That makes sense. Growing up in Mississippi, we didn't have a local team — closest was New Orleans Saints, but all the adults around me were either Cowboys or Bears fans (Walter Payton was from MS). Tennessee Titans (relocated from Houston Oilers) later gained a decent following I guess.
LMAO ride or die 🙌🏿 We're winning the Super Bowl this year, ya' know 😜
That's awesome! We need this game.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I wonder if there are a lot of Cowboys fans up there in "Da Bears" country where you are LOL
🤠☕🏈 Kickoff in about 20 minutes at 2am (Monday, JST🇯🇵) Let's get this all-nighter started! 🙌🏿 #NFL #football #SportsSky #NYGvsDAL #CowboysNation #DallasCowboy #RedZone #NFLRedZone #DAZN #DAZNNFL #DAZNJapan #GamePass #NFLGamePass
😲You are R.E.A.D.Y. aren't you? Haha! I definitely want the Eagles to take KC down, but when it comes to the NFC East, you know it's Dem Boyz all the way 🙌🏿
I'm not as tech savvy as you bro, so I should probably wait until all the kinks are worked out before making that jump. "Who all gon' be there" kinda' energy LOL! I think I saw another one of your posts saying that the app hasn't come out yet. True?
Dang, I didn't realize the Blacksky server had been around that long—this post is over a month old!😲 Anyway, yeah I'm considering migrating over, but losing companion apps might be a deal-breaker (for now). I use these every day, and my custom feeds wouldn't work without SkyFeed access. Hmmm...
Yeah, that's a nah for me too sis
LMAO!
Well done. Now you're all set for football! 😜
Thanks for the reminder 🗳️🌊
💯💯
And the media keeps using neutral words like "controversial" 🙄
No doubt! LOL That first inning was horrible
I'll have to check that out
Great episode. The WiFi gremlins got you at the beginning though LOL
"See you in Valhalla..." 😂
Wait, WHAT?! 🤦🏿♂️
One of my favorites 💙
💯
😬 LMAO!
Haha I understand why people used to do that, but it was annoying as hell back then and certainly unnecessary now with the update. I had to change my thread sorting option and eventually muted "📌" because there were times when the all the top 4 or 5 replies in threads were red pushpins😂 👇🏿
*typo "was resolved"
2/2 Moderation is tricky... So far, I've only had one post flagged. It as resolved after a while, but I was mad! Like you mentioned in another thread (I read but didn't get a chance to comment), I also tried other sites/apps—Mastodon, Spoutible, Fanbase—but they just weren't me. I guess we're stuck😮💨
💯 Agreed! At my age, I don't have the patience for f**kery. We all came here (mostly) to escape the sewer that Twitter has become and don't need Bluesky to make the same mistakes as it grows. That said, I think this platform does many things right, and I love the control we have over feeds & TL.🧵1/2
Very well stated! 💯 Unfortunately, I had the displeasure of knowing who he was and the racist views he spread not only in the US but also abroad. I won't mourn his death personally, but I certainly disapprove of deadly political violence despite his record of hate speech.
💙
That's what happens when billionaire buddies of tyrants buy and/or merge all media outlets (see Russia, Hungary, Turkey, India, and now TRUMP!)
😳 Damn! Hey, @draye.bsky.social we love what Tuskegee means for the culture. Sorry my homeboys (the real Tigers) had to BTA though. 🐯😂 #JacksonState #TheeILove #JSU #football
Scary!!! We don't need anymore injuries 😱
Never a doubt! Amazing strategic fight, using power when he needed to. Like I commented in another thread, that early eye cut was concerning though
Man, that cut over his eye scared me for a minute. I thought Bud was gonna have to knock him out to keep the ref from stopping the fight if that cut opened too much LOL
No doubt. What a fight!
Bud did it!!!! 🥊🏆 Congrats, to the new undisputed champion! #TerenceCrawford #CaneloVsCrawford #CaneloCrawford
Woohoo the #Dodgers beat the Giants 13-7! The game ended just in time for the main #boxing event... TBH the prelim fights were somewhat ---> 🥱 Here we go!!!!🥊🥊 #CaneloVsCrawford #CaneloCrawford on #Netflix
Our bullpen better hold this lead! 😆
Don't be distracting that man🤣
Yep 12:45 Sunday. It all worked out... last prelim fight before #CaneloCrawford is in the 4th round of 10, and the Dodgers are up 12-7 in the 8th inning. You watching?

