I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

It’s like nobody recognizes that instead of Albert Einstein, it’s Rich Little doing an Albert Einstein impression.
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

And Eric Lauer chews up more innings than Max Scherzer, just as we all predicted.

The announcers keep saying that both teams are almost out of pitchers, but they’re forgetting that pitchers and catchers report soon.

But wait, I was led to believe the Blue Jays would be overwhelmed by the star-studded Dodgers rotation…

Gotta love when your opponent hits back-to-back jacks and it doesn’t even lower your win probability. Pre-dingers? 99.9%. Post-dingers? 99%.

As of right now, the Jays have actually outscored the Mariners this series.

Of course, after looking like the Blue Jays’ weakest link over the last two games, the bullpen came up BIG tonight.
Go Jays!!!

As a card-carrying member of Team Eric Lauer, I am totally on board with the active roster for the Blue Jays against the Yankees. I probably would have swapped in Loperfido for Santander, but it’s not a hill a would die on either.
Go Jays go!

You know, it would be pretty funny if the Jays pass the Yankees in run differential before the season ends.

In high school there were a few minor issues I made my voice very clear on.
Stupid rules that existed for stupid reasons.
Time & again, the lesson I was taught was to stand up for what I believe in, BUT not here, not now.
This isn't the time or the place
It never is,
except it always is

I really wish Americans would stop treating the continued existence of Canada as the sort of thing they can do amusing thought experiments about.
Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
Canada as the 51st State? In Electoral Terms, Trump’s Idea Favors Democrats.
Bringing Canada into the United States, however farcical the prospect may seem, would alter the political map in a way likely to cost Republicans.
