There are super powerful blocking features in bsky and there are people actively curating block lists for all of those kinds of folks.

That kind of comment is uncalled for. You have no idea what his working hours are or what his situation is. It could be interpreted as a personal attack.

I'd be wary of Bohm. He is not a good fielder and has had one year (2024) with more than 1 WAR. In that one year, he didn't hit in the second half.

And honestly, why should the taxpayers foot the bill. I see how it works in some places with a deep passion for a team, or a historic team, where loads of businesses depend on that team. Tampa has none of that. Lukewarm fanbase that is just as likely to be rooting for the road team, no real roots, they jettison their anchor star players the second they deserve raises and there is no real financial district around that awful stadium. Nashville would flip out over a Major League Team. The rumored stadium site right next to the football stadium. Lots of things just walking distance or a quick shuttle away. The Rays are a bit of an afterthought in Tampa.

I have no clue why it decided I had an invalid handle. I just changed the handle to CMRivdog52@cemyers52.bsky.social. Lets see if that works.

You actually did by voting for Trump.

From another forum

OJ had an all-time slash line of 61/11236/2 TDs, rushing yards and, ahem.

We're in the midst of a full on takeover by lunatics, anti-vaxxers, fascists, and alleged sexual traffickers and this guy is concerned and talking about ratings?

Susan Collins was right, Trump has learned his lesson. And that lesson was that there are no repercussions for anything he will do, no matter how far he pushes the boundaries or how crazy he makes things.

I should warn you that I follow a lot of pedestrian safety/public transit oriented people (or will be if I can find everyone I followed on twitter) which may not be everyone's cup of tea. But my handle is: @epl-type7greenline.bsky.social

He has security clearance as he has defense contracts. I’m guessing someone did do an investigation in order to give him that.

Tork is going to be on First base opening day. It's very clear player development is the path Harris is taking. He is very good at drafting and development and waiver wire grabs. Not so sure how good of trader he is of yet, seems overly cautious which might be ok, and Illitch will spend reluctantly but Harris knows that if he pays for a Lemon he could be golfing with Al..and Baez-Zimmerman-etc etc...

Richardson is so inaccurate that defenders can’t even catch his passes.

Tulsi to DNI is apparently the thing they wanted to hide with the Hegspeth pick for SecDef Angry ‪@angrystaffer.bsky.social‬ Tulsi in a national security role would be a disaster. She’s a Putin and Assad apologist and has completely misguided foreign policy opinions. This is how you start off alienating our allies.

I would tend to agree that for heavy engines diesel's are going to be harder to replace than getting gasoline engines off the street. One aspect of this that gets sort of into the weeds technically but that is interesting to me because of my history, is that if demand for gasoline falls precipitously, which there is every likelihood is going to happen in the next 30-40 yrs, but demand for diesel and jet fuel do not - and it's hard to see how they can drop anywhere nearly as fast, there is going to be a very hard question of what refiner's are going to do with all the light ends they are going to have left over. The Otto engine was invented/gained popularity in the first place because gasoline was cheap and available because the major refinery product back then was medium weight oil - heating/lighting etc and the gasoline was left over. It's generally harder to process small molecules into larger ones and since the rise of the spark engine, gasoline has long been the major refinery output, there wasn't much need to. To reconfigure refining in so major a way will cost refiners huge dollars when they are facing overall shrinking sales volume. To me this is the kind of real world tech 'gotcha' laying in the weeds out there that flies well below any academic or political consciousness about the future.

Monty would have had Killian in the game throwing that pass. He should have been sued by the organization for coaching malpractice and stealing money.

Until proven otherwise, I don't believe that they are interested in any kind of contractual risk. I expect a medium sized right handed bat acquired via trade and a few starting pitchers on cost controlled deals. I don't think a Skubal window exists for them. It will be 80% about internal development.

I am really good, thanks for asking. Traveling a bunch for my new gig. Been in Chicago working on organic diesel engine tech with the big three engineers. Clean diesel is closer to reality then EV now!

I guess it's technically a timer, since timers count down and clocks count up. So, timer's ticking. Meaning someone's fi'na get booted.

They will need to develop an iPad version of Bluesky, soon, I hope.

Elon had hair transplants, his face worked on, and he promotes boner pills and testosterone.... some would call that "gender affirming care".

PFF needs a special rating system for plays made after someone ****s themselves.

There is always the consideration that this guy is cannon fodder to give the opposition something to waste their time on and so they get their real crazies (Tulsi Gabbard, Kristi Noem, etc.) to other positions.

Indeed. I read that as well. I think they did that only a year ago. Perfect timing!

This is an instant bsky classic. This dude who wrote this article just learned what alf hog was and its a lil too late https://bsky.app/profile/alexkirshner.com/post/3lasgfqms322f

Sissy Space X and what’s his name. The doorway to whatever room they’d work in will need to be about 20 feet wide to fit their heads.

So the government efficiency group needs 2 chairmen. Efficient.

This kind of thing has to drive the serious project 2025 people crazy because if you put someone in charge who is a total rank amateur, it doesn't matter what the policies are or try to be, they don't have the first idea where the buttons and knobs are to actually to do anything, they have no idea how to 'operate' the job, who to call, etc. It's like dropping a airline travel writer behind the stick of a 787 and saying "there ya go! Run it like you think it should be run." Trump apparently learned less in this first time around the bend than I thought he might of, making the same mistakes over again.

I'm not a fan of dark courts on TV.

Not caring if people get deported and killed because they didn't vote the way you wanted sounds very Trumpy to me.

98% of the vouchers go to religious schools. Doesn't that violate the separation of Church and State (one of the foundations the nation was founded on)? Do the churches pay taxes on tuition money? Once again I'm not opposed to private schools, but as a taxpayer whose child left the system 20 plus years ago why should I be underwriting religious indoctrination? And yes you may have an opportunity to practice whatever religion you choose, I have no problem there. Just don't do it at my expense.

Conversely, what do you say to the kids who live in places like I grew up in (rural, 30 miles from the nearest city of significance, school district one of the largest employers in town) where voucher dollars suck money out of the local school systems and subsequently lower the quality for everyone not lucky enough to have the opportunity to get into a charter school? I understand the pros of vouchers, but let's not pretend that their impacts play out as a net plus for everyone in society.

X is state run media now. Telsavda.
