Bron gotta be watching this thinking he should go back one more time

Refs want the Cavs in it

My 2 cents on foul-baiting/flopping: It’s always been perfectly within the rules to do it. But it’s always just been up to players to have the self-respect and integrity to not over-do it. Like, honestly, a well-timed occasional strategic flop, I can accept. But when it becomes a hallmark of your whole game, when you’re seeking it out every time or every other time you touch the ball… That’s when sportsmanship is killed by gamesmanship. That’s when winning becomes completely divorced from ethics. That’s when the game becomes unwatchable. That’s when the rules have to change. When players can no longer be trusted to reasonably govern themselves, that’s when official governance has to be increased. Same thing happens in all aspects of society, when you think about it. And that’s just unfortunate. Something here has to change.

Did y’all know Drake’s find your love was originally for Rihanna… Written by Kanye West, Rih & No I.D (Kanye’s earliest mentors) Drake heard Rihanna’s version that she recorded & wanted it for himself so he got it. 🫪

Imagine hearing “I’m going to make a song to step to about walls, but it’s also going to represent the vagina of a woman I’m sleeping with, who just so happens to be the baby mama of the dude in prison serving life for killing my friend in sing about me and I’m going to visit him in jail and let him know how much his girl now loves me” LOL he really was misusing his influence.

I have six daughters. They bring out a gentleness and silliness that is very different than the dynamic I have with their brother. I pretend with them, read books with silly voices, and take them shopping in their princess dresses. But they have never painted my nails, put makeup on me, or covered me in glitter. I am their dad, not their doll.

This is gold

It’s upsetting to watch so many people be led to believe a software feature created from human exhaust is an alien intelligence. It’s a psyop. LLMs are a clever way to compress and search large databases with patterns. They have now inhaled effectively all of human knowledge. From this point, there will be spikes of improvement in narrow areas, but the big models are already collapsing from inhaling their own exhaust. The core technology is at least 40 years old. Neural networks are nothing new. We’re just attaching obscene amounts of computing and data to them. The physical nature of an LLM is literally just a database of tokens (word parts) and weights (relationships) that can be queried. It is not magic. It can be made deterministic by setting the entropy aka temperature to zero. It is a clever way to store an immense amount of data and retrieve it through token predicting. “Agents” are just LLMs being queried in a loop. They take exponentially more energy and suffer the same problems as chatbots—hallucinations and sycophancy—but exponentially more complicated to solve. In reality, it’s all a category error. It’s a mirage created by the desire of a small group of elites to build a technological and financial moat around themselves. “AGI” is the McGuffin, the plot device, to serve as the messiah that will deliver people from the toils of everyday life. The broligarchs are trying to sell us our own replacements. According to them, we won’t have to drive, or work, or think anymore. The robots and AI will all do it for us. It’s the oldest con there is: magic beans. Your chatbot is not your Jesus or your girlfriend. Your Claude instance is not intelligent. It’s a search engine for human knowledge stolen from the internet and the destruction of physical books. So please understand. You are witnessing the biggest financial bubble in all of human history based on deceptive marketing, astroturfing, and cult dynamics. You are not witnessing the birth of a new intelligence. Unfortunately, that’s a battle we’re losing.

the idea of one of the biggest artists in the world tapping into multiple regional sounds is really cool on paper. for me, the problem with the way Drake does it is it always feels very...cheap? latching on to a wave or in this case, using the spirit of Mac Dre, one of our most beloved icons in The Bay, as a surface level chess piece to disrespect California (something he already did with 2Pac of all people). it conflates very rich regional sub-genres and cultures with fleeting, transactional moments. Rest In Peace Mac Dre & Tupac Shakur.

Having a double barrelled surname used to mean your parents both came from good families but now if just means your mother is difficult

One of my fav MJ performances ever because you can really hear his kid voice transitioning into his adult voice. The way his brothers look at him with pride…ugh 🥹

She’s 56 and thinking like she’s a teenager in high school… It’s a whole new world….

Kanye West’s alternate intro to ‘Flashing Lights’ is genuinely the best piece of raw music in existence 🤯

Planets in 8th and 12th houses make endings feel unfinished. Conversations end, but internally it keeps going. You replay, process, release in layers. Others move on fast, you're still integrating what actually happened.

That might be the filthiest pool shot I’ve ever witnessed.

As Dostoevsky said, a man with no money and a woman without physical beauty both see the world without delusions.

$68k?!

it may seem counterintuative but here is the reality. Having multiple wives fixes this. Just the IDEA that you are capaple of getting multiple wives is enough to keep the intimacy regular. When I say capable, I don't mean you want it and talk about it, I mean that she KNOWS you can get another woman on board... She will either leave, or keep you happy to your level of satisfaction. If she leaves and isn't having sex with you... what did you lose? Replace her and you will win. If she ups the frequency to your desire, you win... Multiple women is a win win for you...
