Adding alt text for screenshots is super easy! On iOS:
1: attach pic to skeet
2: tap “+ALT”
3: find the button with horizontal lines inside four corners. That’s the OCR—tap it
4: text will light up. Press on it and a menu will appear
5: tap “select all” then tap “copy”
6: paste into alt text box

We need a societal understanding that too much power is dangerous. Wealth taxes and trust busting are a matter of public safety. The rich and powerful are a threat to themselves and others.

The Cavaliers took 10 more shots, 18 more free-throws and committed eight fewer turnovers.

Even with Miami shooting well from outside, you lose the possession game by that much you'll be in danger against any roster.

Pirate stars such as RF Dave "Cobra" Parker, LF Omar Moreno, and SS Tim Foli quickly rotated out, but "Pops"—Wilver Dornell Stargell from Alameda, California—stayed in three.

They'll be across the bay at Candlestick tomorrow, facing the Giants and old Bucco Rennie Stennett.

Pirates won 4-1, btw.

Pittsburgh starter Rick Rhoden, rehabbing with the Portland Beavers, goes seven against his Pirate teammates in a home exhibition game.

The Oregon Journal says Rhoden "belongs in the PCL as much as skiers belong on Mount St. Helens."

These folks realized VERY early on that they'd get to cover Celebrity President and they weren't letting that go for anything
Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

I missed the chance to screenshot it but saxophonist Maria Grand had a really good response to someone asking her if she uses generative AI which was something to the effect of “the tediousness is integral to the process”
A pretty bleak thing that GenAI is revealing is that a significant percentage of the population seems to have no interest in actually learning or doing anything. They want to ChatGPT their way out of hobbies, art making, everything... www.thecut.com/article/woul...
