"Estimates found workers already waste 3.4 hours a month cleaning up the AI schlock, amounting to a monthly loss of $8.1 million for a workplace with 10,000 employees." Criminal levels of incompetence

Finally listened to the new Mastodon album, wow!!!

Liverpool FC played their first ever game on 1 September 1892, beating Rotherham Town 7-1 in a friendly at Anfield. Tom Wyllie scored a hat-trick, a sign of things to come - Tom went on to score 15 goals in 25 official games that season, including another hat-trick against Newtown in the FA Cup.

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

First night in Berlin. ❤️

Alternative headline: Andrew Willson lays off everyone who worked on successful Battlefield 6 to steal all the wealth they created.

We shared some of our reasoning for keeping generative AI out of our creative process with @aftermath.site. Respecting our players' time and attention is at the core of everything we do. If something isn't worth our time to make, it's not worth our players' time to engage with it.

That thing Jurgen said about the journalists at his press conference. We can all do stuff like that. Stuff like only dealing with companies with phone numbers or refusing to update ad preferences. We can unsubscribe from stuff. We don’t have to be spoonfed. We can call the shots.

“Don’t worry Ringo. We can edit him out later”

RIP Kevin Keegan, you always got the sense he was a good guy, and just a guy who created moments both brilliant or absurd, but regardless we are poorer for him no longer being with us www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Oz...

still watching in hopes paredes gets a medal for sorest loser

Norrlands Guld tastes great on a warm summer day. Cheers 🍻

CABLEGATE. The ball hit a camera cable during the buildup to England’s goal and play should have been whistled dead.

My cat is both curious and terrified of the outdoors. Normally he is indoors in a medium sized apartment with a balcony as the only outdoors he’s ever experienced.

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

As a Mexican, I approve!

Over the last few years, 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social has has become mildly obsessed with hustle bros and their online get rich quick scams. He goes LARPing to see how exactly they do this: Read the story here: www.404media.co/how-i-bought...

First show I’ve been to in a while. Grayscale Season. Next up: Rivers of Nihil 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

getting this power without lifting your plant foot an inch is absurd lmao

all the talk about “these groups are all sown up” and yet each group has still been interesting today anyway, for more on how the dynamics are different because of the rule changes, here are some graphs and words danny.page/mens-world-c...

“When you can look back and savour all the sweet moments with only gratitude and zero regret, that’s when you know it’s time to say goodbye.” Divock Origi announces his retirement from football. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/divock-origi-soccer-retirement-belgium-liverpool

Oh my Sweden. I can say that it is better to be at the winning end of a 5-1. We go on!! #ViÄrSverige

SD:s målbild för Sverige. Så länge man är vit får man elda.

“Fuck. she right. I gotta be better.”

Boycott the World Cup. By all means, discuss the political & human rights issues around it. *Do not watch the football. Do not treat this as business-as-usual.* I say this as someone for whom it was a huge highlight every 4 years. I've watched every tournament obsessively since 1978. I'll miss it

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Gisèle Pelicot, whose courage at trial transformed the debate around abuse, talks to @luciaoc.bsky.social about survival, reclaiming confidence – and shutting down the tools of sexual exploitation

This is changed to ‘Arne Slot deserves our respect’ blogs from people who did no such thing. Fucking hypocrites.

if the rules applied to Russia applied to the US, we shouldn’t be hosting the World Cup at all. and then they didn’t move the Iran games into Mexico / Canada. now the US is doing this? are they gonna block them from entering the country when the time comes? and what about Iranian fans?? farcical.

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

Congratulations, gunners

Liar liar pants on fire #ESC

Really enjoyed Periphery's new album: A Pale White Dot. music.apple.com/se/album/a-p...

Shared a bottle of this with some friends last week and I had to go and get myself a bottle because I really enjoyed it.

THREAD: So you may or may not recognize this little girl, but it's timely to learn about her now, as Iran's Hormuz deadlock is pushing desperate regional & global powers towards alternative trade corridors. This is Ciham Ali Abdu, an American citizen. She hasn't been seen or heard from since 2012.

There are no words. Just beautiful 😍 #karmanjakah

Going home knowing the new Karmanjakah ♥️ album has been delivered to my door. I'm gonna make sure to listen to it many times.

I thought Liverpool would lose today. Liverpool lost today. That doesn't really tell the tale though. Up the Reds.

I think everyone who thinks that it is no longer necessary to understand software engineering principles because of AI should spend a few minutes every day browsing /r/vibecoding. It's so so clear that technical skills are still worthwhile.
