I’m choosing to believe all of this is a ‘severed monkey paw finger close’ response to Matt Y.’s warning/complaint piece about The Crank Realignment

Honestly I think there’s an element of “once you have 10k followers (or whatever) you aren’t just a person any more you are a Brand and lose the right to be a grumbly lil trashgremlin who likes to Post with the oomphies for kicks“

Given the news and reaction I think it’s safe to say that, unfortunately, this all seems likely to get dramatically worse rather than better in the immediate future

I didn’t just fall in to that trap, I sprinted then dove into a double backflip before impacting the concrete floor of it

I’m cheating a bit because Bryan Adams was born there (which I only know because somebody used it as a trivia gotcha for “best selling artist from Kingston, Ontario”), though Yes

Kingston is, like, Cedar Rapids-sized so that’s actually pretty amazing

This is just VOTERS (the mara family) loudly expressing that their LEADERS (Brian Daboll but hilariously not Joe Schoen) failed to do what they elected them to do (win with an absolutely garbage roster in the same division as Philly) and anybody calling it POSTER’S RAGE is LYING to you (is right)

Possibly the most important distinction in retail

It is, in a word, Bad Process. And bad process matters an awful lot more to me than whether you happen to incidentally be right this one time once you start asking to be in charge of actual things on the go-forward.

That whole second clause applies to just about every bluesky politics fixation to a degree I didn't fully process until last night

Absurd team, imo

And what the calls from impacted Feds and contractors were doing every day for the last couple weeks.
