Guys it’s been this way for a while but sports communities are better on a Bluesky.
A post of orioles fans on Bluesky making nearly the same comment -  in response to play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy saying he’s “never seen this kind of call challenged” - that what he claims to have never seen happen before happened last week in an Orioles game

That otter who steals surf boards is back at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz stealing surf boards again. Please appreciate this artist’s rendering I created during 841’s first reign of terror back in 2023

Screen shot of Wikipedia page for Betteridge’s law of headlines that reads: Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
thehandbasket.co
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

It’s the inverse of the strategy conservatives used for 30+ years - bad faith complaints that the media is biased and unfair for asking legit questions - and the only way to break the media’s tendency of letting the GOP be its assignment editor

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.
