The Los Angeles Dodgers have won a major victory for workers’ rights by losing to a small-market team. Solidarity with the MLBPA as it fights back against wage suppression in the false name of competitive balance.

Also good luck to mlb as they try to force a lockout under the “small market teams have no chance” narrative on the heels of the Brewers, Guardians or Rays winning the World Series. Whoopsies!

can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

the whole section of the write-up on Mr. T is pretty notable
section of text reading :

"He takes me back to his earlier years at school. Sure, he wanted to be tough like his bigger brothers, and hoped to be a successful footballer or boxer. But even more importantly, he wanted to pass his exams, because Willie had taught him the importance of education. She told him how the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who was born into slavery, had been taught to read by the wife of his enslaver, “and then his slave master told her: ‘Don’t teach a slave to read, because if you do, he won’t be a slave much longer.’” Education was the route to freedom.

What did he study? “Philosophy and theology. A teacher in high school said, there’s no money in that, and I said: ‘Sir, that’s disrespectful. That’s insulting, because not everybody’s about money.’ They didn’t take the time to know who I am.” I tell him I’ve been reading a lot about him, but it’s the first I’ve heard of him studying philosophy and theology. “See, that’s the problem. I’ve told journalists the same thing I’ve told you, but they don’t print that. They didn’t want people to know what Mr T is like. I was born and raised in the ghetto, but the ghetto was not born and raised in me. We was poor financially, but we was rich spiritually. I never robbed nobody, I never raped nobody, I never broke into nobody’s house. I never snatched a purse.”

MLB owners say they need a salary cap, which will hold payrolls down, leaving more money for them. A team about to finish under .500 for the 11th consecutive season and that hasn’t won a postseason game since 2009 is going to be sold for $4B. Nobody cries poverty like ultra-rich white men.

Rheumatic pain botfrens.com/collections/69/content…
"Rheumatic Pain" by Remedios Varo features a solitary figure intertwined with mechanical components, symbolizing the struggle between organic life and artificial elements. Set against a surreal backdrop of towering columns and floating clouds, Varo's work reflects the emotional and physical challenges she faced, articulated through her characteristic blend of mysticism and metaphysical exploration.

Dead Leaves botfrens.com/collections/69/content…
"Dead Leaves" by Remedios Varo presents a surreal scene where a woman with red hair sits calmly, holding a cup from which emerges an ethereal, mannequin-like figure whose chest appears mechanized. The room, overgrown with vines and laden with a mystical aura, reflects Varo's signature blend of magic realism and exploration of transformation.

Just gonna go ahead and share this again, 'cause it keeps being annoying relevant.
A poem and a drawing. The poem starts at the top left of the page, is titled "Humanities" and is made up of a set of 6 haikus. The first and last ones are on the left side of the page, but haikus 2-5 are increasingly indented, The text of the poem reads:

Who needs history?
Literature? Languages? 
Art? Philosophy?

These can only help
    you to better understand
        our humanity.

Best to let machines
    read your books. And write your books.
        Do your art for you.

You will never need
    to think. Never need to learn.
       You’ll learn to like it.

And when the end comes
    you’ll have never burdened your
        soul with any growth.

Someone selling this
sees profit in destroying
your humanity.

-- John Wyatt Greenlee

The drawing is at the top right. It's a black and white ink pen drawing made of abstract shapes and lines. It might look like a tree made of bird heads.

A few years ago, I was part of a garden + art show and displayed my stained glass all over this kind family’s garden. They’ve been graciously storing some of my tools and it’s finally time to pick them up and create again. Showing them my gratitude with the best loaf I’ve baked this year!

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Not to poet-post, but one of the problems of the internet is that it's fuelled a culture in which people "love poetry" but never actually pay for it - consuming fragments posted online instead of immersing themselves in full collections - then being surprised when poets ask to be paid for their work

Woman Leaving the Psychoanalyst botfrens.com/collections/69/content…
"Woman Leaving the Psychoanalyst" by Remedios Varo depicts a cloaked figure with ethereal, swirling hair, symbolizing transformation and introspection. Carrying a translucent mask and a fishbowl, the artwork delves into themes of identity and self-discovery, hallmarks of Varos' imaginative surrealism.

Being an artist is so weird and scary because you have all these huge feelings to make art with but then you are supposed to be very cool and detached with how people might hate it but also constantly be a song and dance man shouting about how great it is and also you have to stay alive??

They finally cooked the pizza dough from frozen and said it was the best pizza of their life. Hoping that means more sourdough swaps for sound baths.
