With new seasons starting I’m refreshing my sports tattoo commitment.

I will get a tattoo for every one of my teams that wins a top-flight conference/league/national title or domestic/international cup.

“But what about performance?”

“Are you saying that my performance will be graded based on amount and quality of output? Or based on whether I did it with ChatGPT?”

“Output.”

“Great, thanks. I’m good.”

“Positions of your level are covered under the license.”

“What do you expect me to use it for?”

“Searches and writing?”

“I have Google and fingers. Thank you, I don’t want it.”

“You qualify for a license if you’d like one.”

“Nope.”

“…really?”

“Yes.”

My organization has started “adopting” ChatGPT which is a sure sign that the AI industry is about to collapse.

Guess the #Gophers need a boost. Donate to the Chair-ity, everyone!

Yesterday we mentioned ending streaks so time to move back into living memory and talk about 2013, when #Minnesota finally ended a 16-0 #Nebraska run that had begun way back in 1963.

Here are the all-time Chair-ity metrics for you #CFB stats nerds. A lovely graphic provided by Team Jack.

Can the Gophers get on their horse and win the donation competition for the first time since 2020?! Will the Huskers continue their donation domination?!

YOU decide.

Can’t remember if that was from my senior year or from my sister’s tenure, but they stepped it up after I graduated. Most made our own stuff before then, but the licensing department started to get strict 😅

ADHD means grinding your side quests and unimportant stats while your main quests lie dormant.

All that to say, I made my own Geiger counter.

You wanna weigh in here with a favorite moment or destructive video, @drzung.bsky.social?

Noting something I’ve already said elsewhere, I’ll donate $5 to Nebraska for each video or photo evidence provide that person broke a chair. Ideally set to an “Office Space” beat-up-the-copier type montage…bonus bucks for that.

You know what? I’ll donate $5 for Nebraska for everyone who replies with a picture or video of themselves breaking a chair.

There are #Gopher fans liking skeets in this thread but not posting their moments. Come on, pile it on! Make me pay!!! #CFBsky #B1G

BOO!-iff @biffthetick.bsky.social · 1d

Speaking of spite:

I’ll donate $5 to the #Minnesota side for every #Gopher fan (or neutral) who replies to this with their favorite memory of the #Gophers beating Nebraska.

No shortage of them recently! #CFBsky #B1G

Not enough of you are considering the fun of donating for spite.

Sooners, Buffs, Penn State fans hoping for Matt Rhule... Team One Four would love to welcome you to the squad.

Badgers, PJ Fleck capri pant haters... Team Jack is a fantastic org doing great work for kids.

I’m trying to dust off my high school German right now but if I can get to the point of reading and basic conversation again, Irish will be next.
