one nice consolation if sausage zverev clinches the laver cup vs tien is that it doesn't matter at all and ultimately he will be remembered as a vile stain on the sport

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth
normally not in favor of booing for double faults but sausage zverev in a grand slam final is the extremely obvious exception
Ticket prices to see the Zverev-Khachanov semifinal are PLUMMETING, now as low as $19 on Stubhub.
Why is no one talking about my favorite Francis Tiafoe moment?!
i completely understand why michelle obama would choose to be emotionally closed/quiet when she is so public at the us open but i would LOVE to see her cheer with her whole heart
Zverev sets a record for most consecutive grand slam semifinals reached after having to pay to settle a domestic violence case to prevent an adverse court finding after being issued a penalty order. Some are saying that's a record that will never be challenged.
with deep regret i have learned that the sausage cooked. let's hope he explodes out of his casing in the semis

The reason AI might kill everyone is not because it will be super-intelligent, but because it will be extremely fallible, but we will give it control over stuff that can kill us anyway. A dog is not super-intelligent, but it will kill you if you let it drive you to work.

shout out on the us open camera guy and producer who, after 4-5 tries, finally threw to kevin hart when he wasn’t slumped in his seat and staring vacantly at his phone
Is Gea vs van de Zandschulp the biggest “letters in your last name” gap in sports history?
just turned on the us open and immediately presented with the existential question of whether or not anyone in history has wanted to hear coco vandeweghe’s opinion
The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.
say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the “dobby’s grave” landmark is just a small dead guy who died on the beach a few days ago. he’s not even buried, someone just saw him and said “that’s dobby” and everyone started piling harry potter merch on him. a sad end for lindsey graham
the more you read about agentic ai that is poorly deployed (or nefariously so) and the more it sounds like a cartoon virus from 1990s tv and something to be squished by a big punk rock boot in its larval stage
OpenAI Didn’t Notice Its AI Agents Using a Message Board to Plan Their Hacking Spree
