Is there any sport’s uniforms that Nike isn’t going to ruin? First MLB, now the Olympics?

@bedirthan whew. Another league marked safe from sexualized and/or flimsy jerseys. I never thought I’d be grateful that MLS has a deal with Adidas.

If #StarTrek Prodigy can picked up after cancellation by another network so can Lower Decks. That said, the Executives at Paramount don’t have the first clue what they’re doing.

@gedeonm So this is how I find out that Lower Decks was cancelled? My Paramount subscription was already hanging by a thread…

Is there truly no direct way to share photos directly from Apple Photos to Flickr on MacOS these days?

This is a pretty significant hole in my photos workflow.

#Flickr #macOS

@kboyd I see the share option on my iPhone, but even with the Flickr Uploadr installed on my Mac there's nothing in the share sheet in Photos on macOS.

I guess I could let iCloud sync the photos to my phone and post them from there... it just seems sort of backwards.

The announcer on the Richmond Kickers vs. Maryland Bobcats match is fearlessly dropping Taylor Swift song lyrics one after the next.

Richmond leads 3-1 at the half.

The Sounders have an 8:30 start today? I’m too old for the second half apparently.

@bedirthan oh, the Live Soccer TV app lied to me. I guess I’ll see the whole match after all.

Just remember, like all former members of Congress, Joe Lieberman had access to publicly funded healthcare benefits until his death—a benefit that he fought to deny to all Americans in the ACA.

So I’m at a French bistro in and four mimes just walked in and they’re having dinner and gesticulating wildly and this is the best thing ever.

@karlnelson I hate to be That Internet Guy™, but "pics or it didn't happen". (Please bring me joy on this rainy Saturday night.)

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@karlnelson Okay, fair. I respect the ethics of that decision.

Gotta love the commitment. I wonder if they'll have coffee and a cigarette after dinner.

CNN has multiple sources (one named) who report Aaron Rogers shared the disproven conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook shooting wasn’t real.

The Jets were willing to do business with him when he was a nutty anti-vaxxer. Are they willing to stand by him as he goes full Alex Jones? Will RFK Jr.?

I used to be proud that Boeing planes were made in Seattle. Now I’m actually scared to fly on them. The McDonnell Douglas merger was the worst thing that ever happened to American aerospace.

This whistleblower’s death is profoundly suspicious.

@DaveRussell The regulatory apparatus of the US government has been comatose since the 80s. I believe it, but I don’t like it.

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@moseley Short form: MD was a military contractor with management focused on profits not safety/engineering. They had a sketchy passenger plane safety history. Boeing and MD merged, and MD management took over Boeing. They began to squeeze out engineers in decision-making and focused on maximizing profits over everything else. It's one thing when enshittification happens to your computer services, it's another one when it happens to your airplanes.

I just got home from a walk to find LAFC playing RSL in an actual blizzard. They even pulled out the orange ball.

@bedirthan I left during the delay. Sounds exciting.

Professional Referees Organization (PRO) could not come to terms with the Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA), so we had USL League 1 and MLS Next Pro officials this week.

On reflection, I think PSRA overestimated its members' value. The replacement refs haven't been perfect, but I don't recall any match this week that wouldn't have been made worse with the officiating of Ted Unkel or Victor Rivas.

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@bedirthan Okay, that one made me pretty mad and was definitely a mistake, but I swear I've seen Ted do that too.

I read somewhere that Chris Penso was handling VAR this weekend with some other former refs who are now staff at PRO. Was the reversal rate higher, or just the check rate?

adam,
@adam@windbag.org avatar

@bedirthan I was relying on this article from The Athletic for the Next Pro and USL 1 info: https://theathletic.com/5295428/2024/02/23/mls-replacement-referees-lockout-soccer/

So the Concacaf Champions Cup is on Tubi. I'm watching the #Whitecaps :whitecaps: play #TigresUANL :tigres:.

Being a fan of the beautiful game more broadly is really difficult as an American because I didn't see any mention of this tournament in any of my usual sports media sources.
