So, we have a bunch of articles slated to go out in the back half of June; we had these planned for earlier, but they got delayed due to me crashing out. Also: we're looking at a ~600 donation to Trevor if the donations to date are right.

This is the first time that I’ve been genuinely shocked by the quality of video produced by AI. It’s not perfect…but most people wouldn’t notice. That’s a pretty big problem.

Oh no! Someone you can’t stand joined Bluesky—what should you do? Dunk on them? Debate them?? Try to write a galaxy-brained opinion piece about why it’s actually a good thing that they joined??? NOPE. Instead, do this: youtu.be/SlKao_Pox5A?...

So the Lakers fleece the Mavs for Luka and then sell their franchise for 10 billion while the Mavs franchise value tanks. I keep thinking we’re done seeing the idiocy of the Luka trade, but NOPE.

Today's FLASH GORDON 🥶

Meta's AI discover feed is (still!) leaking user conversations with its AI. With its scale/import in shaping people's perception of reality, it is hard to think of a worse actor in the AI space than Meta, or to imagine a more invasive, user-hostile product than this www.404media.co/meta-invents...

I’m not an expert on how this works…but wouldn’t this basically end the plans for hosting the World Cup and/or the Olympics here?

Short answer: NOPE Long answer: A lot of these services are entering a sink or swim era, and BNPL is a short-term boost for the companies and the consumers. The simple reality is that a lot of these VC-backed disrupters don’t have the business fundamentals to survive long-term.

Hey, a thing I wrote! Check it out!

Due to a shelter-in-place order and ongoing safety concerns following a shooting that targeted two elected officials, the No Kings protest in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this horrifying violence.

So, in the 4th quarter…what happened? -Pacers got too tight? -Thunder found something that worked? -Pure chaos? Honestly, idk

Huge win for OKC. I’m still not sure who wins it all, but it feels like this series could go the distance.

The free throw contest is on

Foul or not, that call is wayyyyy too late

This sentence perfectly encapsulates what makes Rick Carlisle such a great (and unique) coaching talent.
