I fuckin love nutter butters

Thought these books were deeply depressing (in a very moving way), making me reflect about humanity and the brutal violence that seems so central to our history. Was kind of shocked more science fiction doesn’t take such a critical lens to humanity. Now I’m reading parable of the sower! 😭

Vivid memory of my older brother teaching me to make a bolognese like “you want girls to like you you gotta know how to cook”

I have a vision of a game where the plot has to be advanced by interacting with personalized advertising responsive to choices you made in-game in your everyday life

In 2018, I followed girls’ baseball teams from Boston and D.C. to Baseball For All Nationals in Rockford, IL. Several of those girls were drafted into the WPBL last night. The story is no longer online but you can read it in full below:

Imagine if Leo gets canonized and eight hundred years from now some Catholics are stashing shreds of the White Sox Jersey he wore to the 2005 World Series in an ornate reliquary next to some shards of the cross and Saint Rhaieghaen’s IUD

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

YURI IS SO BACK

It pains me that there is an entire generation of people who have now grown up trained to view manipulative, engagement-farming gambling games as the norm for video games. There are countless people who have formative, nostalgic memories of opening loot boxes and the excitement of gacha ten-pulls

Time limiting almost all my apps so I’m forced to read all the goddamn books I’m backed up on :)

“Proactive” bearing so much load here lmaoo

Really miss the person I was before I owned a smartphone and brainstorming how to get back there

i love it when something is by dint of something else. i tell all my friends, don’t text me about shit unless it’s by dint of some other shit

Bombshell report exposes how Meta relied on scam ad profits to fund AI arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

They can build this shit if they want to keep their bubble alive another six months and it makes them happy but what they can’t fucking do is externalize the costs into the public’s health or our fucking electricity bills

I implore you, as someone who works in a massively demonized and misunderstood tech area myself (drones): YOU have to be making that sales pitch right now to the skeptical about why your tech isn’t evil. You can’t just grumble at people for not being as technical as you, appealing as that is

Why are we all seeing more AI ads on social media? "You can simply publish tons of different versions of low-effort bullshit, and largely people will only see the ones that perform well," @jasonkoebler.bsky.social writes. Let's get into it:

Welcome to the start of Game 9 of the World Series

we're going 19 this time, fuckos

who cares about a bum knee just hit the ball out of the park

This whole series has felt like “Let’s see Dave Robert’s wriggle out of THIS one!” And I would like it to not end with “Ah, well, nevertheless”

They should invent things to thing about other than the imminent winner-take-all World Series game

Believe it or not, Giménez's ball had an expected batting average of .710. Classic bloop, read as such by both runners. Great read by Kiké, great jump, slightly bad baserunning, Game Seven.

Rendezvous on the Beach, by Edvard Munch, 1896

The Dodgers told me Yesavage keeps striking out their batters so I asked how many batters they have and they said they just go to the dugout and get a new batter afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding batters to Yesavage and then Jason Bateman started crying.

Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that the Blue Jays played the Mariners to the absolute ends of the earth to the depths of game 7, are now facing the greatest player every to walk on to a field on a team so stacked to the brim with talent people are Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

spoke to the folks at obsidian about the outer worlds 2 and what if anything we should glean from the game about their relationship with their corporate parent www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

Woah

My take on the World Series? I support Shohei Ohtani’s role as global ambassador for Oi Ocha. I’m a regular Ito En drinker and I agree with Ohtani’s take: “So much is happening these days. It makes sense to take a break for green tea.”

The Blue Jays lose one of the most grueling games in World Series history, learn one of their best hitters will be out of the lineup… then beat the Dodgers 6-2 to even the series as if it were nothing. World Series is tied, and it’s going back to Toronto one way or the other.
