AI can't commit and capitalize on what is, for me, the crux of human creativity: mistakes.
Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

I'll miss Polo, and his 2025 will be etched forever in fan memory, but right now I'm just waiting for Marte or Donovan news like I used to wait for Santa

Polo forever
I waited 30 years to attend a Mariners playoff game and when I got there, Polanco took Skubal deep twice. Forever a Mariners playoff legend.
The entire Jorge Polanco Mariners Saga is incredibly rich and deep (and often very funny) but beyond everything else he is a legend forever for a couple of the biggest at-bats in franchise history. Salute, Jorge. Never blink.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

If the Mariners are serious about competing for and winning the World Series, about becoming an AL powerhouse for multiple seasons, they will trade for Ketel Marte this winter

Now that the Hollywood Handout is dead, we can move our attention back to what a joke John Fisher’s Stadium Scam is.

How do you post promotional photos of your new (unfunded) $2 billion stadium with stock images of Houston Astros fans? #SellTheTeam

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Obv I think it shoulda been BD but @benlindbergh.bsky.social said it best: Cal had the cooler season, even if it's "value" is hard to prioritize. And I agree--Cal got the last word 🔱
Forget the AL MVP Race. Cal Raleigh Has Already Defined the Season.
How much should capturing the baseball world’s imagination factor into the MVP debate?
