Had fun at the USA-Canada game this evening but it definitely wasn’t the like the other free flowing matches this window. But that’s also how I would expect Canada to play the U.S. every time now.

what's crazy about this premise is that local businesses in minneapolis hated the ice raids, made it clear they hated the ice raids, lost a ton of money because of the ice raids, and were generally quite sympathetic to the people telling ice to get the fuck out bsky.app/profile/will...

This is a thing confirmed by research, to an extent. It’s also why ensuring content shows up in retrieval and in training data is the new battleground.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

This is kind of like the Tower of Babel- if you don’t have the same data you can’t fully coordinate. Shared systems, or potentially an API, could help, but community orgs generally lack capacity or IT resources. A little investment and coordination would go a long way.

One and the same for some time, though those running the game remain out of their depth in many aspects of this. I've covered this regularly in my Morning Star columns over the years and wrote this back in 2023.

IN SELLING itself to the highest bidders, which now happen to be sovereign states, rich monarchies and the tools of exploitative global capitalism, top-level football has entered the world of politics by default.

From the economic politics of capitalism to the geopolitics of state ownership and the increased intertwining of the two, football is part of these systems because it is now owned, directed and influenced by them.

Combine this with its own inherent political geography and power dynamics, created by various divisions, tournaments and confederations within a global structure, plus its links to society, communities, businesses and its own economy and workforce, and football is now almost a branch of political science itself.

In recent years, the sport has increasingly sold its way into the realms of other branches of politics, such as economics and international relations.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph

Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

It would be extraordinary to hear an NFL analyst say- “he’s played well the last couple of games, but he’s a creepy rapist so I’m having a tough time looking past that” that’ll never happen, so instead we get almost the opposite where people refer to his transgressions as “adversity”

Part of the post-Trump repairs to democracy must be inspectors general. What if we house them in the legislative branch, where a president cannot fire them? Courts could serve as a check.

ah yes, let's have important identity documents arrive in very clear packaging that makes it easy for thieves to distinguish and have access to vital information that they can then use to steal identities. I see no potential problems with this!

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

The NWSL has somehow avoided calling any of their teams “United” and that feels like progress (there are more than a few United in USLW) so I guess the deep cut could have been a Snohomish United game 😂

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Ask anyone who has maintained or updated any code on federal servers, the number of clearances, the number of notices and warnings you get when you log in, the PIV cards and fingerprints…. Agog and furious at what DOGE has done. Any of us would be in jail and any contracts cancelled.
