For anybody in the UK who didn't subscribe to Paramount+, ITVX will be streaming The Offer - a drama series about the making of The Godfather. It's excellent.

What a load of bollocks. The agency can't even spell their own name.

“As a fellow portfolio company of Silver Lake, EA is now, just like Qualtrics, best understood as a surveillance operation.”

When the Saudis backed EA’s acquisition, they bought both cultural power and a surveillance infrastructure. It’s weird to see so much official disinterest in this move.

Inspired by Northwestern students protesting EdTech-delivered loyalty oaths, by the student-led Luddite Renaissance, by Matthew Josephson, Connie Bruck & @tressiemcphd.bsky.social, I tried to track how kleptocratic antitrust policy enables a surveillance megalith.

That's a great place. I love the constitution and the swing seats in the cafe in the middle of the square. Got the passport stamp too. Vilnius is a place I wished I had spent longer.

If you're an MBA out to revolutionize a sports league, follow the Beer Line Method: go to a game and describe your idea to any five fans in line for concessions, and if they tell you it sucks major ass, buy their beer to say thanks for saving you money on AI match reports or NFT monkeys or whatever

This reminded me of the the old UK newspaper Sport First which took the Press Associations event feed, text commentary and printed it in full in the newspaper in place of match reports to save money. Often it ended up as a list of throw ins which was the most common event collected!

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.
