This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Yankee fans are the worse. Behind the plate is emptying.

Deloitte to partially refund Australian government for report with apparent AI-generated errors Deloitte Australia will partially refund the Australian government for a report filled with apparent AI-generated errors.

How long before people learn that they can't rely on genAI to do anything important?

RIP Jane Goodall, who inspired so many people to appreciate, understand, and protect animals and the environments in which they live.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

"Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved."

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."

Jane Goodall was the best of us.

Fingers crossed for a Red Sox/Yankee series is five 12 inning games.

No blow outs.
Only really close, really long games, with a lot of high leverage situations.

Gives me the fucking creeps how these people are making fake women using AI and choose to give them extremely child-like faces. 🚩

1st-round bye key for Blue Jays as Bichette's status to return remains TBD TORONTO -- There’s still something missing here. Even with the Blue Jays clinching their first AL East title since 2015, it doesn’t feel complete without Bo Bichette. Toronto didn’t exactly spring thr...

If this is the last dance for Bo Bichette in Toronto, the #BlueJays need to give him a shot at writing his own ending.

The bye? It’s a start.

A lot of folks who made "free speech" their whole bit have made it exceptionally clear that the only speech they care about keeping "free" is their own and that of those who think exactly like them

Fundamentally, the reason I avoid Covid is because all - all - of the elements of my life that bring me joy and fulfillment rest on my cardiovascular fitness and / or my cognition. I'm not going to risk a virus wrecking that, as I've seen happen to way too many people I know.

β€œLive to see them die”, that feels like a Cardassian proverb.

I like it.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

β€œFascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧡

If this passes, I will order 100 "Palestine Action" T-shirts and hand them out to whoever will wear them.

I know they *say* they won't outlaw that, but that's absolutely where this is going.

Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry.

Here's a test for all of them.

Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march?

Or will they both sides it?

Lets see.

This is the sort of thing that should really alarm Canadians, given the bullshit rhetoric from Trump about fentanyl, etc.

They could use this exact same rationalization to bomb a Nova Scotia lobster boat, and I wouldn't put it past them by a long shot.
