One of the biggest banks being called “Gold man sacks” is pretty inexcusable.

🧵 Let's talk about campaign emails! Misleading emails like this one from my opponent are exactly what’s wrong with Democratic fundraising. In reality, there’s no May 31 FEC deadline (the next one is June 30) and these fake deadlines are used to create a false sense of urgency. Why?

Of course that’s your contention. You’re a first year Fediverse power-user. You just got finished reading about how Bluesky isn’t decentralized — Christine’s blog post probably — and you’re convinced that AT Protocol is a flash in the pan while ActivityPub is the real hope for the web’s future.

I’m somehow just now realizing that the camp song “Way Up In The Sky” with all the little birdies waking up is a common song, but the second verse with the farmer and the shotgun is absolutely not. In retrospect, this should’ve been obvious.

True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

Can't help but wonder, how are all of the South Americans feeling about the "first American pope" headlines?

@megrowler.fangraphs.com small thing I was curious about today: when there's embedded video of a play on a FG post, where is that coming from? I've noticed that it almost always shows an ad, but the baseball savant clips on Sam Miller's Substack don't. I'm assuming it's just a different source?

Well, at least that kinda closes the book on that.
