@ATPHalle @felixtennis Do you know if Learner Tien will play @ATPHalle again?

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@LearnerTienNews Pre-Wimbledon, any idea if Learner will play Halle again or e.g. Queens?

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@Wimbledon Can someone clarify if court 3 is accessible via a grounds pass? Seems it is also a show court? https://t.co/lSj3GGSkCT

@islandtennisace I’ve moved to BlueSky (would love to see you there!) but if you’re still looking for an answer: I believe it was a portable massage “gun”

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@zittrain Cheers! I actually follow you there but thought I saw less activity. Croissant is a favorite right now for crossposting.

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

X/Twitter is becoming a radicalized platform cluttered with bots and will get even worse, not better. Thank you for considering moving elsewhere, in particular Blue Sky, which is growing rapidly among culture/entertainment/sports conversations.

@islandtennisace @jpflondon @totoro_show @CafeEuropaEU @metofficeSEEng @londoncheapo @japanhouseldn @LMSacasas @zittrain @lklinks @CindyXiaodanYu There are also apps that allow you to cross post on multiple platforms automatically.

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

I’m tagging a few of my favorite accounts that I hope to find active on Blue Sky sooner rather than later:

The first death in the U.S. from #H5N1 just happened

This is the same patient whose infection developed new mutations w increased ability to bind human cells

This virus if it “learns” to spread may be a very serious virus

@CDCgov and USG can still start to take it seriously

@PPFIdeas I like such exercises in spit of their inherent limitations, but love to hear more, including why other fields lack an equivalent poll (is it simply the quantity of output that make such surveys impractical/absurd for eg “best compositions/paintings/books etc?)

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@PPFIdeas For a future mailbag/Q&A ep, would love to hear more on David’s thoughts on canonization, especially formalized ones like the Sight & Sound list.

@KuperSimon @heroesandhumans @mPinoe Love this series. Is Pique on your longlist to maybe cover? Seems to be an interesting archetype that I don’t think has been covered yet, footballer/canny businessman

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@JamesFallows I’d personally focus on BlueSky/Threads/Mastodon, pretty much impossible for a new social media site to gain traction at this stage.

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@islandtennisace Obviously listen to your doctor more than Reddit but this thread may give you some encouragement?

@heroesandhumans FYI Ferguson has read the Caro LBJ books

@ditheringfm But the off topic pre-amble seems incongruous for a 15 minute show.

I know the wise thing is probably to take the show as-is, but I couldn’t help myself and am a longtime admirer of both your works including the Talkshow, Exponent etc.

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@ditheringfm You’re probably tired about sports talk feedback but I think a 15 min show does not need over 3 mins warm up.

To be clear I’m not saying you should only stick to tech. If the conversation organically leads to baseball, Taylor Swift, etc, go for it!

[Richard @_Richard_2001]

@ghibliuk Obviously the heron, so I’m gonna go with the parakeet , especially Dan Stevens 😀

[Richard @_Richard_2001]
