Unexpected cruelty coming by way of the @theathletic.bsky.social for @mariners.com fans: Editor’s note: Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated the Mariners’ playoff odds. The odds are 44.1 percent, not 92.4 percent.

Digging through more than 900 episodes was bound to yield some surprises — and some warm memories. The experience didn’t disappoint.

If your world opened up thanks to the effort of an elementary, high school or college teacher, read this. If your young world never opened up thanks to the effort of an elementary, high school or college teacher, I'm sorry. But still read this. Thanks Elizabeth Egan and @nytimes: shorturl.at/rAQ79

Loved @mirjordan & @rachelbujalski's @nytimes story not just because I'm a fmr print journo or because I was born and raised in Modesto (and worked at the @modbee), but also because Gil Howard and the Afghan women he helps are so worth reading about: www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/u...

FROM THE NYTIMES: John Archibald, who has been a journalist in Birmingham, Ala., for years, was anxious about his son Ramsey’s decision to go into journalism. He needn’t have worried.

In the late '70s, my siblings and I bought #HarryBelafonte concert tickets for my mom & dad. My mom, a Panamanian, loved the man. She came back from the show dizzy with excitement. Dad too, but nothing like Mom's reaction. 🤣 www.nytimes.com/2023/04/25/arts/mus…

Hey, @jaypeters.bsky.social. Nice Verge story on BlueSky. I’m here also and I like it but I’m not having much luck finding media members/orgs. I agree it is WAY less of a cesspool than Twitter but it’s also less interactive. Are you going to do a folo or a comparison to Mastodon or Post?

The Fox/Dominion settlement — www.nytimes.com/2023/04/19/opinion/… — is such a shame no matter where you fall on your opinion of what the 1st Ammendment protects and what journalism ethics mean.
