If a school paid me $50 million to not coach I would devote at least $1 million of that to various petty stunts like having a plane fly over the stadium and dump fake dollar bills with a picture of my face on the crowd

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Playoff hockey is like a firing squad. Playoff baseball is like lethal injection but they can’t get the dosage right

Just saw an IG reel (foobooz) from today’s Scrapple carving contest at Reading Terminal Market. I think you all need to see it too.
