today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

Lol I let the spurs fans on staff fight it out.

Champions League Round of 16 is as good an excuse as any to remind you to go follow these soccer nerds

At some point I’ll have to throw together a list of some of the things Brother Claude tries to get away with.

As a game tester I concur!

Yeah I’m a good vibe coder, I caught the problem and fixed it! I demand plaudits (it used up all my tokens tho)

Also unaware of substitutions.

Yesterday Claude decided that instead of minutes played it would just estimate from the first event a player had to their last because that was surely close enough estimation. So sure.

I think you are confusing β€œperson id like to root for” with β€œperson who will be the best manager to avoid relegation” in Ryan Mason. A man who has done nothing to demonstrate he’s a competent manager.
But certainly is somebody who cares about Tottenham.

Everton meant nothing to Dyche and he saved them from the abyss.

One analytics truism.

It can always get worse.

So, uh, maybe Thomas Frank wasn’t so bad?

I’m serious!

I think the club needs to not get relegated personally. I’d hire the guy who is good at that.

…..why?

This is legitimately the first time I can remember thinking that firing a manager at halftime would be justified.

Just go bring in the Dyche.

That’s the plan. It’s how they’re gonna nerf it.

Ok but it was a really good autobattler.

This is by far the most random hill I’m willing to die on.

Look think what you want about LLMs but the idea that humans aren’t synthesizing and reproducing training data to make language seems pretty wrong. We just accept that what humans express on the other side is novel.

I was about to make this joke lol. Your name popped up on my phone and I was like β€œI hope it’s the right Paul Johnson PhD for a boxing joke”

If you’re a PhD your entire existence is leisure time as it would be understood by anybody working before automation.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

As somebody who is a worker with words on the internet and has long had to come to grips with the fact that what most people want from prose is not what I, a professional, consider good prose…

It’s interesting to see talk about β€œgood code” now that anybody who wants to code can, more or less.
