I say this as someone who purposefully watched 125+ Orioles games this year

Jason Koebler @jasonkoebler.bsky.social · 3h

same goes for dodgers yesterday - bases loaded walk after an intentional walk and a game ending error on a soft grounder to the pitcher is tense but uhh yikes

Jason Koebler @jasonkoebler.bsky.social · 3h

walk hit by pitch failed bunt fly out double play, strikeout strikeout strikeout, walk walk strikeout double play is tense baseball but it’s not “good” baseball, radio pbp guy just described the game as “pure agony” is that good

the pitching has been good and entertaining in the games I’ve watched but a lot of these don’t even feel like “pitchers duels” to me they feel like teams competing to not score

What's getting me is the 'building metaverse' part. We have to expand our dead and abandoned mall! 5X faster!

anyways we know this but tech companies are not only using AI to justify laying workers off and to justify not hiring people. they're also using it to say that their existing human workers must do the work of five humans each

Autonomy is doing very important work

Autonomy News @autonomynews.co · 1d

This story, published in July, becomes more relevant with every passing day as lawmakers and activists work to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills.

We are careening toward a not-so-distant future where abortion is just a right on paper, even in the states where it's still legal:

The Plot to Effectively Ban Abortion Nationwide Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes

Lawmakers and activists are working to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills. The end result would be catastrophic.

A data hoarder set up a searchable archive of the Epstein docs released by the House Oversight Committee. Used OCR and a self-hosted AI to analyze and categorize them.

Actually useful bc the docs were released as disorganized jpeg files in a giant Google Drive

The open source project has been mirrored as a torrent file and represents one of the easiest ways to navigate a messy data dump.
