surrey, BC. Build it and they will come.
Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)
women who hate men generally just hate what men have done to them whereas men who hate women mostly just hate what women won’t do for them
the difference is crucial
Funny, this was my first thought.
THE SMALL MARKET NARRATIVE IS A LIE PUSHED BY OWNERS TO JUSTIFY LOW PAYROLL
THESE MARKETS HAVE NEVER BEEN SMALL

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.
Congrats to @grubb.wtf for his new side hustle writing speeches for a very popular politician.
Very House of Cards season 3 of him.
Can't possibly guess as to why there was a significant Bluesky outage today.....
ERROR: BlueSky is haunted. Always was.

The irony of seeing that post from one of the BSky devs bragging about how much they're using "AI" to code this platform, as it's being extra laggy and buggy today.
Real strong selling point, that.
Yeah, we can tell from the increasing levels of jank and bugs
I got an "Unholy Error" in a high school programming class once and still think about that one to this day(bonus points for thoroughly confusing my friends and teacher because nobody had any clue what the hell that meant)
Doug Ford saying that he won't vote no on surveillance pricing because he believes in capitalism and the free market is a great example of why I could never be a journalist because I would be kicked out of every press conference for screaming "THAT'S NOT WHAT ANY OF THAT MEANS, DOUG"
2 of his blown saves this year weren't even his fault!(Looking at you, Tyler Heineman)
The MLB-approved statement the teams’ broadcasters are reading about Jackie Robinson Day is an embarrassment. Jackie didn’t face “adversity” — he faced loud, violent, entrenched racism. He integrated baseball & saved it from collapsing in on itself. Say that.
the "preemptive detecting-cancer" machine learning stuff is legit and cool as hell, its just that 99% of the rest is terrible useless/harmful bullshit
Humor is a form of resistance. Whimsy is a form of resistance. Not mowing your lawn for a few weeks is a form of resistance. Eating eight chicken tenders and taking a nap is a form of resistance. Watching old reruns of Night Court where the only advertisers are somehow still 1-900 numbers is a form
The 90s PSA that aired on Canadian TV fromt he group Concerned Children's Advertisers called "smarter than you" where a 3D animated TV (cutting-edge CGI for the 90s) tells the viewer to have some media literacy habits
Canadian kids in the 90s would just be watching TV and then suddenly a cartoon television would tell you "how 'bout you log off and touch grass"
@cptowers.bsky.social hey, uh, the FBT newsletter this morning has today's date, but appears to be yesterday's content?
Local government that takes 4-month Christmas break says attendance important.
guy deleted for probably legal reasons but
tldr on that big thread about Target going around is how they use bullshit AI algorithms to accuse you of stealing at self-checkout and then issue a WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST over 80 bucks or whatever and haul you off to literal jail with no warning later
She reportedly parted ways with Bezos with a jaw-dropping $38.3 billion in Amazon stock. Their divorce settlement included a 4 % stake in the online retail giant or 19.7 million shares.

MacKenzie Scott has given away over $19 billion in the last 5 years and experts say she's 'changed entire fie... MacKenzie Scott acknowledged another $2 billion in donations as 2024 comes to a close.
MacKenzie Scott, worth $41.1 billion, is on a philanthropic tear and has donated an estimated 46% of her net worth.
Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.
Just. Tax. Them.
i'm going to be beating my "get off substack" drum again.
because seriously: get off substack.
stop helping literal sex traffickers make money.
Use bad photoshop like the ancestors did
Grocery barons are gonna be the first ones on the menu when we eat the rich
