It feels like they are more aggressive with the highlights after a loss as well. "Hey, do you want to see how your team was humiliated? Are you sure, we got super highlights now, just for this one game."

Also helpful for "someone sent me this youtube video without context of what it was, as soon as I was 10 seconds in I want no part of it" situations. Just go in and delete the watch. Or even more benign of "I just want to be watching something else other than this thing I used to like"

If you want to do a little bit of algorithm cleaning, you can go to your watched videos history and delete all of the ones that you have watched so far. It still might send you a few for a while, but eventually it should stop sending them (again). It's one of the least bad things about YouTube.

You saw @heartsofpine.bsky.social's Lighthouse Kit drop yesterday, right?

I wonder how likely it is that Big Ange ends up coaching in MLS next season. And if he could recover any of the magic he showed while coaching Celtic. Think with the right setup around him he could do some really good work. I just don't think any of the open coaching position might allow that.

One can hope! The F1 deal also makes it seem like a possibility. Still think there’s work to be done to get some games aired over the air. But not a lot of hope that ABC or Fox do that.

You can let MLS know how you feel about generative AI recaps if you’re so inclined: www.mlssoccer.com/feedback/rec...

List of games that MLS is going to use Generative AI for their match reports, which is the complete Decision Day schedule.

According to the feedback, they are looking at using it for every Decision Day game as well. I've put up with a lot with this league, but really makes me question about going to games or subscribing to Season Pass next year.

This sucks. A lot.

I know from my own experience doing it— it is NOT expensive to pay humans to do this. I got invaluable development working there. As did countless others.

But hey look at that, here’s a feedback form in case you also think it sucks www.mlssoccer.com/feedback/rec...

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

Yes, I know that today is March 31st and not April 1, but we wanted to publish this post on a weekday and not wait until the weekend (when we’ll be hiking).

People Are The Point I... uh... I think I wrote a manifesto.

My latest newsletter is about why being anti-genAI is to be pro-human.

It's about why it's time to fight. Why we need to fight. And it's about the cost of failure.

YIKES @soundcloud.dev no thank you

It's funny watching how quickly the bird feeders empty once the birds learn that you are filling it up again. I try to fill once a week, and there's weeks where it's gone the first day.

The Vancouver Whitecaps are into the Concacaf Champions Cup final after rolling past Inter Miami with three second-half goals for a 3-1 win tonight and a 5-1 aggregate victory.

They'll meet the winner of Cruz Azul-Tigres on June 1.

I mean, that's fair. I'd love to see a 4-1-2-1-2 Wide Diamond for at least a game though.

Got to think there's a way to get Dejan and Willy on the field with Thommy behind them. But we got to stay in the 4-3-3 until the end of time it seems.

This sent me on a journey.

• '93 v. Japan was USWNT's 78th game ever. Today's is No. 758.
• 19-cap player in '93 = appeared in 24% of the team's all-time games.
• 51-cap player today = appeared in 6.7% of the team's all-time games.
• US has 16(!) players to have appeared in over 25% of its games

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked.

I really wish people would stop using LLMs “as a goof” or “ironically.” Yes we know computer do silly things. Can we please not consume a gallon of fresh water and a household family’s worth of electricity for something that stopped being a novelty in 2022

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.

Netflix signs US broadcast deal with FIFA for the Women's World Cup in 2027 and 2031 FIFA has signed Netflix to a United States broadcast deal for the Women’s World Cup in 2027, plus the 2031 edition that could be played in the U.S.

Really dreading the day when this is a fully realized thing and not just some horror on the horizon. apnews.com/article/fifa...

There's probably other options, but one I've started using recently is Moonsift that allows you to add items to the list from any website.

They don’t em them like this anymore

We are 138. We are 138.

Nuthatches are known to give the finger to gravity. Very fun bird to watch.

I really can't believe that anyone is watching all the mistakes that these refs are making and think that these refs are "not that much worse" than the refs currently on strike against the league.
