Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

In retrospect, it did not age well that the Flyers' reaction to watching Cole Knuble be their best forward in preseason was to send him to the AHL and then sign Garrett Wilson and Michael Bunting to NHL contracts as opposed to just giving Knuble the NHL job.

great piece. man social media is a cancer themomoftheyear.substack.com/p/im-the-mom...

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

tech ceos love to talk like it's impossible to know what the computer will do at any given time as if that's smart and powerful and amazing. the determinism was like, the best part of the computer though. removing the determinism is the opposite of smart. it's stupid

'It's good to discuss', in practice means: 'accept all of the talking points of the worst faith biggest right wing conspiracy theory dangers who would get us all killed so if or when there is another mass public health emergency the crackpots can command the discourse & its framing'

OK but imagine the teleprompter guy white-knuckling through a speech he's got a big bet down on while Trump spends 25 minutes freestyling off script

ok put duran in for the save

Everyone keeps talking about green and red like they’re different colours. They’re the same colour, what are we doing here people..

Broad Street Hockey being responsible for a Stanley Cup before the Flyers organization is one of those things that makes you very proud and also very concerned.

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

maybe the flyer fans who still pine for him in between eating big gobs of paste will shut the fuck up now

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

I.C.E. maintains a strict dress code for people seeking to visit their loved ones caged at Delaney Hall. It’s clear the strict rule is useful pretext to deny visitors entry. #ICE #DHS

make this a major again

This is sicko shit and I'm here for it.

wow. Microsoft is scrapping Copilot on Xbox, just hours after a big Xbox platform reorg. Xbox Copilot on mobile is being killed off and development of Copilot on Xbox consoles is over www.theverge.com/games/924551...

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

New terminology just dropped

MAJOR UPDATE: I found the best free restaurant bread in the United States www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I sat on that very porch and interviewed the owner for this column share.inquirer.com/KmHX4i

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

isn't it amazing what you find digging through old News Papers

got early access to DLSS 5 and personally i think it looks incredible, check this out:

As soon as like eight of them said their favorite song about America was courtesy of the red white and blue I knew we weren’t winning shit

You hate to drop game 1, but I was proud of the way our guys fought and I still like our chances. - Mark DeRosa postgame

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

DAAAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE

Zeteo ran an interview with Graham Platner today (paywalled, unfortunately) and I can't get past the fact that someone who literally recommends people watch "Come and See" as the ultimate anti-war movie is trying to pretend he never knew what a Totenkopf was.

this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever
