“The Israeli govt has committed several war crimes over the past two years and also at the same a non-trivial portion of criticism of “Israel” is also just antisemitism” is just an extremely bad discursive problem to have, and I don’t see any way that it doesn’t get worse. Pretty bad!

Sally Jenkins brings such incredibly sports columnist energy to posting [laudatory][derogative]

For example the correct way to use there and their.

For a lot of people there is comfort in their being a right answer (and this holds even if you don’t know what the right answer is). CharGPT offers those folks the illusion of a right answer they can look up for ~everything.

Man remember the couple of years when they did three games an international break to make up for covid? Those were busy times

Three points for a win and one for a draw should fix it more or less but soccer coaches and nfl coaches have some key things in common when it comes to actually being smart about taking risks to win (in that they mostly aren’t).

This is more or less my entire career in soccer media lol.

Realised when writing this that they're all, in their own ways, 'sports are fun, and there's an intellectual level to bring to them, but we do it because sports are fun'

In the replies: “Are you sure that's antisemitic? Can you please explain it to me? That's not really convincing, can you try again?”

Way down the rabbit hole but my thinking is AKs is more often in spots where all six Aces and Kings are accounted for in other hands while AKo blocks two AKs instead of one making it less likely those cards are already out and extra live A/K is more important to your equity here.

Because AK removes two AKs combos in a spot where a couple of those value raising ranges include AA/KK/QQ/AKs but not AKo, and since (I assume) the bluff ranges, such as they are, pull from A5s type stuff and the cold 4/5 bluff ranges (I’m speculating) pull from KQs type stuff, AKo plays better?

The question is always is what’s good enough for the person commissioning the art and at what price.

But, like, it’s obviously not a question *for the artist*
