I know we're all tired of hearing about the Clancy case - but all I have to say on it is that this dude being a dick is so representative of where we've degenerated to in society... in more ways than one. Textbook cut off his nose to spite his face. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

"death-to-issues because prompts" is the dumbest shit I've heard this year in the AI space. What linear.app got wrong in their new direction is that agentic is fundamentally about handoff linear.app/next If you cant curate the tasks, timeline and priorities no AI integration is ever going to work.

I didn't like my first experience trying to use Linear and I'm not liking my second experience either. Linear clearly understands project management about as well as Coda (I'm sorry "SuperHuman") understands knowledge management - which is to say not-at-all.

Next linear.app question: the navigation is significantly worse than JIRA ... which is obviously very hard to do. And unlike JIRA, it doesn't seem to be configurable at all. What settings have I missed?

Fans of linear.app, is everyone paying for Enterprise just to get access to basic organizational primitives?

Given eslint doesn’t look like it’ll be able to support TS7 for years, what are folks planning to use in the meantime? Subset of pseudo-type-aware lints from oxlint or biome?

Kuminga is not good and NBA teams know this, which is how he falls all the way down to 6M/yr. I’ll be unsurprised if he falls out of the league in a few years. But he’s also better than 6M, and he really needs to fire his agent if he wants a real shot at a decent contract.

One of the reasons I’m convinced the earth is dying faster than any of us care to admit - I spend a lot of time in dirt. I can’t remember the last time I saw a worm. As a kid all I had to do was dig a quarter inch or pick up some leaves and the worms were everywhere.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Anyone else have an outdoor weather station from IQAir/AirVisual? I've been noticing the publicaly reported data from mine is wildly different from the internally reported data (and the internally reported data matches reality). Often it showing >20F lower than reality.

Baseball needs relegation and the A’s should’ve been relegated years ago.

The As lost to the Nationals 23-4. Yes you read that right. Yes the baseball teams.

Lakers are the only team that want Kuminga and don't even have a path to offer him 10M, which is at least twice what he's worth (if you're even willing to take the chance on him). Meanwhile Kuminga wants 25M. That right there is why he's never been close to being a starter let alone a star.

There was literally no better landing spot for JK than Atlanta and he couldn’t make it to the next season there… Anyone with actual ball knowledge watching the Warriors knew this would be the outcome. He’s a chance you take for 2M, not 20-30 or the worse the 60 he thinks he’s worth.

I called the Knicks for the championship and I still expect them to pull this out. But I also have been loving the Spurs and I’m excited that the Knicks lost in front of Trump and that we will get at least a game 5. I need a game 7.

There’s no greater proof needed that Republicans have no interest in fair elections with a clear paper trail and no fraud than their inability to understand that California is the one state that actually has these things - and that because we have them it takes a while to count and verify the vote.

People seem to think Wemby threw an elbow intentionally. I don't. I think people are forgetting that he's nearly half a foot taller than even most super-tall bigs. He literally just put his arm out for spacing at below shoulder height, something every player does when driving dozens of times a game.

In the immortal words of Josh Hart, analytics are like a lamppost to a drunk man. Unfortunately for Harden he’s not only drunk, he’s so high the lamppost looked like a ref so he flopped.

Donovan Mitchell signaling for a review after pulling Bridges out of the air by his arm is a strong signal this is over for the Cavs from the start. Like dude - if they review that you get a flagrant.

I always felt Mike Brown was the coach that got away for the Warriors. Have wanted him back to replace Kerr. Excited for his success with the Knicks even if it means the reunion chance is now zero.

The officiating crew tonight for OKC is one of my least favorite because they are always clearly running an agenda: and tonight the agenda seems to be that you can maul anyone on the spurs for free but even mild contact will be called on the other end.

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 20/05/2026

Is this an all time meltdown by the Cavs? To be up 22 with 7min to play to losing by 11? Has there ever been a bigger meltdown? Will Harden ever recover from this?

Chris Thoburn @runspired.com · 20/05/2026

For the record I posted this when the Cavs were up 13, about to be up 20, and the Knicks hadn’t realized they could just attack his lazy ass. If I can see this, multiple coaches should be fired.

That was absolutely a flagrant 1 by SGA. By definition out of control acts are flagrant 1. Saying it’s not based on the technicality of a different foul already having been committed is ridiculous.

Remember when the Warriors took the soul out of OKC and Durant left for the Warriors the next year? Remember how defeated OKC seemed in the last 2 minutes of that game? Resigned to their fate, unwilling to continue to fight? Yeah... So um.. If ANT Man were a free-agent he'D be a Spur next year.
