While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

What if the real cosmic horror was the friends we made along the way, you know? Go listen to gutter you motherfuckers

I am so congested and I shouldn’t be at work but today Mrs. Arr finally gets a day at home with no one around I’m not just a Wife Guy, I’m a Wife Man tyvm

The sum of my moves in the 24-team MNBA dynasty fantasy hoops league this offseason. my 1-17 Wizards are looking to improve, but maybe stay in the lotto one more year. Have 2 (Ace Bailey), 8, 24, and 26 so a lot of talent coming in

Also fuck Adam Silver and all the other men trying to lord over the remarkable players of the WNBA

If you’re concerned that real change isn’t gonna come in the W because they’re not going after the MNBA enough, remember that Adam Silver is currently in the process of eating his own foot just like his stooge Cathy Thanks for being an ally, @pablo.show

Please give Paige the opportunity to the coach by Sandy Thank goodness rational Curt took back over

Anyone know what Nai’s hat is here? Love a good fancy script hat

a democratically elected congresswoman is being denied her seat because the speaker simply does not want to seat her and leadership is as unconcerned about this as they seem to be about everything else

BREAKING: Napheesa Collier's right ankle was NOT fractured at the end of game 3, but may have been fully broken off in Cathy Engelbert's ass. (glad to hear Phee avoided major injury tho)

By the way, remember when they sold 16% of the league for about 1/4 of what a single franchise is now going for, partly in order to improve their digital output? #WNBA

(I know that this is a moment about solidarity, but my one frustration vent here is that this is exactly what people are talking about when they criticize certain younger players standing on the shoulders of those who went before while refusing to recognize how much has been done for them)

Let's go!

Just curious: any other labor/ union folks on here who would wanna go live and talk about what we’re seeing from a worker’s rights perspective? #wnba

This is stupid, but one of the main things all this stuff keeps making me think is that Engelbert needs a better Personal Assistant. Someone should be sending notes on her behalf, or calling people then putting the phone in her hand, saying "try not to use the word 'knees' this time, ma'am". #WNBA

Listening to this for no particular reason after Phee’s exit statement #WNBA #CutCathy #SoLongSilver

I used to run the Civil Rights department of the North American labor movement and I can tell you that this is one of the best public statements I’ve heard/seen from a labor leader about their working conditions in the midst of negotiations. Well done Phee! 👏🏾👏🏾 #wnba

One quote from Collier's statement that I haven't seen transcribed: Collier: 'And in that same conversation, [Engelbert] told me "Players should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them."' #WNBA

Napheesa Collier continued in her statement, saying Cathy Engelbert told Colllier "only losers complain about the refs." "We go to battle every day to protect a shield for a league that doesn't value us." #WNBA

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

A Zoomer watching TRANSFORMERS: BEAST WARS for the first time: “… I’m starting to think none of these robots are gonna give out money for challenges and stunts…”

OH MY GOD WHAT WAS THAT DOUBLE HOOK AND LADDER NONSENSE

Thank god Alanna can play. Seems like she ended G3 banged-up bad. Should still be a ton of Masha minutes on the table; let’s hope PHO didn’t adjust to her enough.

I’m thrilled for THIS version of the Fever—if you’ve followed the WNBA for a long time, watching Odyssey Sims, Shey Peddy, and Aerial Powers being driving contributors to a deep playoff run is so cool.

All anyone needs to know is Aliyah Boston shot more free throws than the entire Aces team — and got away with enough fouls to have been tossed early in the third quarter

The announcer just said Aliyah Boston had 11 FTs in the 3rd quarter. AB got a generous whistle #WNBA

My general belief is that Dems need to spend more time thinking about what they believe and less about what they think some imaginary swing voters want them to believe. Political strategy will stem from an authentic set of beliefs.

Y’all, Lexie Hull might *look* like Sarah Connor but A’ja keeps coming like the titular character of the movie

It’s fucking bizarroworld when the Aces are the ones playing clean and measured basketball, folks

GETTEM POINT GAWD

These whistles are slow as hell. Refs handing out a lot of participation trophy FTs

The shit they’re letting AB get away with is nuts. She was jostling NaLyssa well before the tip and got pushed mid-air 😂 What a joke

#WNBAHistoryLesson #PayThePlayers #MarkShapiroSucks

Did y’all know Grant Junctal’s “Wizard ABC’s” (Ep. 10: Lights, Camera, Magic!) kinda portends Chris Pratt’s evangelical turn a year early? Take the Orb of Farseeing away from Gannon please 🙏 @caseyponey.bsky.social @itsmigdalltime.bsky.social @electriceleni.bsky.social @thatguttershow.bsky.social

Awww, the city of brotherly love 🥹

Excellent context from Coach Jackie.

I may have to doodle DiJonai as a matador with a sweat towel

Coward Cathy 👏 👏 👏-👏-👏

TLDR: keep your powder dry, Lynx fans. It’s not this one play, but the quality of the game control as a whole that was the issue If the officials call anybody going up and under Masha, if they call Satou’s forearm shivers, no one gets comfy enough to where loose and sloppy challenges decide it

FWIW, I think sloppy reffing ENSURED this would be a no-call but isn’t WHY it was First, it’s a bang-bang play never gets called in real time; second, even if AT crossed Phee’s line of travel to make the steal, contact occurs with a loose ball and no clear initiator but both getting “re-routed”

Even a stupid clock is right twice a day, I think the saying goes

IN THIS HOUSE WE REFUSE TO LICK CATHY’S ARIZONA COSPLAY COWBOY BOOTS #YIPPEEKIYAYMOTHERFUCKERZ

Also, chill out on the aggro, Phoenix; I need one team to root for in the Finals and it’s not gonna be Vegas or Indiana 😂

My team’s mom could kick your team’s mom’s ass AND the commish’s ass too #WNBA #Lynx

I want this on a shirt. Hell Reeve might wear this on a shirt next game. #wnba

Still looking for one new manager! This is a really low intensity league, with good people who casually know and like to talk #WNBA ball. Let’s hang out!
