Why is Clay Travis alienating two thirds of his potential audience?
Four polls in recent days now have Trump in the 30s, with 3 at 35%-36%: 2/
35%-62% (-27) ARG
35%-56% (-21) High Point University
36%-60% (-24) Gallup
38%-57% (-19) Econ/YouGov
Again, Trump just keeps dropping.

optimization and personalization zealotry is, imo, the most consequential and dangerous ideology of the 21st century. more than the so-called post-liberals.
I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

I pulled up a 1989 NASCAR race to show the 4yo the real life Darrell Cartrip and Strip "The King" Weathers. He picked three favorites: Davey Allison, Dale Earnhardt, and Alan Kulwicki.

A lot of Todd Snider remembrances since Friday have linked Play a Train Song, his eulogy of East Nashville legend Skip Litz. Todd wrote this blog (🔗 @ end of 🧵) right after Skip died, a year before the song came out. It reveals a lot about "Uncle Skip," old East Nashville, and about Todd Snider. 1/

Made it through my book club's November pick in less than 10 minutes. Thought it was an odd choice but curious to hear what everyone else has to say about it.

I love the subtle incorporation of red in both uniforms. Hadn't thought of it before this series, but I wonder if the Jay's design was a conscious homage to the Dodgers' unis. Why else put the logo there?

August sales tax figures are in. $76.8M in local option sales tax for Davidson County means $14.0M for transit.

Through the first seven months of Choose How You Move, we've generated $96.9M in dedicated funding for transportation projects in Nashville.

I have not seen this many players on the field look this confused at the same time in years (and I play sandlot baseball)

"What if Josh Naylor was fast?" is going to be one of those great baseball "what ifs," up there with Ted Williams playing through WW2, the Expos in '94, Bo Jackson staying healthy or Josh Hamilton staying clean.

How is the Open Cup "major" but not the NHL's Presidents' Trophy, which the Preds won in 2018?

Happy first day of fall y'all

Preferences, not predictions.

None of the teams I hate made it this year, so this was tough! I just want everyone to stay safe and have a good time.
