There were almost 100K polling places in the United States during the 2024 general. So 1K is not that many. That makes these efforts both troubling and underwhelming.

Just put in my sabbatical proposal about the incorporation of AI into sports journalism/sports media. Guess I'm on the enemies list.

The president is fully isolated from public opinion and people will die because of it.

I have seen this ad in Wisconsin because they are buying ads on the national feed of Ohio State football games.

Campaigns get lowest unit rates (if they remember to ask for them). PACs do not. For the sake of the journalists in Austin, I hope this all spending is reflected in the drink offerings at their holiday parties.

Given that often accusations are confessions, I wonder if many journalists have done FOILs for the routine election audits from 2024 in swing-state rural counties.

I figured one of the only places that high oil prices would be a little popular is Texas because that's income there, especially in the western part of the state.

The fact that this "no cis, just... woman" hat actually works better for trans women is such a self-own. TERFs are not bright lol

For @us.theguardian.com, I spoke to Native WNBA fans about the loss of the Connecticut Sun. “For a tribe that fought long and hard to be granted tribal sovereignty, the [sale] decision being taken out of their hands can feel like a violation of that sovereignty.”

‘I will not be moving on’: sale of WNBA’s Connecticut Sun leaves Native fans facing cultural loss

The Mohegan Tribe made the Sun the first Native-owned franchise in pro sports. Fans say the team’s move echoes centuries of erasure and displacement

This is to say, I don't really know what automating this does if your goal is to get people to come to your site to form parasocial relationships with your athletes and look at sponsor ads.

Game recaps I get, AP already does that. Media Guide Bios I sort of get, although the inputs are not as systemitized as they maybe seem. I don't know how an AI writes feature stories without someone doing the initial legwork.

No one should ever assume that society or politics are moving toward perfection or that wins are permanent. Every day we are building tomorrow. That requires affirmative steps not a belief in natural processes.

If every quarterback you face seems to be just throwing dimes all over the field like they have never have before, maybe that's a you problem. Just thinking about this for the Detroit Lions.

No matter how bleak things may seem, just remember that in the 1960s the US Coast Guard received reems of earnest letters begging them to save those poor castaways on Gilligan's Island.
