I really hope Phil modeling all the different team swag on the sideline is somehow baked into the comp in his contract #rctid
Kamal taking that corner off that Rapids player was like attracting a puppy with a treat #rctid

RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.
Absolutely going out screaming YOU CANNAE TAKE MY EMDASHES just like William Fucking Wallace

On my in-laws' recent vacation to Portugal, they saw deportees forced onto the plane on the flight over, and then people snatched off of their plane by unknown authorities upon their return. All other passengers ordered to remain in their seats, during both operations.

My in-laws normally spend all the time they can traveling the world, but they've canceled their plans for the foreseeable. (They did have a wonderful time in Portugal.) #uspol

It FEELS like it works because that's the target of its optimization function. The term "bullshit generator" is both colloquially and precisely true. It's a big expensive gradient-descent optimizer and *the metric it is optimizing* is PLAUSIBILITY. It is fooling you because it is DESIGNED to fool you, and that is the one thing it's good at. It's an infohazard. Thinking that your critical thinking skills are so good that you are too smart to be tricked *is a risk factor for letting it trick you*.

Dinner tonight was a spatchcocked chicken, dry brined overnight, then coated with EVOO and some more spices, then grilled over mesquite. Served with a simple side salad of greens and tomatoes.

Y’all I nailed it, got a smoke ring and everything (on a regular Weber grill, not a smoker!)
