Everything happened as it needed to for South Africa. They squeaked by Burkina Faso 1-0 and Côte d'Ivoire cruised 2-1 over Tanzania. Les Élephantes take 1st in the group, and Banyana Banyana's 2nd place finish means they have to beat hosts Morocco in the quarterfinals to qualify for next summer.

In Group B seems to be the tightest. After a stunning loss to Tanzania, typical favorite South Africa drew with Côte d'Ivoire, and now sit in 4th with 1pt, while Les Élephantes are on 1st with 4pts. South Africa now need to beat Burkina Faso and hope for Côte d'Ivoire win v Tanzania.

The Thorns have now dropped 18 points from leading positions, more then any other team in the league. Had they held the lead and kept those 18 points, they'd be 9 points clear of Gotham in 1st place.

I usually get to the radio station an hour before kick-off for away games and text our producer so he can let me in. We have a different producer today, I don't have his number, Lily isn't here yet, and I can see through the window the booth is still dark. Did I got to wrong radio station?

especially coming on the heels of MeToo and with BLM later in the summer. "Things can quickly change across an entire society" was very frightening for them and they expending massive amounts of money and effort to try to prevent it from happening again.

Anyway, my parents are okay, but they have around a dozen friends in the area who lost houses. My brother's HS friend, a firefighter working one of the fires, lost their house. My best friend's mom and sister evac'ed and don't know if their house is gone. It's pretty scary in Spokane right now.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

It's always super fun when you're logging off your work computer for the evening and you realize you misread your calendar timeline, and that report that takes you 4-5 hours to pull together is actually due to the client today and not next Friday. So fun. The best.
