I’m truly honored to share that my boy Charlie is now a selectable media personality in @mlblockout2027.bsky.social
I cannot begin to express my gratitude to @mlblockout2027.bsky.social for this monumentally kind gesture. It fills my heart so deeply.
Play the game! It’s a blast. Charlie forever!
I think you can cut through a lot of this oblique and detached commentary on “AI rights” by simply asking,
who stands to gain from this framing?
who stands to lose?
A rising tide may lift all boats, but why only focus on the boats … convenient, tho

The more I reflect on the 25th anniversary of 9/11…
The racism being whitewashed isn’t surprising. Disappointing. Not surprising.
I was a suburban white kid in a town that built missiles. There was straight up fear. For a long time.
The narrative that everyone was holding hands in solidarity? BS.
People don't understand how bad the job situation is right now unless they go through it or try to make a a referral in their company. UGH. I don't want to make people panic, but things are very scary right now.
I will never forget that packed opening night screening of 300, about 15 mins in when @cira.bsky.social leaned over and asked, regarding a particularly angular shadow: “is that a Transformer?” neither of us could stop laughing for the rest of the film and everyone else wanted to kill us.

NEW Economist/YouGov Aug 28-31: Canada

New @fangraphs.com: Position players pitching is far from the game's biggest problem, but nonetheless, with teams deploying the tactic more frequently than ever, it's time for MLB to revist the rules governing such usage.
One of the worst things to have happened in the Great Layoffs is how people just don’t respond at all, which is probably because they’re overwhelmed or checked out. I’ve been apprehensive to talk about this bc I’d been assuming many folks weren’t “doing things right”… but no, it’s awful out here
I try to reach out to people on LinkedIn, I even pay for InMail credits, I send emails directly to hiring managers and HR staff… this has always worked before. Something has changed substantially… I suppose it’s the proliferation of LLMs
Baseball really used to be like, ok, 40-year-old Frank Tanana has to bat now that he's in the NL, with only 1 Major League Baseball PA prior to that... and he had a .155 BA that year, his retirement year
In those 9 hits in 1993, he had one double, one triple, 5 RBIs and also managed to get 2 BBs!
Some relevant facts:
1. The White House FY 2027 budget proposal included a 43% cut to the NSF GRFP budget, so they have made it clear that prioritizing the development of America's next generation of scientific talent is not their priority.

Haven’t been posting much on here, have been trying to find work/gigs since most recent round of layoffs. Things are not the best.
I don’t want to cause anyone any additional anxiety, but it is BAD out there. Tons of scams and bait and switches. If you lose your job, you need to start applying FAST
