What it looks like when people send your players racist DMs on Instagram (โ€œyou fucking monkeyโ€โ€ฆ โ€œstupid blacksโ€โ€ฆ โ€œstupid n-โ€œโ€ฆ), and you report the accounts under IGโ€™s โ€œhate speech or symbolsโ€ reporting tab: no action taken, and no โ€œother toolsโ€ to help. Thanks for taking hate speech so seriously! ๐Ÿ™„

Meanwhile, in America, on the day people protested the president, one politician was assassinated prior to a protest in Minnesota, while during a protest in Utah some guy pulled out a gun so other guys pulled out their guns to shoot himโ€ฆ and instead killed a Samoan guy standing in the crowd.

While everyone is patting themselves on the backs for yesterdayโ€™s turnout, itโ€™s worth remembering that Trump was open about what heโ€™d do if electedโ€ฆ and 4 million fewer people turned out to vote as compared to 2020. The anti-Trump resistance wouldโ€™ve been more helpful in November.

Not mine, but a friendโ€™s:

She was at home one day when there was a knock on the door. She opened it to find a woman standing there asking to her her bathroom - sheโ€™d been out for a run and urgently needed a No. 2.

It was Megan Fox.

(Apparently she was lovely, and grateful to take a dump.)

I went through a stretch last year where I watched a lot of true crime documentaries, and let me tell you, the number that boiled down to โ€œSomeone committed murders, the police investigated for months and got nowhere, and then someone called them and told them who did itโ€ was not insubstantial.

I once took a Turkish Airlines flight to Paris and was served Turkish Delight as I boarded. Loved that.

OTOH, I once flew Air France to Paris, and their website boasted that passengers received wine and cheese. How French! Only, the cheese turned out to be from Oregon.

You know, "The backlash that happens online is actually the sign that you're doing something rightโ€ could just mean you suck.

Absolutely. I donโ€™t know how your hair stacks up to his, though, but I know Tormenta fans consider you the McDreamy of USL League One.

Some days you find yourself planning Patrick Dempseyโ€™s appearance at a match; other days, you find yourself answering Lukeโ€™s questions about why Moxie wears pants. #frontofficelife

As a white man myself, youโ€™re absolutely correct when you say we arenโ€™t complicated. Weโ€™re about as simple as it gets ๐Ÿคฃ

Iโ€™ve barely had a day off in 10 weeks. Iโ€™ve been looking forward to this long weekend for a loooong time. Itโ€™s cold and raining outside. Itโ€™s time to catch up on sleep and rest a little.

My brain at 4:30am this morning: OKAY SO WHAT IF WE REORDERED THE PREMATCH SONGS FOR NEXT WEEKENDโ€™S GAMEโ€ฆ

Iโ€™d wager Sam Altmanโ€™s trillion dollar evaluation that this wonโ€™t succeed, because Silicon Valley seems largely oblivious to just how much regular people dislike AI.

Casten: The oil and gas sector don't like competition for the same reason you don't like D.E.I. Because mediocre folks are scared about a meritocracies.

And, as someone who has been through the Permanent Residency process before, involves forms the USCIS agents havenโ€™t even read, so the process can be screwed up by them giving you bad instructions or denying the existence of things mentioned in the forms.

Canada might take pity and accept you as a refugee by then.

I have to go home for my brotherโ€™s wedding next year and figure itโ€™ll be a toss of a coin to see if Iโ€™m allowed back.

If DHS thinks sexual predators are โ€œmonstrous and barbaricโ€ then wait until they do a background check on POTUS

Iโ€™m just out here making dreams come true (as long as those dreams are simply interviewing @heartsofpine.bsky.social players or coaches).

Itโ€™s hard enough to just run for the length of one of her shows, without SINGING the entire time. Thatโ€™s fโ€™in superhuman.

(And Iโ€™m not just saying that because I oversee media relations for one of their teams and will get fined if I donโ€™t shower them with praiseโ€ฆ)

In N Out is the worst - might be the most bland food Iโ€™ve ever eaten. And Californiansโ€™ defenses of it usually boil down to โ€œYou have to order whatโ€™s not on the menu!โ€

So your appealโ€ฆ isnโ€™t the food, but that you chose to tell the public about the least interesting ways to eat it?

Basically, itโ€™s great for people who are cheap or lazy, and the companies pushing AI relentlessly donโ€™t understand/care that creatives often live for the process and challenges, and enjoy the work itself.
