1. I, oddly, had several random run-ins with Dennis Haskins. I had a friend when I lived in LA who worked at a Karaoke bar called Dimples so I’d hang out there from time to time.

Guess I’m rooting for the Yankees in the chance they and Brewers make it to the WS so I could see it here in NY.

No matter what happens in the post-season, I’m so happy to witness this historic Brewers season.

The video of this is insane. They just leave this man laying bleeding in the street and drive off. This is a couple blocks from where my kid played soccer a few hours later.

Presumably to give the sports bar experience at home, Fox keeps broadcasting the audio from the Vikings Bears game during the Packers Jets.

My childhood video store was called Dr. Video. The proprietors chainsmoked and I’d spent hours in there staring at the forbidden R rated covers of VHS that my mom wouldn’t let me see. I rented Ghostbusters about once a month and on Fridays Id rent a SNES game and buy Warheads,

Nice to see the Milwaukee Brewers have the best record in baseball with nearly 1/3 of the salary that the Dodgers have. Throwing money at things is a very easy thing to do. Managing baseball on limited resources is a skill.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

news.com.au

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

[THE LONG GOODBYE] This picture, less accidental than BEAT THE DEVIL, is just about as funny, though quicker-witted, and dreamier, in soft, mellow color and volatile images—a reverie on the lies of old movies. It's a knockout of a movie. (1973)

This pretty much sums it up: 1/2

@alex_prompter
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

I think this is true. It’s also collective punishment, which is a war crime.

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

They showed this version in schools for maybe 15 years and literally no one in my class had any reaction to a black woman being in it, someone yesterday said Eartha Kitt was Helen of Troy in 1950 and I looked it up and it was Orson Welles who cast her because she was a cabaret dancer and was hot!

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

This is collective punishment, which violates the constitutional framework of nearly every nation on Earth, including the United States. At least, it is until the current Christian White Nationalist supermajority of the Supreme Court decide to legalise it in the face of centuries of precedent.

Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.
