I caught this post before "the fold" showed the link/photo, and I knew what it was before even looking 😀

Search is so funny

Put AI on that feature set

Oh, too hard? 😒

(It is pretty hard from my limited expβ€”why do all site searches suck butt?)

Huynh, Don, Chocek… redraft midseason could/will be consequential

I think Ricky will help a lot. If he and Gannon are 1-2 you have a huge +

They both show up

Silva or Holyn could go off but Ohn was a lite steal (at #4)

Very tactical snake draft wise. Yr other option was Evaliina. We’ll see… ;)

I would like to search

- the accounts I follow on BlueSky
- the accounts that follow me

Can I do that?

Oh that’s interesting. If i understand correctly it squares with my anecdotal experience

People using uber/lyft in places with transit are the car owners who don’t want to drive for whatever reason

Those who take transit will likely … keep taking transit

Long story, but my first job was a periodical abstracter and the Economist was always the last journal on the table

There was a big bonus for taking the last book (you got first pick of the next batch) and it would sit there for *hours*

Not (just) bc its defense of capitalism. Just bc it stinks!

Well you got off to a great start. ;) Ricky could be the steal of the year if he finishes #2 behind Gannon

Kristiansen Steen, though. I am pondering that one ... I can think of 4-5 other fpos I'd take first. She does rank high

Don't tell Dave, but Evan Smith is out for half the season (paternity)

"working people" include people of color and women who live in cities

in fact, that's the majority of working people

Neither here nor there, but this is literally the first published article/commentary I've read that uses the term "Department of War" seriously

"some sort of republic" ...

Such as, for example, the Islamic Republic of Iran?

Yes (bitcoin since 2009 and meme coins like dogecoin since 2013), but the huge boom came in 2020-21

1 BTC was ~$6K in March 2020. By January 7, 2021, it was more than $40K

Coinbase IPO and Bored Ape Yacht Club launch were in April 2021 etc etc

Another part is that most people in the US have no idea what "the right way" to immigrate is, because there is no one "right way"

Lots of the people getting detained and deported were doing it "the right way"

MAGA media feud erupts over Trump’s war against Iran: "We're not supposed to be running around doing this anymore." Media figures in right-leaning spaces are bickering about President Donald Trump’s war on Iran. The strikes so far have reportedly killedΒ multipleΒ Iranian leaders andΒ many civilians; three American se...

It's interesting to see who's falling in line and who isn't

Most of the "objectors" are independent "influencers" while the backers are corporate types from Fox News, Newsmax

I'm sympathetic to anyone separated from their kids (even if they do have more than adequate coverage and resources). Good luck to that couple 🀞

The Trump doctrine: β€˜The rest will be up to you’ Critics say President Donald Trump’s attack on Iran combines the worst aspects of past U.S. military interventions.

We kill your leader. The rest will be up to you!

"Neither Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth nor Gen. Dan Caine shed much more light on what the mission in Iran is expected to accomplish."
