The eyeball test is that they had one of their best hitters give himself up setting up an obvious mismatch. Did not look good to the eyeball!

Another way Fox ruins baseball broadcasts is all the extra ad time. A game this well pitched would be over by now in the season

*Look, science fiction was invented in the 1920s, while libraries have been burning-down ever since Sumeria *However, Artificial Intelligences getting burned down by remotely-targeted robot missiles, that's an exciting new trend *Is this situation some fantasist's "anxiety," no it isn't

Now the DJ, who is saying Charlie "Roose" and implying the Town Hall concert was somehow discovered in 1963 (???) is playing a 33-1/3 LP at 45rpm. Beyond anything I could imagine that WKCR has enshittified itself.

Governing and social systems strive to keep our fascinations with power and death in check, but now our rulers openly lust for power and death, and acquiescent media, centrists, Dems are moths buzzing around the light of both

Think culturally not politically and it’s all right there. Fascism is barbarism with modern technology. Futurist painters were modernists but Marinetti was a dressed up barbarian. Romanticism and goth never fully pull away that’s part of the allure

George Grella @gtra1n.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
There’s no secret to this. Set aside political frames and see the ruling class for what it plainly is and has been in the 21st century: barbarians.

I’ve lost count of the number of times humanists not in AI have warned other humanists not in AI to ignore the worst aspects of LLMs, lest they look stupid but it is massively outpaced by the number of times people working in AI have presented the worst aspects of LLMs as the ones they like best

What's funny is that I could legit see a Skinamarink Treehouse of Horror segment. Like, the kids are stuck in the house, but the omniscient voice becomes increasingly frustrated as the kids are perfectly fine - Bart revels in the lack of parental restriction, Lisa is happy to be left alone...
