Connor Bedard is 19, will be better on the details when he's 21 and "how he plays" is less important than the team around him being dog shit.

Ovechkin was dunked on for his 200-foot game too. Somehow that didn't prevent Caps from making playoffs in 15 of 17 seasons after reinforcements arrived.

just watched desharnais fail to clear the zone (again) and follow it up by missing a hit on an oiler and catching a canuck instead. I don’t care how little the coaching staff trusts brannstrom, he can’t possibly be worse than this. #canucks

Terrible call on Hoglander at any time of game, he played the body on the guy with the puck.

But with 30 seconds left in a tie game? Criminal call there.

Something about this has really got to me. It is just such a slap in the face - this is what we're worth, is it? Arguably the largest connector of human beings in the world, flooded with literal friction between each and every one by a billionaire addicted to growth. Death cult shit. Disgraceful.
Meta confirms they plan to add tons of AI-generated users to Facebook and Instagram

They will have bios, profile pics and can share content

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

if you're a tech journalist in the present climate, it's incumbent upon you to ask why big tech is pursuing dead ends like AI when they could just start using the number 2. ones and zeroes have taken us as far as they can. either chuck a few 2s in there or cede the future of tech to those who will
