Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 5hsometimes writing about bluesky discourse means you're just too deep in the echo chamber but other times bluesky discourse uncovers the unsettling reality that there are minecraft jokes coded into an official government website techcrunch.com/2026/09/29/a...techcrunch.comAmerica.gov gets really weird when you ask it about Minecraft, but it's not a glitch | TechCrunchFor the sake of national security, it's a relief to learn that America.gov is not hallucinating to the point that it's penning lengthy poetry. 2145

And you know what happened to them? That's right. They were called "the hollow men of the baseball postseason" by their hometown paper and swept out of the playoffs. 913227

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 7hi grew up a marlins fan but became a phillies fan after living in [redacted] for a long time. part of why i jumped ship was bc the marlins DONT WANT FANS, they don't even TRY to win, they are only a financial asset for the owner. so when the phillies disappoint me i try to remember...could be worse? 120
