Also, just to make you mad some more: Los Angeles Lakers. Utah Jazz.

There’s a plausible alternate timeline where the Phillies (not the Athletics) moved away from Philadelphia. In that timeline, do the Phillies keep their name? As it is “Athletics” is one of the most portable names.

Taco Bell has something called "Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch" sauce, which seems like a contradiction. The whole point of ranch is that it's bland!

Oh huh Cleveland has the same chant and they even renamed the team!

Except the AI-pilled ones are current parents of small children and the no-contact-should-be-illegal ones are current grandparents of small children. But the former will grow up into the latter.

I work for AT&T. We try really hard to not have to talk to our customers.

Shut up about the three-peat

No, they’re named for Al Gore

Seems fair, we invented phones. (Bell was a Canadian working in America, so we share with them.)

I would not have expected that, but I guess there aren’t all that many names beginning with I

In the US everything is pretty much at multiples of 25F; 25C seems a bit coarse?

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

They don’t look at it. They only know how to write, not how to read.

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

We live near a place called Cumberland and my kid is convinced it’s Cucumber Land

I am from Philadelphia, and it's East Coast. (Pennsylvania is not East Coast.)

So sometimes the probabilities are brought to us by "AI" companies and sometimes they're brought to us by prediction markets. The future is strange.

OK but how does wine beer taste? (I realize it would depend very heavily on what kind of wine and what kind of beer.)

Ben Franklin had a son named Francis, who died of smallpox; famously Ben had intended to vaccinate him but hadn’t gotten to it yet, and he became an advocate for vaccination

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

Oaks are like that too. Acorn season sucks because the acorns fall on the roof and make noise. Sometimes they fall on your head.

We were meant to just have a little Internet, as a treat.

People have been talking about their dumb combs for a long time

I don’t understand why Facebook or trying to sell you something that clearly doesn’t exist

Thank you for this one. My sportsball team was eliminated last night, I was there, and I needed something for the drive home that wasn’t the radio broadcast saying “how did they lose?”

Have they considered just using I?

On my way to the baseball. Enemy territory. Ticket was affordable because the enemy doesn’t care.

The October surprise is that a playoff baseball team is eliminated and it’a not October yet.
