I need a good joke about that trophy. Feel free to send them my way, please and thank you.
The best I got was it looks like a haunted reliq which is good because we are a serious planet that rewards mass murderers with peace prizes.

Thank you to all who are sacrificing themselves. I would rather be doing almost anything else on this planet. Like tweeting about it instead lol
This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

This is bad, right? Should one ramp up the physical media acquisition plans? Asking for a friend.

As a professional knower, I feel obligated to watch the group draw today. But as a person who cares not to watch garbage organized by corrupt minds...
I believe I will save myself the torment. I'm sure Google, for all it's current uselessness, will provide good enough updates.

But most of all remember to reframe it as the conditions that created the room for said industry to have something to sell people. I have seen more pushback against AI art/film/etc. than against less romantic intellectual work which AI proposes to do.
So the next time someone tries to draw you into a conversation about that piece they saw on 60 Minutes or read in the NYT about how educators are coping with/ combatting/whatever students using GenAI, don’t accept that framing. Make it about the industry that is impoverishing their education.

Judging from the quotes in here, university admins are some of the least “ai literate” people in existence. No wonder they think students need to be taught how to use it.
After mass AI college-cheating freakout, many admissions offices are using it to screen student applications | Fortune
It wasn't long ago they began banning student use of it for homework or test-taking. Admissions offices are different, though.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Ha! This is an incontrovertible truth in my house.
The Raptors are halfway to a 10th straight win, and it should be said: Masai Ujiri built this, and while Bobby Webster is more than capable, the firing of Masai looks worse every day: www.thestar.com/sports/rapto...
Bruce Arthur: Masai Ujiri is smiling somewhere. These are his Raptors, and this is his answer to the doubters
The decisions that created this team were made with patience and talent acquisition in mind, and here we are.
