Seeing how Bluesky is headquartered in America, and how it was developed in parallel with twitter by Jack Dorsey, how long will it be before Leon sues Bluesky for infringement of its IP and demands a court either orders it shut down, or rules that Leon is the rightful owner of its IP and all attendant assets and must be handed over to him? I'm not saying I believe this will happen, I'm just speculating on when he'll try it.

I feel this is like the early days of MotownForums after MotownSports went tits up because of gambling interests.

This will not be the first story to be written about the stampede from X to bsky. https://bsky.app/profile/seankeeley.bsky.social/post/3lawexep5l225

Oh my god, I think I remember that book from the 1960s! My cousin had tried to give me piano lessons at my mom's urging but I was a special ed kid and I couldn't pay regular attention and my cousin was not equipped to deal with that so it ended fairly quickly. But I seem to remember having to do drills using this book.

Well ... yeah. Not a good one, but ...

But see, that's what makes her the perfect Trump pick. They want to show they won't kowtow to nigras like some woke assholes would. They'll want to destroy HUD from the inside. She can do that.

I have pooh-poohed a lot of players here that we have zero chance of getting, but I think there is an actual non-zero chance Sasaki comes here. To be clear, I'm not predicting he will. It's at least a 100-1 shot. But I don't think it's absolute zero, because the Tigers are known to be a team on the rise, have a Japanese-speaking pitcher already in the fold, and have been developing a reputation for being pitcher whisperers. I don't think we'll win him, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that we were a consideration along with the Padres, Mets, Astros, Cubs, and Red Sox. I do think the last two standing will be the Padres and Dodgers.

GOD DAMN IT!

They know it's going to be the reigning AL Cy Young winner starting.

I wonder how ballmich is taking this.

To be replaced by ... ?

Whatever kompromat the Russians had on Vance to make him flip on Trump isn’t going away when he dies.

To answer this, just imagine, where is she the least qualified and thus can do the most damage, hurting and impoverishing the most people? Housing and Urban Development would be a good one for that.

Tremblay. Archdiocese of Ottawa?

We grew up with a piano in the house and none of the seven of us kids bothered to learn to play it. As a result, even though I’m very musical, I’m not a musician. My wife bought me an electric Casio full piano with heavy keys for Xmas some years ago. It would sit for months untouched until I got a song in my head and I would sit down to pick it out, then that would be it for another long stretch of time. In the past year, I was at my brother’s for Thanksgiving. He has a piano (again, doesn’t know how to play it) and some of the kids were plinking around with it. I joined for a couple minutes but couldn’t do anything with it. Earlier that year I’d been at a resort hotel, saw a piano in the lobby, and really wished I could sit down and play something, anything. I felt embarrassed because, again, I’ve had a damn piano in my place of residence for probably most of my life. So this year, I made an actual New Year’s resolution to learn to play five songs on the piano, so that whenever I would see one out in the wild, I’d be able to sit down and confidently play something at least halfway decent, and play it at least halfway decently. And so, after committing to the work, I can now play “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” (i.e, Cheers theme song); “He Gives Us All His Love” by Randy Newman; the piano part of “Great Gig in the Sky” by Pink Floyd; and almost all of the piano part of “Layla” by Derek and the Dominoes. For my fifth song, I am currently working on completing “Fred Jones Part 2” by Ben Folds Five. All these songs are quite simple and rather short, but they are, to me anyway, very beautiful-sounding songs that I think people might be at least a little impressed seeing someone play them. I can’t play them all with zero mistakes yet, but I’m far enough along I feel pretty confident about going to my brother’s this TG, playing the songs and surprising some people who’ve known me for six-plus decades and would swear on a holy bible that I can’t play piano, same as them. And moral of the story is: it’s not too late to call the audible.

Well, there’s some CGI and a little blood, and you could argue there is a bit of a superhero in it, although not an MCU type. Stanley Tucci yells a little bit in one scene.

I don’t think most Americans necessarily want a right wing authoritarian dictatorship—although maybe 20% or so do—but I do think the rest who voted for him either think it’s going to roll over on someone else and not them, or that they think he’s joking and it’s not going to actually happen.

I don’t see how Tulsi does not give the Kremlin back door access to literally everything we have, including write privileges so they can go in and alter documents to throw people like you off your game.

It's his entire MO.

Doesn't hurt him, he's a white cisgender man of great means.

Nice P.R. piece.

Welcome to my nightmare.
