How is it that the company that effectively invented both modern search AND modern AI is now managing to grievously fuck up BOTH of them? I mean, my affection for @matthewsanabria.dev aside, this is just COMICALLY bad.

Raimondi Park was electric tonight as the @oaklandballers.bsky.social beat Idaho Falls to send the Pioneer League Championship to game 4! If you are anywhere near the East Bay and you have a baseball bone in your body, you want to be at Raimondi tomorrow night!
