California keeps passing overwhelmingly popular bills by wide margins and Gavin Newsom, who sucks, keeps vetoing them https://ogletree.com/insights-resources/blog-posts/california-governor-vetoes-bill-that-would-have-required-employers-to-provide-notice-of-ai-use/

California Governor Vetoes Bill That Would Have Required Employers to Provide Notice of AI Use - Ogletree

On October 13, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed legislation that would have regulated employers’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other automated decisionmaking technologies in employment-related decisions, citing concerns about “overly broad restrictions” on employers’ use of the technology. The legislation, passed on the heels of the finalization of two separate sets of state AI regulations, would have added to California’s increasingly complicated web of overlapping and sometimes inconsistent laws and regulations concerning such technology.

I've been sick lately but I'm back on the blogwagon. Today's post is an extensive comparison between
the Kerkering error and the Kawhi Leonard buzzer beater of 2019, followed by an even more extensive breakdown of what the Phillies can and should fix

Can the 2025 Phillies Avoid Becoming the 2019 Sixers?

In this metaphor, Manny Ramirez is Vince Carter, Jhoan Duran is Jimmy Butler, Rob Thomson is Brett Brown.

this is so, so good. it's also, in its way, a paean to the regular season and why it matters in and of itself, even if MLB is doing its best to pretend it only exists as a prelude to the playoffs.

One time @zachkram.bsky.social had to inform a bewildered Michael Lombardi that eight points is still only one possession and that’s probably the first time I ever totally understood the concept of failing upwards.
