If I look like I’m doing better than you as democracy collapses, just know I’m not, but being a White Sox fan prepped me.

Higher Ed, funeral doom, pro wrestling, Midwest sad.

The fifth horse in the sixth race.
I wish The Economist stories always reflected economists. “I thought my big brain was big! Why no happen like big brain say???”
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

… born on gamera day ☹️🐢
HAPPY GAMERA DAY! 60th anniversary!!! The first Gamera movie, directed by Noriaki Yuasa, came out on this day in 1965.

When they were called learning analytics instead of AI, no one bothered to ask students if they wanted it. Now that everything is AI, students might love ChatGPT to cheat (or however they justify using it) but admins thinking they want AI in their ed support systems are going to waste a lot of money

I listened to my copy of A Love Supreme yesterday for the first time in months so today’s been weird.

It hasn’t sold out somehow, but I can’t recommend this pressing enough if you can swing it. store.acousticsounds.com/d/175752/Joh...

Go buy/stream/whatever the Buena Vista Social Club album. The one from 1997. This was a wild moment for me with a nearly thirty year build up to brain glitch on.

Weird days off where the kid is at daycare and I’m like “maybe I can eventually handle being retired.”

1. I hope so
2. But Idk
3. I’m curious how long until they realize ChatGPT is giving them currency in the wrong economy. Like will they pay to cheat through college because it helps to some degree of success and then realize it didn’t translate to knowledge or skill and fail out of the workplace?
No one is going to pay for this shite. The amount of users will absolutely plummet once it's not a free gimmick. Can't happen soon enough imho.
Exclusive: OpenAI has projected 220 million people will be paying for a basic ChatGPT subscription by 2030 as it follows Slack’s and Spotify’s business playbook.

Some days I can’t shake obsessive thoughts and do things like refreshing the page hoping for Trump Mobile updates from @404media.co

If you’re not going to put Rogue One as number one, after the original three is a decent spot.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

I think this should be a bigger story. I am in zero marginalized groups and only via my daughter on the edge of a social vulnerability, and the promise of a secure, safe space is so appealing to even this bag of privilege that this kind of violation is maddening.

I don't think I can tell you the coolest useless parts I know, but some dumb stuff:
- the best comment/bug report we got on Saints Row 1 was a complaint that there weren't bad dogs to kill (ended up being a feature, I'd argue)
- That Guillermo del Toro/Volition game would've been cool.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Chief Keef, Waka Flocka/Lex Luger, without Death Grips Kanye wouldn't have made Yeezy. clipping. carried more weight than they'll get credit for.

Outside of rap/hip-hop, it's weird that Waxahatchee took this long to get this much credit despite acclaim. Robyn/Royksopp's Body Talk.
Who is a musical artist in the last 15 years who has undoubtedly influenced music today but isn’t talked about nearly enough?

I was asked this and my answer was Chief Keef. Drill music is popularly globally, and Chief Keef was a key artist to take it mainstream.

Funny how his shit head court can universally be like "the previous courts got it wrong" but won't take even a second to think "oh fuck, maybe we got it wrong?" and just keep digging that hole to hell.
i don’t think it is appreciated enough how much roberts has right-wing legal theoried himself into being a dumbass
