I'm really sad about the death of one of my favorite wikipedia editors so here's a thread of some of the greatest articles he wrote

Even with safeish picks, LeBron's parlay was a bust. So if you tailed him, you've now lost your money and you're mad at LeBron. When celebrities sell us shoes or Sprite the worst thing that can happen is we buy shoes or Sprite but LeBron James is now selling the Bankruptcy Machine

"what if the democrats become labour on trans rights" is the nightmare scenario for trans people in the united states and avoiding that is why I think we need to continue pushing back on dems who waver as hard as possible

This, from an Anthropic employee, either reflects a lack of imagination or is evidence that this is all just lies. If you were really that scared, you'd pull the plug on all the servers and wipe everything from ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC, and RIPE NCC. No more internet; problem solved.
I would burn my equity to the ground in a heartbeat for a 1% higher chance we make it out of this situation alive. I expect a great many of my colleagues across the industry would as well. 

I promise you, we are actually just fucking scared, it's not galaxy brained marketing.

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

You WANT a system where nobody is punished for paying taxes. That's why Congress protected tax return information. Then came Trump's mass deportation campaign, and ICE demanded 1.28 million addresses taken from tax returns. After firing enough lawyers at IRS, they said yes.
Until 2025, the IRS had interpreted section 6103(i)(2) “to
prohibit disclosure of a taxpayer’s address when no other
information is requested.” Centro de Trabajadores Unidos,
167 F.4th at 1226. That spring, however, “news reports
emerged that [the Department of Homeland Security] had
asked IRS to disclose addresses of some undocumented
taxpayers.” Id. It came to light that the Department of
Homeland Security had entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the IRS “to establish the
procedures and requirements for” ICE to submit putatively
“valid I[nternal] R[evenue] C[ode] § 6103(i)(2) requests for
addresses of persons subject to criminal investigation under 8
U.S.C. § 1253(a)(1)”—a statute that, among other things,
criminalizes willfully remaining in the United States beyond a
90-day grace period after a final order of removal has been
issued. DHS-ICE MOU 2 (App. 359).
With the MOU in place, ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons
sent a written request to the IRS seeking “the last known
address” for 1.28 million undocumented individuals. Lyons
Letter 1-2 (June 27, 2025) (App. 326-27); Romo Decl. ¶ 4, Ctr.
for Taxpayer Rts., 815 F. Supp. 3d 1 (D.D.C. 2025) (No. 25-
0457), Dkt. No. 66-1. Director Lyons’s letter announced that
ICE sought that information from the IRS because it “may
contain address information which is potentially at issue with
respect to investigating . . . a violation under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1253(a)(1).” Lyons Letter 1 (App. 326). On July 1, the IRS
gave its employees the “green light” to begin processing ICE’s
1.28 million requests. “Letter from ICE” Emails 1-2 (App.
440-41).

As someone who went to college in San Diego in the 90s, I was not expecting to hear Rocket from the Crypt on this week's @chartlifepod.bsky.social podcast, much less a Drive Like Jehu reference! I will never understand what makes it across the pond (although this one is, of course, a banger).

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.
