Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

that major league baseball isn't called "major league baseballs" is a perpetuation of the one-baseball myth, one easily dispelled in the age of streaming. one can now simultaneously watch two games, in different cities, played with different baseballs. mlb does not use one ball and hasn't since 1997

they're going to nominate this guy for president next time huh
the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

Every review of AI is like: This isn’t very useful and it makes it harder to do simple tasks than if I just did it myself. Riddled with errors. Can’t see anyone using this. I feel stupider having tried this. That said I believe it will soon make human cognition redundant and eradicate us all.

That's a nice quote from Jacobs. But to the best of my knowledge, Gruden himself hasn't actually taken accountability for the comments in full, which is what growth actually looks like.
Gruden may or may not be a coach again but you dragging him is punching down. Raiders running back Josh Jacobs said "I've been around this guy for 3 years. I've never felt a certain type of way about him. He's never rubbed me a certain way. I definitely trust him. It was 10 years ago; people grow."

Silly me for, once again, thinking the Democrats would make a rational decision.
Instead, they pass over their most popular member with anyone under 40 for a 74-year-old man with cancer, who will now be the face of the Democrats in the most visible and partisan House committee.

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
