I think there’s a biiiig time correlation in our current country’s state of:

technology and convenience culture leading to lack of human interaction leading to not experiencing other cultures/demographics in your own city which in turn ramps up the divisiveness we see more and more of.

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

Absolutely brutal, man.

A Padres fan went to a concert at Petco park last night and purchased a soda. It was given to them in a “padres postseason 2025” cup, because they never used them.

I don’t watch much football but this display by the jets these past 10 minutes might be among the worst I’ve seen

a Bruce Bochy - Dave Roberts - Pat Murphy sequence of World Series winning managers would reflect poorly on the Padres if we’re being honest

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

We’ve now heard that most of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) at ED is being let go as well. The harm caused to students if these layoffs are allowed to proceed cannot be overstated. ED cannot carry out its statutorily required duties without these offices.

Peoole in this country are addicted to bias confirmation and have astonishingly poor media literacy so naturally we are barreling down a pretty dark path when AI can put out clearly fake shit and have people be like "Well it's not THAT far from being real!" Hoo boy we are in some trouble right now
