At this point the vast majority of my activity is at the blue place. Overall, it has been a much more positive experience. I have not deleted this account, yet, for purely utilitarian reasons. But I am barely here and I will delete fairly soon. I hope to see on the other side.

Not the news I needed today. RIP sweet soul. The way these last few days have gone maybe I need to unplug the internet at our farm, too.

Escalera Cienfuegos is one of many Valparaíso stairways transformed into art by local artists & NGOs. If you want to argue Valpo’s UNESCO heritage sites are in poor condition, fine, but blame the Chilean government for lack of public investment—not heroic citizens of the city.

After 6 weeks at the blue place I have more followers than I had in 10+ years here. The average level of engagement x post is about 15 x 1 more there than here. I’ve yet to receive any nasty comments there from trolls. There WERE some bot issues early, but this has gotten better.

If you want to explain to these guys what a great player Sterling Sharpe was, they are all ears. 😃 #GoPackGo #sterlingsharpe

In the end one team had, maybe, 10 really great players and the other had like 30. #Eagles are just stacked at every level. #Packers have good players, too, but they really need to sign Myles Garret to close the gap.

If you can name any NFL franchise, besides the #GreenBay #Packers, who have won 3 NFL championships in a row, these 3 baby llamas are all ears 🤣

Just as an experiment, I published this same exact post on the same day here and at the blue place. After 9 days, the post on X has one like and one repost. The same post on Blue… has 153 and 10. No trolls at the other place. No nastiness. It is no wonder this place is dying.

KJ & Little Willie watching the #MilwaukeeBrewers all month from our farm in Chilean Patagonia. They are 💯 convinced the Spirit of Bob Uecker is guiding this team from the other side. #ThisIsMyCrew #Brewers

Chuck Freimund Greetings from Chilean Patagonia. Andrew Vaughn may or may not be named player of the month for July, but he will almost certainly have an alpaca named after him this year 😀 ReadAPoemToday

In these parts, there is no greater honor! Congrats to Andrew Vaughn Chuck Freimund

Another day, another improbable victory for the amazing #MilwaukeeBrewers. Yesterday, they get an extra chance after a pitch clock violation. Today, resting a few starters, they spot the Mets 0-5 and come back to walk it off in the 9th. That’s 25-3 Bob Uecker smiling in heaven.

Oh my God #Brewers #ThisIsMyCrew From 1-8 to 8-8 in less than 2 innings

And to think there were folks who claimed Bill Belichick was a better football coach than Vince Lombardi. #GoPackGo

I’ve seen enough. Past performance aside, at this moment, JLove > than Patrick Mahomes

Packer fan here: Watching what a fine QB Baker has become makes me think about Caleb. Dysfunctional organizations destroy the spirit of great talents. Kudos to Baker for rising above the Cleveland karma.

Andy Herman What Campbell has accomplished in Detroit is historic—but “culture coaches” generally only have 3-4 year window. Eventually their schtick grows stale in the locker room. Evidence: the 4th down & trick play success goes down. They don’t intimidate the North. anymore. #gopackgo

Idea: Somebody should consider introducing American football to Chile’s Easter Island. The Rapa Nui are ethnically very similar to the Polynesians in Samoa & Hawaii and both of those places produce amazing NFL players 😂😂#pukanacua

Analytics predicted the NFL team most likely to regress this year was WASH. They won too many weird games last year & had too much turnover differential—both tend to regress to the mean. Also teams would have tape on Daniels. The team most likely to regress next year? Chicago.

Whose special teams is more cursed? #NFCChampionship
