I am BEGGING new CEO John Apple to add the Slack convention of colon-word-colon shortcuts for adding emojis to a message. It is so much faster than any native Mac shortcut method once you get the hang of it

@andyblarsen.bsky.social are we still doing photos of Andy Larsen lookalikes?
Fliers posting online act like “gate lice” is a thing only among arrogant, selfish Americans. If you’ve only flown in the US, that’s an understandable assumption, given the state of American society.
I am here to tell you that it is just as bad or worse everywhere I’ve been in Europe and Asia.
It’s me?
Would any fan on the planet object to this?
I love this. It wouldn’t help them in any way, but tanking teams should trot out ancient vets alongside these borderline G-Leaguers if only because it’s more entertaining for the fans to see a few names they know.
That Griffey tho 🤩🤩🤩
Him: "but if it's a THREE-team tie, then Atlanta gets the 5 seed, even though Toronto has the tiebreak with both Orlando and Atlanta"
This is a STRONG endorsement. I’ve never been; keep meaning to go and it keeps getting deprioritized
The accuracy
Now this I can get behind
I am slightly ashamed to admit that it finally happened: I finally had an app idea and was grateful for AI tools that allowed me to build it, and now I am so excited about it that I can't sleep
Squad goals tbh
Yep
Many of you will also love this factoid: The first 19 teams in the AP preseason Top 25 all made the tournament. All 19 of those won at least their first-round game, except for one. . .
YES! I found it in my Twitter archive which has the text of all tweets I liked through mid-2023:
"Lets be honest- Simmons has plateaued and it’s left people GRASPING for a way to differentiate him from Elfrid Payton"
Yeah man, I have a mind like a steel trap for genuinely funny content, and that tweet was perfect. Just an amazing troll job of. . . some fan base. I think it might have been Ben Simmons?
@bobbyfirmino.com random question but I'm trying to tell some people about a classic tweet of yours. You were saying that some star PG had plateaued leaving people GRASPING to tell him apart from Elfrid Payton. Does that ring a bell? Any idea who you were talking about?
I mean this is all you really need to show them
I'm sorry—did you say the first time he ever **attended** a big league game?! There's no way that's right, right?
I will say that my IG is full of amazing Mo Salah goals the last 24 hours or so, and that is really nice
No, in fact he specifically mentioned Gail in his farewell video. I was surprised, since he plays for a soccer team in Liverpool, but here we are
The Insta algo serves me a shocking amount of recent Kosta Koufos pickup basketball content
I am sad that it’s ending with a season like this one—that our very last memory of him at Anfield won’t be him lifting the PL trophy after another dominant campaign. But so few go out on top like that
Farewell, Mo Salah
I have quad and/or patella tendonitis and hobbled off the court after a fast break myself yesterday with a moment of high instability, now feeling pretty fortunate it didn’t rupture
Lunch? In this economy?!
I watched! Why did I do that?!
What are we gonna do when this happens to both of us?
"AI automation just frees you up to focus on higher-value tasks!"
The higher-value tasks:
- Setting my fantasy baseball lineup
- Watching Key & Peele sketches
- Listening to a podcast about sharks
