baseball is the sport of BDSM

The #Brewers were more likely to win tonight’s 4-3 11-inning loss than they were to win yesterday’s 10-1 blowout. Just sick sick stuff.

how many games did those other three teams have to win, Optastats (goose chasing meme)

The Rays are the fourth team in World Series history with an extra-inning comeback to stave off elimination. The other three all went on to win the series (1912 Red Sox, 1986 Mets, 2011 Cardinals). 🐦 https://x.com/OptaSTATS/status/2115301938040332367

it's 'champing at the bit'

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

As someone who needs a translator for whatever the tech people are talking about, this was quite helpful as an explanation

Xbox news: We have fired 173% of our staff and shuttered all development studios. Our next console will cost 1-3 limbs. Sony news: The Last of Us ReReRemastered is a live service cutscene with 3 battle passes. The deluxe edition is an empty tupperware container. Nintendo news: New switch sports :)

just realized that YouTube is doing the language auto-dubbing for the trivia videos I produce and it makes for some surreal viewing experiences

Dear MLB dot com: At some point you're not allowed to use the word 'just' in this context, and I think you've passed it

Because of the inner logic of the show, The West Wing had to simultaneously reference historical presidents while creating a 'new canon' for the previous few presidents before Bartlett AND have elections take place in the wrong years in order to line up with when they premiered the series

This post is unavailable.

which means that at some point in The West Wing Universe, Congress ratified a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT that would change when elections happened while also not having a reason to do so SO MONUMENTAL that it would radically alter the trajectory of the nation

This is identity theft and I am considering all available legal avenues

they can't act on their own, they cannot go rogue. they are computer programs that do what they are programmed to do. they're as responsible for their actions as a grenade is for exploding after somebody pulls the pin

(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

Years ago i was working the cash register at a convention booth where Carrie Fisher was signing autographs, and there was a dead period where neither of us were doing anything. I didn't take the opportunity to say hello, and it will forever haunt me.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
