First up ... Pitchers and Catchers are reporting, so that means another season of #BlueJays baseball is just around the corner. Exciting!!

With a couple days to digest it, I want to say something about Bo Bichette leaving the Blue Jays. While Bo wasn't my fav player, he was a solid presence; always getting a hit, going all out to make a defensive play. Maybe that all-out play got him injured at times, but it was his approach.

On the other site, a bunch of #BlueJays fans were posting their gift hauls and of course some sour Dodgers fans had to try and rain on their parade. Thank goodness this is a small minority of LA fans, but what sore winners these guys are to rob other fans of the joy of their gifts?

So, let's see what's up at the bad site... "Keep writing with X Premium, now null% off (for a limited time)" Wow, null% off, what a DEAL!! (I'll never pay for Twitter)

This is proof that artists DO have some leverage in the whole Ticketmaster monopoly system -- because as it is right now, there are feelings that there isn't any artist power. Ticketmaster/Live Nation should 100% be broken up, but in the meantime artists should push back.

Since the offseason began, I've seen more Dodger fans complaining about how the Jays and their fans "celebrated too much/early". My guess is this is a vocal minority, but I'm amazed they seem to need to put down the other team rather than celebrate their own? It's okay to celebrate your team!!

There's a new trend on the "bad site" which I have to say, I'm kind of loving. Some dork tried to dunk on a lady who was celebrating getting her PhD, with "no one says 'look at the degree on that chick'". She pushed back, and I've seen hundreds of other women replying with pics from their school!

After a bunch of Jays fans were mad about players not getting Gold Gloves or winning other awards, and then winning a couple awards ... I'm now seeing other team's fans mad at their guy not winning this award or that; I'm guessing that this is a fan favorite - complaining why YOUR guys didn't win!

It's worse than just risk pools, it's misunderstanding how insurance works in general. If a shingle falls off your house or your toaster goes kaput, you can probably swing it to fix that. But if wind rips your roof off, you need a new roof tomorrow, and that is big $$$.

It was a devastating loss and not the result that the Team or us fans deserved. But, I'm not disappointed in the least; they played their hearts out, they gave us a World Series run and are just the best team we've had in the last ten years. Grateful, humble, loved the entire season. #GoJaysGo

It's crazy that in the blink of an eye, you can go from down 2-1 to up 3-2. Incredibly blessed to go to the Game 5 watch party at the Rogers Center, and watch the Jays do their thing. As Vladdy says, need one more. #GoJaysGo

While it's heartbreaking to lose in 18 innings, the Jays have shown themselves to be a pretty decent pitching and defensive club; I think they can feel good that they were able to hang in there that long. Hoping for a better result today, do what you know how to do boys! #GoJaysGo

Wow, so my browser crashed and when I logged back into Bsky, it took me to the following feed by default. Just going to say I have followed a lot of awesome people and I forgot how amazing that feed actually is; going to hang out there more often now.

Saw one of the hardcore MAGA influencers on the bad site complaining because Coney Barrett isn't towing the line quite like they want. These people don't want people that do jobs, they want cheerleaders who do exactly what they think they should. Funny that even super-biased picks are not perfect!

The chief twit is complaining on the bad site about how the US will go bankrupt since 25% of revenues go to paying down debt now. The party he helped get in is giving massive tax cuts to guys like him, and when he had a chance he made a penny or two of savings on a dollars worth of spending.

Well, lots complain how polluted their feed on Twit has become, but now Loomer is showing up on my feed. I've 100% never interacted with her, & I think it shows how desperate the chief twit has become in bending the FYP to the right. Only upside is she's apparently mad about flags of the Ukraine!

I don't write enough here lately but was checking in at the bad place, and after pushing back mildly against some false info almost 100% of my feed is far right influencers. But let's hear more about how the Chief Twit brought "balance" to the force or something.

Sorry, from the other place... elonmusk: In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people -- So, a few things. First, I don't follow and almost never interact with the chief twit. 2nd, dude couldn't get a court judge elected in Wisconsin. Most Amer. hate him.

& a broader look at NSF cuts across all funded fields by my Upshot colleagues: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article)
The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

This is more than awful; it's not just a year or two impact, it'll derail research for a decade or more, as projects that got cut or were approved and now don't get funding will be very hard to put back together. Incredible own goal for no reason.

Okay, my terrible #leafs take is here. They weren't THAT bad this year. Two of their loses they played well; and if one of the other two they'd played like they did in Game 6, then they had a real shot at winning the series. How do we get THAT team to show up for Round 2 and beyond?

Ger in the Cloud @cloudsec9.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
This is WORSE than I thought. Submitting an application to the NSF is not easy; there are lots of i's to dot and t's to cross, and generally a few people have to come together to apply as a group. That these bozos, without understanding or background, are weighing in IN ANY WAY on *APPROVED* apps

Ger in the Cloud @cloudsec9.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
The NSF is supposed to be a body that is devoid of political influence, making decisions based on science. And for most of it's history, it has done so admirably. That people are resigning in protest is MORE than troubling; this should be a 5-alarm fire. This is about ALL research being impacted!!

Chief Twit is claiming that doge is "fixing" the Federal Gov't computer systems. I'm sure that thousands of consultants and employees who spent years or even decades built good and reliable systems, and his minions have NOT fixed anything in the couple months max they had access to things.

Senator Josh Hawley mentioned on the BadSite(tm): We just saw Trump speak for 90 minutes. Biden couldn’t even stand for 90 seconds == I watched a few minutes of him talking; it's the ramblings of a moron. He goes into a tangent every two sentences, and makes the same remark again and again.

I shouldn't be shocked, but the silence from the "Don't tread on me" types about the Government asserting it can search your home without a warrant is truly striking. It's almost as if none of that noise was REALLY about tyranny or defending your rights at all.

That graphic that shows the "loneliness epidemic" tracking up after the first iPhone launch, and blaming smartphones for being lonely. Besides the correlation != causation disclaimer, what I'd say is that I think it's more likely that we're fooled by social media than anything else. 1/

So now, apparently, the right is raging on some Best Buy ad where a girl explains a tablet with a keyboard? I think it's because she has a nose piercing, but some have said it's because she has dyed hair? Honestly it's funny and a bit fun, while doing a great job of explaining what the product is!

Bad site stuff - elonmusk: Twice as many credit cards are issued and active than the total number of government employees! Crazy. === I'm *starting* to think he's really just not that smart. I'm not in the Government, but perhaps they use different cards for different projects, for bookkeeping?

Trump has been talking about possibly adding tariffs to prescription drugs, & it finally struck me. Could do what they are doing with tax breaks and incentives more effectively, but it requires law changes. But, more news cycles like this? When you only have a hammer, a screw looks like a nail.

Seems one of Trump's toadies is on about "there are no US cars in Japan". So, I took a course moons ago on Marketing, and we did a study on US fridges in Japan. Most homes in Japan are very modest, and kitchens are small. Fridge footprint too - but US fridges are HUGE, and don't fit. 1/

A week or so ago I started a thread about how awful it's become on the Bad Site(tm) now. Still of the opinion that a lot of stuff is being shoved into feeds by algorithm tweaks where it wasn't before. But I'm also realizing that a lot of slightly-left or even center people have lots of RW replies.
