i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

It makes me really happy that with all the handwringing about NIL, portal, dumb congressional labor smashing, and the rest of the miscellaneous horseshit, this sport can still deliver a truly idiotic product. Can’t break something that was never meant to work in the first place.

AI-giant IPOs are fundamentally about socializing risk at the expense of retail investors and, especially, pension and retirement funds

devastating news for below-replacement-level fascists and two-bit crooks the world over

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

we must not idealize the cheesecake factory. even with cheesecake automation, it's brutal physical labor with no rest ever since the advent of cheesecake taylorism

that’s how we do it. we lull you into a false sense of security with our stunning vistas and our green chile cheeseburgers and carne adovada and our apparent lack of a passing game and right when you‘re thinking ”ah this really is the Land of Enchantment“ BAM it’s matanza time pal and you’re the pig

split-screen Indiana/Michigan and WVU/TCU and it’s Inside You Are Two Wolves if one wolf were a top forensic accountant and the other a guy whose primary occupation is mescaline

WVU/TCU playing the platonic ideal of a Big12 game as the refs rule that a play that could easily have been a fumble followed by an antic scramble, or simply an incomplete pass, never occurred at all. they should do that more often. ”no idea what that shit was, replay the down”

they still have some but it used to be that their offense was either linemen or the fastest slot-receiver/shooting guard in the history of some high school from a dallas exurb

looking back, the nail in the coffin for me with these idiots was the holly rowe incident. i didn’t exactly expect better, but we’re allowed to hope and be disappointed. and boy howdy, weren’t we just? but, shamefully, i knew there was no chance sark would be fired over it. So fire him now!

i don't ask much. i expect the coaching staff of the longhorns to fuck up in literally incredible ways. the book of sark is written, and this its dominant theme. but goddamn boys, have the decency to fuck up PERSONALLY. don't use AI for it. i want artisanal errors. INTENTIONAL, HAND-SHIT BEDS only

now with negative sentiment bias intact: WHAT THE FUCK YOU FUCKING IDIOTS sure, why not? why build a working offense when you can construct one that objectively and luridly sucks and then let AI make the crucial decisions for you at the critical moment FIRE EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT EM OUT fuck this

suppressing my negative sentiment bias toward this Texas regime, it seems to me: 1) notionally, "AI processes tons of known data to give a directional recommendation on a playcall" is not altogether insane 2) in practice, it's a gilded invitation to drown signal in noise 3) fire Sark on the tarmac
