Creating and protecting the power of journalism—the power that balances out the competing power of the powerful people we write about—is also a collective responsibility. — @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social
Not enough things are buttressed these days.
That’s true leadership 🙌
Covering a high school baseball game and this pitcher has Cole Hamels’ mechanics pretty much exactly.
I don’t know who else to tell this to so 🤷‍♂️
This guy here is DEAD.
Before I left my last job, one of the "it's time to go" red flags was when a supervisor kept putting my stuff through Gemini, and didn't grasp why that upset me so much.

Couldn’t be more excited to share the first episode of my cockamamie podcast concept. Thanks, again, to m’man @garretheinrich.bsky.social for hopping on, his help in setting me up and - most importantly - for recording a 2nd ep when I failed to record the 1st one

Betting on your phone seems to take all of the fun out of it. I’ve never been a big gambler, but I love physically going to a sports book, putting down like $5 on a team I want to win, and then going back to get actual cash.
This just feels like math homework but you lose money.
"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."
Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now
This was the Padres' third 1-0 win over Colorado in franchise history... and first time in Denver.
Is there a female equivalent of nicknames like Big Dog or Hoss? Like, a positive name that a stranger/acquaintance calls you.
Someone called me Hoss like 7 years ago and I’m still riding high off that.

Another reason why I feel zero guilt or FOMO over being a willing AI luddite
I keep going back and forth between wanting a steady paycheck and wanting to never deal with corporate bs again.
There’s so much I love about freelancing, but the uncertainty is frustrating.
Excited to read it!
I think that would be a great blog idea. Maybe seeing which stadiums are clearer about their policies for bags. We’ve got clear bags in a few different sizes, but not everyone is that prepared. Especially those who don’t go to many games.
And yes, Mason Barnett’s up and down stint messed up my lede haha #Athletics

This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features

hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
Disney made the movie Frozen so when you googled "Walt Disney frozen", it would show results for the movie instead of the urban legend that Walt Disney cryogenically froze his head
VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?
ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Nice start to the year
Can’t wait for this!
Can we get one week. Just seven days. One week where it doesn’t feel like we’re in a Black Mirror hellscape?

Hey babes of Bluesky -- I wrote about how ABS can affect the experience of watching/playing baseball from a psycho-social perspective. Per usual, there is a touch of numbers and my dumb brand of humor.
TAP in here... ha, get it?
