In my professional opinion, the Protect College Sports Act is bad, actually, and I hope it doesn't pass. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/the-protec...

The Protect College Sports Act is a bad bill, and I hope it doesn't become law
In my professional judgement, this legislation will not do the things its advocates say it will.

Laying off your soccer reporter when Lionel Messi is playing in your city is a sorry state of affairs.

I know the sports fan in me is going to dominate my feelings tonight, but I'm not going to be able to let the way this happened go.
I'll cut to the chase and just blurt out that all of this is making it difficult to know how to thread the needle of my feelings about tonight's game. As a fan of the USMNT who also despises FIFA and the current presidential administration and sees the influence of latter upon the former as a there's a war happening in my head.

Chalking the whole episode up to standard FIFA corruption and therefore unremarkable as a example of the genre feels like a dodge of the ethical implications. Letting ourselves off the hook of facing up to what it means that our corrupt president acted corruptly in the interest of our soccer team might be the simplest thing to do, but it's also the most poisonous.

YouTube TV basically just including all of the Peacock sports means today has been an incredible quad box day.

Reminder that memory manufacturers (including Samsung, Hynix, and Micron) were found to be an actual dictionary definition "cartel" back in the 2000s and were accused of illegal price fixing again in the late 2010s. They have been trying to screw you for literal decades.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy. 2. Don’t establish other revenue sources. 3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right. 4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls. 5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.

Crestfallen and f$&@ furious about the closure as we know it of @postsports.bsky.social by an indifferent, compromised owner and a failing publisher — a dept of Povich and Boswell, Wilbon and Kornheiser, Gildea and Sheinin, of poets, authors, Hall of Famers and Pulitzer finalists. A terrible day.

I am immediately more interested in this PSU - MSU game than this year's Winter Classic because of the setting. The aerial shots with the snow are incredible. 70k tickets sold. Feels like the NHL continues to miss out by not doing Pens v Flyers there.

Didn't catch this in the cooler at the store, but I guess that's the point. It really does sour me on the brewery as a whole to use AI can art. I'd be happier with a boring, plain label since it's a seasonal release.
The label for Rotunda Brewing Company's Winter Warmer with an AI generated image of 5 people around the campfire, 3 men and 2 women, but with just  1 male and 1 female model.

"NWSL clubs across the country are making massive inroads in terms of popularity and relevance. But there are few other markets where the narrowing of the popularity gap between NWSL and MLS has been made so apparent as it has in DC." By @mlsist.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Washington Spirit seize the moment as DC United stumble in city of unrest
The rise of the NWSL’s Spirit and fall of MLS’s United are emblematic of the two ownership groups’ commitment to fans and the culture of a unique city

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

For whatever reason, my reaction to world events this year has been to add capabilities to my home server and NAS. It's been so satisfying, and I'd recommend it to anyone. While #TrueNAS has been great for me, I really do hope #HexOS makes this more accessible for the average person.
