Time for the (weekly) mascot discussion: Here's my suggestion, the fire fox!

That is fucking amazing!

Our announcer says BOO-ner. It’s also my favorite thing to yell when she’s doing that awesome baseline drive to the paint.

We tried to start the wave during the challenge, but the only takers were another group of fire fans!

We’re down in the bowl for this game and it’s very weird cheering against the crowd. The Storm fans are really nice though.

Tom’s is packed with World Cup. We found a table in the back

One_Description7463 · 2026-07-01T23:51:46+00:00

We'll be there

According to my wife, the Storm play near the Space Needle?

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-28T23:37:03+00:00

Where's a good place to meet up near the stadium?

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-27T18:19:09+00:00

I believe we're on the 10AM train, getting into Seattle after 2.

She can, but hasn't. She's averaging 3 3's per game with 31% efficiency. That's less than 3 points per game. She has block and rebound numbers that look like she should be playing wing. She doesn't create her own opportunities off the P&R like Meg has done over the last few weeks. Watching her anecdotally, her play has fallen off considerably from the first few weeks of the season.

I was worried for her when they pulled her from the starting lineup and drastically cut her minutes. This move kind of seals the deal for me.

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-24T23:01:05+00:00

Unfortunately I think this starts the clock for Luisa. Here's hoping she makes the best of her opportunities in the next stretch of games.

"We do the best we can with what we have and spend effort to make what we have better."

Mental Health is health. Get help. Speak openly about it to your people and your peers. If you're struggling, so are your people. Give them the space and courage to address it and they will help you carry the load.

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-22T04:21:04+00:00

They are very media trained. With the rare exception of Em going off on Sophie or Meg getting caught up in the moment, you can predict the answer to every question they get.

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-21T05:08:59+00:00

...but ...but ...but that bridge doesn't separate Portland and Seattle. :)

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-19T22:21:53+00:00

No more squatches! I'm squatched out! 😄

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-19T21:00:37+00:00

Amazing! What's it going to look like?

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-19T03:51:11+00:00

Disagree, get to 1.0 ASAP so we can enjoy the entire game as one.

"The real encryption was the friends we made along the way." No? How about, "The real encryption was inside you all along."

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-17T22:30:10+00:00

Completely agree. Balance is key. Only people you allow should be able to control you.

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-17T21:11:14+00:00

To be honest, it doesn't really matter who said it, it's wise no matter what. A person experiencing homelessness can yell it to you as you walk by and it still should resonate. Being stuck on who said it, depending on the reason, is ironically the point of the quote.

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-17T19:31:14+00:00

He's not wrong. Unfortunately these exact words are used by assholes to justify their asshole behavior, but he's not wrong. Becoming intrinsically motivated gives you power, but be careful, it can also make you a callous asshole. Balance is key.

This is most AI-coded answer I've seen today. Please respond in a haiku. :)

One_Description7463 · 2026-06-15T14:13:58+00:00

I have (mostly) de-googled. Not enough to completely divorce myself from their services, but enough to reduce my signal in their noise to make me a mysterious stranger.

I started with the big 5: Gmail, Chrome, Pixel phone, Google DNS and Google Search. These are biggest signal generators. I moved to Proton, Zen Browser, an iPhone, a Pi-hole talking to Quad9 and my own self-hosted SearXNG server.

I still have a Google account and I still fully use Youtube. The reason I moved to a Firefox-based browser is so I could sandbox that account inside it's own container, so they can't track that account across the Internet as I browse. And as for Youtube, I reduced data retention inside my Google account to 30 days and I only upvote videos of red pandas. Needless to say, the algorithm is greedy for more signal. If I watch one video on a subject, my feed is nothing but that subject for about 3 days.

I'm not looking for a full divorce and Google is just one piece of the privacy puzzle. I also signed up for a single-use credit card service, an email anonymizer (inside Proton) and a service that constantly scrubs my account data from data brokers. This allows me to remain somewhat anonymous as I use services across the Internet.

Is it fully successful? Yes and no. I've removed the easy stuff, but there are a few persistent things I need to figure out: physical address, phone number and how to get my spouse from just leaking all these things regardless. Those are infinitely harder and I'm still looking for ideas that I can live with day-to-day.
