It is perhaps no coincidence that having my mind shaped by George Saunders's short fiction and later his writing about writing had me yelling "yes! yes! yes!" to every one of his wonderful "no! no! no!" responses to these interview questions about using AI.

I, a self-loathing Mariners fan, am shocked to learn that the one team we beat ten times isn't escaping the deeply unserious wild card phase of the MLB postseason.

The thing about Minnesota Nice is endlessly dunking even when you're on a hot mic asking an aide to confirm that Iowa is in fact the Hawkeyes.

If I were one of the world's richest tech companies I would be embarrassed to run an ad boasting that my AI figured out that baseball teams are more likely to win one run games when pitchers give up few runs, but this is why I'm not among the richest and most powerful companies in the world.

This is maybe closer to correct? (Any sane person acknowledges that the Young Pope and the New Pope are the same exceptionally great show.)

The Mariners could do a lot to alleviate concerns about the future by opening tomorrow's game by driving a dumptruck full of money onto the field to extend Randy Arozarena and ending it with Dan Wilson announcing his retirement.

Not only are Seattle's escalators perpetually broken, we are also not capable of switching the one functional one to "up" instead of "down" because all gravities matter.

Seattle's favorite large adult son Luke Raley shouting out his youth coach for teaching him to run like he hates the ground and take hits by pitch to win games is exactly why no one else stood a chance at winning the Heart and Hustle award.

I don't really think single season shows should go into this, but since they do I couldn't not include them.

The best part about this NYT list isn't that it excludes the Sporanos on a technicality, it's how it specifically calls out that only the first seasons of True Detective and Beef were any good. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Sometimes i google Ally McBeal — that 90s legal drama where all the bathrooms were unisex and nobody cared except to think it was so cosmopolitan and cool — just to make sure i didn’t make all that up.

The ChatGPT commercial during MNF about how empowering their app is for people with visual disabilities has the robot voice telling the guy he should order the nonexistent Croque Madame ("Crock Mad-em") from this menu. Slop all the way down.

Tough one today. Rangers compassionately euthanized the Mariners during their afternoon slumber, finally pulling the plug on the postseason life-support system that was the sorry state of the AL West. www.seattletimes.com/sports/marin...

Mariners’ slim playoff hopes are now gone
The Mariners have officially been eliminated from playoff contention, putting a stamp on one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history.

I now deeply regret having resisted my overwhelming impulse to interrupt Lance Oppenheim's conversation with a famous podcaster at a bar in Telluride to ask whether the scene that triggered YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING's R-rating and content warning was contractually mandated by the film's participants.

The main thing that I'm sad about as this Mariners season sputters to a close is that we're probably not going to pay Randy whatever he wants to hang around for a few more years.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.
