Twitter Threads:The X-Men Cartoon

Image
Once again, this post is part of the Twitter Threads Project . Am slowly working my way thru the #XMen cartoons in preparation for #XMen97. I’m a longtime fan of the comics but didn’t watch the show when it was on. I was in my early 20s at the time, & it just didn’t speak to me. So these are some thoughts from my first watch:

Twitter Threads: Wild Days at the Gym

As part of the Twitter Threads Project :  Dude at the gym today asked me if I’d considered injecting steroids to improve my swimming. Like, I get that dudes will dips to win a pair of socks at a local charity race. But still. WTF?! — Danno E. Cabeza (@DannoECabeza) March 21, 2024 A different dude just started practicing his breakdancing headstands… This place is *alive* today. — Danno E. Cabeza (@DannoECabeza) March 17, 2024

News & Notes on a Wednesday

​Saw a couple of interesting articles this morning. Figured this was a good time to try out my new Blogger app, and now here we are. Any formatting wackiness owes to the app being new.

Twitter Threads: Thoughts on Army's Loss to BU

From the Twitter Threads Project : Well friends, we’ve said it all season but it bear repeating: the toughest thing in sports is consistency, especially when everybody wants to tell you how great you are. That’s simple human nature. #AsForLax

I don't know if Twitter was ever a great place for discussion, but there was a time when it was an at least somewhat useful way to tell people about whatever nonsense was going on in my head. Alas, the current algorithm really only incentivizes rage-baiting engagement farming.  This has impacted my personal work in two ways. First, fewer folks are on Twitter generally, so the audience is smaller overall. Second, if one does not participate in rage-baiting engagement farming, it's becoming damnably hard to show up via the algorithm at all . Granted, I've only ever wanted to write whatever's on my mind for whoever cares to see it. However, even that requires a platform. At the same time, I've thought for a while that I should really use this platform more and those platforms less. And yet, for convenience sake, so much nonsense winds up over there while *my* actual blog sites largely empty. So. This is the first of a series of recent random thoughts that I initially d

Announcer Nikolai Busko called me out twice during Saturday afternoon’s broadcast of Army Lacrosse versus Lehigh. The first time was awesome. The second time, though, I felt bad about it.

I did not think the BKs would give up more than 10 today. #GoArmy #BEATLehigh #AsForLax — Danno E. Cabeza (@DannoECabeza) March 16, 2024
