The Paralympics snowboard cross event has been a disaster. Last minute changes had to be made to the course due to a spate of injuries during training sessions. This detail floored me: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Ferrari definitely hasn't blown the race already on strategy so that's good

Lindblad to replace Verstappen as red bull #2 driver

Just go down there and get you one

To his credit, @rjcc.bsky.social was part of a coalition of men (and a woman who loves Taco Bell)!who clocked that a man on a dating app was probably using AI to talk to me because "No one would describe that Taco Bell item like that." All other dating advice? Terrible. 🚮

How do you aim at a target you can’t see? It’s not a riddle. It’s para biathlon!

I have been saying for many years that a reason to watch F1 is every weekend you can watch someone like Lawrence Stroll find out that spending infinity money doesn't actually make them smarter and better than everyone else

Really too bad that the Red Bull second seat curse could end Max Verstappen's once-promising career as a Formula 1 driver

How long until they sacrifice Lindblad to the Red Bull second seat?

For the first time in years I didn't have to worry about car 44 not making it to Q2 That's how low the bar has been

Verstappen has crashed in Q1! Red flag. He didn't yet have a time on the board and has gone off at Turn 1 #F1 #AusGP

We're so back #F1

X is exclusively propaganda now and it’s so funny to see all these people with totally cooked brains go “@grok is this real?” and then Grok actually tells them “no, this is a fake conspiracy theory” so they just ignore Grok

This is not what we were expecting to find

...I may have repeatedly tried to get an AI version of me to edit the real me.

Couple things here: 1. What the fuck 2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen 3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out! www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Tune in to Peacock tomorrow at 3:05am eastern to watch Team USA Mixed Team Curling take on back-to-back gold medalists China live at the Paralympics! 🇺🇸🥌

Something i see people say is that they use ai for brainstorming or as a sounding board for ideas, but there's an issue You aren't working with a partner if they can't disagree with you or tell you that your idea is shit. What you're doing is something else and for a different purpose

The pistons really need to not ever play the Spurs again if they can manage it. I'm extremely knowledgeable about basketball and strategy

Impressions from the first FP1 of the F1 season: i forgot Cadillac was out there, which qualifies as a win for a brand new team

Microsoft teases its next Xbox, says ‘Project Helix’ will play PC games too

Why platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket want so badly to be seen as sources of news, instead of anything-goes casinos.

Please. The stories you like

the internet has *always* had a problem of hate-sharing, and if we want to get out of this, we gotta be equally committed to sharing good work and supporting the people who make it

In general, @charlespulliam.bsky.social is one of my fav culture reporters who everyone should be reading www.theverge.com/authors/char...

hey so instead of that predictably terrible atlantic piece, what's a really strong piece of reporting or a great essay you've read recently that more people should read?

🏀 FRIDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏀 Jalen Duren's monster double-double leads the Detroit Pistons to victory in an OT thriller! Cade Cunningham: 25 PTS, 10 REB, 7 AST, 2 STL Ausar Thompson: 18 PTS, 8 REB, 5 AST, 2 STL

Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance’s merger agreement is now official. Paramount and WBD expect the deal to close in the third quarter of this year. Read more from @emroth08.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

Netflix walks away from its deal to buy Warner Bros. after Paramount came back with a better offer

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.

One way to avoid burning yourself out during times of stress is not repeatedly touching a hot stove when there's absolutely no reason for you to touch it as it is not your job and nothing of value is cooking on the stove

I have some suspicions about why prediction markets are striking deals with newsrooms. www.theverge.com/business/881...

Nobody is saying durian because they're in the pocket of big durian.

When someone would make a big show about how they talk to people on whatever side and that they have to do that because otherwise how can you understand them or change their mind I'd ask if they've actually changed someone's mind that way and the people who said those things, never had an example

I find the "nazi bar" discussions boring and mostly used by people who don't go to bars and don't know Nazis. But the reason why you should leave when someone turns bigot isn't the moral/virtue signal bit. It's because bigotry is a con, and it is never the only con or scam they are running.

When Yang Hansen finally met Nikola Jokic on Friday night, he had to clear up last weekend's viral moment. "I said, 'I don't really want to kiss you.' In China, it's respect, because I really like him." Story on Yang meeting his idol: www.rosegardenreport.com/when-hansen-...

Here's the much smarter and more thorough stuff that @lopatto.bsky.social had to say on this topic:

Microsoft's new Xbox chief says "games are and always will be art, crafted by humans" and that Xbox won't chase AI slop. "As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop." www.theverge.com/games/882326...
