You’ll be hearing from my lawyer. Not to threaten litigation or anything. Just, you know, to commiserate with you about my behavior.

My personal BlueSky etiquette:
1. If I make up a fake social media post, it will be in dark mode.
2. If I make up a fake pleading, it won't be in dark mode because that would look silly. Look for context clues.
3. I will quote skeet Mitch, he's a big boy. He can handle it.

Some BlueSky etiquette that I do my best to follow:
1. When possible, I link to articles and primary sources;
2. When possible, I link to materials that do not have a paywall;
3. When possible, I react to insulting inflammatory responses by blocking; and
4. I reply rather than quote posting.

Lots of new followers coming in so I am going to re-up this.
I am not a reliable source of information. I will link to the pleading if it is real.
I am barely a reliable source of entertainment.

Unfortunately Marx's obsession with Hegel makes it very hard to trust his judgment about the quality of philosophers.

In this skeet, Ken is referencing the sketch Carnac the Magnificent, where Johnny Carson played the role of Carnac and would “psychically” divine the question to which three answers was responsive.
Johnny Carson was the host of the Tonight Show.
The Tonight Show was an old timey comic talk show.

I also think modern teams would adjust faster to rule differences further back in time than vice versa. Play under 1990 contact standards? Modern team would adjust, more contact from DBs and devastating hits. Older players adjusting to modern rules would be unending penalty machines.

To be clear, Wilkins is not likely to be an undercover Mossad agent conducting a honeypot. If that were true, she would be like "no sweetie, I would love to sit in on the boring intelligence meetings so I can see what your days are like" instead of castle tours and jetskis.
