i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

Thank you, Senator Warren.
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Planet Rugby have published more than twice as many articles about the Freedom Cup game this weekend in the last 24 hours than they have about the 2025 World Cup since it started. Perhaps time they changed their name to Planet Men's Rugby.

Oof, the sycophancy problem in LLM's + triggering on any irrelevant details you feed them, recently led a P2 problem call down the wrong pathing for hours.
The chatbot is never going to TELL you to step back and ask if this entire inquiry is irrelevant to larger goal.
This is your moat. It's mine.

Even if X was broadly demographically representative of the UK population (and it’s possible given that historically it used to skew so socially liberal) Musk and the algorithms now boost far right content so much that it’s not a reliable barometer of mainstream opinion.
I do think X is seriously damaging the brains of the UK political class. It's wildly unrepresentative of actual public opinion but is still being treated as such.
(Bluesky isn't representative either obviously but no one treats it as such).
