Pretty impressive the way he juggled her. Plus athlete.

But, people ... you have to have SOME situational awareness. How do you not notice a bull of that size coming at you before it hits you? It wasn't even sprinting at her.

I mean, I'm sure it takes the brain a couple of seconds to process that there's a fucking bull in the concourse.

Personally, I prefer a quiet celebration of the Fritzes among friends and family.

It’s a personal choice, we all celebrate in our own way.

Beautiful thing about not being on Twitter, I haven’t seen Grimace since his shake first came out, no idea what hawk rush means, and I’ve only seen 2 or 3 world tour memes, and wouldn’t have registered if not for the Jeselnik podcast commenting on the story first.

I only miss Twitter during a big sporting event that everyone is watching or during Lions games.

I know of the Grimace thing and I’m enjoying it, if only for the false hope it gives Mets fans, which will make their expected disappointment that much funnier.

I looked it up, seems like the Mets had Grimace throw out the first pitch. Anything more to this?

Hawk Tuah made me laugh. Her parents must be proud.

Grimace threw out the first pitch in Citi Field, then the Mets ripped off 6 or 7 wins in row. So now Grimace is a good omen or something. It’s this decade’s Linsanity run.

There's an account @1996ID4 who is live Tweeting Independence Day and it's pretty great.

It makes sense. Probably cook it in a smoker without need for power. Eat for days.

I signed up for twitter again after about a year away just because I wanted to see the reaction about refs in a Euro soccer game (spoiler alert: twitter thought the refs were bad). I followed my usual DMB and Boston sports accounts, and my entire timeline is flooded with anti-vax, transphobia, the election was stolen, and Biden has Parkinsons and can't put two words together, but is also leading the all powerful and evil deep state nonsense. I thought I could counter it creating my bubble by following some liberal news accounts and muting or saying I'm not interested in posts, but it's relentless no matter how many accounts I mute. I probably made it worse for myself by clicking on some of the stupidity because I used to read the replies just destroying the stupid post, but when I do that, every single reply agrees with the stupid post. If twitter has any influence at all in elections, we are fucked.

Would y'all mind just posting everything that's on Twitter today here? Taking a break as to not see the result of the women's final in gymnastics.

TIA!!

There's no way she's taking any compensation in equity shares, right? She has to be smart enough not to do that. That'd just be setting her paycheck on fire.

ETA: It haven't really read up on this, but according to her, it sounds like she's saying that companies should be compelled to advertise on a site; otherwise it's a collusive act. I don't think that would past muster, but with this Supreme Court...

When companies band together and collectively decide not to advertise on a site, it's dicey. It's a horizontal group boycott.

I had an antitrust case where we represented a used car dealer who had a radio show. We sued a bunch of local Toyota dealers because they collectively boycotted the station to force them to drop our guy's show. We got past summary judgment on the horizontal boycott issue and then settled.

To me, the Twitter situation is clearly different from the used car dealer situation because the companies theoretically boycotting none of them are competing with Twitter, or trying to force Twitter to take action against a competitor.

It can also be an antitrust violation if competitors agree among themselves not to advertise on a certain media site or property unless the site/property lowers its prices. I think that's a closer analogy, but I still think Twitter's case ultimately fails because the actions alleged don't appear intended to be anti-competitive.

somebody on BlueSky wrote: A friend's elderly Fox News-brainwashed mom was doing one of the manglings of Kamala's name they do and my friend told her, "You should probably practice saying her name correctly so your doctors don't think you have dementia when you can't pronounce the president's name."

Sorry about that. But, I do think Haynes is going to have a pretty big season for a guy with one collegiate catch (at Georgia).

Love how the auto-play videos now roll into those ads that just auto-open the App Store. Fun.

Just dropping in to say I spend less and less time there. It feels increasingly toxic and irrelevant.

I follow mostly baseball accounts, and yet like 50% of the posts are people I follow posting sad/angry things that have nothing to do with baseball, 25% of them are posting content that is redundant/adds no value to me, and maybe 25% of the tweets are the content I'm looking for.

I swear when I joined in 2020, it was 75% good stuff.
