@kolsky.bsky.social
Just a guy. Also frequent podcaster (thetoydepartment.com, https://youtube.com/@lockedonwarriors) and occasional radio host (@ KNBR-SF). Trying to cover my social media bases (and largely failing).
Hi, I'm Matt Kolsky. I think you'll enjoy my podcast, The #ToyDepartment: thetoydepartment.com... This week my pal @maddenradio.bsky.social & I discuss #TheChallenge, #Landman, #BeingEddie, #Frankenstein, and (weirdly) #Sinners. We have takes, so COME GET SOME!!! (please, if that sounds nice to you)

Definitive proof that Ken Jennings is a @davidjroth.bsky.social guy. I briefly worked with Dave at the Pomona College journalism institution The Student Life (I have his email address, maybe even an old phone number!), ERGO I AM NOW A FRIEND OF THE SHOW to JEOPARDY. Finally. Thank you for listening.
We all love Remembering Guys, but mostly it's just that Cleanthony played so much international ball that it was a good hook for a category about basketball terms in foreign languages.
"International Hoops Terms With Cleanthony Early" has to be the wildest sports category in Jeopardy! history.

Hi friends, a quick pronoun question, and please forgive my ignorance: for fiction-writing purposes, for a person with they/them pronouns, would you use "themself" or "themselves" — as in, the person "said to themself/ves"?

I've been losing respect for Steve Kerr for months now and I HATE it. But how am I supposed to respect someone who does what he did to Kuminga and then has this to say... CAN YOU NOT ADMIT YOU WERE DEAD F@CKING WRONG AFTER EVERYONE IN THE WORLD SAW IT? Come on man, he should be embarrassed.
