Unexpected cruelty coming by way of the @theathletic.bsky.social for @mariners.com fans: Editor’s note: Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated the Mariners’ playoff odds. The odds are 44.1 percent, not 92.4 percent.

Well, I finally talked John Cook, @geekwire.bsky.social honcho to join me at @kironewsradio.bsky.social as a guest host of the John Curley show today (Friday 2/7) from 3-7PM. And what's on the agenda, you ask? A bit of @microsoft.com's upcoming 50th anniversary for starters. Tune in!

Dynamite book.
"A watch is an individual's timekeeper, but it is also a kind of diary; it holds in its restless hands our memories of the hours, days and years we have spent wearing it."

If your world opened up thanks to the effort of an elementary, high school or college teacher, read this. If your young world never opened up thanks to the effort of an elementary, high school or college teacher, I'm sorry. But still read this. Thanks Elizabeth Egan and @nytimes: shorturl.at/rAQ79

Loved @mirjordan & @rachelbujalski's @nytimes story not just because I'm a fmr print journo or because I was born and raised in Modesto (and worked at the @modbee), but also because Gil Howard and the Afghan women he helps are so worth reading about: www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/u...

This
@PAPPADEMAS story in @GQMagazine about @davematthewsbnd (well, mostly about Dave) is ridiculously well-written & worth a read no matter how you feel about the man's music: https://www.gq.com/story/dave-matthews-profile

FROM THE NYTIMES: John Archibald, who has been a journalist in Birmingham, Ala., for years, was anxious about his son Ramsey’s decision to go into journalism. He needn’t have worried.

In the late '70s, my siblings and I bought #HarryBelafonte concert tickets for my mom & dad. My mom, a Panamanian, loved the man. She came back from the show dizzy with excitement. Dad too, but nothing like Mom's reaction. 🤣 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/25/arts/music/harry-belafonte-dead.html

Hey, @jaypeters.bsky.social. Nice Verge story on BlueSky. I’m here also and I like it but I’m not having much luck finding media members/orgs. I agree it is WAY less of a cesspool than Twitter but it’s also less interactive. Are you going to do a folo or a comparison to Mastodon or Post?
