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.

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?
