He’s the textbook case of someone who’s slightly better than his peers at one narrow thing, and mistakes that edge for intellectual greatness.

What OpenAI Did When ChatGPT Users Lost Touch With Reality

The most thorough reporting I’ve seen on how Chat GPT is affecting some people’s mental health, (and what the company is doing about it). Great work from @kashhill.bsky.social and @Jen Valentino www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/t...

Instagram post from former player Nicole Baxter following the appearance of her former teammate on a conservative news network this morning.

It reflects what others probably feel: have the conversation internally, not in a way that explicitly opens up players to abuse - that’s inexcusable.

The Ultimate List of Black Owned Farms & Food Gardens Black owned farms make up less than 2 percent of all farms in the United States. According to a recent report, Black farmers lost 80 percent of their farmland from 1910 to 2007, often because they

Black owned farms make up less than 2% of all farmers. Many don't have access to the same loans/resources as White farmers. Many had to resort to selling off land between 1910 and 2007, resulting in a loss of 80% of black owned farmland.

Thrilled to announce I will be joining the Chicago Cubs organization as a mindset and development coach.

Thank you to the Cincinnati Reds, who gave me my first job in professional baseball, for a beautiful two years. Looking forward to seeing you continue to grow.

Three-run homer for Astros C prospect Walker Janek for his second dinger of the Fall League.

Ever try the old Ben Hines drill?

Machine set up off the mound to the opposite-field side.

Makes you let the ball travel, stay inside it, work on top, and own the outer half.

Goal: drive doubles to the oppo gap.

If you don't like watching Alejandro Kirk, I'm convinced you don't like watching baseball.

The older you get, the harder it is to improve bat speed, coordination, command, and athleticism.

If you want to play at the next level, whatever that is for you, attack those areas while you're young and you can still make big gains.

And don’t neglect the mental side. It's just as important.

In sports economics and labor discussions, a salary floor refers to team-wide payroll thresholds, not per-player minimums.

Tina Charles said on Sue Bird’s podcast recently that play in the W has gotten LESS physical than it used to be. And the idea that physicality in the women’s game needs to be reigned in is rooted in very old sexist tropes that said women shouldn’t play sports bc they are too weak to do so. /fin
