I do not believe wilt chamberlain was a "Kia NBA MVP" but point taken I guess

this is for sure my most boomer brained tendency but the Lakers simply cannot be allowed to win wearing black alternate uniforms at home in an elimination game

cardiff, wales. spent one night there when I was about 15 and just had a thoroughly miserable experience top to bottom.

"the red sox traded jeff bagwell for larry andersen" is a fact that's been in my brain probably since i was 7 years old and is part of why despite 20 years of constant success i still have a hard time recognizing boston sports teams aren't all pathetic losers

usually when i watch pro races i imagine myself in their position and think how amazing it would feel to be able to do these races. exceptions to this are paris-roubaix and the angliru. two things i'm very happy to never do on a bike.

some days i really miss gawker

i don’t have a lot of thoughts on the youngs knowing the beatles or not (i think mostly people will continue to be generally aware of the beatles) but it really shook me when i realized that i (born 1985) will most likely still be alive for the 100th anniversary of ‘meet the beatles’

as a bicycle racer, i appreciate how that horse just tailgunned the whole race until the final 1/8th and ripped off the sprint of his life to win it. this is what i try to do in crits except i can't actually sprint so i usually just come in 12th.

it’s kind of a bummer how every restaurant in urban america is the same restaurant now, BUT that restaurant is so much better than anything you could get outside a few cultural capitals 20 years ago.

this list is fine as these things go, though in typical times culture infographic style its attempt to be everything for everyone results in its being nothing for no one

this, signed by the top three leaders of the DOJ, is indeed one of the worst legal filings I've seen in my life, but I can't help but enjoy the idea that these guys are risking disbarment to make sure Trump gets his ballroom

it is kind of funny to think about how the firebomb-a-walmart online left is reacting to the guy who actually tried to kill trump being a will stancil superfan

yeah, let’s keep our eye on the ball, people, every bullet fired at donald trump is one fewer bullet that can be fired into the head of a sea lion

this is happening because I paid for their single-team MLB.tv package for the first time in 15 years this year

fantastic collection of people in the replies here who read neither the article nor any books written by its subject, declaring the factually accurate headline false and his books garbage AI slop (which they are obviously not). much illiteracy being invoked as proof of exceptional literacy.

well i guess we've discovered the conditions under which i'll root for the lakers (marcus smart making winning plays en route to humiliating ime udoka)

ime udoka should've yelled harder I guess

watched a dude on an e-moto weave through bike traffic on market st at 30 mph in the middle of rush hour, blow a red light and do a full back wheel skid stop to avoid getting hit by a bus, all right in front of an SFPD cruiser

i lived a 5 minute walk from this place for 2.5 years and went inside it maybe twice. rockridge is one of the best grocery-served urban neighborhoods in america.

love that bsky was doing DMB discourse while I was out running a bike race today, a great favored topic of mine

the thing about being 11 in 1996 is I so badly just wanted *access* to evil empire, I had one friend whose parents let him buy parental advisory CDs and I went over to his house to listen to it like the most secret forbidden knowledge

lovely piece

paris-roubaix and the final round of the masters on the same day has me at my most middle aged white man I can be

feeling surprisingly emotional for wout rn

it's funny how circumstantial these things can be, like i had one really fun night in orlando so i have sort of warm feelings toward orlando even though i know if i had to live there i'd probably off myself within 6 months

if they ever send a satellite into deep space to introduce ourselves to aliens again they should include a clip of jokic hitting the fadeaway over wemby

I hate that this is probably true

i love “bluesky is dying” discourse because whenever one of those posts goes viral you’ll see 1000 people in the replies being like “this is only happening because bluesky won’t give the users what they self-evidently want, which is {my esoteric request that is different from the other 999}”

a pogacar win can never really be "exciting" but that's probably as close as it gets

haven't seen OBAA yet but I have seen on bluesky tonight like 17 incredibly confident and contradictory posts about what It Is Actually About

oh my god jaylen brown

I am a chalamet skeptic and have little interest in caping for him but I'm pretty sure that was his point?

i’m a lawyer, i wear suits a lot, i’ve worn suits in lots of conditions (NYC subway in summer, ridden a bike to court, an outdoor wedding in 90 degree heat) and i can’t even begin to fathom how you’d manage to sweat through a shirt, your suit lining, AND the suit fabric, it shouldn’t be possible

83 = 8 x 3 = 24 💜 💛

have been looking at this listing for like 20 minutes just marveling at how far astray cars have gone. just a nice car, looks like a car, works like a car, seats look comfy as hell, no screens, i'd die for this car right now.

damn, i thought about putting gas in my car while i was out yesterday but was like "eh i've got half a tank and the baby needs to get home for a nap" (i live in a city and fill my tank ~once a month), looks like i blew it

strava AI, in addition to being useless, is just impossibly stupid. this was a casual ride to/from Costco at <10 mph. I did over 400 watts for a minute literally three days ago. also none of that has anything to do with sprinting.

hell yeah

while this is a critical (if not fatal, then definitely ceiling-lowering, especially for business applications) flaw of LLMs, from chatting with some clients who are working on AI companies it's not a choice, it's an as-of-now insurmountable fundamental element of how these things function

i'm sure this is an unoriginal answer but like twice a year to this day i get an absolutely insuppressible craving for original blue box kraft mac & cheese and have to go to a gas station to get the ingredients and make it, and it needs to be accompanied by chocolate milk

i downloaded 'of human bondage' from project guttenberg a few years back on a whim, having no idea what it was even about, and its depiction of a working class kid's class anxiety around awful trust fund hipster artists was so much realer than anything i've read from the 21st century

noonan and brad dourif share the amusing position of generationally talented lifer character actors who maybe turned in their best performances on episodes of the x files

to all who celebrate etc
