bluesky will struggle to be a great app bc EVERY TIME I'm in a sports watch either the popular w/friends feed or the hashtag/[insert team name] feed fails - or severely lags I know 90% of the people here hate sports. too bad. for the 10% who love 'em microblogging is a great "togetherness" use case

Andrew Painter. Fuckin' hero. No matter what happens the rest of your hopefully long career, we will remember you forever for this moment. #Phillies

If I was Mattingly I would just tell Schwarber and Harper to hit home runs again. This isn't hard. #Phillies

Trea Turner pops up on the first pitch. Of course. What an incredibly shit player he is, and if the season ends in this inning it's fitting. How he got $300m is the top case study in the long history of Phillies stupidity.

Introducing the 2027 Generic Sedan™ Screens! LED lights! More screens!
It's a red Generic Sedan™. Is it Chinese? Japanese? Korean? Maybe it's from Detroit. No, wait, Detroit doesn't make sedans. It couldn't be German. Their sedans rely on heritage design and craftsmanship. Anyhow, the new Generic Sedan™. For the discerning upper class douchebag who values disposable objects and is drawn to the creativity of AI.

Oh wait, my producer is telling me this is a BMW. It may be a 3-series. Probably an overused "M" somewhere in the name that also contains fake engine size numbers.

Look. We didn't have a great season. We might still win this. But if we don't? I hope someone kicks ATL in the teeth. A historically unlikable team with a loathsome, deeply unknowledgeable, fair weather fan base deserves nothing good. #Phillies

I kinda get what Mattingly was going for. But it was stupid. And I still blame the Phillies offense. 3 runs. That's called Not Good®

A-list Celebrity. 40 years old and definitely not washed up.
Light blue Chevrolet Celebrity, excellent condition. No older than '86, no newer than '89. The trim & body were the same all four years so hard to say exactly the year. We know it's at least an '86 because of the CHSML. Apologies for the mirror block.

Interactions off completely because the car posts ain't garnering shit anyway so why remind myself few care.

The Phillies should host a TV reality show in the off-season called "Are You Better Than Trea Turner?" They'd find dozens of prospects in the patrons waiting for their food at Angelo's in South Philly alone. They owe the waste of a roster position $190,909,092 thru 2033.

It was a tough season but omg the hype video. All the feels. Brutal. Self aware. Honest. Optimistic. I'm ready to run through a fuckin' brick wall for my Phillies. little boy for the fans: "do you think they can hear us?" 🥹 Bryce Harper: "loud and clear." 👊 #RedOctober ♥️🤍

Every fan who stuck it out in raw windy drizzle to see the entire game deserves a gift from the Phillies. After that mess it would be a high class move from a team that shows fans they still care. The product on the field sure as hell didn't. Those fans are heros. Or drunk. Either way, reward them.

Best part of tonight's Phillies game was that I didn't get to watch it bc it was senior night for the marching band @ the hs football game, so I went to do the pregame family walk onto the field & support my kid in the stands later. Idk if a Philadelphia sports team ever played with less heart.

Morning cirrus? Morning Cirrus.
Some cirrus clouds. I think they're cirrus. Last time I was tested on this was 4th grade.🗣️🎶 "In the yeeeeeeaaaaar 2000... in the yeeeeeeaaaaar 2000!"

2000 Chrysler Cirrus. One of the JA-platform "cloud cars." These were the most direct descendants of the original K-cars. This beige one is in great shape. These drove well. I had a rental once on a business trip to Bumfuck, Indiana very early in my career and it was completely fine. This was when I had access to the press fleet too. It compared well to its contemporaries.

If you know the intro, we're friends. Also, if you read this far ... same.

if you're resigning from an AI company and suddenly playing the altruist by blowing some whistle that isn't telling us anything new but the press is making you famous, I think you should be asked to disclose how much money you made building death code and tell us what you plan to do with it to atone

Pitching didn't cost the Phillies 2 games. Milwaukee's the best team in baseball & scored 9 runs which is merely league average for 2 games. They lost bc the lousy offense has scored 2 fucking runs their last 18 innings. They're 1 for 16 with RISP. Lack of bats is why we can't have nice things.

This guy was genuinely pissed - an animated lunatic in the side mirror - I took a picture of his car lol. Buddy, you drive a '17 NSX, people are going to take pics of it. Maybe he thought I was going to report him as he was driving it like a complete jackass. Dude, I'm no cop. Just a nerd.
A black Gen2 2017 Acura NSX in front of me at a traffic light. Dude was angry I snagged pics of it. Coming off the highway exit ramp right before this traffic light he was on and off the throttle in unnatural ways and weaving a bit. Not sure he can handle a car that's as easy to drive as a Honda Accord despite its 573bhp. Guess he thought I was gonna narc his jackassery. Naaa. When he crashes it he'll narc on himself. These are rare. So while I don't really care for these [its no Gen1] I took a pic. I didn't geek totally out though as if it was a pristine 1989 Toyota Camry All-Trac. Maybe my subdued nature and autistic resting face freaked him out.
