I still don’t know about this wonderful Mr. Feeny πŸ˜‚ haha

Fun fact: I learned what Boy Meets World is because of this post (and the Wikipedia page I looked at after reading your post)

Haha πŸ˜‚

Ugh. This sucks.

As a Cubs fan with a job, Friday night is a time I’m usually free and like to watch the Cubs. But putting 3 of those games on yet another streaming service makes the team less accessible to regular consistent fans like me.

Why is late March not suitable for baseball? Why is it different than April, September, or any of the summer months? Of course, there might be some days unsuitable because of heavy rain, lightning, heat, snow, etc. But that kind of unsuitability could happen in any month, March is no different.

I’d prefer it began in first week of April. But I understand, and I’m ok with it starting a few days earlier to allow more off days in the season.

Your first sentence is a statement, not a question. But I, and many others, disagree with this premise. There are not too many MLB regular season games.

There are too many playoff games (in my opinion) but that’s a totally different issue.

It’s also illegal.

According to UN Charter, preventive attacks have no legal right and are illegal. Same for assassination of heads of state.

Operation Epic Fury is an illegal war crime; a β€œpreventive attack” on Iran without provocation or evidence of imminent threat, which is against international law established by UN Charter. Khamenei’s assassination without legal war or imminent threat is an international war crime and US crime

Screen capture showing this post has a generic link to the Instagram log in page, so it’s impossible to see what is deserving of entry into the Whitney Biennial.

South Shore Chefs Go All In On 'Vegan Village' Food Hall Tsadakeeyah and Nasya Emmanuel will put their plant-based restaurant Majani on hiatus as they work to open the food hall and restaurant incubator near Rainbow Beach.

Oh no! Majani is one of the best. Good people, great food.

I hope Vegan Village will be successful.

Screen capture of Wikipedia page for Claymore Mines, showing a view of the mine with β€œFront Toward Enemy” stamped onto the surface of the explosive. There is also text saying: 

The M18A1 Claymore mine with the M57 firing device and M4 electric blasting cap is assembly.

Type: Directional fragmentation antipersonnel mine

Place of origin: United States

Right, excellent point.

Enforcement of property laws and rules (including intellectual & creative property) depends on WHO is in possession of the property. In this case, it’s corporations. So the rules & laws are not enforced (frankly, not even discussed)

I’m rooting for Javier Assad, one of my favorite Cubs players.

I do not understand why the laws and rules of intellectual/creative property and citation don’t apply to AI. Like, why is it not expected & required that words or images/videos created by AI are attributed/cited the same way we expect and require that for other source material, images, or texts?

Whaaat? I’m sorry, but fuck this. I’m a 40+ year baseball fan, and I’m totally running out of patience and forgiveness for corporate baseball that chooses money & wealth over fans, every time.

There are other entertainment options I can choose.

Maybe because he hired a bunch of lackeys? This seems to be the way American leadership works recently: hire (or elect) a popular yet incompetent person for the top job, who proceeds to hire incompetent people for all management positions, who then wreck everything with their blundering incompetence

Thank you for pointing this out! It’s finally possible to watch a WBC game without giving support and funding to FOX

Installing cameras at all intersections has my vote. It’s the best way to reduce speeding, running lights/stop signs, and many other crimes. I’d much rather have cameras all over the city than thousands of 4000 lb. police trucks on the roads. Move more cops to foot and bicycle/ e-bike patrol please

Echoing a Falsehood = a longer phrase that means the same thing as β€œlying”

Serious question: Why not write that he was β€œrepeating lies,” or just β€œlying” ? Is this an editorial policy?

Completely agree, and believe your first statement can be extended out to read: β€œHerein lies why AI can never be a creator, innovator, or inventor of anything that advances human life meaningfully.”

Dear @nytimes.com ;

This is not writing. These are single paragraphs, removed from context and thus stripped of content, meaning, and reason for existing. It also seems one has clearly been created to mimic another, so has no reason to exist other than that. This is sloppy, and frankly, stupid.

β€œI quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else … and we ate Mexican.” Where they were, of course, confronted with menu items such as Enchiladas, Guacamole, Carne Asada, and Pico De Gallo. This is just flat out racism: Italian food presented as educated upper class, while Mexican food is…

@npr.org Rather than report on oil prices and the stock market effects of war, how about you report on how much war costs and how more than 40% of people’s federal income taxes are used to pay for all this death, destruction, and misery.

People are dying, neighborhoods & cities destroyed, friends in Tehran send messages saying β€œpray for us,” as the sky rains oil, and NPR gives us 2 hours of stories about oil prices and stock market effects.

This is the problem. People care more about economics than about other people.

I need an app to unlock my apartment door. I need an app to use my building elevator. I need an app to use my building laundry. I need an app to put in maintenance requests. All these apps require residents to have a smart phone, carry their phone, and have connection to internet. It’s horrible.
