Laissez Les Biff Temps Ruler

Missing the Wild and Wolves for work. Again.

Think I’m going to take Friday off. Get up early for Essendon vs Hawthorn Round 1, go back to bed, get back up for Connacht vs. Scarlets, take the family to a minor league hockey game, go to bed early.

Norm Charlatan: “Saw a disassembled plastic race car bed on the side of the road in front of a house today. Congratulations on the nuptials, buddy.” RandBall’s Stu: “Just had to throw out my plastic race car bed, sick of this.”

There’s beauty everywhere for those with eyes to see

I guess Amy Klobuchar is learning

The Mariners are home the weekend I’ll be in Seattle in September… 🤔

A point for Sheffield Wednesday? In this economy?

When will there be a TRANS of Hormuz

My coworker while observing this:

“OMG you’re just like my husband.”

Me: “Seems like a great guy!” 🤣

Does this make me a curmudgeon? I don’t know. But my own experience with this application thus far has mostly been inaccurate outputs that require more human effort to clean up than if the same humans had produced it.

I am not “anti-AI” per se, I do see it has value in spaces. But I’m not going to use the system that told my wife completely inaccurate Gopher football stats to write stuff that’s going to a Board for approval on a gigantic project.

I can write my own sentence. I do not need an algorithm to write a sentence for me.

“You’ve never used ChatGPT?!?!”

“Nope.”

“But they got us licenses!”

“Am I required to use it or not?”

“Well I guess not.”

“Ok then.”

Well I either distinguished myself firmly this morning or made a firm, career-limiting move.

“Use ChatGPT for it.”

“…is that an option or a directive?”

“Uh, well you’ve got a license.”

“…which I didn’t ask for…”

“Well but you’ve used it, just give it a try.”

“I have not used it.”

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

This dead-eyed cretin is effectively illiterate, but if anyone ever pressed Donald Trump or Elon Musk like this in an interview, they would sound exactly the same

Oh no, Beuerberg Abbey won’t do
And I did not think the nuns could be so cruel
And I’m never going back to my old

Just so people on bluesky are aware…I was very early bluesky and I very much actively followed every dog account I could find that signed up and now when I open bluesky I basically am given pure dog content straight to the brain stream every time. I am proposing everyone else do this. The end.

“You up?” he added, after an uncomfortable pause.

Yeah just that last thing that pushes us over. Feel like I haven’t slept in days.

This one hit me right in the gut. Still find myself getting sad about it sometimes.

Yes, exactly this. Don’t know why it’s such a struggle for me this year.

Hank Hill vomits into a trash can as the skeet below says “The more Donald Trump spoke, the less his Iran plan seemed clear.”

From Jim Harrison’s “The Raw And The Cooked” Life is just what it is. It has no opportunity to be anything else until we make a move and discover how many other things life can be beyond our rather deadening routines.

Damn, Jim. From the top rope.

From Jim Harrison’s “The Raw And The Cooked” Strange, but whereas five hundred bucks seems reasonable for a great meal, I could not perceive of spending that much for an article of clothing or footwear. To purchase a fine meal is to purchase a fine memory, and in my deathbed I will not care how I looked in the mirror, or to others, for that matter, but I will rehearse with pleasure the tablespoon dipping inaudible into the kilo of beluga.

Yes, Jim. Yes.

Going to read this Jim Harrison book until the letters start dancing and then it’s nighty night.

Basically haven’t slept in days. Help me, magic elixir, you’re my only hope.

I kinda dig these Nicaragua hats.
