"It's hard to hit home runs!" ~ New York #Yankees star Paul O'Neill gets mad at Kramer for asking him to hit not one, but TWO home runs for a kid in the hospital! Happy 62nd Birthday Paul! #MLB #Seinfeld #RepBX #Baseball

Unequivocally, the premier ass-kicking of the Thibodeau era.

These have to be brightening your day, no? #funny #dog

Hart is by far the heart of this team #knicks

To brighten your day today #funny #dogs

"Hi everybody and welcome to New York Yankee baseball, I'm Bill White..." ~ Phil Rizzuto makes a hilarious broadcasting blunder! #MLB #Yankees

Todays thought #funny #dog

a long but excellent read on why what BlueSky is building will likely last in terms of the social relationships built on the network.

To brighten (lighten?) your day. #dogs #funny

Want to see the videos that journalists, political leaders and other thoughtful people are sharing on Bluesky right now? Check out this amazing and incredibly useful feed I just made via surf.social beta.

Thoughts?

WATCH: “…And there’s nothing they can do.” Joe Rogan once relayed a fireman’s wildly accurate prediction that this would happen because of the conditions, and how helpless LA would be. Yet @RepTimBurchett & the GOP blame “DEI”. Because of course they do.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Alongside the Yankees, Cowboys and Duke basketball, Notre Dame football occupies an exclusive place in sports: Love ’em or hate ’em, you can’t ignore ’em. But something seems different this year. Are the Irish... likable? nyti.ms/4absLmf

Unbelievable if true #lafires

This would not go over well where I live now #yankees

For all you dog owners, we have all experienced this #funny

RIP Rickey .... by far the most talented base stealer I ever witnessed.

Both my parents (MD & RN) donated their bodies to science. Arrangements were made in advance. Each died in bed at home. Within an hour of notification, people arrived and took them away. It still feels weird after 5 and 10 years, but I'm proud of them. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/12/erik...

Who knew that Barbara Eden performed “Son of a Preacher Man?” Not me, until tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blaC3S9fpFY

For this week’s Plugged In newsletter, I wrote about Surf, a neat anew app from Flipboard that lets you weave Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, RSS, podcasts, and YouTube videos into customizable, shareable feeds. Launching as a beta with a waitlist. https://www.fastcompany.com/91248612/flipboard-surf-app

Surf from Mike and Co (Flipboard) looks interesting, anyone using it yet? www.fastcompany.com/91248612/fli...

This morning we’re announcing Surf, a new kind of browser for a new kind of web — the open social web. Built on AT Proto, ActivityPub and RSS, you can easily create and surf custom feeds that organize people, videos, articles and podcasts around the things you care about. More at surf.social

Wowww, fuck yeah! Go Bridgy! 💪🎉

At least the giants are in first place for something. #giants

Heading to #zurich and #montreaux in the Spring for a few days each. Have you been or do you live there? Recommendations on things to do, places to stay and ... most importantly ... where to eat?

Also Max Fried and Gerrit Cole definitely become instant best friends and I'm all for those positive vibes

you can tell bluesky is decentralized because sometimes it doesn't work and nobody knows why

this monday at 3pm PT, @pfrazee.com and I will be hosting an AMA in the bluesky subreddit! (this also serves as our identity verification post🫡) here's a link, you can RSVP on reddit and get notified when it starts, and you can also add questions ahead of time. chat more soon!

Always

some more details on public firehose stuff: you can/should reconnect now! note that the sequence is different (lower, like 274908607-ish at the moment) if you scroll back to the start of this backfill window, consumers *should* see all events (aka, not miss anything)

We're going to have an elderly, insane Republican as President, filling his administration with corrupt religious zealots who are completely unqualified for their positions. The music and the cars are horrible. And the Yankees can't win the World Series. My youth has returned, in the worst way.
