People want to work 20 hours a week from home and the economy produced those jobs in abundance and then ripped it away to placate busy body bosses who want to feel special in an office lol

Going to be thinking about this House Call from @swerveconfident.bsky.social for a long, long time ...

This is completely deranged: Iran is required to play games in the US but ISN’T ALLOWED TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY OVERNIGHT. They will instead have to fly back to Mexico. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

happy memorial day

Checking in on the Chicago Cubs after a big 3 game series at home

first big league hit for Pedro! 👏

Probably 80% of posters madness is downstream of thinking that posting on a niche microblogging platform is, in some way, important, rather than being a way to waste time on your phone

The funniest thing Iran could do is send a really nice wedding present to Don Jr. and Bettina.

Oh, hello my dear working class white male, might I interest you in a fucking Miller Lite? Yeah, I also know how to bust chops like you guys do when you are hammering and sawing in your Carhartt clothes

the truth that people have had a very hard time grappling with, because it is karmically unsatisfying, is that harris ran a good campaign and lost anyways

We've become an unserious society because unserious people flood the zone without shame and wash out the serious people, who can never hope to keep up

The judge:

Kyle Busch one of those names you know even if you don't watch NASCAR

I’ve covered Chicago’s federal courthouse for 11 years and have never seen a hearing like this one.

Even if you combine Space and Connectivity, that side of the business looks…fine? Not at a a $2trn valuation but it’s a real business. But AI is a black hole. Incinerating cash, no demand. Doesn’t make money even ex R&D. Just a money pit.

Before #AEWDoN, watch the the Buy In FREE before the PPV THIS SUNDAY! Your new co-hosts are Renee Paquette & Mick Foley! Foley’s coming back to TBS, where he ran wild as Cactus Jack! Don’t miss his first night in AEW on Sunday + see you for Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite TONIGHT!

Glad ABS broke in the 2nd inning of a cubs-brewers game in may rather than, uhhhhh, September and October? Brewers just get the (badly timed imo) challenge back?

Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

Donald Trump is stealing your money: defector.com/donald-trump...

At least Elon pissed his pants in front of the legal system again

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

MICHAEL CONFORTO RESPONDS WITH A GAME-TYING BLAST THE CROSSTOWN CLASSIC 🤯🤯🤯

Pete Crow-ARMSTRONG 💪 What a throw 🤯

Bill Cassidy stuck us with RFK Jr for literally nothing

Funny (not funny but you know) that a substantial number of people in this country can't accurately assess what's going on because they can't bring themselves to believe that someone could be this stupid, let alone the president

My man looks like he directed an arthouse biopic about the Pillsbury Doughboy.

fertility rate discourse is creepy and we should stop doing it

Nobody was asking for 3 new Drake albums in 2026. I see a lot of stupid nonsense online these days but c'mon. Everyone regardless of age, race, or creed should be done with that dude

Ben Brown should pitch more than 4 innings next start

The relevant portion of the Jason Collins discussion

I am willing to admit freely that I do not have the ability to alter the behavior of someone who won't go looking for sports scores somewhere that isn't run by a man who screams every day about how we need worldwide apartheid

I don't think recent memory has featured an industrial company with as much of a reputational fall-off as Tesla, both because of the decrease in quality of its cars and the increase in blithering fascism in its CEO. A decade ago a Tesla was a status object; now it's a vague embarrassment at best.

Google, Microsoft, and Meta brag about how most of their code is AI-generated now. The developers generating that code say it sucks and that it's making the stupid www.404media.co/software-dev...

Reminded once again today that basically all social media at its core is designed to trick you into thinking the time you spend staring at your computer or phone is being spent accomplishing something important

i think a major piece of the cultural backlash to ai is that it promises ultimate convenience, but treatlerite level conveniences hasn’t really made anyone much happier, only to make people feel far more lonely

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Ayo Dosunmu off his leg to himself

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

Our parents generation brought back Jim Crow

I would be a lot more excited about the increased need of having people who could think through things in the “ai” age if we hadn’t spent my 30+ years of life establishing “alarmingly shallow” as the baseline societal standard lol

Just had Canvas stop working as I was typing comments on a student paper. I now can’t access anyone’s work or grades. Strangely, this never happened back when I used a grade book and had students email me their papers, a system no shareholders extracted money from.

Dunno why the Cubs TV guys are interviewing NBA great Oscar Robertson but it’s kinda making my day tbh

I do think that “what is college actually for, as it currently exists” and “how and why has that changed over time” and “what SHOULD college be for, ideally” are all fascinating questions and it’s too bad that they are totally impossible to contemplate without being stricken with The Madness

“What educators, parents and policy officials really needed was high quality data and evidence to help guide them. What they have had to deal with instead is some substandard research.”
