jaylen brown getting irritating slow motion drive buckets but to my team's benefit now. incredible. can't believe Boston didn't want to live like this

What does sirianni do? Two years in a row of players getting ejected early from games. Get rid of him.

Think it's time to reckon with the fact that hurts is pretty limited. He's not dilfer but he's more that than he is a guy that can consistently make the offense better. Doesn't excuse Sirianni who makes 4th down decisions like he's on quaaludes

Sirianni needs to go. The decision making is abysmal.

can't watch any of the playoff baseball and think that the phillies were competitive with these teams. they all have pitching and lineup depth. phillies failures are mostly about team construction.

Tony Elliott quickly cementing himself as a horrific game day tactician

memo to the phillies hitters: he's throwing an effing splitter. it is the splitter. it's not a fastball. it's a splitter. you are on "fool me" round 35 at this point.

hurts continues his attempt to become the most maddening quarterback in nfl history

pretty clear it will be one of those alvarado days.

Lebron and Wade in Philly, don't think too hard about the details

Realmuto doesn't challenge enough.

Very funny that the players caught up with how good and fun and honestly respectful the Philly boos are, but this site is full of dorks who will never get it

I love the usmnt bit where they do well and get the "i don't care for sportsball" people to finally watch a match, and then remind those people why they hate sportsball

iberian soccer is boring as hell

what the hell is fox doing? he has been *abysmal*

mitch johnson should probably be fired for this. how do you let your team play this badly in the second half of a won game without getting after them?

it was pretty funny to hear jefferson saying 'getting that block without fouling' while the slo-mo showed harper getting hit in the head, then the arm, then the other arm

what do these people think open source means? or 'a version of...'? going to be a rough two years of journos peddling nonsense to people who don't have a clue.

jose alvarado is strange. sometimes he's oblivious to runners on base, then suddenly when he's got one guy on and two outs, the runner tunnels into his brain and won't leave. he can't think about pitches, he must Do Something about the pesky Guy.

hmm, site doesn't seem to have gotten the news about the AI-generated story that won the commonwealth short story prize. i'm excited for the post-hoc rationalizations. one reason that anti-AI people should be familiar with AI-generated content is so they won't be duped like the contest was.

the thing about the sixers is the whole process thing was derailed by silver and then colangelo then the elton brand era. anyone trying to label that as a process failure is off their rocker.

can't wait for JT to come back, marchan is painful to watch

visited a friend's agrivoltaic facility today, little human learned a lot

having a phillies apertif of despair before the sixers game so I'm in the right mindset

a good heuristic: I'll come back to this site when the comments on a very normal 2026 thing, like this, aren't absolutely insane.

searching 'stancil' over here and apparently the modal opinion is that he's a right-wing agitator. so ends my quarterly check-in on this website. maybe one day it'll be less diseased.

One of those days when this website is on something completely different from the other one and both are trying to pretend a specific thing in the news is not a thing. Fascinating tbh.

a very simple exercise for these people: if you can't say the sentence when you replace "kids/children" with a minority racial demographic of your choice, you should not say the sentence.

yet another indication that this site has fleas: that bret stephens article has 0 attention on the other site. this place guarantees that every weird conservative thought gets immense reach because bluesky can't stop doing dunks like it's 2018

@minakimes.bsky.social catching up on stuff, and just heard you on Pablo's pod saying that for the little guy the ipad is Elmo and the tv is basketball, and that was (is?) also my now 2.5 year old's understanding of those devices. the elmo/ball hive is real.

If you know farmers, esp in the mid-Atlantic, who are interested in considering agrivoltaics to stabilize revenue, well the time is now. Send them our way, we can link them up with devs that don't suck. Get in while tax credit + bonus depreciation is here www.terrasollink.com
