Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Journalists keep wanting the story to be "normal working class centrist has questions," not "our country is currently dominated by stupid people in a right wing echo chamber."

"He put the Capitals as an organization in a tough spot, because how are they supposed to honor the most important player in franchise history while respecting, say, Ukrainian Americans who might be Capitals fans but are struggling with — or are flat-out furious over — their captain’s action"

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Deadheading/replacement crews on long flights isn't some secret airline industry knowledge, but here we're pretending that an airline having multiple pilots on board is evidence of "something". The rush to proclaim a conspiracy by large accounts on this website sure as hell ain't a good bellwether

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking. I know it sounds like some sorta "one of the good ones" ploy but I am genuinely taken aback when I see it because I think: I had a fairly normal socialisation as a man in the west, how did I miss this?

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said
Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison.

“If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.”

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...
