Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...

I really wish Diamond League was back on NBC/Peacock. Reliable coverage. Replays you could actually find. Audio and video that actually synced. The list goes on. Flotrack was not ready for this contract.

I wrote about Tennis Channel’s fixation on calling Black players “swaggy,” with a whole bunch of examples.

The Fils-Tiafoe Cincinnati final will be historic; there are better ways to talk about these players, surely.

@GeekZoneGZ 1000% agree. It’s been lackluster which is ok when the season is 12+ episodes long. But for it to be less than 10 and still struggling, I find it hard to believe Beau wrote these

UFC fighter Sean Strickland: When you're at a Trump rally, you're like 'oh, I can definitely see how Hitler happened.' It's a cult

North Africans ruled most of Spain and parts of Portugal from 711 AD to 1492 AD. Nearly 800 years. 🤔 Why don’t we make movies about that, and then everyone can stop being so tight about the “historical” accuracy of a Greek myth.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
