Missed this a month ago…but you need to head to eBay. People like me still buy these 😂

That sounds interesting!

That one is one the list! Plus The Onion (of course)! But I was hoping for something more aimed at National/world news as well.
Mark (@mmcd.bsky.social)
The silence on this one is pretty loud. Honestly, there might not be a great answer at this point…which is really sad.

If I was looking for ONE print newspaper (not magazine) to subscribe to, does anyone have a strong recommendation? Looking for one that doesn’t come with a list of caveats three miles long.

I still need to play Manhattan Missions. Didn’t know it even existed until the internet informed me.
Mark (@mmcd.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah both teams are kinda in the same boat. Both had moments where it made sense to go for it, but it didn’t work out. Probably time for a change.
Mark (@mmcd.bsky.social) reply parent
You and me both! That’s my biggest issue—to the Packers??? But idk I actually kinda like the trade for Dallas…IF this means they embrace a full tear down and rebuild. If this is just “we’ll use these picks to supplement the current roster”…that ain’t gonna cut it.
Mark (@mmcd.bsky.social)
Also, Micah Parsons is not Luka Doncic and they got more for him than the Mavs did for Luka. These are not comparable trades.
Mark (@mmcd.bsky.social)
Fellow Cowboys fans: Micah is great. No doubt about it. But…two firsts and a pro bowler is an actual trade. This *might* pay off. Consider embracing a true rebuild—this team has needed it for a LONG TIME.
Mark (@mmcd.bsky.social)
…kinda wanna track down this magazine now

I get it. I have been buying way too many things for a ridiculous project 😂

Me hearing that Micah Parsons was traded to the Packers: WHAT THE HELL??? Me after seeing the return: …is this the long-awaited sequel to the Herschel Walker trade??? Cowboys rebuild, LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!!

I kinda like “the socialverse” For what it’s actually doing, I think you already nailed it—bounce. Boiling it down from the detailed version, it really allows you (and your friends/followers) to bounce to different locations (in the “socialverse” if it’s up to me 😂)

Totally fair. I still lean towards her as the best player at the moment, but I get why you’d pick A’ja. Either way…I don’t think it’s clear cut. They’ve both got an argument.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

Source for the mechanic salary info: www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Wha...
Mark (@mmcd.bsky.social)
The average salary for a mechanic is typically less than $60k/yr. Members of Congress are paid $174k/yr. Don’t even get me started on what cable “news” personalities make. Our country values people who complain and throw tantrums more than people who fix things. Seems like we should change that.
