Arizona Reid?

As I was saying...

Missed opportunity not airing this on Whisky Friday with Tony Dokoupil.

Bomani Jones on the N.B.A., Analytics, and Race The ESPN host shares his experiences in sports media and wonders whether advanced statistics are making sports more efficient and less fun.

Bomani Jones is also one of the very few people who did *well* in an interview with Isaac Chotiner in 2019: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

My favorite video segment about who gets asked to be a panelist on activism vs. analytics: youtu.be/FdURTJBQQHk?...

Following up on this, I have to believe I'm not alone in my experience getting tattoos, which is that every single artist who's worked upon me has asked — subtly or directly — why I'm getting what I'm getting.

This is generally not a No Questions Asked business.

I'd never heard Newsom refer to himself as a "Sarge Shriver Democrat" before. Lots of different connotations to that one.

Wasn't that the title of Bill Burr's set in Riyadh?

GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM Talks California, ICE, New Book YouTube video by The Adam Friedland Show

Disappointing sign that Newsom went on Friedland and there was nothing on my feeds about it. Seems like Newsom made it through looking reasonable to that audience.

Capers imo

Anyway, all this was prompted by listening to another is-there-an-AI-bubble podcast discussion that I had to tap out of because no one brought up the core problem that AI evangelists seem to want a world where few people actually write or engage with the guts of their work, which I think is bad.

Things I've been mulling that probably aren't original but... Software people clearly think they see value in AI, likely because various tools appear well suited for reducing tedious parts of the work. Just how this will affect us as we move forward and more people enter industry without having...

ALL OF THEM

Herbert with a fucking killshot on this one

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Desperately attempting to be cool by making a bunch of pop culture references to obscure that the thing you want to be recognized for is an unwanted and blatantly illegal war of aggression.

He should be canonically ace so that he has to explain it to Superman and Wonder Woman.

The meme has been marinating all these years, waiting for exactly this

Aaaaaaaaaaaalbuquerque!

I did a book report on Lord of the Flies in Hypercard.

I had impassioned arguments over whether people should use MySpace instead of Friendster.

We are not the same as them.

Best part of quoting Jessup is that the colonel is so high on his own supply he doesn't realize that his preening "we follow orders or people die" speech helps fuck him because *he disobeyed orders to stop the code reds*.

Perfect tribute

I believe UPN was notable for the wildly divergent Moesha, WWE Smackdown, Star Trek TNG slate of programming at the turn of the century. CW grew out of The WB in 06, and I associate it primarily with whiter shows like Dawsons's Creek, Gilmore Girls, and One Tree Hill.

Beyonce's "Single Ladies" came out before many of this year's high school seniors were born.

The difference between UPN-core and CW-core is that UPN-core is mostly indoors and often has a weirdly pastel-ish color palette, whereas CW-core has an outdoors vibe and is warm golden-tinted, imo.

Gobert is gonna be an interesting convo.
