Did Cassian Andor die in vain? Yeah probably lol.

The thrusting continues in the San Francisco outfield #sfgiants

BottleRock day one for @sfchronicle.com 🎸

Bet it could look like this at the White House and a huge percentage of the population would be apathetic/mildly supportive. (TBC it's a still from "Civil War", a B-/B movie I think is/was deeply misunderstood by a bunch of people who post here. EG: the characters' apathy is a main thrust.)

The Giants have a corner IF and DH type who's been down this year but is still relatively young.

MF said "anecdote"

Watching Peacock and just saw an ad for an online student loan refi company starring Sophie Cunningham. Then an ad for chatgpt where a grown woman farmer is asking the chatbot to run resource usage reports. So I guess that's happening.

Haven't heard a "flopper" chant at an NBA game like this before

Once again, if you're gonna use Chrome, I urge people to consider this simple adjustment that makes things a million times better. tedium.co/2024/05/17/g...

My primary objection to this is that Saved by the Bell is primarily a GenX cultural object since the oldest millennials were 11 years old when it went off the air.

Reminder that there is a workaround so you don't have to put up with shitty "AI" summaries in mobile Chrome search.

It genuinely amazes me that organizations like this wouldn't have like 10-15 food professionals dedicated to the needs of small groups of athletes and provide personalized service. No need to make such sweeping decisions.

Alternative possibility: The people REALLY in charge are too dumb for words.

i understand the reasons to refer to money Trump swindles as "taxpayers' money" but also it's irritating. for one thing not all the government's money comes via taxes. for another not everybody is a taxpayer. most importantly, the government's money belongs to the public no matter where it came from

Raffi is great. One of the most important musical artists in American history. Raffi < Caspar Babypants < Elizabeth Mitchell

Lol Kuiper is so disgusted with the Giants right now. That bat flip by Marte man...

The AI boom is unsustainable because the entire thing is predicated on cannibalizing the future. Is this a better way to search? Maybe! Will there be anything new for the AI to search if no one gets web traffic from Google Search anymore? There will not.

this is a masterpiece

What Sports Illustrated has become really is such a bummer. I tore through every issue that came to our house bc we watched so much sports at home, which meant it was great writing about a part of culture that I had real access to. It helped me understand that writing about culture could be a job.

This is great because the second picture, especially, looks like a Rockwell painting of kids seeing Babe Ruth or something.

Wembanyama is sooooo swaggy in this postgame interview. Nobody can tell him shit because he knows he's on top of the league right now.

Chet so mad. This is great.

LOLOLOL LMAO Wemby is unfair

Spurs should do that play to Wemby every time down no one else is catching it on that pass lol

SAS vs OKC

Wemby is better than most create-a-players I've seen in 2K

They downloaded Steph Curry into an Ent

I still can't believe I just saw a 7'5 guy take a pull-up 30-foot game-tying three. This is what it must've been like to see a movie in color for the first time.

WEMBY

FREE BASKETBALL

I read this as leaders not wanting to put in the effort to learn students' names. If you're going to ask them to record names into a cpu system, you may as well just ask them to record their names for a person or people to use as guides. The AI way tells families you see their kids as products.

Google changed the icons for the G-Suite stuff and it's a HUGE improvement. Somebody got through to them that making every icon the exact same colors with some variations in shapes does not make it easy to differentiate between them at a glance.

I keep it simple. Bacon, eggs, grits, fruit, and $3 tip.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

One of my favorite things about this time of year — mascot reveals at graduation.

The boys heard the fans and brought back the thrust

Yesterday, Harrison Bader potential grand slam was blown in -2 feet by wind and pushed 20 feet right preventing a home run, per @WeatherApplied Today, he hits a grand slam that was pushed out 7 ft and 18 ft right by wind, creating a home run Nature giveth and taketh!!

Wheeeee!

Extremely annoyed to feel like the Giants winning an ABS challenge top 1 with 0 outs is a possible highlight

one of my favorite twitter interactions was with Notch after he sold Minecraft, my garbagetwitter fam was fighting with him and after a while I posted this pic of his mansion and said "If I lived here I'd be offline rn having a pool party with my friends" he blocked me instantly lol

Think the broadcast just said Skenes issued his first walk since April 13 lol

Every graduation speech about AI

Someone else made this point already but the He-Man movie bombing seems like an unusually clear example of movie executives thinking that the generation of parents that currently have kids they go to the movies with is 15 years younger than they actually are.

Highlight of last night at karaoke was two very visibly pregnant women getting up to sing and wondering aloud with a friend what would constitute, like, a pregnancy karaoke song and then everyone in the bar reacting in unison to their perfect choice, which was “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas

LANDMAN is ripe for this because it routinely has Billy Bob Thornton go off on wholly-untrue pro-oil rants. His most famous one is about wind turbines not offsetting any carbon over their 20-year life cycle. In reality, they're fully offset within an average of 5.3 months.

New idea for CBS procedural: "Deuce Ventura: Pet Detective" 25-yo Deuce washed out of the police academy because the brass still haven't forgiven his dad, Ace, for making them look bad in the 90s, even though Deuce did everything he could to define himself apart from his father.

TIL that the 1999 Oakland Athletics had multiple games in which they played 40-year-old Tony Phillips in CF, 39-year-old Tim Raines in LF, and 31-year-old Matt Stairs in RF. That seems... sub-optimal. www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/OAK/OA...

if ever a skeet deserved to be (golden) ratioed

Not knowing anything about how they are to work with etc, but... A British guy who is reasonably accomplished, not that high profile, relatively young, and therefore could probably sign on for the next 10-15 years: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Po...
