two year rule

anything you're serious about improving at, you should always be able to look back two years and go "what was i cooking"

A reminder that you don't need to understand everything you see

I think the general public prioritizes escapism and acting over good writing nowadays and it really shows because most forms of entertainment are genuinely awful but people eat them up anyway

the older I get the more I find "Father of mine" by Everclear absolutely devastating

Disney+ and Hulu Cancellation Rates Doubled Amid Jimmy Kimmel Suspension Saga According to Antenna, Disney+'s churn for the month increased from 4% to 8%, while Hulu climbed from 5% to 10%

Yeah, holy shit — Disney+ and Hulu lost *twice* as many users as they signed up last month, even counting accounts given away w/ bundles, promos, etc. Every media company has to see now that folding to Trump is an existentially bad business decision. www.thewrap.com/disney-plus-...

Whats on this dope mix?

please put in Brosmer. That way even if we suck we're at least trying something beyond "one read and panic scramble". I'm not a Minnesotan, I'm in CT. This is not a Gophers thing. Just try something other than Wentz, dear god.

Carson Wentz is a human towel. Playing Carson Wentz is throwing in the towel.

I miss Capetown

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.

Any shot jj starts on thurs?

it's not a test. They broke it. Just call the shit what it is, AP.

Bitch, they broke the ceasefire. Say it.

the bad: eagles TD

the good: "Aeroplane" by RHCP as break music

New Work by Gary Larson | TheFarSide.com Get an exclusive look at brand new cartoons and artwork from cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of the iconic comic strip The Far Side®.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

@rhcpsessions.bsky.social and next time there's a RHCP auction you need to win, hmu to help co-finance. It can be sent to you, but the world needs it.

@rhcpsessions.bsky.social someone I think I unsubscribed from Me & My friends? It went in spam but I resubscribed. Sorry I havent praised it much lately. Read a bunch today. It ruled. You rule. THANK YOU HAMISH!

Ace Frehley, lead guitarist in Kiss, dies at 74 The co-founding member of the band was known as the Spaceman and had a hit single of his own in "New York Groove."

A guitar titan is gone. Farewell to the Spaceman; here's my NPR obituary for KISS legend Ace Frehley.

Mr Beast is very emblematic of modern fame where he’s very successful, incredibly rich, gets 12 billion views on everything, and simultaneously, at the very same time, no one gives one single shit about him

I love pile

Remember in One Battle After Another when we briefly see an undercover cop throw a Molotov cocktail to make it look like the protestors started it

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

These are the quarterbacks since 2010 who complete passes at roughly the rate Microsoft Excel’s AI mode accurately edits spreadsheets

sincere Q: how plausible do you think that is?

I miss when Twitter was good and cool. Bluesky is like, pre-that but it's not where Twitter was pre-Elon. Sigh

@WesSteinberg #Giants QB Jason Dart staggered out of the showers, water still dripping down his chest, steam clinging to his skin after winning his first NFL start. His legs trembled, his voice was husky, his eyes half-lidded. He'd been pounded into the turf all afternoon, hit again and again, and every ache showed. But his lips curled into a sly grin. Then Brian Daboll strode over, grabbed him by the neck, and pulled the rookie QB into a sweaty, lingering embrace - steam rising around them

This is not a complaint; this is the least I have ever hated NFL media as a genre
