@MarinersMayhem @BGilli77 @MojoMariner No such thing as a logjam of starters is an interesting take when they have pitchers complaining and slamming things in the dugout because of the piggyback.

[Augustus Hellwich @a_hellwich]

@OldWillieBoy @MojoMariner We already have a logjam in the rotation, trading two for Skubal would bring us to 5 and still leave Anderson and Sloan in the wings.

What am I missing?

JUST IN: US home sellers now outnumber buyers by 630,000 — largest gap ever.

Netanyahu says it is time to end Israel’s reliance on U.S. foreign aid.

Deeply saddened by the loss of the security guard shot last night in Deep Ellum while working an extra shift. Tragedies like these are another reminder of the real dangers in the industry.

Praying for his family, his community and the larger security / law enforcement industry. We owe it to everyone in these positions to prioritize better preparation and support.

Security guard killed and five others were wounded in two separate shootings in Deep Ellum overnight

We’re helping Washington businesses strengthen their stores with off-duty cops every week, but retailers shouldn’t be left to fend for themselves.

Washington ranks #1 in the country for retail crime yet Governor Ferguson just vetoed funding for the anti-theft program.

Olympia failing the people again and again.

[FOX 13 Seattle @fox13seattle]

A key funding targeting Washington’s retail theft crisis was vetoed by Governor Ferguson this legislative session, and now one lawmaker is promising to fight that veto. https://t.co/zR31esRTIw

@xai @SpaceX @AnthropicAI @grok what is the benefit here? Seems like that Claude using the compute that Grok should have exclusive access to may not make sense.

Verifying its own outputs will dominate the headlines, but the vision upgrade getting 3X resolution will make design work so much faster.

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.

You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

This is where the off duty market steps in to fill the gaps for most businesses in the post-defund era.

When local PD staffing levels go down, response times go up. And when response times go up, business look for more preventative measures.

I would add “use AI in agentic workflows” to this as well.

There is a good portion of my team that has never touched a terminal but are shipping real deliverables with things like Cowork.

The degree to which you are awed by AI is perfectly correlated with how much you use AI to code.

@elonmusk is there anyway that we can tone down the launch from stop lights in Mad Max mode?

I always use MM on FSD for the speed SMS lane change but in the city the take off from stop lights makes everyone car sick.

[Augustus Hellwich @a_hellwich]

@AdamSchefter Too bad a lower court will strike this down almost immediately.

Hopefully it helps the conversation pick up real speed.

I think having a 5-year max with 1 transfer before having to sit for a year between transfers fixes 90% of the NIL issue.

[Augustus Hellwich @a_hellwich]

If only this would hold and not immediately get challenged by a lower court judge.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday designed to limit how long athletes can play college sports and how often they can transfer between schools.
