The Brewers announcers rooting for a Cubs loss against Atlanta so we clinch the division seems short-sighted. If we’re hoping to be the 1 or 2 seed, every loss by the Braves brings that closer. The division is inevitable with the magic number at 1 after tonight’s win.

Why young people hate AI even more?

The industry is incapable of any self-reflection, but it should be obvious why this would be the case. Older gens saw Big Tech innovations that changed people's daily lives for the better and/or were at least mixed bags. Personal computers, internet, mp3 players, smart phones, etc. Someone who is 18 has seen.... what? NFT scams and crypto rug pulls. Web 3.0 hype that went nowhere. Gig economy apps that exploit workers and still charge too much for poor service. Zuckerberg's metaverse. A bunch of crap that massively enriched some billionaires without seeming to improve people's lives. Why should any young person look at big tech companies hyping GenAI—who were all pushing metaverse/crypto/etc. a few years ago—and think it would help them?

At my PD yesterday morning, the speaker‘s presentation was titled the Grass is Blue (the name of a Dolly Parton album). It was sad and somewhat eerie to learn in the afternoon that Dolly had passed.

To those who are aghast that I would suggest the Brewers need to go outside the organization to acquire some more power for the lineup next year, remember Kevin Bass. He was a prospect when the Brewers traded him to Houston in late 1982 to get Don Sutton who helped us make the WS. 1/2

Now that the US has kidnapped Maduro, stolen Venezuela's oil, looted its gold, and taken its uranium, there's no more coverage on poverty, human rights, the shift to a democratic system, the economy, the lifting of sanctions etc It's almost as if those aspects were only used to justify intervention

It’s been difficult watching Christian Yelich batting in the top part of the lineup when the Brewers have better options hitting 5-6 (Bauers and Vaughn). Felt it really cost the Brewers tonight.

I'd also just note that Trump always does shit like this when he has a week where it's shown he has literally 0 juice. Can't get the senate to listen on the save act, can't get his AG nominated.

The reason that Republicans are attacking immigrants is because immigrants make America wealthy and economically dynamic. Their vision for America is to turn the entire country into the South: an uneducated and impoverished backwater that a hereditary elite rules over like an aristocracy.

@danielsilvabooks.bsky.social Do you ever consider Gabriel Allon’s age while you write? As a longtime reader of your books, I am occasionally struck by someone in their now mid-70s doing the things Allon does (which is probably not what you want readers thinking about). I’m currently reading Ransom.

The Milwaukee Brewers paid Brandon Woodruff almost half a million this year per inning pitched. Ridiculously stupid qualifying offer considering his health coming into the year, especially for a team with a budget.

Actually read through the documents Trump released last night and they show basically the opposite of what he claimed. It shows that Russia aggressively sought to interfere on behalf of Trump in 2020. China explored it but thought the backlash would be too much and stayed out.

Just saw the first ad in the Wisconsin governor’s race from a PAC backing Tom Tiffany. Focused on the super important issues of statues being removed, communism, and transgender scare-mongering. Very out of touch.

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

Remember how actual, demonstrated Russian interference efforts were derided as a "hoax" by this guy? On Thursday, let's compare the evidence for 2016 interference relative to what's shown for 2020.

NEWS: Trump just posted about his latest strikes on Iran and threatened that “the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist” if the U.S. is “forced to militarily complete the job.” A reminder: the MOU specifically bars these kinds of threats.

Iran has two massive advantages: 1) Trump is desperate to stanch the economic damage the war has done and will make all kinds of insane concessions & 2) "negotiators" who are in way over their heads and bore easily. JCPOA took *two years* to finalize! We're so screwed.
