A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

People will tell you that it is fun to be angry about sports. That it’s an outlet, and a way to let off steam. I’m telling you that sports anger isn’t a release valve. It’s a heaping shovel of coal into the furnace. If you are angry about sports, you’re probably angry about everything else.

hello im the CEO and i can’t do anything without the support of the simpering vizier that lives in the computer. in order to keep collecting an offensively meager paycheck you too must consult the vizier regularly. don’t worry he has lots of uses other than just hopefully putting you out of a job

Social media often feels like you're at a loud party talking about zebras and someone wanders up drunk going 'I couldn't help overhearing you were talking about zebras, have you seen that film' and after 8 minutes it turns out they mean The Lion King and they're thinking of hyenas.

Some people are so universally beloved that I think we shouldn’t be told when they die. Let us figure it out eventually but never receive confirmation. We should always be able to idly speculate that somehow there’s a chance they *could* still be alive

The legend Robin Lopez
Tweet from Robin Lopez that reads: Biggest issue: if you’re being drafted, people are saying “we want you around for 4 years” & I can’t imagine anybody wants Enes Kanter or Royce White around them for even 4 minutes. We’ve seen this illustrated whenever Enes is near Turkey or Royce comes close to logic/reality
Robin Lopez responding to Royce white. White says: lol join the club ROBIN … I’ll slap your big goofy ass, bitch slap you like pootie tang! I will fight over these trans rights.

Lopez responds: yes we get it you love slapping people with women’s names

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

LMFAO. Personally I feel this says less about his gardening experience (which is clearly zero) and is more telling about the obvious fact that the guy has never shopped at or eaten a tomato from a store Grocery store tomatoes are GARBAGE But he's all "look at me and how relatable I am"

I'm still buzzing. This goal is unbelievable. Maybe the most situationally important goal in I'm gonna say USA World Cup history. Also, non-soccerheads don't know, but real ones know -- it is SO HARD to score from here. Over a wall of giants, under the bar, from 19 yards? Gtfoh Malik Tillman you GEM
