Long as he’s healthy this award is a lock for the next many years. Freak of a dude I love/hate him so much.

So I guess this expands Wrigely’s fowl territory

Good one Joshy!!!!!!

Ah, yeah he’s not. Goldsmith sounds like what I suspect Mark Followill (Mavs announcer), sounds like when he’s on a national broadcast. I can always hear his love of the Mavs in those games even though he’s doing everything he can to be neutral. 😂

Also he just clearly knows the Mariners very well.

Not a super fun dfw sports day today. Rangers can come back but it’s not looking good.

What? I gotta go look at whose voice I’m not recognizing cause I thought I knew all our guys?

Way to persist, man. Congrats & cheers 🍻

These announcers for this Rangers game sound like Mariners homers who are being forced to try to sound kind of neutral for the national audience.

Everything they say positively about the Rangers is immediately followed by a massive hedge.

Hockey dumb

Hmm lots of folks picking the Wild is making me nervous 😥

Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

get your caffeine of choice now

The stress of playoff hockey isn’t enough?? 😫

Late Burger bomb puts em back in it!

Seager ties it!!!

Doe had broken up with the user in 2024, and he used ChatGPT to process the split, according to emails and communications cited in the lawsuit. Rather than push back on his one-sided account, it repeatedly cast him as rational and wronged, and her as manipulative and unstable. He then took these AI-generated conclusions off the screen and into the real world, using them to stalk and harass her. This manifested in several AI-generated, clinical-looking psychological reports that he distributed to her family, friends, and employer.

For months, her then-fiancé and partner of several years had been fixating on her and their relationship with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In mid-2024, she explained, they’d hit a rough patch as a couple; in response, he turned to ChatGPT, which he’d previously used for general business-related tasks, for “therapy.” Before she knew it, she recalled, he was spending hours each day talking with the bot, funneling everything she said or did into the model and propounding on pseudo-psychiatric theories about her mental health and behavior. He started to bombard the woman with screenshots of his ChatGPT interactions and copy-pasted AI-generated text, in which the chatbot can be seen armchair-diagnosing her with personality disorders and insisting that she was concealing her real feelings and behavior through coded language. The bot often laced its so-called analyses with flowery spiritual jargon, accusing the woman of engaging in manipulative “rituals.” Trying to communicate with her fiancé was like walking on “ChatGPT eggshells,” the woman recalled. No matter what she tried, ChatGPT would “twist it.” “He would send [screenshots] to me from ChatGPT, and be like, ‘Why does it say this? Why would it say this about you, if this is not true?'” she recounted. “And it was just awful, awful things.”

Shortly after moving out, the former fiancé began to publish multiple videos and images a day on social media accusing the woman of an array of alleged abuses — the same bizarre ideas he’d fixated on so extensively with ChatGPT. In some videos, he stares into the camera, reading from seemingly AI-generated scripts; others feature ChatGPT-generated text overlaid on spiritual or sci-fi-esque graphics. In multiple posts, he describes stabbing the woman. In another, he discusses surveilling her. (The posts, which we’ve reviewed, are intensely disturbing; we’re not quoting directly from them or the man’s ChatGPT transcripts due to concern for the woman’s privacy and safety.) The ex-fiancé also published revenge porn of the woman on social media, shared her full name and other personal information, and doxxed the names and ages of her teenage children from a previous marriage. He created a new TikTok dedicated to harassing content — complete with its own hashtag — and followed the woman’s family, friends, and neighbors, as well as other teens from her kids’ high school. “I’ve lived in this small town my entire life,” said the woman. “I couldn’t leave my house for months… people were messaging me all over my social media, like, ‘Are you safe? Are your kids safe? What is happening right now?'”

A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.)

This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):

The way Bacsik was talking about this pitcher it felt like he was preparing us for a loss.

Instead they’re lassoing all over the bases & it’s already 1-0 with another runner on.

I think they won the title together in college, which is awesome & means they know how to play with each other & succeed.

I'm hoping they get whatever they need from their coaches & individual support systems to compartmentalize personal & professional so that whatever happens, they're both good.

my favorite factoid about Azzi Fudd is that she's named after Jennifer Azzi, who was on the '96 national team and is herself a big ol lesbian

I for sure am. They should be fun & potentially really good too. I also learned today that Azzi & Paige are dating, which is WILD.

I tuned in a bit for the first time last year after they got Paige & am actually really looking forward to this season after these offseason moves they made.

The Dallas Wings' two best players are about to have a big gay summer Azzi Fudd is a Dallas Wing, and my gay heart couldn't be happier.

I understand the myriad reasons why a lot of outlets chose not to make hay out of Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd's relationship. I, however, love gay women so I blogged about how happy it made me here:

I once sent my evangelical dad an article (back in 2020 before the election) of the similarities between the signs of the Antichrist & Trump & he shrugged it off as ridiculous.

He hates Trump now so I’m kind of curious to bring it up again. I assume he’d still think it silly but maybe not.

Wait I just realized & then double checked another fckn thing.

They are BOTH horses in the lunar new year calendar because they are 12 years apart exactly. JFC

(I’m a horse too, so that’s just more fun).

No fckn way!

I thought this was jokes, but the Max Muncy’s, who BOTH currently play in the MLB at the SAME position, & who the Rangers are playing back-to-back, were BOTH born on August 25th, & apparently they BOTH started with the same team?!?

How is this not evidence that we’re in a simulation?

Wait, there are TWO Max Muncy’s, not just in the world but in the MLB?? And they both play the same position?? And the Rangers are playing their separate teams back to back??

This is the kinda weird shit that makes me think maybe this is all a simulation.

That’s just bonkers.

BURGERS TO GO!!

What a get. Look at those arms 👀

She & Dwight Powell should train together.

Orban lost & the Rangers avoid the sweep with a win, it’s a good Sunday.

Ballgame!

He sure is challenging now & when he does he’s right & it’s huge. Let’s finish this thing, Rangers.
