went to four games this year and he looks like QWOP IRL, like the physics are all wrong or AI, but also he shoots threes and dunks

long live the revolution! for like almost three hours

👋 Introducing Roundabout: built for neighbors, with neighbors New_ Public’s app for local communities enters closed beta in five pilot communities

We're making a new local social platform with local folks, for local folks. It's called Roundabout. Today we kicked off a closed beta in 5 local communities across the US. Read how we're working w/ local stewards to design something people need & want to use!

my family is from Refugio, a spanish town name so extremely mispronounced that even Amarillo is in awe. also, Nolan Ryan was born there. can confirm it’s a mean town, but only because we had to play football against them.

trees are cool

New_ Public’s Guiding Principles for AI We learn in public through transparency. We keep humans in the driver's seat. We navigate AI's inherent biases. We embrace friction and slow, intentional thinking. We navigate nuance and complexity by cultivating a flexible, evolving approach. We design for pluralism and center the public good. We empower our team through continuous learning and open dialogue.

Like many small nonprofits, we’ve been experimenting with using AI tools so that we can focus on our mission of reinforcing human connections, conversations, and communities.

We remain mindful of the harms and risks of AI, and have developed a set of guiding principles grounded in our values.

One of the top reasons I love building at @newpublic.org is all the research, the core of how they work. SO MUCH RESEARCH. This work, led by @taliastroud.bsky.social (hook 'em horns) has already directly influenced decisions we've made with our new local social platform. Sign up and check it out.

I thought the fuzzy top on the first day was the tribute tbh

was kinda hoping baseball wouldn’t end

myles straw probably gonna walk this off, thats what kind of game this is

two bases loaded situations in a row with a close review? sure

just an unreal ninth inning

time for a world series walkoff hbp

feel like WS bullpen management should consider WBC impact

gutty AB from Barger

The players don’t want to live without the distraction of baseball, either.

Shoutout to Smoltz for saying "you don't mind if he gets a hit here, you just can't walk him" lol

this sets the Jays up to walk it off

18 innings here we come

no way

the string of ace starters making relief appearances in WS games should come out like wrestling surprise entrants with the music and everything, a shocked batter’s mouth dropping open at the plate

hello old friend, as a way to relax from watching that game vs Vandy at DKR today I’m watching some low stakes, chill baseball 🥃

just gonna assume Jeff Hoffman is Trevor’s son since Jays have/had Guerrero, Bichette and Biggio

Muncy CRUSHED that ball

3-6-3 double plays must be so satisfying for the 1B, but that one was flawless

baseball is on the tee vee

Vlad in particular seems to be playing at a different level

Jays have made some killer defensive plays in this game

its Trey time

I just expect Springer to hit a single in every AB now
