Finally getting around to watching The Naked Gun and the sparkling water joke is so stupid that I can't stop laughing about it

Way to go UNC, your big name coach got you a 4-8 record and your biggest rival who is more worried about bracketology at this point is going to the ACCCG
The kick is NO GOOD!
CAL UPSETS SMU! #Calgorithm After Dark!
Duke (7-5) to the ACC Title Game to face Virginia!
Incidentally, Cal is also now 7-5.

So unless something different happens, two more years after this season ends the Wild will have as many years in a row where they didnt make the conference finals as the North Stars played
Today I realized that by season‘s end, the Minnesota Wild will have played here as long as the North Stars

My anecdote was during Thanksgiving my youngest brother talked about trying to use an AI display to get an order at a fast food drive thru and the entire table shaking their heads in great disappointment that there was something like that around here and vowing not to go to that place
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

AI telling Twins ownership to kill the team absolutely makes sense in retrospect
i think sports and its need to produce actual results could provide a useful heuristic here. which teams do we think are most likely to heavily integrate AI into their front office right now between... let's say the dodgers, the brewers, the nationals, and the white sox?
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Clearly this was the Thanksgiving meal for a hospital or nursing home where you can't serve anything that's spicy or has too much salt in it

Minnesota's win over Wisconsin means the Gophers retake the series edge, 64–63–8 (.504) after losing it in 2017.
Tight series!
