"The chatbot struggled to correctly answer questions about books . . ."

This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that the authors, and many library administrators, weren't still insistent that chatbots are something libraries should implement. 📚

Schlittler pitched so well over the past 3 months. Combination of Blue Jays' contact-oriented offense and the Yankees' suspect defense was more than he could overcome on a night that the Yankees' bats besides Judge were mostly stifled.

In just 2 postseason starts, Cam Schlittler has pitched 14.1 innings.

He's only the second pitcher in this decade to cross the 14 inning mark in back-to-back postseason starts.

Kershaw is a tragic figure only in that he could have finished his career a universally respected figure but instead chose to be a massive dingus

This is the most Postseason-Kershaw line to ever Postseason-Kershaw, and it literally might be his last boxscore.

A screenshot of Kershaw's boxscore showing he gave up 6 hits, 5 4 runs, 4 earned, 3 walks and two home runs while striking out zero in relief during the National League Division Series against the Phillies.

I’m certain someone will overpay for him next year.

As we’ve been saying since July… the Yankees won’t get far with such a leaky bullpen. (Somehow the Dodgers are squeaking by so far with their arsonists, though…?)

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Since his double off Kevin Gausman in his second AB of Game 1, Anthony Volpe is 0-for-12 with 10 strikeouts.

Ouch that bounce off Jazz… if you’re going to win in the postseason you have to get the breaks your way.

Need those ghosts to show up.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
