“Labor unions like them” is a huge stretch for like, one construction union that does. As someone who lives in Virginia with Democratic leadership and most data centers per capita esp in poor areas, I promise it’s because Democrats here like the contract money and don’t give a shit what voters want

A new frontier for @foldablehuman.bsky.social in however many years:

nope I am off today this does not concern me until tomorrow

UK: this fifth tier football club’s stadium was built three days after the 11/11 armistice. All the away end seating is lawn chairs. The nearest pub was frequented by Lord Byron USA: this high school stadium seats 45,000 people. We fired every math teacher to get it built bsky.app/profile/pear...

Fuck that. My team had red hats long before that asshole came around.

"nobody i know voted for Nixon" has been a punchline on the right for 50 years

What I'm taking from this is how vague and meaningless these genAI disclosures are allowed to be. You really have no idea what they used it for. Could be textures, could be concept art, could be they just used a transcription tool for meetings. The vagueness sucks.

John Kruk’s running “Random Occurrence = Pitch Clock Violation” gag is killing me

A gleaming Donald Trump hits "the Blanka pose" during a TV interview. Electricity pops and sizzles visibly around his heaving form as he prepares to complain about the way he is talked about on television.

Every sports journalist should have this sentence tattooed on their forehead:

players and the union don't set markets — MLB does

the thing about MLB offering this when it is in complete control of the blackout policy is that it's a union busting tactic. "players don't care if the fans get to see the games" could very possibly be a narrative MLB creates as a result. don't doubt how low they could stoop.

MLB promising to end blackouts if they get a salary cap — something that won’t happen, because all national games (which they add more of every year) will still be blacked out — has powerful “fifth grade class president promising recess twice a day and ice cream for lunch” energy

pretty cool to develop a technology that makes people unlearn the concept of learning

This is genuinely one of the most fascinating artifacts I’ve ever seen

MD’s public pension system divested ~85% of the Israeli sovereign bonds it held last year. That's >$62 MILLION divested from Israeli bonds. But the work is not over.

ProPublica don’t share WBFF Bullshit Challenge: FAILED

Abolish prisons

This is bullshit by the way. There were fewer Nazis and a little less harassment for like two years. That’s it. I’m sorry that hurt @natesilver.skystack.xyz feelings, but there was a ton of pluralism, with voices from all over the world. Not everything is about the American far right.

There are players who are sincere allies and I wonder if it would be better for baseball to start highlighting them instead of the chuds like Blake Treinen. We’ve known who he is for a long time, this isn’t new information, and MLB is full of guys like this. They won’t be shamed by this.

Blake Treinen is the same guy who said to not call his sinker witchcraft, on account of that symbolizing a devilish pact that infringed on his purity in the eyes of his own God

A Dodger pitcher being an absolute loser? An annual event. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

So stupid and all because of that dumbass war

Blake Treinen isn’t a good enough pitcher to pretend to give a shit about him being a goblin.

LOL it’s 2026, no one is shocked by this they just think you’re a jerk

A major challenge for anyone who comes to power soon (the next Congress & post-Trump admin in 2029) is figuring out 1) how to quickly restore everything vital dismantled by Trump, and 2) how to guarantee long-running vital work in such a way that a future reactionary cannot just dismantle it at will

AI, Argentina, Antichrist. Peter Thiel’s decision to plant roots in Argentina makes a lot more sense now that President Javier Milei has unveiled plans to ban AI regulation and allow "non-human" corporations. The "Network State" rears its ugly head. www.thenerdreich.com/ai-argentina...

He’s right, FIP is dogshit

We handed the Pentagon to an explicit christian nationalist and all we got was boat murders in the carribean, a disastrous war he can't win, and a revanchist purge of anyone not deemed white and christian enough to command a crusade.

Hegseth at Normandy weeping about all the lives lost because the Panzers couldn't repel the invaders in time

These sick bastards are the ideological heirs of the Nazis and they know it. They go to D-Day events and implicitly position themselves *with the defending force*. Cannot wait to see them all driven from power.

Angering a nun feels…ominous

Oh Victor

NEWS: SoFi Stadium cashiers, dishwashers, cooks, bartenders, concessions workers, and food attendants voted 96% to authorize a strike, just a week out from when the stadium is set to host its first World Cup game www.huffpost.com/entry/unite-...

wow. a puppet that causes harm and makes you feel slow burn agonizing pain and regret for past misdeeds, and then there's the guy from saw too

Once upon a time, the person doing captioning for the Phillies needed a shortcut to make sure they spelled Jhonathan Díaz correctly and now everytime TMac says "John" (frequent) the captions say, "Jhonathan Díaz."

POV: Sonic the Hedgehog now, for some reason:

you don't say

One could almost be forgiven for thinking we don't have one or even more than one department dedicated to computer security. Some sort of command center responsible for cyber security. A CYBERCOM if you will...

Important news: My wife, who worked in Detroiters’ art department, has located the original Karn on the Cobb file in her archive.

obviously we need to stop this from happening regardless but it's also why i have not encouraged any adults to get their late diagnosed autism on paper in the last several years... there's not much point, there's no real services, and there is a lot of whatever this is!
