Once worked at a place where our manager told customers we'd have a fully operational website within two weeks, after we told her it was - at least - a six-month undertaking.

Guess who got thrown under the bus at an investor's meeting for not having a site up after two weeks?

Not her!
Leadership writing checks the underlying tech and/or labor can’t cover, and then guess who gets blamed for the inevitable failure?

Captain's Log, Stardate 92.035

The AI slop has taken over. We are powerless.

Images of Magic Johnson bowing down to Chris Paul, and prime Michael Jordan playing basketball with prime LeBron James fill our feeds.

Nothing makes sense. Nothing matters. Our reason for leaving Earth is justified.

Can I marry Klay's comments about Ja?

Because I will.

Two questions.

1. Is Tyrese Maxey the best American player in the NBA? Because I think he might actually be.

2. Are we still ignoring, that Orlando has *a lot* of moments where the ball just moves better without DeRoz.. I mean, Paolo Banchero?

This is not official betting advice, but... I really don't understand the Raptors only being 1.5-point favorites over the Sixers tonight given who's out for the Sixers.

The Sixers have basically no healthy wings and the Raptors are an entire team of wings! That seems bad!
Update: Joe Embiid has been downgraded to OUT on the 3:30 pm injury report. He was previously listed as doubtful.

Embiid joins Paul George, Adem Bona and Kelly Oubre Jr as players who are out for tonight's game.

Been a while, but listening to 2pac's Letter To The President this morning, which was produced during the Clinton administration.

It's utterly depressing how relevant it still is.

After their white-hot start, the Bulls are now .500 and in the Play-In by being the 9th seed.

They rank 17th offensively, and 19th defensively.

This is yet another reminder, that nothing that happens within the first two weeks of the season truly matter.

Going to repeat myself.

The Prime NBA crew is fucking fantastic. It's sooooo much better than we've had for years.

It's beyond shitty.
I've never seen a box score organized like this at any level of basketball.

ESPN is breaking new ground here.

First and most importantly, no one wants AI

Second, why would I want to pay for user generated content? If I paid for Disney+, it would be for professional content. That's the point of paying for it

"Bots watching content by other bots" is so real, and so depressing.
It’s so reminiscent of when all the media outlets were doing the “pivot to video” because facebook’s falsified data said people wanted it. The dead internet of bots watching content by other bots is going to collapse when companies stop paying for that ad space because it doesn’t reach anyone real.

Who is fucking asking for this? Show me who is asking for this.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Need LeBron to actually play in a G League game to fulfill his greatness.
Lakers' LeBron James was assigned to the franchise's NBA G League affiliate, South Bay, today and will participate in his first full practice of the season, including 5-on-5 play, as he works toward a debut.
