It's telling that I now spend over $100 a year to read former SBNation bloggers...

I'm a nostalgic fool and tbh peak sports blogging was really the best

Review resumes and it is wild how many resumes are now edited to say they were working on AI back in the mid-2010s

Like I get the dance and the reframing but also -- it's okay? This is feeling sad.

Good thread and I'm with Erik that the NBA's tanking problem is a symptom of a much larger challenge with the league.

I'll over simplify things but shorten the d*mn season. Fewer games will help reinvigorate the entire league and help the NBA make more money in the long haul.

Pop up newsletters for the Winter Olympics (and this summer’s World Cup) are just… well… the best

I’m at the age where 30% of my group chats are friends sending grainy YouTube clips of 1990s NBA,
NHL, or NFL games

Good age tbh

Watching how some prompts an LLM is a mirror to their soul

Are they trying to explore an idea and go wide to see potentialities?

Are they sitting over someone’s shoulder demanding small tweaks?

tbh bestball streamers appear to be more ethical and level headed compared to some of the folks we're talking about in this thread (and yes I'm even referring to the slappies)

The more cynical but probably honest take at this point - the more people lack trust in media, the angrier people are - the more $$$ Meta stands to earn in the long run

It’s one where a lot of smart people tbh are too scared to push back because they are internally addicted to hitting arbitrary numbers to gain more stock that hinges on other arbitrary numbers going up

We’re two blocks down from this shop in Chicago (it’s great and the lines started to queue nearly a year ago - it’s great to see).

Want to call out that next door Great Lakes pizza opened up and for another Bay Area / Chicago reference… it’s the closest thing we’ve found to Cheese Board / Arizmendi

Wait… when did gmail get rid of the priority inbox?!?

Is this a move to just force me to use Gemini to read my email because all the filters and training are now kaput?
