I, for one, can't believe this ceasefire that was definitely real and not a ploy for the US to get more troops in position, has already collapsed. Shocking!

The @orlpride.com are great and @orlandocitysc.com had, uh, a record night. Oh well, It Is What It Is. @kylefoleywrites.com, @falconfirebg.bsky.social, and @radwithab.bsky.social break it all down:

Wrapping up the day with some John Coltrane Ballads. I'm a sucker for a good ballad tbh

It's kind of funny that he's such a loser that he can't ever stick to anything but it's also an objectively great thing! Imagine the levels of fucked we'd be if he *didn't* cave all the time!!

Sharing this again for the nighttime crowd. I learned a ton about just how influential manga/anime are on Japanese sports in my research for this, and I hope you'll learn something too!

I can only make this joke on Bluesky because otherwise my mom might see it and call me asking when I'm coming over next

My parents when I finally stop making excuses and go over to visit:

Two weeks is when the rest of the Marines arrive.

When the government agrees not to destroy all human life for no reason for at least two weeks

See you all on the 21st when we do this all over again (assuming he waits that long). I hate it here.

As a baseball/basketball fan, I need to dive into sports anime/manga but this piece feels like such an awesome primer.

Kyle’s passion for both real world sport and the media inspired by it is evident here, so please give it a read!

Kyle is a fantastic writer and this is a great deep dive into sports and how literature is a great accompanying, if not driving, force around them.

Also go support @butwhytho.net

Thanks man!

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

Working with @kylefoleywrites.com on this piece was an absolute joy!

Read it 👇🏽👇🏽

Thanks man! I had so much fun doing research for this one. There was so much that I had to leave out otherwise this would've been 5,000 words lol

So, uh, he wants to drop a nuke, doesn't he?

Nice! Highly recommend Pokopia if you weren't already planning on it

One Piece Episode 1156 Review - But Why Tho? One Piece Episode 1156 is a gorgeous return that successfully launches the most anticipated arc in the series' history.

One Piece is back, and we're finally headed to Elbaph! The move to 24 episodes a year hasn't completely fixed the pacing issue (yet), but One Piece Episode 1156 is still a great start to the new arc.

Look I know this is all terrible but you have to appreciate that he manages to enrage normal people with brain cells *and* his own people all at the same time. Truly one of the worst human beings of all time.

Trump posting "Praise be to Allah" on Easter Sunday would be hilarious if the rest of the post wasn't so fucked up. I can just picture J.D. Vance seething reading that part

kind of a shame the Bible doesn’t really follow up on Pontius Pilate, coulda made him a grizzled detective with a checkered past in sequels
