Gemini needs some work. The AI couldn't create a realistic image of the Philadelphia Union celebration on a 747 flying over city hall.

There are at least 20 things wrong here...assuming this were safe.

Prove you are a Philly Union fan. Respond with the errors you've found. #doop
AI generated image of Philadelphia Union hoisting the Supporters Shield while standing on a podium in a 747 flying over Philadelphia City Hall. I promise that the AI got it mostly wrong.

Happy to witness the boys in blue getting the MLS Supporters Shield.

Nice Work, Union!

The Mad Max series is polarizing. But if you can't appreciate the cinematography, you aren't really a cinema fan.

Feelies "Crazy Rhythms"

Discovered this group when I heard Peter Buck (REM) talk about it. This album is my favorite of theirs, but "Only Life" is a close second.

"Loveless Love" and "Original Love" are tracks you most listen to, both are masterpieces.

Trump's approval rating by demographic. It's that last column that is most telling: The educated hate him. Maybe that's why he hates the Dept of Education.

I accidentally picked up Asheron's call, not realizing it was an MMO subscription. I was immediately hooked, however. I played it from release weekend up until they shut down the servers. I miss it dearly... Nothing ever got to that level again for me.

Maybe the USPS is struggling because they are awful at logistics...I think that has been Louis DeJoy mission. How else could you explain the ping-pong between two facilities like this?

Package is late, btw

Can't go to bed angry, so here's a picture of my dog, Tully. He is a Schnauzer-Poodle blend (Schnoodle). Sometimes crazy, but very loving and snuggly.

And yes, he is named after Tullamore DEW, my favorite Irish Whisky.

It was good to be back in Subaru Park. As a bonus: The boys won 4 to 1.

It's only the second game. But the boys look good. They were fit (no tried legs that I saw), and communicating well.

Is going to be adventurous season.

#istandwithukraine
I'm half Ukrainian. My mother's maiden name is Billyk. But this isn't a biased opinion: Russia invaded Ukraine.

I'm ashamed that our masquerade-President sided with tyranny today.

Zelenskyy is a leader.

Trump is scum.