Jeeesh before boxing even begins, the #Dodgers are already about to get KO'd in the bottom of the 1st against the Giants.🤦🏿♂️ Kershaw isn't off to a good start... bases loaded, 1 out, Giants up 2-1
I'm SO ready! Let's go🥊
Sunday morning #SportsSky dilemma... 🥊 OR ⚾⁉️ 📺📡👨🏿💻 #boxing #Netflix #CaneloVsCrawford #CaneloCrawford #baseball #MLB #Dodgers
Amazing shot! 💙
💯
This!!!! 💯💯💯💯 Worst self-own in US history. 🤦🏿♂️
Rain didn't stop the party, right? 😆
It's all about the grift...
Wow! Unbelievable🤦🏿♂️🤬
💯💯💯
You're right... Few in this thread support what happened to Kirk, but apparently he himself did.
💯💯💯
This!!! 💯
*around the world He was here in Japan as a guest speaker at a far-right anti-foreigner rally just days before the shooting.
💯💯💯💯
No doubt... look up Dominique Wilkins' interview about the first time he met Bird on the court. 🤣 I never liked the Celtics or Bird, but you can't deny his skills.
Not just his basketball skills either... Any pro from that era will tell you that his shit-talk game was SUPREME! 🤣🤣🤣 He even got offended when an opposing team had another White dude guard him. Larry talked shit to the whole bench as he torched him mercilessly. LMAO
Lock his ass up! 🤬
😳 LOL
Had to LOL as Joy Reid said "bih-LOCK-see" when shouting out a listener from #Biloxi, Mississippi. We pronounce it "bih-LUCK-see", but we're already used to people from out of state saying it wrong. And don't get me started on "Kosciusko"... even I question the local pronunciation of that city.😬🤦🏿♂️
Absolutely! We can both loathe the racism he stood for AND denounce the violent way he was killed. Unfortunately, even some of our progressive "allies" seem to have a problem with that.
LMAO!!! Pervs ruin everything.😬🤣
💯
And the Trump sycophants who now own all MSM outlets (even MSNBC) are making sure that none of the vile things he said, believed, and preached to young people around the globe are covered on the air or in print. He was merely "a conservative young man with controversial views... Poor Charlie" 🙄
Hahaha! SKIP😆
Not a single skip on that album. Nancy hasn't lost a step and can still ride a riddim.🙌🏿 ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!💙🎶
🇯🇲 STILL a #ReggaeSky legend at 63 years YOUNG!🙌🏿 Sister Nancy—best known for her 1980s hit "Bam Bam"—just dropped an amazing new album. I can't stop listening to it!🎧🔁 #MusicSky #YouTubeMusic
LOL don't miss the Dodgers game!😂
Probably. They'll want to make an example of him to keep everyone else in line. The MAGA cult has always been a circular firing squad... "These BROs ain't loyal!" 🍿
Gotta beat them at their own game!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
It's almost like the entire week has been one long extended Monday.
Chune!!! 🙌🏿
It's sickening how the administration is now treating him like a national hero, and that speaks volumes for the state of the U.S.
🤦🏿♂️
Aged well...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Close... "Tyler" 😬
It's sickening!
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
MAGA is twisting themselves into pretzels rn...
Embarrassing! 🤦🏿♂️
Facts! 💯
Totally exhausting... and it keeps getting worse.
LMAO!!! 🤣
"Shocker..." /s
🤦🏿♂️
Of course it is... if the goal all along was creating a kakistocracy. Mission accomplished.
It's all indefensible
Just don't mute Wordle 😜
😬LOL
💯🎯
Nice! Good luck 👍🏿
Haha, I was bouncing off the wall after that 🫨 TGIF on your side of the globe now 🥳🙌🏿
Nah, let 'em keep outing themselves... no need to waste time debating the foolish notion that we're being "hateful" for calling out the HATE that Kirk & his ilk spread for years. No one is calling for violence... just telling the truth. If that truth hurts a "progressive", then you're the problem👇🏿
Miss me too! Unlike the replies & quotes imply, I don't see where you "wished for violence toward Charlie". Instead you truthfully pointed out that HE wished for the very violence that led to his own demise. He shifted blame for gun violence to gangs in the last words out of his mouth (literally).
That's great news! Have you found out where yet?
This!!!! 💯
Totally agree!💯 See my pinned post...
Make it make sense...
You're very fortunate indeed.🇨🇦 Signed, An American... 🤦🏿♂️
Thanks for the trip down the rabbit hole of Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund, which I found quite interesting as an amateur investor! The fund (managed by NBIM: Norges Bank Investment Management) has lots of holdings in various Japanese firms. Shares in the barbershop chain are listed under "QB Net"👇🏿
