In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

It’s kinda wild how modern ultra wealthy people missed the memo that if you build trains and libraries and museums and fund the arts people are generally less likely to want you dead?

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 6h

It’s bonkers. Like say what you will about Andrew Carnegie but after getting wealthy beyond compare he built libraries. Thiel and Musk and Ellison have been like “what if we restored the third reich? what if I became Big Brother? what if we ushered in an age of superstition, wouldn’t that be neat”

I want 10,000 words longform on how these drug-addled creeps have all openly embraced literal villainy. Like, the most clownish form of "I want to look evil." This feels different than a lot of their historical predecessors!

Just thinking about how Daniel Jones recently talked about he went from thinking he was going above and beyond doing game prep with the Giants/Daboll to showing up in Minnesota and realizing how much the Giants weren’t doing.

Dart comes out of the medical tent after suffering a potential brain injury and Brian Daboll immediately smacks him in the back of the head

What possible reason could Daboll have for calling a time out when the Eagles are about to get a delay of game

scorch forever @willcrist.bsky.social · 3d

This is 100% the correct answer

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

Loser mindset. If you’re not booing the best player on the opposing team what’s even the point of being a fan?

Philly booing Ohtani cmon man. He's not a Dodger he's our national baseball Folk Hero. He is for everyone. He loves dogs and hits balls 500 ft and throws the ball 100 mph.

Claire Zagorski, MSc, EMT-P @clairezagorski.bsky.social · 7d

Evergreen reminder that people aren’t putting drugs in Halloween candy.

Not only is this not a thing, it’s a distraction from the real issue - vehicles. Cars hitting kiddos. That spikes every Halloween night. Watch your babies, talk about safety, and go with them to keep them out of the street.

Hard to view these sort of decisions as anything other than an effort to push out anyone who doesn’t enlist for the love of the game (killing minorities and generating oil industry profits)

NEWS: Sinclair says its ending its pre-emption of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

scorch forever @willcrist.bsky.social · 19d

No idea what the contracts are like but if ABC/Disney can they should withhold live sports from Sinclair in response

Brian Stelter @brianstelter.bsky.social · 19d

This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."
