Ouch. Gary Cohen lamenting the Mets' local broadcast being poached for big weekends with the Dodgers and Phillies in May and June: "The three horsemen: Apple, Fox, and ESPN."

Unpopular opinion: ESPN's unrelenting coverage of Yankees-RedSox instead of providing true national coverage was a limiting factor.

update, the small client trying to jam their way into my priority queue immediately got a bid 50% higher than their last project, lol, and ffs it's $2500 and they are suddenly ghosting me, go figure ... that plan worked from my perspective though #FreelanceChat

I dunno about everyone else, but the #FreelanceChat column in deck.blue has completely failed right now, keeps spitting out old stuff.

Amazing, it arrived just in time for today's #SABR #BaseballMemories visit to the VA CLC in San Antonio. Grew up near Hudson but this is my first real Mets cap! #LGM

"we don't have to know math because we have calculators and spreadsheets, we don't have to know how to write because we have ChatGPT, and we don't have to read because someone already read it for us" is a hella noisy take down the road to oblivion

Sure, AI will tell you that Laraine Newman and Paul Newman are siblings, but only with some digging will you discover that it's not *that* Paul Newman. (Go try it.) Disambiguation is not a strength of AI, nor is its ability to solve problems humans don't know how to solve.

If I were you Canadians, I'd sit tight ... there's a better than even chance you guys will pick up the remaining pieces of the northernmost US as the 11th and 12th provinces. #FreelanceChat

This week on #WhatWouldYouDo - 8 active projects for 2 clients, and a third client (who did a tiny bit of work last year) is trying to shove their new project in near the top of the line. Already tried the stall to get them out of holidays. Do I take it? At a premium? #FreelanceChat
