It’s getting worse (quickly), but watching sports. Premier League was whatever Fox Soccer showed, NCCA tournament was a single game on CBS, etc

Michael Druker 🇨🇦@mdruker.app

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

The worst people have too much money and power

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action. This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.

At some point? Umm

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

CNBC: "If you just take a step back, this is not a good print for the Fed. At a in a time when we were hoping that inflation on a monthly sequential basis was looking closer to to 2 to 2.5%, we're getting something above that...at some point, higher inflation is gonna start eating into real incomes"

I hate having the dumbest MFers in charge. I really do

Didn’t expect to be emotional about Verlander leaving the game, but what a scene

Casey Drottar@caseydrottar.bsky.social

My goodness, what an incredible moment. After Justin Verlander secured the final out of his career, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch came out of the dugout...to summon Verlander's daughter out to embrace her dad on the mound.

I think my brain would leak out of my ears if I watched this regularly

Hannity complains that alleged fraudsters on Obamacare are "buying islands"

Both. He’d have no fucking clue how we ended up where we are. But pissed we never really got a chance to chase a dream (that probably wouldn’t have worked out as well)

Was a fitting podcast to listen to after dropping my kid off at college.

Started this pod under the name Deadcast 17 years ago. Been a nice run. All my thanks to @davidjroth.bsky.social, @timmarchman.bsky.social, all our guests, and above all else—our audience. It’s been a pleasure and thank you for listening. defector.com/just-a-minut...

defector.comJust A Minute More, With Tim Marchman | DefectorGenerally you would not want to use a word like “catharsis” in relation to a podcast. That is just not what they are for, in my opinion, and it’s not really in my range as a podcast co-host or guest t...

One way seems a lot more fun than the other. Imagine just making it rain for people in need. That would feel amazing

Quite the contrast

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net

To expand on my feelings a little more: It feels to me like so many of “today’s” wealthy and famous and powerful people are real pieces of shit. I feel inspired by learning about all of Dolly Parton’s *choices* to be different and do different. What an impactful, rewarding life.

I’m too online and don’t know anything about Hasan Piker. If that’s all these assholes have, they’re probably pretty fucked

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

WELKER: The NRSC continues to put out posts saying El-Sayed has 'terrorists ties,' but there is no evidence. Should the NRSC stop running those ads? TIM SCOTT: We know without question that he campaigns w/ Piker W: Let's stay focused on El-Sayed though S: Listen, birds of a feather flock together

Sting Ray Robb’s name has made him one of the most recognized racecar drivers in Sunday’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C. “For the profession I’m in, you couldn’t get any better,” he said.

I’ve been capable in every job I’ve gotten. Would have been in plenty I didn’t get, too. But without luck there’s no way I’m where I am today. Luck multiple times over

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

My turn in the barrel. The highest compliment I can pay @mattufford.bsky.social for writing up this VIKINGS edition of Why Your Team Sucks is that it did indeed piss me off. defector.com/why-your-tea...

My favorite photo from the race was Palou hunting down Rosenqvist in the early portion of the race. Turn 1 at Portland is such a unique photo opportunity. So many different angles to get. #IndyCar #PortlandGP

Went to see Guns N Roses in concert and holy shit, they played so many songs I’ve never heard before. The crowd audibly groaned the second time they said “here’s a new song”

This is certainly one way to frame the story

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Former president Joe Biden is undergoing cancer treatment, sharply limiting his post-White House life even as his upcoming memoir threatens to reopen debates on health. President Trump has repeatedly mentioned Biden’s health, according to a Post analysis. https://wapo.st/4vTANJI

You know what, I’m ok just reading the headline and agreeing with it. Need no further detail.

On average, people consume the equivalent of about three espresso shots daily from coffee, tea, soda, energy drinks, chocolate and other foods. Here’s what the latest research shows about how caffeine may affect your health:
