When I was in school we’d have posters of Shaq and Vince Carter drinking milk and now it’s like hey want to see this weird looking person who gets paid to make your uncle racist
"Drink whole milk, you'll come in 5th place" is an incredible ad campaign.

I couldn’t have been more lucky than to have Phil as my manager starting out in this biz. He’s the best of the best and I’d happily work for him again even if he hates my baseball team
Well, all things come to an end, and so, just shy of 11 years, I am no longer employed by Tom's Guide.
If you're looking for a guy who can mash sentences together real good, feel free to give me a jingle.

I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing this by now, but if you like audio about audio... I do a longform discography show with my buds @aismail.xyz and @pizzadinosaur.fineti.me over at @silentdiscographer.com and we are almost done working through R.E.M.'s entire catalogue in depth.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

I know it's in Early Access but I do feel like AC Rally was largely slept on last year.
After many rally titles which either felt pretty 'meh' to drive or looked fairly ugly in motion, Supernova practically shadowdropped this thing in a brilliant state OOTB - towering over AC Evo's current state.

I had a beautiful dream last night where I learned that there was a Secret "Good" Madden game because at some point EA had to take a year off internally for retooling to Frostbite so they contracted it out to Team Ninja one year who built it on a modified fork of the Ninja Gaiden 2 engine on 360.

it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn

Not exactly sure that this sloptastic AI-generated "diagram" of an EREV will help Toyota's customers understand what an EREV is and whether or not they want one, which is a problem because it came straight out of a survey.
