The original version he wrote for Frantic Elevators is really good, he improved the song a lot in the Simply Red version but the bones are there. It's a rock song for sure tho. youtu.be/0pp4-NRaJWo

Didn't know the songwriter of Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years" gave a writers credit to his buddy who didn't help write the song for all the good years. What a pal, sheesh.

Simply Red: how we made Holding Back the Years

‘When the song became a hit my mum tracked me down, but I thought: “My dad was there for me every day. You think you can just walk back into my life and it be OK?”’

still mad about the lamp posts tbh

James Franklin should show his love for the game by going to coach D3 or something. Not because he has to, but you know because it'd be a true sickos dream. Not FCS, not D2...like go ball out at Lycoming or something. #cfb

amazing

Ron Bronson @ronbronson.com · 1d

it was a good question, I haven't collected since HS either and hadn't investigated. But makes sense in this crazy card revival era, one extra card to collect & sell

Apparently, most sets have a DH card & a pitcher card for him separately.

anyone working on documentation (compiling some kind of inventory database) of use of llms within government bodies and for public service use, particularly in europe?

Shohei is so ridiculous they had to reprogram baseball video games to be able do what he does in real life. It wasn't *possible* to create a character like this before he existed. 10 strikeouts on the mound & 3 HRs in a LCS clinching game? Absurd.

That's such a vivid metaphor. I feel like the record store had better recs, but that makes sense to me. They really want you to listen to their radio & assume everyone likes pop hah

Imagine having relievers who can work out of jams. Imagine that! Feel bad for the Brewers, they're a good team. But the Dodgers are the Death Star.

The shots of Brendon Little looking as dumbfounded as everyone else about why he was asked to pitch in the most obvious high leverage situation in the game are killing me

Mariners proved they can win in Toronto, but what a wasted game by a team that could've stolen this game had they stuck with the guys who were dealing just a bit longer.

Ron Bronson @ronbronson.com · 1d

I'm glad the Jays made the series respectable, but they don't deserve to move on with this garbage bullpen. Dodgers would make quick work of this team.

This ain’t it.

Nick Turley, the head of ChatGPT, told me earlier this month that the best way to teach the world about a new technology is putting it out in the world. He said that’s what the company learned with ChatGPT, and that’s what OpenAI is finding with Sora, too. It seems the company is learning something about how to distribute this technology, as well.

not with this bullpen we won't. Sadly, no one is beating the Dodgers.

Famed garbage ass bullpen coming back to life. Let's see how bad the damage is in this 8th. Mariners needed a lifeline and they got one, thanks to our overmanaging #mlb #baseball
