This I did not know.
Hab fans never let you down. An exciting young teams in the NHL is 10-3-2. One bad period and they lose their minds.
On the other hand, the constant pressure is part of the reason the Habs have achieved sustained excellence.
Look at Toronto, where they sit on their hands, win or lose.
Guys are such slack-jawed doofs.
Always thought it involved Torts but that could be wrong.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I don’t know how anyone who actually understands this technology can even make the mistake of thinking that generative AI resembles in any way human creativity, outside of its ability to steal it on a scale that makes the Louvre heist seem quaint by comparison.

It’s a cultural dead end.

I need everyone who uses AI to generate art & text to notice what Vince Gilligan says here. You're surrendering your brain, your creativity, the divine spark within you to a machine. Someday you'll wake up and find you're no longer capable of writing or thinking. And for what?

A spoon of electricity –
that’s what I can say about today in Kyiv.

Power outages are long.
But, as I once said, I try to do regular things during them
(well, the ones I can).

Life goes on,
just often in darkness.
Well Danault is on the cusp. But yes.
Eeesh. Writer's workshop. I'd rather eat ground glass. After leading 3 I've concluded that it's the worst job I've ever had in a career that includes shoveling many tons of cow shit and night clerking in a skid road hotel in Vancouver.
My sympathy.

The NFL will own 10% of ESPN, which licenses its name to a sportsbook.

The NFL will directly profit from sports gambling.

Goodell said in 2017, “We still strongly oppose legalized sports gambling. The integrity of our game is No. 1. We will not compromise on that.”
NFL will own 10 percent of ESPN. Factor that into any and all reporting ESPN does on league matters.
