This Lane Kiffin debacle means every other coach, fan, and commentator can just stop it with the pearl clutching about the lack of loyalty from players in the portal era. You want loyalty? Needs to start at the top.

It’s possible that Texas A&M just isn’t all that good? They were undefeated against 7 of the bottom 8 teams in the SEC standings—and lost to the only one they played outside of that. Otherwise, it’s all contingent on a 1-pt win over ND—whose major claim to fame is only losing to Miami and Texas A&M.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Why are all the operation names suitable as condom brand names?

That’s Alabama’s 7th loss at home since 2008. I’ll take that OU win however we get it. This fan base won’t be SEC-ready until it just takes the W’s however they come.

Societally, we are a short step from someone suggesting staging actual Hunger Games would be a good premise for reality programming, and apparently some kind of crypto (bullshit) coin.

So are the immigrants illegally on welfare or buying houses? Neither is a thing at scale, but you sure as hell are not doing both.

The good thing is that regardless of who wins tonight it isn't the Yankees.

The AI video Trump posted of himself dumping shit all over America from a plane was metaphorically the most accurate piece of propaganda he’s put out this year.

Remember when this same network asked if Obama gave a “terrorist fist bump”?

That safety for OU is significant for some

Seems like the proper way to honor Kirk in his death is to give a solid “Meh” since empathy has “done a lot of damage” and his shooting death is just the price to pay for those sweet, sweet 2nd amendment rights.

Again.

They told me if I voted for Kamala Harris we'd become a socialist country, etc., etc.

The GOP needs to look up the phrase “the government controls the means of production”

To: All Staff Subject: IMPORTANT REMINDER!!! NEVER lend animals your phone to order items online. Gavin just confiscated another anvil and six rockets from the coyote enclosure.

I can’t help hearing all the arguments about “erasing history” when statues honoring civil war losers were being taken down.

Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.

I had the pleasure of transferring 840TB of data on S3 this summer. attn: @radarscope.app @jmwolf.bsky.social

In conjunction with the AWS Open Datasets team, we are changing the AWS S3 bucket that contains up-to-date NEXRAD Level II archive data. There is a new bucket name and SNS notification topic, but no other changes. The legacy bucket name will be discontinued September 1, 2025. buff.ly/WVBvt26

I remember, years ago, thinking with AI we’re repeating all of the same kinds of mistakes that were made with nuclear technology, esp. with regards to not thinking through consequences or long-term damage. Yup, still feel the same. We’re living in Black Mirror 24/7 now.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

We are not biologists. We don’t need to build taxonomies on what something IS. Focus on DOING, not BEING. Almost every OOP intro gets this wrong. 2/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo84...

If schools were actually preparing kids for white-collar work they wouldn't be phone-free, you'd have to have your phone on your desk all day for the authenticator apps

“Vibe coder” is to “programmer” as “image/video Gen AI” user is to “artist”. I’m happy for all to be welcomed into their respective communities, but let’s not gloss over obvious complications.

this is the only confederate statue they should be allowed to keep

This is the same genetic code that thought selling STEAK through THE SHARPER IMAGE would be a success.

I'm going to stop posting screenshots because I strongly urge people to read the full article; here is a gift link I will just say that this is one of the most disturbing pieces I've ever read about AI, and I've read a lot of disturbing pieces about AI

I told you we’d be back

I seem to remember being told that we should allow people to fly the Confederate flag, since it was “people’s heritage”, even though it was the flag of traitors fighting to preserve slavery.

With the current funding landscape, it’s more important than ever for Unidata to hear from the community to understand how best we can meet your needs.

First time since 2019 that OU softball ended the season with a loss.

I’m old enough to remember when the GFS was the “MRF” and we called them “MRF-canes”

finding it impossible to become inured to these sorts of accounts of what LLMs are doing to high school students' ability not only to read or write, but to think, or even to "have interests," as this teacher puts it

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the support and kind words from everyone in the community. It really helped in getting through this rough time not to mention made clear the importance of our mission and the positive impact we have. Rough waters remain ahead but I’m grateful to be here.

We at NSF Unidata are pleased to announce that we have now received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the next year of our five-year award. This allows us to end the current furlough of our staff and resume our operations. buff.ly/GafcZts

Every fucking ICE agent at these raids looks like he has to buy his own new Truck Nutz every Father's Day because his grown kids are no-contact

The real informative polling question would be: “Knowing what you know now, would you change your vote?” I feel like the number changing would be depressingly low.

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

Pretty reasonable take. I’ll push back on the ethics a bit, with a focus as someone who came of age while SCO v. IBM over Linux code was a thing. The utter irony of MS, who claimed Linux infringed on all sorts of IP, now pushing IP-infringing AI systems for software development makes me feel things.
