Professional table pounder. Amateur opinion haver. Likes technology and sports. Loves dogs. Smells good. Asymmetric in training.
Football players have always been the stereotypical “dumb jocks” in pop culture and I humbly submit to you that we as a society would be better off if we all acknowledged baseball players as the absolute fucking worst.
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d agoThe whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA
I just wanna see women hit a fucking baseball why are fighting me, ESPN?
Saving myself from getting AI psychosis by being cripplingly allergic to compliments and praise.
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 4d agoI sincerely believe that men cannot handle this. women may be falling in love with their chat bots, too. But I don't think they are categorically attached to its flattery to the same degree.
I second the notion that being annoying on the internet should not come with a death sentence. Disclosure: I am annoying on the internet.
Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · 6d agoI, personally, don’t want to hear from anyone who thinks that you should “slit someone’s useless throat” because they are annoying on the Internet. There’s a lot of people who need to get a fuckin’ grip and stop trying to find enemies for PvP on here.
Sometimes you’re the guy who doesn’t read the replies before making the same jokes other people have, but you can always grow into being the man who deletes it when he realizes his error. At least until you’re old enough to get away with doing it intentionally and pretending it’s a lovable quirk.
I, for one, will not condone people making fun of Ross Douthat just because of his face and body. You should also make fun of the mind behind the face.
Boy, it sure was important for the WHCA to fete the Sundown King so they could listen to this rambling incoherent nonsense about how terrible they are.

Personally, I never call them skeets unless someone is being a fucking weirdo about how we can’t call them skeets.

I know Microsoft licensed the actress for Cortana’s voice for their pre-LLM system and I do think that one potentially interesting use-case for AI (provided you could do it ethically, e.g. using local models rather than data centers and responsibly paying your talent) is sports video game commentary
Bravely spending $1700 of my own business’s operating capital 50 times a day to make YOU, the PRIMARY INCOME EARNER OF AVERAGE SUBURBAN 2.5 CHILD NUCLEAR FAMILY, get mad enough that you have to practice those breathing techniques your cardiologist recommended
This is actually an easy mistake to make, he’s referring to my custom Road To The Show character, who is modeled after Ohtani, but had a big where dynamic difficulty got reset to beginner every time I reloaded the game and was a Cy Young finalist, golden glove winner, silver slugger, and also ROTY.
There were lots of WTF moments in the hearing on the subpoenas targeting NYT reporters and their families, but this “where’s the little bitch who filed this bullshit and why the fuck are you hiding from me?” moment may top them all.
Inner City Press@innercitypress.bsky.social · 2w agoBuckley: We would be prepared to immunize these reporters - our focus is on the leakers. Judge: Is Mr. Sullivan here? Buckley: Yes. In the gallery Judge: Why? He is on all the pleadings. Come up- we have extra chairs here. Good afternoon. Sullivan: Good afternoon
Yeah, I’m sorry, but “we didn’t bother to tell the judge that the subpoenas we were asking for were for reporters” is one of those stories that should end with “and that’s why we were all fired immediately for cause.” It well past time for judges to treat the presumption of regularity as dismissed.
Inner City Press@innercitypress.bsky.social · 2w agoJudge: You didn't tell the judge that the subpoena was about reporters, about the New York Times? Sullivan: We did not. It was an oversight. Later we did legal research. Judge: Wouldn't it have been relevant to know there had been public reporting? A: Yes
Awesome. Will he include the Greek gods in his historically accurate movie, confirming he spits in the eyes of Christianity and is an evil heretic, or is he a hubristic hypocrite that shows no reverence for the work he and his loser chuds claim is so important to die exactly as it is written?
Watcher Guru@watcher.guru · 2w agoJUST IN: Elon Musk says Grok will make a "full-length movie" of The Odyssey that is "historically accurate" by the end of this year.
As an undergrad, we had a discussion about optimization and I argued persuasively for the notion that improved optimization via technology was a predominantly good thing and I feel like the rest of my life has been an exercise in teaching me what a fucking idiot I was.
Dating tip: if you don’t want a potential partner to avoid you, don’t fucking treat dates like they’re a fucking sports game and you’re the up-all-night-eating-tape coach.

Perfect time for the World Cup to end, right as we get ready for some post season baseb…no. No. No fucking way. How many more games are people going to have t…60? Some poor schmuck is gonna try to enjoy their life some night and realize the only game they can watch, like Mets/Rockies, 60…more…times?
