One of the things I’ve said multiple times is that any number of these tech weirdos in the Bay Area could have bought the Oakland A’s and built them a stadium and become a Bay Area legend. None thought to do so because none have normal human thoughts and emotions.

Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide?
"It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

I will say it until I’m out of breath but if you’re critical of colleges offering “fake” degree programs with absolutely no intellectual rigor, start with the undergrad business degree or I’m not taking you seriously. 100% fake curriculum of airport Leadership slop.

I don't know who in my circle needs to hear this, but it's okay for you to not like certain albums from artists you love. Sometimes artists regress a little. The Beatles even did it (Yellow Submarine). It's okay to like earlier albums better than later ones. (My favorite is Revolver.) It's all okay.

@producermcd.bsky.social My condolences for the Mets season. I will miss you and Kris not doing a post-mortem on The Friday Show. As a suffering Twins fan, I would have appreciated some commiseration.

The bad news is that if you're reading this, we didn't get raptured. The good news is that now that some pious billionaires were surely raptured, we can just take their stuff and re-distribute it for the public good of all of us remaining, right?...Right?

Here is a helpful list of 21 right-wing homicidal maniacs who were inspired by or share views with mainstream Republican politicians and pundits. There are more, these are just the ones I came up with off the top of my head.

The extra padding on the helmets some NFL players have for concussion purposes look like someone used the Big Head code on NBA Jam.

I went to a grocery store deli for lunch today. As I was walking out, an older guy walked in with a receipt and a carton of half-and-half. And I just thought, it's 'bout to go down.

Okay. I'm getting nothing but ads for mushroom coffee. 1) it sounds like bullshit, but are there some proven benefits? 2) how much of an adjustment does it require, digestively? And 3) does brand matter? Looking for science--not hippie stuff, conspiracies, vibes, or propaganda from BIG SHROOM!

Wait, so if May 11, 1980 was also a Sunday, was it also Mother's Day? Was Karen flushing their stash and hiding a gun in her underwear on Mother's Day?!?

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

I think I have a LinkedIn from years ago. I occasionally get an email prompt about it that I ignore. I don't go there because the vibes SKEEVE ME OUT. I understand its function, but it makes me feel insane and I hate it.
We don't talk enough about LinkedIn in the context of social media and white supremacy, because ... whew.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋
