Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Even more excited for this than I was for Tim Heidecker, which was already a lot 010
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think they have some real clunkers every now and then, but people telling Defector to stick to sports is really funny considering, you know, the entire origin of the site 110
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I *love* higher seeds getting to pick their opponents because it's going to be incredible when it backfires. The offseason talk radio energy after getting that call wrong will power a billion data centers. 010
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I don't know what I thought this building was despite walking by it almost daily, but I somehow never realized it was vacant. 110
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Places like that already have the public reservation book and the secret private reservation book, and you're only going to be even more screwed if you're not on the list for the latter 0150
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026There's a handful of restaurants in Philly that I'll probably never get into because reservations are so hard, but I feel like a bunch of AI agents fighting over the seats is going to make things worse, not better 11140
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026A lot of people have bet everything (like the entire U.S. economy) on this thing being worth trillions instead of mere billions, and that only works if it's *everywhere* 160
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026one day you might have a dumb nephew who needs friends who hire him after graduation 1441
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's really funny how they did once try to take the h off of Pittsburgh and everyone got so mad they put it back 0110
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Less people needing to work could be a good thing. But it's impossible to have it both ways. 000
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Even if they did miraculously become generous enough to make that work, a huge number of people working only 3 days a week or becoming the non-working half of a one income household means the economy needs massively less people working to function. That means large scale job losses! 100
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Including the song lyrics for no reason beyond they really suck is honestly a great bit 290
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 07/10/2026innocent people were up to their heads in chowder, and now we treat them like a joke 040
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 07/10/2026that's on the list right after the one-seat ride from my house to the airport 110
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm still kinda expecting Dems to fuck it up somehow (septa funding, not the election) and settle for something less ambitious than they should, but whatever they come out with will definitely be an improvement on where we're at now 010
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They already didinquirer.comSEPTA has a new, ambitious plan that offers funders a vision of better transitSelling doom hasn't worked for SEPTA, so it's pivoting to an upbeat approach in the quest for funds from Harrisburg. 220
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The Ravens watched the footage of their own offensive line, and that's enough. It's an overpay, but the current state of their centers is going to get Lamar killed and they needed to do it. 000
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Feels like a 'we're laying off any seasonal employee because there's not going to be a season next year' kinda move 1110
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And with those, I think you get way more credit for doing them in a funny way like picking based on mascots than you would by using AI to do good. No one actually cares if you do good. 070
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's a tragedy that we don't get David Letterman's confused but enthusiastic reaction to Angine de Poitrine and have Jimmy Fallon instead 2100
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026No one actually cares how good your team does, it's just an excuse to talk to coworkers about something that's not work. You're completely missing the point if you're not "fixating on team news." 130
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I do imagine this happening in a professional situation? Like the same sort of pressure to attend office happy hours even if you don't like drinking (and I guess is a lot better than the weird silicon valley sex parties). But if you're offloading it to AI, you're still not actually participating. 120
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I really do get how people feel social pressure to do stuff like this, getting left out of social shit in the office can have professional consequences, etc. ...but you're still getting left out of it if you have AI do it for you. Optimizing your lineup is not actually the point. 260
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It’s fine-ish when the talent matches the ego, the trick is learning to stand down as you decline, and I don’t that anyone has ever had as far to fall from and been worse at it 000
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026They'll just avoid direct intervention, it'll be fine. Just no direct intervention. 000
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I curse Honda almost daily for killing off the Fit, but I'm still probably driving my ten-year-old model into the ground before replacing it, so I can't really say they've lost my business because of it 140
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Jumping from "average" to "near great" is kinda wild. I have no idea where to put a bunch of presidents if those are my options. 010
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 05/10/2026All the data centers pivoting from AI to powering NextDoor just to keep up with this story 0110
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I definitely don't want to be mad either! I just want to type strings of search terms into Google without any emotion either way. 000
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'd really prefer to not have to consider my tone at all when interacting with a machine, but that's becoming increasingly difficult 100
Reposted by Kevin AThe Map Center @mapcenter.com · 05/10/2026Strategically located between the Delaware and Schuykill Rivers, Philadelphia has immense resource advantages in access to the Atlantic and the Interior. Were all human knowledge lost, we would never replicate language or culture but we would probably reinvent math, science and Philadelphia. 4446

Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I do think generally players still want them because they genuinely want to stay with the team they signed for, but I think the idea that they represent leverage for the player has been baked in from the very beginning 010
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The latter posts say the quotes in subsequent articles had never been published before. They were pulling directly from the transcript or recording of the interview, not repeating other articles. 110
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 03/10/2026He's just a big fan of Rob Thomas and they were in touch about some other stuff 010
Kevin A @kba26.bsky.social · 02/10/2026My understanding is there are modes with enemies and stuff where you have to be strategic and then free-build modes that are basically digital legos, and Tomlin does the latter. But this could be wrong. 130
