If I could wave a wand over sports fans and change one thing about their day to day habits… well this might not be it. But I still want to do it: Everyone, everyone, EVERYONE, stop calling ballparks and stadia by corporate names! Form consensuses around names that make you proud of the place!

You're allowed to say "please" and "thank you" in the supercilious/exhausted pan-Euro voice of a tennis chair umpire around the house while the US Open is happening. Do not let your spouse tell you any different.

Classic post here but "burrito bowl in the bag sideways" is a very pleasant phrase to the ear to me.

It's so funny that a SpaceX rocket crashed into the moon. It's so easy to not crash things into the moon. Almost nothing ever does that. This is Rube Goldberg-level goofball precision.

cuts against what democracy is. The voters wanted El-Sayed, El-Sayed is the candidate. He's he kind of candidate I like, too, so I'm happy, but it's just not worth getting into. It was up to the people of Michigan to decide who to run and they did it.

I think the Michigan primary does show that both candidates are kind of weak relative to what you would expect, Stevens because she's so strange and El-Sayed in part because of so much Islamophobia. But, for me, I don't do debates about electability because the NOTION of doing something about it

Dwigt Rortugal
Tim Sandaele
Karl Dandleton

one underrated aspect of this famous meme of names is not just that the company did not have an MLB license so could not use actual players but that most of the names are actually just modifications of actual baseball and hockey players of the time

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

When I assign analysis, I am not trying to extract a polished product; I am trying to put the student’s mind through resistance in order to make it stronger. Offloading the struggle to a chatbot does not “free students up for higher-order work.” It deprives them of building the strength to do any substantial cognitive work at all.

What's the best obviously scammy shitcoin for me to buy to show my support for Spencer Pratt at this difficult moment? Is there a site where I can buy an item endorsed by him at like 175 percent of its regular price that I never actually receive?

Stylistic differences aside of course, "Shaq in Orlando" is the best analogy I've heard so far for Wemby. Dominance that is only scratching the surface.
