Depends if you can feel hockey and basketball at the same time. Most can’t, I reckon. Also left out The Masters!

Really enjoyed @herooine.bsky.social and @jenktn.bsky.social and Jimmy on the live reaction podcast to the Parsons trade. Thought they did a great job understanding the assignment, capture the shock and enthusiasm, pivot to reaction analysis however foiblesome it felt. Encapsulated the moment!

This chart is hilarious because in addition to making a great point about Micah Parsons, it’s a hilarious stroll down memory lane of all the guys the Packers were linked to but didn’t get. And of all those guys, Micah Parsons was the one I least believed would happen.

I really love this thought, it connects to a thought I’ve had about how personal brand culture really was like preparing human content for AI consumption (and imitation). You have a “presence” that is predictable, consistent, and ultimately replicable. Original thinking goes wrong sometimes, and

One huge understated problem for Bluesky right now is that having a higher frequency of good, sound political opinions changed to being a very bad thing for one’s mental health once Trump took office. Comparatively, X’s alternate reality culture and random ads everywhere is less upsetting.

I’m polyfanmorous and my Bucks-Nuggets high was waning. Definitely glad this Nuggets team caught a second wind. Hope they can stay healthy to see it through.

Nuggets 1. New supports for Jokic to thrive! 2. Despite the depth, the team is still one injury away from being unworkable. Plus the pressure of huge expectations.

Bulls 1. A young core that can do stuff 2. No centerpiece to build around, if Buzelis can’t make a leap

Bucks 1. No crushingly high expectations. 2. Doc Rivers, and the possibility that no backcourt players emerge.
