2008 Phils won with 2.

And I'm not seeing the 3. Bryce was a pretty good RFer.

Starting9 GM - Team Phungo @phungo2008.bsky.social · 9h

3 different players that cannot play in the field doesn't seem prudent.

Rob Hanna @robhanna.bsky.social · 9h

If he's *in addition to* Schwarber, I'm all for it.

Skimp on catcher, move Bryce back to RF, just spell him a lot over the course of the season. Lineup could be amazing.

Yes, Pete's a goober. He's also the best concievable RH bat we could concievably add. Assuming Tucker is a nonstarter.

I do not want Pete Alonso and his weirdo ex-Met energy on this team.
Acceptable ex Mets Tug McGraw Roger McDowall Zach Wheler that is all

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 20h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

Coffee is the ultimate former alcoholic drink. You can pay a guy $18 to make a fancy version of it right in front of your bloodshot eyes, or you can buy one in a gas station for a buck and a half while slowly crying to "Night Moves" because you just need to feel something again

crud...

FYI @billtwibh.bsky.social I did leave out a big detail that both noted this is the first time this has happened in # something years. So it was significantly more that just running out the pitching line.

Starting9 GM - Team Phungo @phungo2008.bsky.social · 1d

Both Jessica Brand and Sarah Langs sent out the similar stat on Blake Snell something like 8IP ??Ks no BBs 1 Hit.

Brand's was first and Langs did not echo credit. Apparently similar incidents happened in the past.

good news everyone, openai has "been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" in just a matter of weeks

no detail about how, or how theyve measured that, of course

a tweet from sam altman: We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).
