I’m sorry but this is an issue with humans, not technology. Replace ChatGPT in this story with Fox News or Infowars and you get similar results. Tech or media are easy scapegoats when we don’t want to look at ourselves in the mirror to admit we’re the problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

4 year old daughter to me as I was trying to get her to bed: “Daddy, just go. I want five minutes of peace.”

What a wimp youtube.com/shorts/9Rtvi...

As a #Pacers fan, I don’t really care about the media narrative around Hali not showing up in Game 2 or that he isn’t a “superstar.” Dude is a baller and will go down as a Pacers hero. He’s everything we thought Paul George was going to be for us.

My daughter has been screaming at Alexa for 15 minutes to put a song on but Alexa didn’t understand and I had no idea what she wanted. So I asked ChatGPT and it figured it out instantly. That alone was worth the cost of my monthly ChatGPT subscription.

@brianmc.bsky.social reminder to shout out the winner of the podcast FPL mini league on Tuesday’s show. He crushed everyone. Top 15k overall finish.

Won my work mini league for the 3rd year in a row, but missed top 100k by 1 f-ing point. Ended up 100,422. Fourth season playing #FPL and best rank so far, but still haven’t been able to crack the top 100k yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Looking forward to trying again next season

Final line up of the season. Thought I had enough to do Sarr to Bowen, unfortunately that wasn’t the case 🤦🏻‍♂️. Cunha -> Evanilson 🌎 124.2k 36pts ahead in 1st of my work mini-league going for the 3-peat. 🤞🏻 #fpl #gw38

Happy 20th to the best music site to have graced the blogs @nahright.bsky.social

By the descriptions and speculation, I'm imagining the Altman/Ive io device to be what Joaquin Phoenix had in 'Her' – earbud with a camera thing that pins to your shirt. Basically, a better version of what Humane tried to pull off?

LFG!!!

I can’t believe I just got an open TestFlight spot for WhatsApp and now I can run it natively on my iPad. I’ve been trying for years and it’s always been full

Made the jump and finally got a professional subscription to @kagi.com

Triple Captain Salah in 24 and Free Hit this week were the best uses of chips I’ve ever had playing #FPL

Am I wrong for wanting the #Colts to take a flyer on Shedeur at this point in the draft? He’s better than Danny Dimes and our QB competition is already going to be a distraction. I think it’s worth it. Why not? #NFLDraft

76 pts so far with three left to play. And back on top of the work mini league. Great week for a free hit.

I dropped to 2nd in my work league for the first time in 2025. Got rocked last week and am now 28pts behind 1st. However he used his FH in 29 and only has 4 players going this week. This is pretty template, but rolling the dice with a few and hoping it pays off. #FPL #GW34

1FT - Palmer -> Saka 🧢 Marmoush 🏦 £.9mm ITB BB activated 🌎 149.4k Two goals for the season: 1) finish in the top 100k and 2) three-peat champ in my work mini league #FPL #GW33

My 4 and 2 year olds just locked themselves in my bedroom by jamming the handle so it couldn’t open the door and I had to break the door down to get them out. Fun times… How’s your night going?

This is a meta “only in journalism” (or only in podcasting?) one, but @bryancurtis.bsky.social you used “mise-en-scène” when talking to @davidshoemaker.bsky.social about seating at the WWE. I definitely had to look that one up

Still tinkering around the edges, but this is my WC team for GW32. Planning to BB 33 & FH 34. In 33 I’m moving Isak and Palmer for Watkins and Saka. Have £.8m ITB now. The moves in GW33 will bump that up as I figure out the AsM chip for 35 or 36. Is there anything to improve/change here? #fpl

If you buy a physical copy of a book, you should get a significant discount on the digital/Kindle version. I’m not asking for it to be free (although that would be nice), but I shouldn’t have to pay nearly full price for something that costs nearly nothing to mass produce digitally

I guess I don’t have the particular skills this person is looking for…

Are there any good accounts to follow on here for video clips of sports highlights as games are happening? Looking for #NBA, #premierleague, etc.

Five years of daily closing those activity rings

I just asked Alexa to play “Sleeping Bunnies” and it thought I said “Bodies” by Drowning Pool, and boy were my four and two year olds confused

Not thrilled starting Greaves, Castagne, & Dango. Thought about -4 to get Dango out, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also didn’t expect to have Haaland on my team again this season, but Palmer sucking & TAA hurt freed up cash. 🔄 3 FTs TAA ➡️ Gvardiol Isak ➡️ Haaland Palmer ➡️ Kluivert 🏦 £2.2m 🌎 133.1k #fpl #gw29

Made one transfer and rolling two for next week. Probably going to have to take my first hit of the season to get 11 playing then but that’s a problem for next week. 🔄 Cunha -> Wissa 🏦: £1.9 ITB 🌎: 131k 🧢: Salah #fpl #gw28

Instead of just a search bar in a browser, it would be great if we had a “search/url” bar and an “AI” bar for questions.

Please forgive my French, but I just want to be on the record saying fuck these dipshit, ass clown, fuck face, little bitch, cunt fucks

Why don’t they air the BAFTAs live? I just got the Sky News alert with all the winners and now my wife and I are turning off the TV because why do we need to watch now?

Who hasn’t been stuck on an email chain where old people don’t understand the concept of reply all? 🤣🤣🤣 apple.news/A764t9iBVRlS...

Not feeling great with keeping Gakpo, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🔄 4 FT used out of 5: Fabianski -> Henderson Gvardial -> Muñoz Gordon -> Mbeumo Enzo -> Dango 🏦: £0.7 ITB 🌎: 135k 🧢: Salah #fpl #gw25

5 FTs and £.8m ITB. Lots to decide #FPL

The average team points in #FPL this week is 86. Mo Salah has 87 for triple captainers…

I know everything going on at home is batshit crazy, but this is also fucking nuts here in the UK now on.ft.com/4hNX8li

The Premier League equivalent of this Luka/AD trade would be like if City traded Haaland to Liverpool for Darwin.

Not falling for the AM chip trap this week*. The plan has been 3x LIV with TC Salah for this DGW and I’m sticking to it. 🧻 4 FTs to have 5 next week 3x 🧢 Salah 🏦 £0.8m ITB 🌎 164k #fpl #gw24 *famous last words

Not mentioned in this article; people in the UK (or at least London) are horrible drivers who don’t know or follow the rules of the road at all. I hate driving here. www.economist.com/britain/2025...

I’ve gone rogue and am probably going to regret my transfer, but… 🔄 Cunha -> Gakpo 2 FTs remaining 🏦 £0.5m 🌎 246k 🧢 Salah #fpl #gw22
