the big “innovation” of the tech boom of the 2010s was misclassifying employees

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Again, old!

Oh god I can’t unsee it and I hate this so much that I think if anyone from either of our families try to procreate we should stop it immediately 🤝

Do you think if the whole country at the same time sang that Higher And Higher song this whole administration would liquify into actual positive energy like on ghostbusters 2? We should try that. Has anybody tried this yet? What is everyone doing Friday at noon? It’s not NOT worth trying?

That’s where my money goes every year.

(The team logo truly sucks)

I like collars, but the 3 stripes (like in 99) would have been better. 2 just looks like a Fred Perry polo. Which, given the political donations we know about makes sense. Gross.

Also I didn’t mind it being plain until I saw the other teams with some dope patterns. LAFC is incredible.

Logo sucks 🗑️

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

Is Shronk at Davos securing the big sublimation deal on coolmax fabric?

I’m saying *when the deal ends* don’t renew the partnership. Move MLS to peacock. You’d just get it for free there, as a stm. With bonus content more related (EPL) you might actually watch once in a while as a soccer fan. And vice versa for EPL fans.

Peacock would be a more symbiotic partnership.

Fair play, the original thread was on Apple doing dumb intra-subscription stuff.

But what you and I are discussing holds. This deal continues to be a failure, except to pay Messi. (Also bad for the league except shirt sales)

🦚 EPL fans: Oh, I get mls now. Might check it out
MLS non-ticket fans: It’s def worth it, I’ll get EPL too
MLS ticket fans: Sweet, 🦚 is clearly the soccer app
General soccer fans: That’s the one, I’ll get 2 leagues, it’s worth it.

MLS wins, Peacock wins.

Neither has OG programs that move the 🪡

Missing the point. As 2 businesses: 🍎 would like to add subscribers that pay, not sunk cost partnership free people like you and I, that don’t have 🍎📺. MLS wants more people watching games, new people who just tune in …like chanel surfers on broadcast.
If steaming is a must, go with existing ⚽️ app.

Yeah, but without my tickets there is a zero chance I’m buying the package. If I don’t renew and it’s on the same service as other soccer, I’m considering it.

Why would I watch MLS when the only team I care about I have tickets to be there?

It’s still a more reasonable audience targeting than a bloated Apple offering that doesn’t have ANYthing else I want. Overflow from boredom/morbid curiosity is better than a zero chance of overflow.

Unrelated point/idea: Get off apple. If you must have a steaming deal, get on peacock where the Premier League already is.
PL Mornings into MLS After Dark Saturdays means never leaving the app.

If it means losing Messi, bonus.

ICE agents to begin checking documents at MSP airport, patrol jet bridges - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

I can only hear “Welcome To Jamrock” 🎶

The one totally meaningless thing that would completely rule would be if the pope excommunicated jd Vance. Low stakes, would change nothing, but would provoke a lot of really funny reactions from people I universally hate. It would be really great. He should do it.

ICE versions of events should be understood like misspellings in spam texts--they're not for you, they're for a very carefully cultivated audience dumb enough to accept anything they say

Today, one developer used Microsoft copilot to do a repetitive coding task. It invented unrequested languages to satisfy the request.

I used Google Gemini to do a different repetitive coding task. It sometimes failed to even do the task I stated quite clearly.

We must need more AI training.
