I still think $95 is expensive for a soccer jersey. $195 is absurd.

I'll be honest, I don't know who the target demo for Starfleet Academy is supposed to be other than not me; I'm tuning in for Holly Hunter, who is tremendous. But for real, who is this show for?

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

I'm not privy to every moving part in a deal like this, I'm not sure I would want another contender to get a player of Bethune's quality.
Bethune feeding Chawinga could change the earth's tilt, we could be talking about a globe-altering situation here.

And you can get it for as little as $50 a year? You're basically robbing Doyle by signing up IMO.

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.
I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

No. What people on the left need to see is journalists informing the public rather than performing press release as a service.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
