So Tennessee has a better record than Lane Kiffin and LSU? I can take that.

It is mildly infuriating to see people who are in charge of some of the main AI platforms (& the biggest companies in the world) talk about what "we should do" as if they aren't already in control. You think AI is dangerous? Then just stop pushing it into every crevasse of your company. 🤷

You know, with everything going on in the world, it's reassuring that some things are starting to return to normal.

Halftime scoreboard:
Ole Miss - 42
Vanderbilt - 3

With the Dream and the Valkyries both winning last night, we're now guaranteed WNBA history in the next few days. One of two things will happen: 1) Either LV or NY will come back & win after being down 0-2 in a best of 5, or 2) Either the Dream or Valkyries will win their first title. #WNBA

The Dream hold on to beat the Liberty, 101-98, in OT behind six players in double figures and huge nights from Jordin Canada and Angel Reese. The Dream are one win away from making the Finals. Teams with a 2-0 lead in a best-of-five series have a series record of 19-0 in WNBA playoff history.

Not quite the same, but I got Red Dead Redemption 2 to 97% and then quit with one achievement left. It was so good I didn't want it to end, so in a way it never did for me.

People keep saying "this is not a normal 8 seed". Well yeah, because for years we had 8 out of 12 teams making the playoffs. 2/3 down the table, still in the postseason. Now it's 8 of 15, so you need to be middle of the pack to make it. Big difference even before considering anything else. #WNBA

This is obviously great for Olivia, and she absolutely deserves it. Having said that, the random Hereford bull painting behind her is cracking me up. No one else will care, but since that's the breed of cattle my family raises, I immediately spotted it. 🤣

It’s something that comes up a LOT in sports. Black players are more likely to be categorized as aggressive, and multiple studies across multiple sports in multiple decades show that Black players are more likely to get called for fouls.

So apparently the playoffs start Saturday instead of Sunday? The @wnba.com app did show all the games on Sunday previously, but when I went to check just now to see if they had matchups decided yet, this is what I see. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Exactly. We could have easily had both. Give Houston an expansion team and let the Sun move to Boston. I will never understand why Cathy did it this way, and if I was a fan of the Sun, I would not forgive the league for letting this happen. Just a complete unforced error.

Just saw a guy wearing a shirt that says "Always lead. Never follow." That's the dumbest saying. So this guy will never follow someone somewhere new. He will never follow instructions to do anything. He will basically never learn something new except for by trail and error.

Raise your hand if today feels like the 25th anniversary of the day your childhood totally ended. It’s just a strange anniversary. Personally, I was a college student in DC who decided that day I would join the military and volunteer to go to war.

On one hand, I totally agree with them. On the other, once the game is over, there's no real precedence for overturning a win short of vacating it as punishment for rules violations. On the other, other hand Western Michigan should just change the result on their website to show they're serious.

there's nothing wrong with having grown up with and loved the series as a kid. you can even still have good memories and feelings about your experiences with it. but as an adult, you have a responsibility to your fellow humans and the agency to stop supporting someone attacking vulnerable people

I've argued with people who say they separate the art from the artist (not possible while she's using actively her money to hurt the trans community). or that they don't like "not being allowed" to watch something. but I think this really comes down to what you want to stand for

I've always considered myself VERY lucky that while I've dealt with depression my whole life, I've never really had to worry about suicidal ideation. Having said that, some of my worst periods of life were made better by seeing like-minded people simply exist, & that mostly happened on social media.
