iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This is my biggest gripe about baseball. So much of baseball's mythology is wrapped up in the idea that it's a "pastoral game," as if it weren't invented in the middle of New York City.

It's gonna feel weird seeing Brandon McNulty in the Rainbow Jersey over the next year.

I can not believe it! Brandon McNulty is the world champion! This is the wildest one-day upset I've seen since the Tokyo Olympics.

191

Oh, no! The gap is only 10 seconds!

100

Last lap! Brandon McNulty is ahead by over 50 seconds! An American could be world champion for the first time since 1993.

020

By god, that's Remco Evenepoel's music! I think Brandon McNulty may be out of reach.

No, but I'm not a professional on a World Tour team.

000

Bro, we're doing laps of a circuit. How do you misjudge a corner that poorly the 9th time around?

200

Welcome to the Ben Healy Show! He caught the leaders, and he ain't stopping. Ben doesn't know the word quit. What a world championship road race!

030

There is no let-up! Remco, with gas still left in the tank, pushing the chasers forward. Then, Del Toro launches his own attack off the front of the group.

Slovene Unc still has it! Primož dropped Wout and is rolling back the years!

As @dreharrison.bsky.social would say, "time for some Mathieu van der Poel bullshit!" (complimentary)

85km to go in the men's world championship race. Wout, MvdP, Roglič. The heavy-hitters are at the front... and Quinn Simmons. 🤢

It's how elected officials should be "picking their battles."

That makes sense considering the wartime relaxation of traditional ironman rules. The big schools could really "stretch their feet" and really get to use their depth by having dedicated offenses and defenses for their first time.

For real, one of my favorite artists right now is signed to a major label and relatively successful but their audience is easily under 500,000 people.

The Rainbow Jersey is my favorite world championship trophy because Demi Vollering now has to wear it in races over the next year. More sports need wearable trophies!

2341

Demi Vollering has done it! The two-time Tour de France winner is finally the World Champion! The event's longest-ever race came down to a head-to-head sprint with Kasia Niewiadoma.

It always feels weird seeing an international bicycle race on North American roads. Our roads are just so wide compared to the typical European parcours.

161

My main event today, the women's road race at the UCI World Championships. 181km in Montreal. 141 riders. 1st across the line gets to wear the Rainbow Jersey for the next year.

George Russell grand slams the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. I thought it would be a cakewalk after the safety car, but Max wasn't giving up. #F1

020

Meanwhile, that damn Italian. #F1

What was Franco Colapinto thinking?! #F1

261

Safety car!!! Albon's in the TecPro. Not gonna lie, that hit harder than caffeine. #F1

011

The Cadillac F1 Team is getting that sweet, sweet TV time... by getting lapped. #F1

021

Ugh! Not the best start for Charles Leclerc. #F1

Basically, I find it absurd how little-known Mike Hawthorn is today, despite how much his fellow drivers hated him while he was alive. I gotta keep the hate alive.

I watched Reacher for the first time, as in watched all 4 seasons over the past 2 weeks. Wow, I can see why people call this guy a murderhobo. Season 1's mystery really got me hooked, but this guy will literally kill his way out of any hole he's in without hesitation.

Also, access. There are a few of shows from the 2000s that I just didn't watch until recently because they were on HBO. It's even worse now with the different streaming services. At least, it's all on-demand and not on a set schedule.

Thanks to the discourse, "Choosin' Texas" is stuck in my head.

I've never listened to this song by choice, but I can recite every lyric by heart. I don’t know how.

For comparison, 25.7 million people watched Sunday Night Football last week. Network TV still has the most-watched programs across mass media, but fewer people are watching it now than ever.

Ryan Erik King @ryanerikking.com · 21/09/2026

It's out of 128 million. The viewership is measured in TV households, not people. 3 million is still impressive, given how fragmented pop culture has become. Hannity on Fox News peaked at 5.1 million this year. World News Tonight on ABC peaked at 8.2 million.

They probably also can't grasp that the US network TV audience every night is still double this site's daily user base.

I would definitely be a Labrador-brained Travis Kelce in that situation. I can't comprehend what you're saying, but it sounds cool.
