AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

you'll never understand John Mateer's game. 9-D chess. Esperanto playcalling. Football zaza that will leave you reading Sanskrit in the LED flickers. Idi Amin playmaking. He sent his game tape to Criterion and they filed it under Classic Italian Vampire Erotica. He stole a car and it thanked him.

Nick Sirianni (.701) is now one of only five head coaches in NFL history with a .700-plus career winning percentage (minimum 50 games coached), joining Guy Chamberlin, John Madden, Vince Lombardi, and George Allen. The other four are Hall of Famers.

Watching tech people tremble before the awesome power of AI feels like when an actor is “attacked” by a wild animal in a movie but they are just holding a raccoon pelt to their neck and pretending to wrestle with it

A buncha dudes who think gas station sandwiches are an identity have found this post and they aren’t happy. That’s fine, I guess this is what you do when you don’t live in a real city.

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

This is extremely dumb but the memes that come out of it will probably be hilarious.

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.

The tragedy here — and it might doom the Eagles in the postseason — is that I’m sure Sirianni thinks he won because he played it smart. That’s 180 degrees from the truth.

My position is the Eagles clearly have enough talent to win a Super Bowl, the quarterback specifically is more than good enough, and they would be at least a top 2 contender leaguewide to do so if they had just league-average coaching on offense. They do not have league-average coaching on offense

The entire American experiment is based primarily on the mindless pursuit of wealth resulting in a culture of artifice where unremarkable people who were born or lucked into extreme privilege are treated like kings by armies of sycophants all rushing to the same trough?

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
