Replying to @townsusa.bsky.social
my bot uses the latitude/longitude of the town, and then makes calls to the wikimedia api based on those coordinates. Each attempt it a bit different and radiates out from the center of town. Occasionally it returns nude/weird images. Just the price of doing business.

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Trump stole hundreds of billions of dollars from us and handed it to his friends at the oil companies. We pay, they prosper. Trump take gas
Trump: While oil prices are temporarily high, our oil and gas industry is making hundreds of billions of dollars. My people said, "please don't mention that, sir."

The most maddening part of this -- which is saying something -- is that the cop who has torn his town into shreds thinks the remaining residents are cool with him because they smile at him when he walks by. Mind-numbing levels of cope. www.propublica.org/article/depo...

Reflects poorly on Volpe, reflects even worse on the team. You don't know how to shape communications with your top prospect so that he can internalize and use your data?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Anthony Volpe being unreceptive to analytics is wild to me. If you all of a sudden suck at hitting, you’d think you’d be willing to try anything to become good again.

Did Microsoft decide to hire Vivek Ramaswamy’s advertising agency?
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I think it's a failure of the team if they can't turn the analytics into something guys like this can't use. You are ostensibly adding them to the roster because you see an edge there, and it's on *you* to make it happen.
Chris Kirschner talks here about how Jazz, Grisham, and McMahon are among the Yankees players who are least receptive to analytics, which is pretty funny since the people who say the Yankees are too into analytics probably also really hate those guys

Obviously it's bad that rich people can buy pardons. But I must lol at these creeps misreading the market and offering bum-ass Alina Habba the sort of money/term that a mid MLB closer gets. You do not need to pay her like she's Pete Fairbanks. Gift cards are fine. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...
