First season of Quarterback, Kirk Cousins was pretty likable. Not so much in the second season.

I don't know why, but I am incredibly annoyed by people who lightly misuse technology. Having no clue is way more manageable to me emotionally than someone who selects each slide on a google slide deck while they're presenting it to you rather than using the "slideshow" button.

I just read the @civictechallies.bsky.social newsletter and saw this list of upcoming events and it gave me tremendous hope.

Just got a call where it was an automated message that told me to call back a DIFFERENT NUMBER to schedule an appointment. Like... why did you call in the first place? Why not an e-mail? Why not a text? I don't understand!

I wonder if the most effective way to affect change is to, as a philanthropist, give very large subsidies to people in SOLIDLY blue states to move to large purple, but leaning red states so that eventually it becomes much easier for the left to win without having to just "beat Trump"

How could the government (federal and state level) incentivize the building of affordable starter homes and more generally, affordable housing? And what knock on effects would/could occur?

there's a principle in improvised music and comedy -- "first thought, best thought" -- I can't stress enough that this principle is of almost no value outside those fields, and that we are living through a time when everybody thinks that it's actually an all-purpose credo

The bigger problem with flying cars is not the technology, but the safety.

College kids are real, real incompatible with 45yos — I wake up at 2:30 and have to pee after hours of sleep and they are still awake just beginning to wind down.

It bugs the shit out of me that after a SUPER BOWL loss, all that any of the talking heads can talk about is the failure of the losing team. What they should've done differently. How this head coach's legacy will be remembered... how much bullshit is that? One team can win. The other is still great.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!

RFK Jr is an anti-vax conspiracy theorist whose campaign is bankrolled by the far right to serve as a spoiler candidate in the general election!

His entire family has disowned him because even they know: he's no good!

After backing 2 or 3 different board games on Kickstarter over a few years and seeing the delays and general disappointment, I swore off of it around 2020.

@jonbois.bsky.social - you guys do a huge, amazing Vikings history and then they start 0-3. Is this the Dorktown Jinx?

@jonbois.bsky.social is 70-20 a new scorigami?

The Johnny Football documentary on Netflix shows the difference between a player like Manziel who saw and carried himself as better and separate from the team and someone like Brady who every teammate from about 2007 onwards talked about how he helped level everyone else around him up.
