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"
The response from the Eagles today to the Jalen Hurts situation tells me that they still do not realize the degree to which they fucked up here.
Or, they don't yet realize the lengths they are going to have to go to convince people that they did not fuck up here. This wasn't it.
"Now he calls it quits, not before the season. Not in the offseason…four games into the 2026 season, a dude that has been in the league forever, sits back and says I need to focus on my mental health" – Stephen A. Smith on Lane Johnson retiring
Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
This week's podcast is mostly just me gushing about Zero Company but also

White House insiders are sounding the alarm that Trump is far more interested in building his own legacy than improving the economy or ending his war with Iran.
I really can't stress enough that my issue isn't with the look of the cards, the artists are brilliant, funny, & sick! Moreso my issue is that a grungy aesthetic is being extruded through multiple layers of marketised collectability.
Don't wait for Levis to do it for you! Rip your own jeans!
Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
There's been a lot missing in Flyers world over the past five years. More than anything else, it's lacked stakes. The idea that every game, every move, every outcome truly matters.
But we've now entered the high-stakes part of the Briere rebuild. Finally.

Also, looking like the Ducks have 3 options when it comes to signing Cutter:
1. Cutter signs for a team friendly deal <$10M AAV (unlikely but still possible)
2. Ducks move pieces to free up cap space (most likely)
3. Cutter demands a trade to a team that will pay him more (the funniest option)
Losing out on Carlsson sucks
BUT
I like that Danny is making big swings, we still have a solid core, and hopefully Toronto is just hot garbage this year.
400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket.
Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger.
By a mile.
The Flyers signed Leo Carlsson to a massive $90 million offer sheet, and you surely have questions about it.
In my 3000-word breakdown of the move, the rules, the cap implications, what comes next, & what it means for the Flyers, I have answers:

We have tendered an offer sheet to Anaheim center Leo Carlsson. The offer is a five-year contract worth an average annual value (AAV) of $18M, which would require four of the Flyers first-round draft picks in each of the next four seasons as compensation. [1/2]
