I posted a joke the other day about how my kid wanted a Mickey song that didn't exist, and a bunch of people were like "just AI to make it." I understand needing to please a toddler, but man--that's just not how I want him to think about music at all. It's not a vending machine.

Did you ask that professor for the name of his doctor? Whoever it is must be prescribing something intense if this man thinks either of those traits belong in the same zip code as this President.

So Tennessee has a better record than Lane Kiffin and LSU? I can take that.

It is mildly infuriating to see people who are in charge of some of the main AI platforms (& the biggest companies in the world) talk about what "we should do" as if they aren't already in control. You think AI is dangerous? Then just stop pushing it into every crevasse of your company. 🤷

You know, with everything going on in the world, it's reassuring that some things are starting to return to normal.

Ole Miss - 42

Sure. How did the color pattern for Holstein cattle become the default "cow print?" There are hundreds of other cattle breeds, but if you look up "cow" it's always a black and white Holstein. My only theory is that it's due to early print or animated cartoons that were in black and white. 🤷 🐄

For context, no team in WNBA history has come back to win a series after being down 0-2 in a best of 5 series. So far they are 0-19 all time.

Michael Coley @mcoley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

With the Dream and the Valkyries both winning last night, we're now guaranteed WNBA history in the next few days. One of two things will happen: 1) Either LV or NY will come back & win after being down 0-2 in a best of 5, or 2) Either the Dream or Valkyries will win their first title. #WNBA

The Dream hold on to beat the Liberty, 101-98, in OT behind six players in double figures and huge nights from Jordin Canada and Angel Reese. The Dream are one win away from making the Finals. Teams with a 2-0 lead in a best-of-five series have a series record of 19-0 in WNBA playoff history.

As President Donald Trump refuses to rule out taking extreme action in the midterm elections, voting rights advocates and civil rights leaders are bolstering their voter protection efforts in anticipation of possible federal interference.

Oh for sure. With so many different elements on that single page, it's easy for a few things to be missed. Plus I just have an eye for these kind of issues, so most people would probably never notice.

Looks good! Small thing that I noticed - It looks like some of the cards for the State Senate races don't list the district number like the others. I'm not sure if that's a style choice or a mistake, so I wanted to mention it.

I feel like doubtful is "probably not" and questionable is "at least 50/50." But I could be wrong. 🤷

Oh dang. That's my literal nightmare. You don't know me from Adam, and I don't think there's anything I can do to actually help, but I hope you find a good solution. It's tough out there.

Not quite the same, but I got Red Dead Redemption 2 to 97% and then quit with one achievement left. It was so good I didn't want it to end, so in a way it never did for me.

Michael Coley @mcoley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I absolutely agree with you, and this merger should not be allowed. Having said that, this list is a little longer than it should be. Stuff like listing TNT & TNT Sports separate feels a little disingenuous since those are the same channel. Small thing, but just wanted to mention it.

Great win by the Valkyries. Now I just hope someone checks on Coach Nakase. Her going down like she did towards the end of the game was scary.

If this is about the TN botched execution from last night, don't forget to blame both our governor who refused to step in and the supreme court who overtuned a stay that was put in place earlier yesterday. They're in such a rush to be "tough on crime" that they can't do any of this right.

Michael Coley @mcoley.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

My thoughts exactly. I personally thought Gabby should win, but I did not see it being this big of a difference between the three of them. Makes me wonder what will happen with MVP. At least on that one voters have to rank their top 5.

So excited that @nashseverewx.com is expanding to cover Wilson County! I already watch & follow because storms almost always move through Nashville before hitting our area of Wilson County, but having specific coverage is going to be even more helpful. Love these guys & all they do to keep us safe.

This is why I love Bluesky for sports.

Two back to back posts saying a call is and is not a foul.

Michael Coley @mcoley.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yeah, and the 6th foul on Rhyne Howard was just baffling. I think they were expecting her to set an illegal screen but just called it before she even got the chance to do anything.

Yeah, I grew up at a time when the ideal way of "dealing" with problems was framed as making the two people talk it out, and not enough people learned or figured out that doing that is actually a horrible way to deal with serious problems. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I'm not sure if it's because I switched to a new phone or because it's getting close to November, but the number of "donate to me" campaign/spam/scam texts I get has sky rocketed over the last 2 weeks. I report them all as spam (because I never asked to get any of them), but they keep coming!

People keep saying "this is not a normal 8 seed". Well yeah, because for years we had 8 out of 12 teams making the playoffs. 2/3 down the table, still in the postseason. Now it's 8 of 15, so you need to be middle of the pack to make it. Big difference even before considering anything else. #WNBA

How do they plan to grow the user base without encouraging the same toxic behaviors or attracting the same toxic people that made so many of us leave Twitter/X for Bluesky? Basically I get the site needs to grow, but we left Twitter/X to come here for a reason, so just redoing that cycle isn't good.

This is obviously great for Olivia, and she absolutely deserves it. Having said that, the random Hereford bull painting behind her is cracking me up. No one else will care, but since that's the breed of cattle my family raises, I immediately spotted it. 🤣
