A moose will fuck you up very badly if it takes the mood to do so.

(Moose is also delicious in stew or chili for what it’s worth.)

Man people do NOT understand that a moose is like a thousand pounds of mean.

Getting this Giannis discourse is real monkey’s-paw-flexes stuff for being done with the Kuminga free agency “saga.”

“There has been expectation” ~ “was struck by several shots.”

It’s been my long-held belief that coaching D3 hoops translates better to the NBA than D1. I don’t think the same is true of football, but the player-coach power dynamic is closer between “ima go to the owner & get this clown fired” & “I don’t need this, lemme just go party & study to be a dentist”

You’ve made the category error of assuming it will ever actually happen.

Started with Malika’s article dropping about 30 seconds after the final buzzer of Game 6 of the 2019 ECF, that was fun.

Windy going cop-tense on this is super galling.

Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24.bsky.social · 20h

Windy:

"There has been an expectation for quite some time that Giannis' days in Milwaukee one way or another are numbered. Whether that was gonna happen this year, whether it's gonna happen potentially during this season, or whether it could happen next summer"

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

His entire career has been outpacing seemingly unreachably lofty expectations.

I had no doubt the LeBron decision was going to be an ad, and yet it still somehow came out cornier than expected.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

“Bank managers don’t think about bank fraud” is a borderline libelous statement.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Dr Oz: "We have an advantage with AI. You know why? We don't think the way fraudsters think. That's just not what our minds do. The bank managers don't think about bank fraud. They want to do loans and help businesses. Fraudsters think about fraud. So the AI can think the way a fraudster thinks."

If they were to remake PCU today, this would absolutely be one of the protest groups.

I feel like being a “bad” pro athlete should be a trove of good book/movie/TV show ideas

Imagine being so good at pitching that you make it to the major leagues and then your job is to be the guy who comes in when the game is out of reach because your team literally could not care less if you blew your elbow out
