I blew my 12 year old’s mind this morning

Driving to camp a local radio station was doing one of those fake call-in drama segments. My 12yo asked what I thought about the situation. I explained that those segments are fake and that the “callers” are local improv artists or out of work actors. After listening to the segment, my 12yo said”You can tell by their fake radio voice”. When we got to camp the first thing said after hellos was “Did you know those radio call in shows are fake?!”. I guess the tweens have a topic for the day.

Falcons WATCH: Marcus Mariota's Perspective on Atlanta Exit

Glad to see that our front office is remaining a class act now that "Quarterbacks" is out and outlets are looking for quote fodder. Nothing really new in here, except maybe the disconnect about the discussion about MM getting his leg surgery. I think it all worked out for everyone in the end.

Is there a way to block communities by using a regex?

I am still working through fediverse communities to curate my subscribed experience. As such, I still like to look at Local/All feeds to get ideas for additional subs. While doing that, there are many topics/communities that just aren’t relevant to me. I would like to be able to preemptively block them rather than have to manually click into their community to block them.

Does the fediverse support regex use to block? I can’t find it anywhere. For example, if I don’t want to see anything related to “Bork” I would like to be able to use that regex to block all the “Bork” related communities (Bork, ActualBork, BorkinSmork, SmolBork, BorkCirclejerk, etc. ). Is this possible?

Bleacher Report can’t decide who is our most promising player for 2023, but land on London in the end.

It was refreshing to see a take the recognized just how bad Mariota’s passing fame was and that it affected the young star players last year. Especially as they saw the improvement with Ridder in the final four games.

I don’t believe in year to year momentum, but it is a good indicator that the front office is not just blowing smoke by sticking with Ridder as a Tannehill-esque upside for Ridder.
