Hi from 50 UN Plaza, a federal building where many of my 18F colleagues used to report. Day 40 of the shutdown. 2 missed paychecks, part of a third. Federal employees (including my colleagues @ Dept of Ed) continue working without knowing when they’ll be paid, or are furloughed. #Shutdown2025

Anyone who thinks generative AI will one day overtake humans has never read a poem, novel, or an essay about sports (in this case, baseball) penned by an Irish author.
Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

My favorite part of the @mostlyskate.bsky.social interview with Kalis was him talking about how skateboarding isn't a sport, it's culture and an art. That was excellent.

The legalization of mobile app-based sports betting = a straight up disaster. Never mind the normalization of gambling lexicon into sports chatter and reporting. Doggg…gambling, like any other addiction, can and will destroy your life.
Legalizing sports betting has to be one of the biggest mistakes we’ve made as a society recently.

Shame your friends for posting AI slop in the chat. Especially music (eg Misfits songs in a doo-wop style). It’s an insult to every one who put in the hours to learn an instrument or how to produce.
