serious critics like me never say that LLMs are useless. unserious poseurs strawman us every chance they get.

how drunk do you have to be at 1:30am to pull up behind a parked car at a red light on 16th street in DC and start honking indiscriminately when the light turns green as if they gonna go?

i love driving by an opulent home in a very wealthy neighborhood and seeing a toyota camry in the driveway it’s probably the housekeeper’s car but i like to think that the family still values the practical sensibility of the mid sized family sedan despite their obscene wealth

“contaminated”

double dribble was so sick

Some of us are too fucking online that we remember that she actually went viral as a high school senior after writing an entitled essay in the Wall Street Journal for not getting into an Ivy League school because she was too white or not woke enough or whatever.

very big shout out to the kid working the UPS store at the wheaton mall who said exactly nothing to me other than, “yo criterion collection, bro?”

saw the wedding present and the tubs last night at black cat in washington, DC

Aw, what a legend. And I have heard from a few bartenders that George Wendt was a generous tipper in real life. youtu.be/VXED2AVlbR0?...

so i went to see mj lenderman last night in DC wearing my allan houston knicks jersey and so many people in the show and outside were psyched for the orange and blue. one kid in the show came over just to tell me that he went to the same high school as josh hart

guys…

With there being some downtime between now and the start of the Pacers series, I’m gonna be that person and plug my book on 1990s Knicks, which has the entire backstory of how the Pacers and Knicks became such bitter rivals during that era www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1982...

guys what are we doing here?

not sure if this is controversial but i really like the new viagra boys

ever think about how maybe we're actually all dead and this is hell and that's why we're doomed to keep having Pete Rose discourse forever?

🚨new york basketball fans🚨 i printed this shirt last year and dug out a few from the archives i have assorted M, L & XLs in tees and sweatshirts in both colors a portion of proceeds in may will be donated to the american cancer society. 🙏 redsaucemerchclub.myshopify.com/products/new...

I've started explicitly addressing some of what's described in this article as I go on my merry way, institution to institution insisting that we can and must continue to teach writing. There's two main risks. Both are real. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/t...

every story i read about students and instructors using chatgpt makes me feel very proud to be one of the last wave of americans who know how to use my brain

my point generally is that i dont think there is any explicit ineligibility for the roids guys and they’ve remained out by not receiving enough votes

i hate to get all john roberts on us (tho i do have quite a few more vertebrae left) but for a thing that has a deliberate voting process that takes place annually, having a separate list of “ineligible” people seems unnecessary, the vote should reign.

the celtics are +26 from 3P and FT

excellent answer from the bocker bois

there is a lot to hate about thibs but his lack of explicit adjustments to very obvious issues is the worst thing

i may be old and bald but the kid working the register at trader joe’s just came over to tell me that my TURNSTILE shirt was very dope and that he was at the free show in baltimore on saturday ✌️

who wants to tell him?

ross douhat: you could really make the case that this was an act of heroism by the president

tr*mp: i could murder someone in the middle of 5th ave and get away with it ::literally murders someone in the middle of 5th avenue:: pulitzer prize-winning NYT journalist: we must seriously consider the possibility that the president acted in self-defense

It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption” What are we even doing?

pretty wild for a pulitzer winning writer to so explicitly conflate the meaning of “corruption”, broadly defined, and “bribery”, which is one specific manifestation of “corruption.” it’s an especially wild benefit of the doubt given to an admin who vehemently pursued the actions of hunter biden, ex.

I can't top this one.

the hospitality group behind the cocktail brand death & co is crowdsourcing a series c fund raise and promoting it on instagram and i can’t help but feel a little “death” inside 😵

if he closes the deal i will love that bald juventino from lecce for the rest of my days period

can thibs make a good challenge at some point?

it is very important to me that mike breen is in this call tonight LFG

i am sure that i will regret saying this but i am just not very titillated by either the cavs or the pacers. just a bunch of kirkland players and donovan mitchell

tatum could have walked into the paint and took a 3 instead. this celtics team is poisoned

the refs literally missed two separate fouls against brunson by white, high and low

monumental fuck up by thibs. derrick white slid that last foot late. he needed to burn his review. even if he lost. he would have stopped the clock, given everyone a chance to breathe.
