I’m wearing my “Everyone watches women’s sports” shirt and I have to say it attracts the absolute best people and exactly the type that I want to interact with.

Just saw a Michael Essen Ghana kit at the beer festival and you know what, I respect that.

It’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers.

An image of several gourds on a table. The gourd gourds are sitting on an orange and green plaid table runner. The gourds are several different colors, patterns sizes, and shapes, including orange, green, and yellow.

Our government is currently shutdown. Last night, I watched video of military families lined up at a food pantry because they’re missing a paycheck.

But we’re sending $20B to Argentina because some rich fucks made bad investing bets.

If you’ve bet on that, just know the truck is already on the way for your disgusting trashy ass.

some tranche of money that could go towards rebuilding all the shit they broke will instead go towards (deserved) restitution for things that could have and should have been avoided in the first place.

one of the things that is really pissing me off about everything (in addition to, yanno, everything generally) is how fucking expensive this is all going to be when all these people inevitably win the misconduct, discrimination, whatever lawsuits.

Several of the fundamental misunderstandings about human creativity / art, what has value, and what AI can’t do on display.

Creation - writing, art, music, etc - is an inherently human process. AI literally CANNOT do it.

And some of the value derives from the humanity and struggling in the making.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

do you think that is a good, bad, or neutral thing?

there is some romantic appeal of star players staying in one city for their entire career, but also, stars switching teams is fun and creates juice.

it’s been awesome having ovechkin here in DC for his entire career

That graf is wonderful and accurate.

It’s got me thinking about Calafiori’s movement, and while he definitely marauds around the pitch, he also majestically glides like a figure skater, at times.

He’s chaos and grace all rolled into one stunningly handsome package.

I’m generally in favor of more bookings for simulation, but it’s pretty wild to book a player who did, in fact, get an arm across their face and neck.

Referee indicated that the contact was with the chest and on replay, it looked higher.

If you don't hear from me in the coming days, just know I went out in true suburban dad (even though I'm not a dad) fashion - yardwork.

Manually tilling the large bare patches of soil in my backyard before I lay grass seed really has me questioning the merit of having grass in the backyard.

Holy moly, it is substantial work. Pretty sure I've got to do it if I want the grass to have a chance. The soil is so compacted.

Happy Invincibles Day!
