Clayton Elkins

Not to get ahead of myself, but Dana Brown may have extended the Astros' window of competitiveness by at least a few years by trading Kyle Tucker. Of course, it ultimately hinges on how good Cam Smith proves to be. At a minimum, it buys the club time to restock farm via draft & overcome bad salary.

I really want to see X become phased out bc Elon Musk is a fucking douchebag, but the sports content I seek is largely missing from here bc the big names I follow on X don't want to ditch their follower base & start over. They keep posting over there.

I'm not posting much on here & not bc I don't WANT to. It's just that this platform desperately needs to diversify to attract people who want to avoid politics. Right now, the motivation to join is overwhelmingly driven by politics & most of the prominent members are posting about such.

Meta is absolute shit. 3 of the 7 posts I saw as I was scrolling down my feed were about Google Maps making the change from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. That weasel Zuckerberg bent over for MAGA.

Trump also freed Taliban prisoners.

If Trump pardons the J6 inbred rioters, it is because he made up his mind way before Hunter Biden received his pardon.

Never seen Man City look so scared in the Pep era - like they don't have confidence to play that signature aggressive high press out of fear/respect for Liverpool's counter. Liverpool is dominating the possession so far.

Liverpool has bossed Man City around & now they get the goal to show for it. Liverpool looks like they have many more in them, also. This City side isn't the level I've seen from them the past 5 years or so under Pep.

Soccer Zone in Live Oak used to be a dope place to ball, but Let’sPlay bought it & turned it into a corporate pile of shit whose primary goal is to jack your money & ruin the soccer experience in the process. Scheduling league games during the holiday weekend is just shitty.

Gameday!

National Director of Counter Surfing makes for sense for him.

Details of Spurs-anchored downtown sports, entertainment hub emerge City officials envision an arena for the San Antonio Spurs, an overhauled Alamodome, a bigger Convention Center and more in the downtown district.

This is very bold. I don't know if SA residents will have the stomach for the price tag, but this will definitely boost SA's competitiveness for major conventions, sporting events, concerts, etc that have been bypassing the city in the past few years.

I agree with this as long as racism, xenophobia, homophobia, antisemitism, misinformation, & threats of violence are strictly moderated. The debates need to stay respectful & productive. I came here bc Musk took the leashes off & let all that stuff run rampant.

The refs are really taking over this Pacers/Rockets game. Holy moley.

Last suggestion (gamers will get this one)... Dr. Friedlander

Don't give them any ideas.

Dr. Love

Me.

(I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.)

He's as much of a doctor as Joel O$teen is a Minister of God.

Would be better off w/ Dr. Dre, but I guess he was overqualified.

Looks like Supreme Leader Snoke.

Can Ukraine target their troll farms, please? Sincerely, America's democracy.

The differing views from my own don't bother me as much as just being on a platform owned by a Trump fanboy & member of his administration. That is why I am here. Moderation & upholding a code of conduct is fine, but creating a thought vacuum is hyporcritical.

JUICE BOX FOREVER! 🍊🧃

So yeah, the Rockets are now 10-4 and just finished their most dominant and complete game of the season. It’s starting to happen.

I legit started waving my hands around like the wacky inflatable tube guy when he sank his 4th three. That was so satisfying.

Meta just sucks, all together. The amount of fake articles & AI images advancing right-wing themes on FB just prior to the election was outrageous. It proved that their algorithms were fucked & spam/fake account detection was non-existent.

Jake Paul may have "won", but I was more impressed w/ Tyson. Him going the distance is pretty badass.

Is my first post on Bluesky going to be about how bad Netflix is screwing the pooch for this Jake Paul/Mike Tyson fight? Yes, yes it is.
