The break up of the Beatles (1970) is closer to the end of World War 1 (1918) than the present day.

I'll be there next week for just a couple of days, but will look for it if I can!

I think we're into Chance the Gardener territory here.

"Holy shit, look at me, I'm doing something that just a year or so ago I found really hard and stressful and confusing, but it's second nature now."

Generative AI deliberately removes this, entirely, from learning.

I was in North America a couple of weeks ago and saw one of those. Ye gods. It's not a one-off for something? They're really doing that? It's like watching gazelles in moving grass.

/rant over. But seriously, how are fans supposed to tune into @nba.com games if it requires consulting a calendar, local TV listings, and 3 streaming services? I've watched fewer games this season because I've run out of patience trying to figure out how to watch. It's absurd.

Sounds like the same kind of disaster as pro baseball here in Japan. Even different games of the Japan Series appeared on different channels, and it took a lot of effort to find them. Neither NPB nor any of the individual teams seem to have a comprehensive contract with any broadcaster.
