one of the most powerful alpha executive moves you can do in your intro presser is to immediately start whining about social media, setting the tone for a very productive tenure sir !

Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social

Jared Banner said he had a role he wasn’t necessarily looking to leave, but upon meeting with Baltimore’s execs, he was convinced of the Orioles. Added: “In baseball circles, which is a long way from Twitter, we know Mike [Elias] is one of the most talented executives”

life lesson about social media: for anyone who talks like this and can't keep it out of their mouth for even one press availability, the question isn't "do they have a burner?" it's "do they have two? three?"

awfulannouncing.comESPN, University of Utah issue statements after Pat McAfee voices frustration with 'GameDay' experiencePat McAfee did not enjoy his time at the University of Utah this weekend, and got an apology from the school on Monday.

i think pat should be more histrionic and sensitive about this stuff, everyone knows the best way to protect your emotional weak spot is to add glowing lights and a crit mechanic to it

ESPN rushed to Pat McAfee's defense while the University of Utah apologized over a student Instagram video that triggered the ESPN star. awfulannouncing.com/college-foot...

actually i've changed my mind; hysterical media grudges, over the top whining and maudlin televised self-pity are precisely the qualities our nation's car dealership owners look for in a violent authoritarian strongman, we can't keep letting him burnish his political credentials like this

watching SGF play the original PS resident evil on second screen while working and when they remake this in the current house style they're gonna get rid of all the funny shit in this game. not the bad acting, but like the fact every ceiling in this mansion is 15 feet high to accommodate the camera

15h

verdict: the dead cells castlevania looks really really cool, and if i had any ability to do the kind of platforming it requires i lost it a long time ago. precisely the sort of game for watching a professional streamer play

17h

this is just an execution now, time to get some work in on the bike

turns out he doesn't need to

turtle@turtle.labeledrude.online

glad that wasn't a spectacular catch, yelich might not hit another ball that hard this series

lmao at this BK ad getting to brag about getting "real people's real opinions" while giving chicken nuggets to kids. you know damn well it barely matters at all what that shit tasted like, Head Chef Amy

also uh game's going well. once saw felix pie do that same shit chandler simpson did in left field almost 20 years ago

i suspect simpson will end up with the better career, just a feeling

19h

8 PM start time for the world series, so i'll check back in for first pitch in oh half an hour

22h

the ideas in the new castlevania game are pretty good. the actual scripting...well...look, guys, you didn't need to hit the "it's not a trap if i plan to walk into it" line four times in the first three hours. that's a bit much.

21h

the VA are having a lot of fun, especially death's, though again that script has him being way too familiar with our heroine. i'm happy he got to say "hot and wet" like that, but maybe take a slightly different path to get there.

21h

death does get the one standout line the script has had so far, which concerns the relative value of trevor belmont's arm

gonna be real with you, you don't have to screencap the deeply cynical moron sharing a deeply cynical take trying very clumsily to set terms of engagement with his cynicism by prefacing it with "earnest take:"

"oh it's fine when the right wing tries to run the entirety of south america out of a bunch of miami restaurants but you're scolding people for being happy lula won?" yes! these aren't in contradiction, because he thinks the former thing is good and finds the latter upsetting and annoying!

glad that anthropic figured out their unit economics, there was too much good news going on for about 36 hours there

BUM CHILLUPS AKA SPENCER HALL AKA PRESIDENT FOOTBALL

the cheesecake factory thing seems like thin gruel but i thought the same about basket of deplorables and here we are. this shit's always good for a couple of percentage points of pure suburban f150 hitting a crosswalk rage

ancient proprietor and perhaps namesake of the breakfast spot i like on sunday shambled out from the back and hugged each of the women working FOH in turn before leaving and ohhh buddy those all better be your granddaugthers. and i'm real certain at least one of them wasn't your granddaughter.

try not to be too judgmental but the driver of this turquoise jeep wrangler with decals reading GOD IS GREAT, BE AT PEACE, CHILD OF GOD ON BOARD, and PANTY SNATCHER is a menace

not in a lighthearted way either

they're saying "go crew"

polymarket, famous for insisting it is not a betting platform, buying ad space behind home plate asking you to "livetrade" the MLB postseason

flipped over to the WS in time to see christian yelich doing christian yelich things (striking out late on a fastball in the zone)

alright it's time to go back to the old methods (mute the feed, turn on the radio feed through mlb dot tv, manually delay it to sync with the TV)

perfectly synced this within one play of trying; like riding a bike. national playoff broadcasts for this sport have been unfettered, irredeemable dogshit for like 20 years at this point

game 1 WS broadcast was so bad i'm watching a jay white main event collision

we might be double screening by then tbh

there have been some real backdrop drivers in this grand prix

marina doing the full death riders rumble and slap entrance with kemalito fucking rules

jacob misiorowski looks like an xcom thin man

oh hey, this is why instant replay sucks in baseball. we're pixelhunting on second base again

ban it for anything but checking on home runs

soberano jr is wearing gear that makes him look like nekron from soul caliber

he just legdropped kemonito, who has a yoda from soul caliber hitbox

@luchablog.bsky.social we're a little bit over a year from yutani's 8/9/25 lightning match against star jr. in the saturday show where star jr. won, and lmao what a difference

yutani won with a top rope styles clash. the man is simply a star

star jr is not a star but he is willing to take a lot of stupid bullshit moves

yutani is the future. so glad i bought early stock on yutani in 2024 (like that's actually a thing)

this is a CMLL post, not an MLB post

slo mo of umpires staring at balls with their entire body as they land slightly foul is almost enough to make me not hate instant replay with my entire corpus. almost

a rays player fielded a ball in right field like he was an orioles player and a run scored. rip and pip
