We need to presume that all data ever created is potentially in Palantir's mega-database. When history is written, the first and best use of AI will have been surveillance.

As I was listening to it I knew heads were exploding. You have a right to be enraged.

Honestly, it just makes it better because they hate it so much when we dead-name their stupid changes.

Rickroll them, they'll leave us alone forever.

I gave mine to my daughter. She and her pals have a ball goofing around with Kermit.

He's still got the CarShield dough. Him and Schilling.

I've posted this before (including J6) and always been disappointed. This time?

Proved himself in the crucible. He belongs.

I own a pinball machine but am pragmatic about it.

The metaproblem is that, the way the web works today, the party at the other end of the wire always gets to determine what you can see or do, even with your own data. *Always.*

TBF she got me too, the little gravely-voiced minx. But I've moved on.

My mother-in-law celebrating her birthday in 1963 with family including two young daughters. The next day she was dead from polio. GTFOH with vaccine denialism.

Framingham Lou also said Abreu is "gonna win his third Cy Young" after that catch in the 7th. It happens but should be the exception not the rule.

Come on, he was just helping it over the fence.

Good observation but I always root for the player who the pitcher walked the prior batter intentionally to get to. That's a chance for personal revenge!

In Boston we still love Johnny because Johnny Pesky.

You could definitely see him hurt it on that swing. The announcers didn't mention it but I was watching with my sons and we agreed it was not good.

Have always considered this the best commercial of all time. The guy in the bad seats reading a newspaper...

My dog is an insane mutt if this DNA analysis is accurate. He's one of a kind for sure!

Holy crap I just realized why Mickey Gasper seems so familiar... Brian Daubach! ...finished fourth in the American League in Rookie of the Year voting after slugging 21 home runs and slashing .294/.360/.562. www.overthemonster.com/2020/3/21/21...

Revisiting Brian Daubach’s brief, but occasionally brilliant, run with the Red Sox

Daubach had heroic moments in Boston, but how does his resume look now?

Ick, gross, that sucks. Always been a fan of Predictably Irrational because it explains a lot. Now you doubt that research too.

Someone once said LLMs vibe like a golden retriever and now I can't unsee it.

I have a wasp that attacks my doorbell cam. Got these alerts multiple times this week.

Who is this new dude? Where did he come from? He could turn out almost as good as Mickey Gasper.

Language is a living, changing thing, so I stop myself when I'm tempted to correct someone. You want to see everyone feel free to express themselves. That said, it makes me twitch every time someone puts the extra "e" in judgment. 😎

He's gotten better. I still prefer Framingham Lou who's improved a lot. Papelbon doesn't work IMHO; seems every observation refers to himself. (FWIW I wasn't a big Remy fan for a long time because he used every opportunity to sell something -- his blogs, scorecards, etc. Got much better later.)

Steinbeck was an absolute stone-cold genius. His prose is the most beautiful I have ever read.

I do wish he wasn't an octogenarian, but Markey has been a solid Senator, especially on tech issues. And Moulton has too much of that toxic masculinity vibe. You wonder if he'd drift right once in office like you-know-who. I voted Markey.

Mine is "everything's jake" like Robert Redford in The Sting.
