learning is never wasted. tell the people you love that you love them, because sometimes people forget. kindness is a choice that we can choose every single day. per Tyler "Kindness is the only currency that isn't imaginary please spend it with abandon!"

shoutout to everyone who was yelling about how explicitly and graphically gay Heated Rivalry is for trying your best but we did not truly understand the message you so desperately toiled to convey. that's on us, you really did great.

This is a goddamned amazing piece of writing on Heated Rivalry and what the critics are getting wrong. It’s also a great manual on what is possible to achieve with character development during sex scenes. If you’re not a romance writer, this should be required reading.

good morning, I have noticed that some of the critical responses to the Crave show Heated Rivalry have been, let's say, incomplete

Women who enjoy media depictions of gay men lusting after each other don't need those men to be "desexed" to make them palatable. In fact, women who want to see male characters bone have a history of becoming furious when they don't. Fandoms have gone ape shit over this very issue.

“we’re just warning people about what’s coming” you are doing marketing, and the truer your marketing turns out to be the more the general public’s response to your products should in fact be fear and anger

this is such a baffling own goal

I mean, I guess it makes some sense in that they’re trying to convince business leaders that their bots are capable of replacing workers, but the overarching message from Big AI has been “AI will take all your jobs”

of course people hate that and hate you
I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

How actions indicate character:

Kit, a pitcher, ducks as she's used to line drives coming back at her

Marla, a middle infielder, plants herself to field the ball

Dottie, a catcher, catches the ball

I mean, David Zaslav should be blacklisted in both media and C-suite leadership for how he bled that company dry and killed off several popular properties while also screwing up sub-brands repeatedly, but career success and organizational performance seem to be decoupled in these digital times

I would not only tolerate this from other brands, but eagerly accept and perhaps demand it. No company that wants American business should have anything but venom in their mouths for the dirtfuckers running the incel factory trying to manufacture a million Stephen Millers.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.

$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.
SOURCES: Michigan State is firing head coach Jonathan Smith, @theathletic.com has learned.

He went 9-15 in two seasons, including 1-8 in the Big Ten this year. (ESPN first reported).

MSU players meeting called for 2:45. Smith has a $33 million buyout (with offset).
