I own a bookstore in Bristol, UK. Mostly here for the sports, though.

It wasn’t good, but after the first 2.5 quarters the weather gods decided we needed something different and I don’t fault them for trying

Falling in love with a team is one of the great joys in sports fandom. Having the players say “no, this group really is that special” makes it even better.

Today I realised that the NFL's Peter Schrager was featured in the final Free Darko blog post?!

It’s tedious, and ironically this summation comes via AI Overview, but I did this and it makes a big difference. Basically brings back the “10 blue links” version of Google.

Everyone is dunking on this in the context of the moment, but: yes, I genuinely would like my candidates to be well-liked, humble, and highly disciplined. That’s most of the job!

Very well explained, thanks Keith. There’s also a small typo in the second paragraph.

Asked ChatGPT to find local dog walking services in Bristol, England. It came back with a language school three times, a car dealer, and a dog borrowing platform. The car dealership is on the German / Austria border. 🤦

I do not care for Sam Altman, but his 2nd paragraph is spot on. Sadly, his company runs in direct opposition to it. Quite the cognitive dissonance this man must have. From: stratechery.com/2025/an-inte...
Question: Final question is on behalf of my daughter, she is graduating from high school this year. What career advice do you have for a graduating senior from high school?

Sam Altman: The obvious tactical thing is just get really good at using Al tools. Like when I was graduating as a senior from high school, the obvious tactical thing was get really good at coding. And this is the new version of that.
The more general one is I think people can cultivate resilience and adaptability and also things like figuring out what other people want and how to be useful for people. And I would go practice that. Like whatever you study, the details of it maybe don't matter that much. Maybe they never did. It's like the valuable thing I learned in school is the meta ability to learn, not any specific thing I learned. And so whatever specific thing you're going to learn, like learn these general skills that seem like they're going to be important as the world goes through this transition.
