Last night was baseball's "field of dreams" game, an homage to a movie revolving around men banned for life from baseball for match-fixing on behalf of gambling syndicates, brought to you by *checks notes* the gambling company Fanduel. Why DO people think Americans don't understand irony? :)

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:
connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.
every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Hogwash. ~10k of the 13k families in Peachtree City, GA own a golf cart that maxes out at ~15 mph. (New ones cost $10k+.) And Peachtree City is a suburb, not a retirement community or college town. Americans will absolutely buy small, fun vehicles if they have safe places to use them.

The Electric Vehicle That Suburbia Needs Could Be a Golf Cart
In the Atlanta suburb of Peachtree City, teens and older people alike rely on little electric vehicles to get around. Is this a potential model for a more sustainable suburbia?

Most folks don't realize how central events like J6 were to the Jim Crow state. Dozens of unprosecuted coups & massacres—actively encouraged by those in power—revived the fundamental logic of the pre-emancipation state: that Black Americans had "no rights which the white man was bound to respect."

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Been walking by this for at least 15 years and you can still make it out. To put it in perspective, U.S. Sen. Paul Tsongas (D-Mass) ran for the Democratic Presidential nomination in *1992* (he finished 3rd, BTW). He died in 1997! #Hoboken

Sat down amid some knowing glances & nods, caught my breath and thought: "Could be a good sign for today." It was.
