k, new experiment: - no more casting, replying, recasting, liking, etc. - if i want to engage with a cast, i will DC you about it. - if i have something to put into the world, i'm making a group chat.

i knew it was reductive when i wrote it (i wasn't trying to be fair, optimistic, or hopeful) but i've come up with a lot of counterarguments and caveats to this. but tbh i'd still rather opt out entirely.

i should do a write-up about everything that happened this off-season. "unprecedented" is really the only word that works, and it's not even close to sufficient. need way more. Taurasi retires, half the coaches are new, GS makes Seattle look silly in the expansion draft... and none of those things were even headlines. here's my old hype article, it's still a fun read: https://paragraph.com/@cbxm/the-w

Caitlin Clark to Holly Rowe at the break: "Caitlin, i saw you having a long conversation with the official ... what was the point you were trying to make to her [about the flagrant foul]." "it's just a good take foul, ... every basketball player knows that."

cannot believe the Fever landed both Bonner and Cunningham. whole league should be scared, Indiana won the postseason and it's not close.

just did the math: of the jerseys i bought last year (six) half of those players have been traded, were released, or retired. this postseason was insane. upside is that it makes it easier for me to root for just about any team in the league now. everyone but LA, tbh.

New York is hot straight out the gate this year and Cloud is my new favorite person on this planet. gotta get me a jersey asap. and it's always sweet to see them tighten the screws on Vegas.

Valkyries too. Nakase seems smart as a whip, and i love young expansion team energy. plus they took Thornton from my Liberty so I've gotta lend some of my support. and that black and purple, yeesh

Dallas is my team to watch this year. Bueckers is silk — I don't know how else to describe it — and the rest of the lineup is giving me Moneyball vibes.

been doing some thinking about what things social media COULD be good for (after my diatribe about how it isn't good for anything), and thought sports maybe. collective experiences are a powerful human phenomenon. but nobody on here is into /the-w, so... guess my point stands.

gonna push this one more time for the haters and the daywalkers, and then i'm gonna get offline again to purge the brain sugar that has built up from writing it and posting it the first time. thanks for the love on it, peeps. call your mom.

i took two weeks off and then wrote an essay about how FC will fuck you up — precisely because of how great it is. it's 2,000 words of insults and me being insufferable with no good points to make, but you can still send me tips if you didn't read it. 😉 https://paragraph.com/@cbxm/your-brain-on-farcaster

"i'm tired of bag-bias commentary and short-cycle meta trends." "have you tried betting on art?" what are we doing here people. https://warpcast.com/ted/0x71b22a30 https://warpcast.com/ted/0x2bc75f41

the urge to write up an essay about the horrors of dopamine hijacking and the lessons i've learned in the intervening two weeks and then post it to an app that is actively hijacking its users dopamine and fostering a culture of attention war.
