red sox the rest of the al east except the yankees and rays mets when they play the yankees

An important thing to remember on Opening Day is that however your team did today, that is how they will do all year.

first kars for kids ad of the season :) we're home

thank god baseball will never break your heart and is designed specifically not to break your heart

"I'm sad all the time and I don't know why" isn't a polling category and also doesn't sound serious, but "the economy is bad" does.

truly measuring my life in episodes of the pitt rn

Real journalism

therapy is great because some weeks it's like let's talk about the structure of relationships in your life and some weeks it's like have you considered buying a humidifier? And they're both worth the cost of admission to be honest.

when i was in elementary school, a classmate's parent came in for career week to describe being a poet and he was like "if i write just one really good line, that's a day's work" and now in a writing-based job myself, i think that guy was maybe unemployed.

roman anthony is playing for team usa so unfortunately i will have to root against the red sox's boy prince of baseball

a friend of mine from high school refused to use they/them pronouns for people, & said "it" should be fine- when told that would be dehumanizing, he shifted the grounds to argue that he doesn't think he's better than a chair and would be fine being called "it." i am reminded of this re:ai ontology-

every night to get myself to do my dishes i repeat "nobody will improve your life but you" and it's working but i also feel like maybe i'm pulling out the big game pep talk for the wrong stuff

cannot believe we let my beloved refsnyder walk. now who's gonna be in their thirties on my baseball team

it is probably victim blaming to roast people who are eg in love with a chatbot. they were sold a product as "safe." we gotta be merciless with ai, as an industry, though, because if not, they're just gonna keep adding more lead in the pipes. it's their whole business, not a side effect.

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone www.eurogamer.net/discord-advi...

my fevers are gone but i have had an ice pick sinus headache on and off for three days, i truly believe that my only option is to drill a hole and let the goo out

Roses are red, These times are quite trying

valentines roses are red, & gifting candy is nice- but this year stay salty because salt can melt ice

M&Ms CEO: 'most, if not all' meals can be replaced by M&Ms within 12-18 months

psa to mbta riders: you are not a newborn baby deer just learning to wobble on slender-sturdy legs. please walk like it's not ur first day on earth

i need to see so much baseball this year.

you people need jesus voice: read cruel optimism

personally i support package theft

probably dialectics that last year's halftime show was for the haters and this year was for love.

it's fucked up that three days on antibiotics has mostly fixed me. u mean this could have been over a month ago!!!

Help support The Steel Yard (community metalworks in Providence!) furloughed staff, they're very cool and hire a lot of wonderful folks: fundrazr.com/a2gU06?ref=a...

Public comments needed! The admin wants to define grad programs in many "helping" fields (social work, nursing, teaching, etc) to no longer be "professional" degrees. This would mean major student loan restrictions: only $20,500/year. Tuition alone is often more. Please comment by March 2!

objectively from here the more the seahawks score the funnier it gets

this is what a guardians/brewers world series would be like

i'm sort of listening to the game on the radio but i don't understand football- are they just slamming drake maye around? is that as funny to watch as it sounds?

now i recognize fully that the pats are evil. it would be bad for both america and the world if they win. however, despite the overlap in fandom and fan behavior, i will /never/ engage in reflection about the sox thank you :)

now, preface, we know I am a hater. I hate things good and bad. Part of why romance is particularly plum picking for the AI morons, is it operates on a semi procedural logic as an industrial commodity. It is not the only genre of that operates this way, but it is a particularly notable example

It is only one step from LLM to MLM

i taught him this co-dependency and now i must live with it

he climbed on my laptop to secure 100% attention

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.” Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

learning that the entire pats offensive line gets together to drink shirley temples is softening my stance on the joylessness of a pats victory

i had never heard of the """futures market"" (gambling ap) Kalshi so when a student said they wanted to write about it i was like..... the cereal?

i'm not gonna do the work on this but i /yearn/ for research on facebook groups for parents of college-aged children. the "mamma bear power of attorney" stuff is fascinating

if ur in Boston the march for trans lives is still on despite the weather.

hm not to Lib Out but i actually think it's bad to engage in wild conspiracy theorizing when what's actually credible and provable in the docs is bad enough! I do kind of believe there is a difference between truth and fiction, actually!
