Is you’re still in Lisbon go to Essencial in Bairro Alto

Beginning to understand why they thought it made sense to have Dany torch King’s Landing.

The Culver’s dual-lane drive-thru is a simple zipper merge. Follow the principles of the zipper and everything works great. You do not get your food faster if you skip the zip and sneak ahead of the guy from the other lane.

I’m skeptical of AI as a quality content generation machine, but if you’re going to write the same article with the same charts every year, GameHasChangedGPT might actually work for you.

He couldn’t decide whether he wanted to hit him with the Styles Clash or a Mexican Destroyer so he split the difference.

GW would be an interesting case study in offline enshittification.

Anchorage Man @sethpartnow.bsky.social · 23h

Thread intersecting several of my nerdy interests. Back in my WH40k days I was not averse to “proxying” via 3rd party minis, but mostly in cases where GW hadn’t produced models for legal/official units yet.

Everyone knew what was going on and that “Interstellar Naval Trooper” meant “Space Marine.”

OK, so here's why this probably isn't "legal bullshit."* And also a quick reminder that not all law is American law, and the law where you live and do business matters.

*I'm not going to opine on whether GW *should* take action; this is about their legal claims.

So GW are pulling their legal bullshit with a creator on some immensely spurious grounds.

They are arguing that even not similar models are unfair competition because they're compatible with their games...

When you are definitely familiar with what David Simon has said or thought about anything ever.

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 2d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Would you describe the legal setback as being just…a minor one?

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

Post Betts trade, my only remaining interest in baseball is the Yankees not winning, so another successful season in the books.

When you can make an arena feel like a rainy night at the Kingston Mines circa late 90s.

Counterpoint, many of these guys (Vought, Bove to name two) look 20ish years older than they are, so maybe his youthful appearance means he’s just a rube not an actual sociopath.

Anchorage Man @sethpartnow.bsky.social · 2d

Want.

Anchorage Man @sethpartnow.bsky.social · 2d

There must be some sort of protocols people are working from.

Anchorage Man @sethpartnow.bsky.social · 2d

I would literally not have a career in sports without it.

A moose will fuck you up very badly if it takes the mood to do so.

(Moose is also delicious in stew or chili for what it’s worth.)

Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 3d

Man people do NOT understand that a moose is like a thousand pounds of mean.

Getting this Giannis discourse is real monkey’s-paw-flexes stuff for being done with the Kuminga free agency “saga.”
