Amen! MTE - mute timing error? Happens with Chris Collingsworth broadcasts as well, I’m told.

Can’t be certain, of course, but most of the interactions and DMs from accounts that just followed you end up being crypto scams, other scams, engagement farming, etc. They eventually tip their hand, get reported to BSky, and get banned. Most of those are bots run by large farms of scammers

Listened the Secret Pod today. Love it when y’all dive into the Big Questions. But I do think you missed the big concern. Building back is not going to be hard b/c of raw logistics of firing/hiring or the lack of trust. It’s the fact that as a people we no longer agree on the role of government.

Nobody asked me but this Seattle at Arizona football game is the worst on-field product I’ve seen in a long time. No wonder the Cardinals fans are booing. Yikes.

Lulled them to sleep for 8 2/3 innings and then, we pounced! Love it!

Complete game 1 hitter…that they lost! Crazy stuff! #OriolesMagic!

Does anyone else occasionally delete the attempted conversations by bots and other fake accounts, just to feel productive that day? No? Just me?

I love how the pine pollen dances across the road like snow. Renewal!

I love the colors of tulips in the spring - and the work of our horticultural team to plant them!

I love that the rebirth of Spring each year reminds me that there is still magic in our world.

I love that I can hear seagulls as I walk the dog in the morning.

I’m not crying…tear duct leakage. It’s a medical condition - look it up.

I’m as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs… Let’s go Gamecocks!

@orioles.com first lineup! Through all the madness, baseball remains - thank the good Lord above!

Confirmed true…

Happy Vernal Equinox, everyone!

Beware the Ides of March…particularly in Tornado Alley.

Let’s Go Gamecocks! Women’s BB is SEC Champs…again! #ThreePeat!

Baker looked good but Suarez gives the most amount of flexibility (long relief, spot start, in the rotation). That’s worth a great deal in a very long season.

@orioles.com is back on the radio! It may be 39 degrees outside but as far as I am concerned, Spring has sprung!

There’s a lot of facial hair on the move in these Super Bowl commercials this year.

Trump Administration Cuts Put Medical Progress at Risk, Researchers Say Grants from the National Institutes of Health come with additional money for overhead. A planned $4 billion cut would leave colleges with large budget gaps.

🧪“I think the American people need to understand how devastating it would be if this goes through. A lot of research would just have to stop; I can’t imagine that the shortfall could be met from other sources.”

To do list item I didn’t expect: evaluate our lab supplies to figure out which ones are made in Canada and prepare for budget reductions accordingly. Good grief! 🤦‍♂️🧪

NSF awards RIT more than $1 million to develop digital media forensics platform RIT was awarded more than $1 million from NSF to develop Varuna, a comprehensive and organized digital media forensics platform.

🧪 This sounds like a worthwhile and desperately needed project that surely will not survive the purge that’s coming from the new NSF directives. Hang in there, Dr. Wright and RIT. www.rit.edu/news/nsf-awa...

Thank goodness we can still import through Ellicott City without penalty! #HowardCountyStrong

Heckuva run for the WFT. Time to draft some run-stopping linebackers and defensive ends. Saquon isn’t going away anytime soon. Feels like we’re OK in the quarterback position. 😂
