Writing a movie in the 80s/90s was so easy. It was just MadLibs.

Feel like I haven’t heard as much about gambling from those I talk to compared to even a few years ago, and fascinating to see data to back up that anecdotal evidence.

The best genre of sports press release is upper management saying "We failed, and I take full responsibility for that" but then that person is still employed and it turns out they're announcing firing someone else.
It's just a beautiful encapsulation of where the Twins are at as an organization.

Yeah, but also she is not good at this.
She lost. Badly.
Her high water point in polling was when Biden dropped out and she represented desperately wanted change.
Then she said “I’m not changing anything,” tracked right, and tanked.
Fuck the NR, their reasoning is bad, but broken clocks, etc.

This is precisely what a right-wing publication with a deeply troubled racial & gender history going back to its founder William F. Buckley says when they see a liberal Black woman who is good at this. They fear her.

Looking at resumes for an open creative video position is exhausting.
My new pet peeve is people who try to get too cute with their resume and have sidebars where THEY RATE THEMSELVES FROM 1-100 ON SKILLS. WHY! STOP! I DONT WANT TO KNOW YOUR SELF EVAL "SCORE" ON PREMIERE!
NOT HELPFUL, JUST WEIRD.

I’d say that this is a very revealing comment except what is revealed is very obvious: generative AI is an interesting technology with what will probably prove to be a few useful applications, and it’s being inflated into a trillion dollars year industry because tech has no other good ideas.
This was the line that made me do a double take.
Like, my dude (though you are in no way actually "my dude"), this is a choice you guys made because improvements to humanity that don't involve investors like yourself becoming richer than God are anathema to your worldview.

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

right-wingers will often say that America deserves credit for ending slavery rather than blame for having slavery. but then we made a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery and they still got mad, which should tell you what their real objection is.

My grumpiest wedding opinion is that after about the third time clinking glasses for a kiss at the reception, it’s just annoying.

I didn’t know Kevin but shed a few tears hearing them talk about who he was and the impact he had. The way the “talent” on that show so obviously care about their crew is incredible in a tough industry.

Once again, I am astounded by Ernie Johnson’s ability to host Inside The NBA, allowing each of the former players their glory and personas, while authentically showing up as himself and giving structure to the whole shebang.
His eulogy to Kevin Thomas made it very dusty in my house.
