Berry pies are really great. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t think this.

You know what’s also great, pies that are custardy. Which is like 90% of the rest.

They’re all good.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I support everyone’s right to have terrible opinions.
Pie and quiche are both mid specimens in their respective genres of desserts and egg-based breakfast/brunch foods.

Forever on Team @joeposnanski.com (fruit pie is delicious)
So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:

1. Pecan: Always good

2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.

3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

I’m no AI apologist but I find this pretty compelling
I was like "guys the stock splits are already factored into this calculation" and then people are like "you forgot to factor in the stock splits!" so maybe its not AI that is uniquely bad at this

The Bengals may end up 5-12 or something, but I feel like there’s a decent chance they get Burrow back and go like 5-1 and end up only 2 games back in the division.

Just feels like since 2021 they’ve done nothing but f*ck around and when we look back it’ll be even sadder than the lost decade.
WEEK 12 BABY

🔹What Sanders did in Start 1 to earn Start 2
🔹The Colts’ serious danger of losing the AFC south
🔹George Pickens’ unprecedented free agency
🔹(The Bengals and Cowboys defenses look better)
🔹Cam Ward, JSN, Kirk Cousins, and more!

Settled in at MHTC for end-of-season interviews with players. Players are made available as they come out of their exit meetings. These are always great for tons of content in the coming weeks, and of course, today I'll be writing all the big takeaways. Stay tuned. #FCCincy

With every field, a major question we need to ask ourselves, at all times, is whether our forebearers were full of it, either intentionally or by accident. Because as we've seen with Zimbardo, Milgram, bystander effects, girls with ADHD, or anything on trans folks before 2010, they often were.
NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It’s one of the most influential social psychology studies ever. Was it all a lie?
A classic book on UFO believers and their "cognitive dissonance" after aliens failed to land is called into question.

This work has been a long time in the making and I’m excited that we all now have a chance to dig into it.

Congrats to my pal @bhighsmith.bsky.social and the entire research team. This is important work!

FCC spends. Obviously that can’t be the excuse.
People *hate* Miami for their spending and I get it. But this is also a team that starts two academy guys, picks up MLS scrap heapers like Rios Novo, and has gotten real contributors through the draft.

If they're casting that wide a net, everyone should be.

One thought on Cincy for now: between Miazga (1.575m), Hadebe (1.1m) and Kubo (8.25m) they have $3.5 million in decline-able options to EASILY open up a bunch of cap/budget space next year.

This team has no leader.

Is this a problem? I have no idea. But I don’t love it.
There remains a complete absence of connection/chemistry between Cincy's two best attackers.

First half numbers—

Passes from Denkey to Evander: 1
Passes from Evander to Denkey: 0

Lopsided back 4, Gidi as a single pivot, Bucha man-marking Busquets, Echinique pushing up to try to pin Alba (or get behind him), Denkey a lone 9 with Evander & Brenner trying to get into gaps and combine underneath.

Don't think I've seen this from Cincy this year. Really interesting!
