Eff it, home run derby at this point. Each team gets to pick one batter and one person to pitch to him.

If this game is not over by the end of the 14th, the two managers should have to bare knuckle fight each other. #ALDS

It’s a material reality that right now the AI tech bubble is holding up the empire. It increasingly powers all commerce, and is central to the most invasive surveillance apparatus the world has ever seen. Predictive analytics trained on our data have allowed billionaires to track us like wildlife.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

It’s great that LeBron is starting to get those middle aged injuries in his 40’s we all get in our early 30’s because we’re out of shape. We’re going to see an injury report where he sat on the toilet wrong.

The word doctor comes from the Latin docēre, meaning “to teach.” It was first used for scholars who earned the highest degrees at universities. Medical doctors came later, once medicine became an academic discipline. Doctorate came first.

It’s okay to recognize & respect both.
