There have been 6 players traded in NFL history who were 30 or younger and had at least 6 All-Pro seasons. 2 of them were traded this season. Both to the NFC West.

Wow. HUGE get for the Hawks.

First professional, paid editor/reviewer read my novel and provided two pieces of feedback. 1. “Open up the prose, let it breathe, don’t be in such a rush.” 2. “Cut 40,000 words”

Fuck all the way off with the anti-immigrant rhetoric. It has no place whatsoever in society. 97 percent of us are immigrants. If you hate immigrants you hate America, full stop.

Word REALLY wants my story to feature "six-armed men."

Hey, @cousinmary.bsky.social. What do you call it when you've completed your text, everything is prose, beginning to end? You can't say it's "Done" because there are weeks of editing ahead. But you aren't "Writing" it any more either. What's that stage of the process called?

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

Whenever I read John’s posts I think, “Oh, is he watching a feed that’s ahead of mine?” Then I remember that I’m actually at the game.

The Seahawks have now played two pretty messy and awful games in a row and I don't know if that means anything, yet

Four of six sections complete. Spent the weekend cutting, so now down to 110,000 words. Will have to cut a lot more, but I’m dangerously close to being done with this thing.

I’m writing a book. After a lifetime of friends telling me I should do it, I finally gave it a shot & it is so much fun. In a perfect world I’ll get an agent & a publisher, but I know that the chances of that are small. 130,000 words in, and a bit more to finish. Then, edit like mad. Wish me luck.

I’m not a big Verlander fan, but kudos to the Tigers for doing the right thing in this moment. Very cool.

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.
