The Illinois State Redbirds are headed to the NIT Semifinals after taking down the Dayton Flyers on the road 61-55! Johnny Kinziger led the team with 16 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists as Chase Walker followed up with 13 points and 10 rebounds. The MVC is still alive!

“We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories.” The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said it will use AI to ‘write’ its articles. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/10...

The answer is a rewrite experiment, backed by AI. We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories. The role will require an evolving expertise in prompt writing for an AI chatbot, to get the quality stories you might want to read. This is not a one-and-done kind of thing. We envision the rewrite specialist tweaking the stories a good bit with additional prompts for refinements. I see this as a writing role.

Did you lose your safety? Guaranteed by the roots of your family tree Soil so fertile, centuries decomposing Fruits of the labor and pain of ebony bodies Couldn’t be me… couldn’t be me… given the current state of things, I’d like to talk about the this track in particular

My current working theory is that the only way out of this monstrous timeline we’ve been on since 2016 is for the Cubs to win another World Series. I’d like to refer to this as the Ben Zobrist Parallax.
