I built a custom Bluesky link unfurling plugin for Slack if you like sharing your favorite Bluesky posts in Slack.

conner @ecks8.connerpsmith.net · Sep 4

#dev #bluesky I use Slack to communicate with various groups of friends, and sharing Bluesky posts with native link unfurling hasn't always been the most reliable. So, I made my own custom link bluesky unfurler for Slack! Go here to add it: bsky.connerpsmith.net/oauth/slack/...

Did the Bills not pay their ref bribes these last couple weeks?

conner @ecks8.connerpsmith.net · 23h

That is just straight up not pass interference

They aren't even replaying regular plays - this is so weird!

Joe @buffalowins.bsky.social · 1d

Can someone see if the replay machine in the espn truck is working?

Another penalty? Another no replay.

I’m so excited to have my Congresswoman and friend, @ilhanmn.bsky.social, on board with my candidacy for Mayor! She fights hard for the working people of Minneapolis. As Mayor, I’ll partner with leaders like her to build an affordable city that's accountable to us. secure.actblue.com/donate/fateh...

Legendary interview moment with the director of Morbius about Jared Leto’s behavior on the set of Morbius

uproxx.com/movies/morbi...

I heard a story about filming and I want to see if this is true. Someone told me that Jared Leto was so committed to playing Michael Morbius that even when he had to go to the bathroom, he would use his crutches and slowly limp to get to the bathroom. But it was taking so long between for pee breaks, that a deal was made with him to get him a wheelchair so someone could wheel him there quicker and he agreed to that. Is this true?

Yes.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

And they're simultaneously working to destroy that caucus system by undermining and destroying the city DFL.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

In light of the recent threat to our campaign HQ and a steady escalation of death threats, we're increasing safety measures to protect Omar Fateh, his family, & our campaign. We need to raise $10,000 more than we'd planned to cover critical security needs. secure.actblue.com/donate/fateh...

Since 2018 the Bills are 88-45 in the regular season and playoffs. That's a .661 winning percentage. Since 2018 the Bills are 1-5 in games reffed by Shawn Hochuli. That's a .166 winning percentage.
