@shagbark_hick sections

I've been working on an essay that now exceeds 10,000 words in length. I try my hardest not to do this, but sometimes, it's unavoidable. My question to you is this: would you rather read the whole thing, straight up? Or would you rather see it split up into two sections?

@BiscuitsJesus i met four different groups of people from England today at the pool

Vegas is all Phish fans and wrestling folks

@miles_commodore never had it. i would like to

They only have about 1,000 restaurants or so in the US so they are still very small compared to the big boys, but in my opinion Culver’s is the best burger chain in America.

@AltcoinSherpa i m with ya

Thinking about selling my $BTC for alts. Usually when I do this, bad things happen. Therefore I will continue holding my spot btc

@shagbark_hick you look amish in that picture

One of the stranger elements of our "home birth" is that it's given us an intense bond with this particular house. Our daughter was born here. She appears to know it, too. If we're away for a while -- even in places with comfier beds, nicer quarters, etc -- when we come home, she relaxes. Sleeps better. I swear she knows that this is the house she was born in. So this house is a part of our story in a deep way that I quite suspect would be less intense if we'd gone the hospital birth route. We were in here on our own, going through the wildest thing we've ever experienced in our lives. My wife convalesced here; I cut the baby's umbilical cord here. It's where our daughter's story begins, literally. In a sense, homebirthing charges a house with mythos. It makes a house a kind of organism stitched into a family's history. Though there are some valid reasons for hospital birth, and had complications arisen, we wouldn't have hesitated to go that route, it does seem that the widespread practice of hospital birth deprives houses of this incredible, storied, deeply human element. And from this point of view, you can see how houses in earlier times might've been charged with a deeper kind of meaning. To sell one's house wasn't merely to cash in on some equity and move along -- it was to let go of the place where one or more of your childrens' stories began. Before hospital birth was normalized, housing was likely less of an interchangeable commodity and more of an irreplaceable mythic element in each family's story. If the time does come to sell this place, I think I'll have a tough time of it. Would at least have to carve her name into one of the beams before we went.

There are not many people these days who can say they were "born in an old house in the Adirondack Mountains." But our baby can. And she loves the river. Loves the sound of the waterfalls. When we get down she starts singing. She gets it. She's a natural-born Adirondacker.

@AndrewNemec and you are a queen for caring about this story.

I respect Russini as a journalist, and feel badly for the families involved. However, when you publicly call your husband "average (looking)" on TV and joke, multiple times, about getting a divorce (TV) and wanting to be known as a "MILF" (radio), you lose benefit of the doubt.

@shagbark_hick i m really enjoying following you. i live in Saratoga. Lived hear all my life. Your posts make look at upstate, the adirondacks, central, and western NY from a different perspective.

It's hard to convey the intensity of the fogs we get up here in the Adirondacks. They go on for days and days and days. Makes you feel sleepy, kind of out of it, it's hard to get anything done or to go anywhere. It's like the whole village huffed ether. But man, how beautiful.

@yalltitanup Agreed. Even non sports journalists are covering it. Very lame.

I don’t care what anybody says, the lack of privacy people get these days is pretty gross. This should not have been anybody’s business.

@MaggieGray why give attention to this story?

Dianna Russini is a valued voice in NFL media and an expert news breaker. If she wants to continue in this field, she will have ample opportunities. I have no doubt.

@shagbark_hick my word. franklin county is a dark place.

If anyone is looking for a place to practice their graffiti, Ogdensburg NY might be the place to do it. When I tell you people that O'burg is currently in a state akin to NYC in the 70's, I really am not kidding.

@msully5433 bingo.

And if we’re being honest, this account, as well as many others, have pushed the hurt to her reputation along without ANY evidence other than pictures that show nothing and a few awkward/funny clips. You’re all kinda sorta disgusting 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Zigmanfreud @AdamSchefter what are you implying? that adam shefter is gay?

Now that Dianna Russini has resigned, seemingly for having sex with an NFL coach and lying about it, @AdamSchefter has to be getting nervous that news might break about some of the things he has surely done for NFL GMs in order to get all his scoops… 😂😉

@TheSportsHernia i chuckled at "unmoored" while reading statement

Wanted to discuss the great usage of “unmoored” as well as the college paper-extender of “moreover” but replies seem to have accidentally been turned off.

@dandakich who cares dude. Gossip queen.

After watching the “women of #NFL media” at the Super Bowl I told you how ridiculous they act!! Russini is just the most visible and got caught

@mtracey That's what I think too. I'm embarrassed for media outlets picking this story up.

What’s the problem here? Who cares? Nation of hysterical gossipy neo-puritans!

@BGeltzNBA @DMRussini Nicely said. I hope things get better for her. A rough scene for her right now.

The irony in this public thrashing of @DMRussini an her journalistic integrity is the gross LACK of journalistic integrity shown in conclusion jumping off a few pictures without any further context. I wish her and her family the best and look forward to her next stop. She’s an outstanding reporter.

@Paulie_Bruz @NYJ_Matt i feel bad for her.

@NYJ_Matt You know mental health is important to me and she has to be in hell right now, but I feel no sympathy. Play stupid games. Get stupid prizes

COMMENTS OFF???

@cuse365 they have zero chance of being competitive, which really sucks

Not sure how anyone can convince themselves that this roster as it stands right now won’t finish bottom third of the ACC. I’m pulling for G-Mac but this roster is just flat out brutal right now… maybe money really is the issue. G-Mac is going to have to coach his ass off

@brianstelter why are you addressing this story?

Dianna Russini is not addressing the nature of her relationship with Mike Vrabel at all. She is blaming "commentators" for "self-feeding speculation that is simply unmoored from the facts" – but is not stating what the facts are... cnn.com/2026/04/14/med…
