LOL...the haters online do nothing to change my own, stereotyped images of who're slamming their outside-world-starved fingers on their keyboards.
Sun exposure can heal so many things (melanoma not withstanding), pause the tech and give it a try.

@smerconish I am unaffiliated (DE's official non-party designation) and am for open-primaries; however, as a former R who used to manage R campaigns, I can understand the argument of resisting from both Rs and Ds. In turn, I would like to go further and opt for wide-open rank-choice.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@NBCSPhilly And that asset collector Norman Bra...I mean Josh Harris also loves it, because the big money, celebrity Knicks fans buy those overpriced tickets this fanbase can't afford. All money to him. "We won't allow Knicks fans to buy tickets." 🙄 Take your profit and sell the team.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@NBCSPhilly That said, it did feel like they were playing against more than the Knicks, but even if there was no disparity, they don't play a full four quarters and would have had the same result (loss). The energy the Knicks bring (positive) kills the 76ers energy (negative).

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@NBCSPhilly Such a rage-click-bait post and burying the context deeper inside. Whenever the disparity is large, these opinions will happen, but that was the context. Your one-liner post looks worlds different to most users who won't invest 15 seconds for the full view.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@JClarkNBCS Thanks for the context on this. I saw your post first last night with this context and totally get what he's trying to convey. Unfortunately, @NBCSPhilly went for rage-click-bait and provided the context further inside, which nearly no one on social media will see.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

Seriously don't want to hear about the @sixers disallowing Knicks fans access to tickets or any rah rah horse crap. They can say all they want, but I won't ever believe a thing that involves Josh Harris. He's an asset collector. Sell the team, take your absurd profit and leave.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@awfulannouncing Proof that chasing hot-take “firsts” for on-air and social media is foolish, but speed is currency here, so it won’t get better. Credit to @JonMarksMedia, tho, for owning it, not hiding from it, nor rationalizing it, and apologizing for it. That doesn't happen enough anymore.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@ochocinco "Best" and "Metrics" subjective and very vulnerable to preference of music genre.
I didn't read each reply, but did most of them - there are very solid answers and opinions and don't disagree with much.
What I didn't see, sadly, is a mention of @TheRealBuddyGuy . Friggin' awesome

@Devan_Kaney Paradise is great, but damn if that show isn't starting to feel like it's wanting to mimic the old CW series The 100.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@KButter_22 @JimmysSeafood Thank you, I can refocus my attention on...I don't know, I got nothing.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

...(3/3)...My follows here will be mostly sports, because, as a Phiily phan, that somehow might actually be more sane.
As someone infamously once said, and was panned heavily for it, "Let that sink in."
✌️❤️😊

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

Shrinking my "following" list today, sadly. Many connections here have political leanings over multiple directions, but it has led to the algorithm on this platform to overwhelm my feed with utter trash and fake info and it's deepened a dark pessimism in my soul, ...🧵 (1/3)

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

...(2/3)...so, gotta let that go. Anyone I follow here I also follow elsewhere and that, for now, will continue. It's specifically on X that I am making this change, something I am experimenting with to see if it works.

@eurofounder @AcdntlyRetired Another point, there are many tradespeople, without formal university degrees - they might have earned university certifications, but not degrees - that have become wildly successful small business owners and done so without formalized business training. That path is possible.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@eurofounder @AcdntlyRetired Trying to determine the bot vs human authenticity of this account, but why did you go from a post-graduate degree in the original post to no university-level degree at all in this reply?
Your daughter (real or bot) just might have a better life plan than you prescribe to her.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@Chase_Senior So, MLB opted to not renew with ESPN before last season ended. Sunday Night Baseball leaving ESPN was known back then. This criticism is incredibly hollow, as it's based on either an incorrect assumption or an outright lie.

[Randy Smith @RSmittyDE]

@officer_Lew LOL...ESPN lost the rights (wasn't selected for a renewal) to broadcast Sunday Night Baseball.
Stirring up shit gets clicks, huh?

@SpikeEskin You sure this wasn't just shitposting by Abraham Lincoln? The planet knows he was an internet clickbait master in his day.
