I really enjoyed doing absolutely nothing today and eating terribly and taking a 30 min nap at 8pm. I should do this more often

Can someone find me a clip of Nelson Muntz throwing a touchdown to himself? I can’t find it
i covered one Cal football game last year and Fernando Mendoza threw and caught a TD on the same play and I thought that was fun

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

My physical therapist explained this to me awhile ago. I had a knot in my upper right back side. He said he doesn’t like dry needling in that area because of how close it is to the lungs. He was extremely careful and got the knot and it worked.
So I assume for TJ, they missed or the needle broke.

Steelers star TJ Watt is expected to play again this season following surgery on his partially collapsed lung after a dry needling treatment, sources say.
Sometimes this heals on its own. This didn't, so surgery was necessary. A scary 24 hours. But full recovery expected.

I was expecting worse but this is actually a good and nuanced perspective on generative AI and I think if everyone had this take on it, we’d all be better for it.
It’s a powerful technology. Our problem is that the nefarious people are aplenty and rampantly using it to make the world a worse place

(Here were other portions of that interview that touched on AI. I didn't really intend to touch on the topic, but it came up while we chatted. Had I thought it was going to become a big part of the interview, I would have prepared more targeted questions.)
![What makes you feel hopeful for the future of journalism?
Well, I do think that AI is. In my book, I used AI all the time. [It] never wrote a sentence, because I think that’s unethical and wrong and bad practice and it’s a crappy writer. But using it to brainstorm and edit — it’s crazy. I’d write a section on my father and I can take all my father’s diaries, upload them into Notebook LM or, with not-so-personal stuff, upload them into Claude or ChatGPT, and then ask, “Hey, here’s 50,000 words of material. I’ve synthesized it into 600 words. Is there anything in my 600 words that misrepresents what’s in these 50,000 words? [Are] there any quotes that I’ve used [that have] better versions? Is there anything that contradicts it?” It’s incredible. It’s like having an infinitely capable research assistant who isn’t as good as a New Yorker editor or an Atlantic editor, but who can give you an answer, not in 15 hours, but in 15 seconds.
If I had a really hard question — I profile five different people in the book and I had this really hard choice because I’d written six, seven, eight profiles — should I have five? Should I have six? Should I have four? Should I cut one of them? Which one should I cut? For that, I’m gonna rely on my Random House editor. You need someone who’s human.
A lot of people who are against the use of AI in general just seem to think of it only in terms of “let it write for me.” And that’s obviously not how most organizations are gonna use it.
Yeah, I mean, I think that’s kind of the fear and hatred of AI. There are two views of AI. There’s, “I haven’t really put in the time to study it and understand it, but it sucks.” And then there’s, “I’ve put lots of time into it and it’s amazing, but it scares me.” And I’m definitely in the latter camp.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreigzbzkdgspxwjo7g7luetwbjxs22x5vwcibbsjgnayjd2muqyfnri@jpeg)
