Randomly turn on CNN and I think our boy Bill Clinton is asleep with sunglasses on sitting behind Obama at his presidential center opening.

James Dolan's charisma level is the equivalent of a reverse erection. Repulsive.

If you're new to this, this is the best the US men's national team has ever played and thats not an exaggeration. I'm in genuine shock at how crisp the touches and crosses and the organization of this team is. Super impressive.

Why does Pochettino, the US coach, dress and look like a substitute teacher about to change the hearts and minds of an inner city high school class?

Philly needs to send Elmo across the street quick to help the Flyers luck

[Destiny Lugardo @destiny_lugardo]

Where were you when Elmo saved the Phillies?

Yes, this is slop—in part because the person making seems tasteless, dull, and infatuated with the tech itself rather than narrative art—but video gen is clearly close to *commercial viability* in the right hands. Especially for kids’ content, since they’re undiscerning.

This is why I’ve been agitating for a leftist AI skeptical response bigger than “it’s slop, it sucks, it’s fake, it’s bad.” Because it has been getting vastly more capable, and is rapidly approaching the point at which *enough* people will be willing to pay for it—even if YOU don’t, even if LOTS OF US don’t—that it will entrench. Right now, we call it slop and get a lot of positive feedback and feel superior and good and like we are leading the majority.

Give it two years and people will be parking their kids in front of AI-generated children’s shows without a second thought. They’ll be getting mad at you for calling it slop, because they’ll feel impugned as parents. Other people will be getting mad because they have AI “friends,” or they’ve gotten addicted to using it at work or school to take shortcuts. It feels so good right now to shit on AI on the basis of its capabilities, but that is clearly *time-limited* and ultimately a failing strategy to contain and regulate AI. we have got to come up with something better, stronger.

Elmo and Kruk is the baseball duo we didnt know we needed

Hockey should just say fuck it and let someone wear the number 100 on their jersey since they allow the other 99 with no rhyme or reason.

Ive been doing massive spring cleaning and had a junk company come haul old mattresses and boxes and other junk, and the head guy took the nastiest smelling shit in my bathroom. I mean top 10 smell i never want to reexperience.
Luckily I had some Vanilla Ozium on hand to save me
