It's a testament to the Dodgers' industry-leading depth that when one of their accomplished-but-washed chud pitchers duffs a game out of reach they actually have another accomplished-but-washed chud with even worse politics to bring in to mop it up. Most teams don't even have one guy that odious.

Baker Mayfield on changing perceptions of him: “Early on in my career it was ‘cocky, immature.’ Now it’s ‘moxie’ and ‘he’s a dog.’ Same sh— different day. As long as you play well, they change the narrative, but you’ve just gotta be yourself, and I’ve always been like that.”

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

I remember my dad talking about him when I was kid, he always liked underdog fringey Heisman candidates. Never asked him about Joe Dudek though

I can't take these folks seriously, I'm sorry. I know they have a lot of power and seeing this country backslide is so disturbing but they're all dipshits, man. I can't respect a dipshit.

I've actively avoided listening to Led Zeppelin my whole life, committed to maintaining that the rest of my days. Ditto Harry Potter (initially for troll-y reasons but now because of JK Rowling being awful).

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Joe Blong was implicated in the lesser known 1877 fixing scandal that involved St. Louis that led to the club being dropped from the NL and killed pro ball in the city for a few years. He also was on the St. Louis Unions preseason roster in 1884 but didn't join the club.

BANKS_D1.BMF

A color portrait of Dennis Banks, the longtime Native American activist and co-founder of the American Indian Movement (AIM). Banks played a crucial role in the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, which lasted 71 days. His obituaries in 2017 called him “militant.” But who was the militant, Evelyn wonders? Who was the occupier?

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you'd agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing "dna" with "bits" doesn't make it ok

i'm completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

some might say that committing battery while intoxicated and then ending up in the hospital after getting stabbed is the Butt Fumble of crimes.
