I had a fever for half of the Knicks finals, and I’ve had a fever for this Liberty series. Naturally I believe that the basketball gods have chosen me as some kind of low stakes sacrificial lamb for nyc basketball

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

@ATFulemin

I think a lot of people think the point of sports is that your team will win and then you will be happy. That is not the point of sports. The point of sports is to be sad in a group

Twitter user dawnedEUW quote tweeting a "picture" of a white dragon laying on the ground: i can't help but notice that i am seeing a lot more dragon sighting videos since the advent of generative AI.

Could it be that AI's adverse effects on the environment are leading to a change in their behavior, e.g. lack of water sources that causes them to move closer to cities?
