What I hate about the tech takeover in baseball is it makes it further removed from the kind of baseball played by kids in little league or makeshift diamonds. Part of the beauty was its simplicity and all levels are playing the same game. Makes it harder for kids to imagine themselves out there.

I'm just saying, there are multiple levels of emojis to express "I find this funny" before we get to 🤣. Why is this the go-to? Eyes squeezed shut, tears flying, head cocked. Demented. It's too much.
Some job news: I now work in the newly-established Federal Department of Metaphors. How are we doing so far?
Even if that were true, the dude still went to *at least* 2 UFC events, and that alone is all I need to know about someone
One satisfying experience on LinkedIn is when you get a connection request, view their profile (knowing they'll see the notification you did), seeing - based on their job and description - that they're going to try to sell you something, and hitting "Decline"
Bike fall meme ending with "I’m not a fan of Pope Leo," mocking Trump disaster in Iran and Strait of Hormuz and his lashing out at Pope Leo instead of addressing the actual problems he has created.
The Masters, Paris-Roubaix, and a Tigers game. Today is my sports Christmas.
Can you stop.
No, it's not art. Yes, it's wrong. Hope that helps.
Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah
Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen
Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah
Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him
doll hairs!?
What does a guy have to do to NOT get featured like this anymore? Who is confused about who he is now?
Apologies for the content but in honor of opening day and Skubal on the mound, allow me to share one of the last things my brother ever texted me before he passed last year.
It’s the future, it’s inevitable, just accept it, it’s the way we will all be working very soon and there is no point in trying to oh wait it sucks, no one asked for it or wants it, and it’s shutting down forever.
As a dad and homeowner with far too many hobbies, 99% of my YouTube usage is watching selfie videos of random guys breathing heavily as they walk me through the same obscure appliance, bike, toy, wiring, or car repair project I'm currently tackling. God bless 'em.
I'm trying but I really can't think of a worse clientele. I think I'd rather hang out at tiki bar near a retirement community in Florida.
His own rake I'd understand, but his own bat?
Shortly after I met my wife, she revealed she knew all the words to Palmdale. That's when I knew she was the one.
The only thing more embarrassing than Aaron Judge looking absolutely terrified and watching two meaty ones go right down the middle is... literally everything about team USA this year and their coverage. There are several players I like a whole lot less than I did a month ago.
That shadow chasing it out of the park and leaving once he crossed the plate is a damn cool shot
More cards about more dead soldiers, and Amazon kept covering the screen with recommended shows. In my haste to return to the movie, it made me restart it, which required a 2 minute commercial. What the fuck are we doing?
Paused a war movie (based on a true story) at the end to read the epilogue title cards to learn the fate of the real life soldiers. Instead, I was given a full screen ad for Friskies cat food. Bang up job, Amazon and Jeff Bezos!
I want the WBC coverage to spend equal time fawning over Paul Skenes' time at LSU as they did for the Air Force Academy. I want to hear about him destroying a seafood boil. About how he *wanted* to pilot airboats on the bayou but baseball took him from his real dream.
A Boston Red Sox player just donned a red coat for Great Britain after hitting a home run off team USA. Benedict Arnold has come for baseball.
There's also subtle proof of how little thought or effort went into this AI. It has naturally white hair. Washington was a redhead who powdered his hair white. This is what happens when you just feed an AI tons of images and no biographical information. And we're supposed to listen to it?
"I won't pretend to speak for them... but I WILL allow this techbro atrocity that's more akin to Craig T. Nelson than Washington to speak for them."
Not the most important element of this but I grew up on the "Drop off your resume in person and shake their hand" advice and when I did that after graduating college I was met with confusion and what I perceived as suppressed laughter by several employees
