@AngieMentink Mariners fan who watches every game here — you did nothing wrong. You were brainstorming. People are trying to turn this into something because that’s how they get attention but don’t lose a minute’s sleep over it.

Currently asking AI how to handle going viral for using AI. 😅
In all seriousness, I'm late to the AI party. Earlier this season I experimented with AI to see if it had any questions to add to my list for my postgame coverage. We've come a long way from pen and paper when I started in 1997
Always learning.

A quick tip for home reno DIYers: Board dimensions are not what they seem. A 2×4 is actually 1.5×3.5; a 10” board will be 9 & 1/4”. Think of those dimensions as the board’s name — like the board is named “Phil” — and you still have to ask: “Phil, what are your dimensions?”

I understand why people look at Trump and think “could the 25th Amendment possibly save us from this multidimensional hell?” Unfortunately, I think the answer is a flat “no”.

The staffer who made Netanyahu’s Powerpoint that convinced Trump to go to war: “They said ‘just have the text come up on the screen. It doesn’t need to fade in & spin in & zoom in from the side.’ I ignored them all! Never underestimate the persuasive power of text animations!”

I would also point out that giving 70% probability to a thing that doesn't happen isn't even "wrong".

"I think Nate is dumb because his election forecast was wrong" is one of the single best predictors for someone being an absolutely brainless idiot I've literally never seen it said by someone who wasn't a grifter, completely brain-poisoned, or a total moron. 100% hit rate.

@jasonfurman @nytopinion I am humbled and honored to be the first person to post this meme in the comments:

My @nytopinion piece discusses the failures of Trump's strategy to create manufacturing jobs--but puts it in the broader context of the previous failures to achieve this goal and why it isn't the right goal to start with.

I’ll save you some time on the Iran address:
• It’s Biden’s fault
• 48 hours
• Two weeks
• Some incoherent gibberish
• We’ve won
• We are way ahead of schedule
• It’s a little excursion
• We have obliterated them
• We’ve knocked out all their ships
• I could open up the Strait of Hormuz
• Go get your own oil
• They gave us a present
• NATO are cowards
• Something about Nuclear weapons
• Allies are useless
• We need allies
• Nobody’s ever seen anything like it
• Fake news
• DEMOCRATS
• Obama
• More gibberish
• I know more than the generals
• Greatest foreign policy ever
Am I missing anything?

In the history of things that never happened, nothing has ever happened less

RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map..

A robot couldn't stop dancing at a HaiDiLao Hotpot restaurant in Cupertino, California, sending food and chopsticks flying despite the best efforts of three staff members.

@DKThomp You don’t see this one much anymore but it was huge for a while: It shows wave height from the 2011 earthquake off the coast of Japan but was circulated as showing radiation coming from the nuclear plant that was damaged by the quake.

This is an easy nomination for the Mt Rushmore of viral misleading charts for reasons I’ll link below (but basically: “mental hosp population = lotta older women/prison pop = lotta young men”)
Which got me thinking: What are the other top viral misleading graphs these days?

@Nowooski Yes; obviously I know nothing but I worry that the most committed people in the opposition are dead or in jail.

The real hole in the air-power-decapitation-leading-to-protests-toppling-the-government strategy is that the government massacred the protesters last month.
