Just stopped at the store for a set of sewing needles and a value-sized pack of denture cleaner. Having trouble beating the allegations of being an old person today.

“The name on the front is a HELL of a lot more important than the name on the back! Wait…. What?”

My idea for breaking the Mariners out of this slump: bat Raley and Raleigh next to each other, so that if they both get on base you’ve got a Raley Raleigh Rally.

A reminder that Ron Francis pulled off the biggest celebrity flex I have ever seen in person: I was waiting for a PT appointment at the Virginia Mason clinic at the Iceplex, and I watched him walk in for an appointment WITHOUT HAVING TO CONFIRM HIS NAME OR DATE OF BIRTH WITH RECEPTION. Baller.

I don’t think I ever appreciated how many strip club jokes they used.

HOLY SHIT FRINKIAC BUT FOR "30 ROCK" MILLENNIAL GAME-CHANGER funcooker.fun/

Showing this repository of amazing ancient memes to my family and it’s exactly the distraction we need in these horrible times

Ad Astra Per Cacatus

Interesting that we waited until there are widely available, industrial-grade tools for generating fake images and video before we sent people to the moon again.

I regret to inform everyone that I finally upgraded to the new iOS and I don’t hate it yet. Am I even allowed to be here?

Me, a couple hours ago: “eh, I’m just not that interested in the tournament this year. Me, after watching this clip: “dammit March madness is the best sports, period.”

This year’s must-have accessory for your bath-time nachos.

Good job, Mr. Kennedy. You only want lean proteins in your corner, like the Gobbledy Gooker.

One of the things I love most about bsky is that people get all worked up about things like this for 12-24 hours, and then someone’s like, “sorry, this isn’t true at all.” I feel like this happens every week!

No way there isn’t a Sausage Race from a Brewers game that would be relevant.

Life on bsky:

I can see a lot of commenters have never watched or played beer league hockey.

I already like this output way better than any actual GenAI patent drawing tool I have used.

SO THIS SHIT RULES. youraislopbores.me

I was not at all interested in the WBC but just saw a 17 year old HS kid get Aaron Judge to ground into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded and I think this is now my favorite baseball.

There's debate about how licensure requirements used against people are a barrier to entry that limits access to justice and are bad, yet not a lot about how licensure requirements used against GenAI are a barrier to entry that can prevent eroding the profitability of legal services and are good.

Is @cstross.bsky.social writing for @theonion.com now?

The line for merch pregame for the Torrent literally wraps half way around the stadium. This makes me so angry. Just put this gear at the store in KCI and it will sell! Grrrr! Tag @circlingseasports.bsky.social

I feel like I run into this all the time. “Our LLM helps you automate document shell creation, and will save you time!” Bro, if my document shell creation wasn’t already automated and I didn’t have a collection of sample templates to crib from, how would I still be in business?

Me, reviewing the argumentative strength of the table of contents in my patent appeal brief before submitting:

While summarizing prior art is a "low-hanging fruit" use case for AI that is often presented to patent professionals, this suggests that even that simple use case may be particularly inappropriate. 1/2

Saving for our next 6am practice.

Something of moderate size and importance is happening: defector.com/something-of...

Oh no Roger Schank. The guy who decided my undergrad CS education should not include neural networks because it was a “fad.”

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

Nice work, Xfinity guide copy writers.

I look forward to crashing the net and attempting that between-the-legs tip in my next game, where I will proceed to tip the puck directly into my nuts.

I watched a movie once that not only was incredibly bad, but was bad *because of* decisions made by the director/screenwriter. I was then in the front row during a 15-min Q&A with the director while the rest of the theater absolutely GUSHED over the film.

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

Ah, a lovely morning! Got up on time, so I’ll have plenty of time to pack for our flight to El Paso. Let me just check the news before I get out of bed, see what’s going on in the world. Uh….

The bad news is that I have been begging our 12Us not to make that pass because it is always a turnover.

Matthew Broderick, the actor from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, shilling for AI, the actor from the movie War Games

Went to go see the matinee of Spamalot here in Seattle today. For the record: at the end of the killer rabbit scene, after the Holy Hand Grenade, the puppeteer came out in a Seahawks jersey, mugged for the crowd a bit, then said, “Come on, bad bunny!”

Found an image. #random

Saving this one for the next time it comes up in conversation that I missed my flight to my in-laws for Thanksgiving one year because I got stuck in traffic. They live in the 10th Circuit, but I was traveling *from* the 9th!

You know what you never hear anybody say about Epstein? “Well, I knew him for years before any of these accusations came out and he was just really a nice and generous guy. I was very surprised when I finally heard.”

Some people really do take My Cousin Vinny as a career guide.

Only limited seats still available! As is true for every theater with a finite number of seats!

One of the great tragedies of the 20th Century is that you seem to run into unexploded ordinance anywhere you dig in Europe.

Following up a medical drama starring Noah Wylie with a police procedural called _________ Blue? HBO creative is looking at the 1996 drama series Emmy Noms like Cleo McDowell reviewing the McDonald’s operating handbook.

I am delighted that I live in on an Internet where I saw this post in my timeline because it was shared by @greatdismal.bsky.social

Heard this on KEXP in the car earlier tonight. Was fighting back tears over the lyrics when I heard from my 12yo in the back seat, “OK, so who is Bruce Springsteen?”
