for the record i am a fan of “wine beer” guy and wish him the best in life i just think it’s funny ok

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 04/10/2026

being out of college long enough for people to have developed Careers™️ is so funny like this kid who used to pour beer and wine together and call it “wine beer” is now a professor at a major university

broke: rooting for your favorite team to win the world series woke: rooting for the team that would be narratively most useful for illustrating that the salary cap is dumb and that competitive imbalances in baseball come from owner negligence and not money

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 02/10/2026

i kinda don't even care anymore* like this team isn't good enough to win a world series so at least we'll be put out of our misery sooner * i'm lying i care a lot

in which case yeah i mean more ordinary people can run 1000m than marathons but that doesn't mean that olympic sprinters are like, less impressive than marathon runners? idk is this metaphor anything, idk

010

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 30/09/2026

i feel like this is like asking "is it easier to be an olympic 1000m runner or an olympic marathoner" where like yeah technically a marathon is longer but different runners are good at different things and speed and endurance are two different skills and yeah 1000m is shorter but can u go FAST?

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 30/09/2026

yeah AI would probably be better at writing a romance novel than literary fiction bc romance novels have more clearly defined rules and patterns, HOWEVER, that doesn't mean it's easy for an AI to write a GOOD romance novel. it can write something that feels like a romance novel, but it'll be boring.

i wanted to read the book “against convenience” but there’s a long wait at the library so i bought the ebook “against convenience” because i wanted the convenience of getting it sooner

finally finished all my work for the day at 8 pm. it’s almost like between the hours of 2 pm and 5 pm i was incapable of focusing on anything other than the philadelphia phillies. 🤔

sometimes 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.com

America.gov gets really weird when you ask it about Minecraft, but it's not a glitch | TechCrunch

For 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.

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 29/09/2026

as someone who has never played minecraft, is this some sort of weird in-joke reference for minecraft players or is this just REALLY FUCKING WEIRD

if the phillies get eliminated i'm a white sox fan for the next few weeks tbh, it would be crazy to go from the worst season of all time to world series in 2 years. the pope narrative is good.

Yeah. Sure. The Phillies are down to their last shot. But so were the 1976 Phillies, just shy of 50 years ago. 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.

i'm glad that my favorite team that i have always loved, the chicago white sox, is doing well so far

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 29/09/2026

anyway this is just me dealing with the fact that i am depressed about baseball

030

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 29/09/2026

(caveats: i did not watch baseball at all between like 2013-2020 so starting fresh as a phillies fan didn't feel that weird)

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 29/09/2026

i 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?

Amanda Silberling @amanda.omg.lol · 29/09/2026

my boyfriend's brother bought a spell from an etsy witch to make the phillies good but we think it's not working on jt because his devout christianity makes him immune to witches

you know when your team is playing a playoff game in the middle of the work day but also it's one of the busiest weeks of the year for you at work but you can't focus on work because phillies but then you think hey maybe doing my job will be a good distraction but then you get stressed about work

i plan to ask about monetization plans, but i do hope that they have plans to monetize without advertisements — i think a big challenge will be, can you monetize a social platform / protocol without enshitifying it?
