Relatively unfocused these days. Formerly hyperfocused (and currently more normally focused) on bicycles, baseball, Star Wars, queer graphic novels, and Mormonism.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Oh, so now it's fine to have a war on Christmas
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

And it's all because some of us have decided that we can't be genocided again if we're the Oppressors. Well I for one didn't think the takeaway from the Shoah was that being Nazis was super cool and we should get a turn at the hate wheel.

The Dodgers are proof that billionaires who want their team to win baseball games can a) spend tons of money every year and b) let people who know what they're doing make decisions, leading to c) winning lots of games, even championships. Every owner could try this model if they stopped crying poor!
If your first inclination after that postseason is to argue about a salary cap or the Dodgers being bad for the sport, we just do not share anything in common about baseball

enjoyed today's bandwagon, and I agree with Hannah's take. My own adjacent one is that the lede mentioned is part of the internet-tinged impulse where it's not enough to have a great performance and appreciate it, but someone else also has to feel bad about it in the process
in today's bandwagon I went medium-long on how, increasingly, it feels like even postseason heroics are covered through the lens of baseball as a business. But if you don't care what's happening on the field NOW why do you care about the contract implications?

No level of competitive parity, no level of average payroll, no amount of team revenue would inspire the owners to come off of a "we must reduce labor costs" position. To think that is to ignore 60+ years of baseball labor history. Anyone who says otherwise is either dumb or is carrying water.
