What’s the opposite of the Shaq in a Celtics uniform meme? Like a guy that went to a new place when he was older and balled out.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

one of the bigger problems i have with our health care system is that we have yet to invent a simple process where all of the muscles in my back are removed and stretched out by a large machine — possibly a series of machines — while i float weightlessly in a tub of warm goo until they are ready

Unless your choice is physical knobs and buttons, of course. If you want an alternative to touchscreen tyranny you have to fix up something from 15 years ago
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

Finally got around to the first episode of Pluribus. So delightfully creepy. Vince Gilligan’s got the sauce. Rhea Seehorn being an absolute ace. Everything I wanted out of this, so pumped for more

This is wild--I profiled Faker for ESPN Mag *ten years ago* and at the time was told by everyone there's no way to stay on top in an esport past your early 20s. Dude really is the LeBron of League of Legends.
League of Legends Worlds is coming up its 15th World Championship this Sunday and South Korea’s biggest esports icon has dominated from the start.
Faker, a five-time world champion, seeks to complete a three-peat and add to his nearly indisputable GOAT case.

A fine example of "AI doesn't know anything, it just picks a statistically good fit for the next word/sentence, with no memory of the previous one." So this one forgets it's supposed to be shilling for pay-us-for-reviews and pivots HARD in another direction.
