NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

FOX Sports announcers yucking it up over Metatron’s Muse getting claimed for the fifth straight race and how he’s been a great “return on investment.” Zero acknowledgement of how hard it is on a horse to change routines every damn month. Claiming is so bad for horses.

“On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that Amazon restricted reviews of the vice president’s new book to verified purchasers only, leaving the tome with just seven reviews: six five-stars and one two-star. On Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon, reviews were disabled entirely.”😂

Back in my sports writing days, one of my editors maintained that in the NBA, the score through the game pretty much doesn’t matter. It’s the last three minutes of the game that will tell the tale.
