This morning I created this list of Utah legislators (and official #utleg) X accounts, whether actively posting here or not. As a returning Utah resident, I want to stay more connected to state politics. If I missed any, let me know in replies ⬇️ x.com/i/lists/193749…

People saying that angry betting companies influenced Adam Silver's @utahjazz tanking fines. Bad if true. But did @BenGolliver give evidence beyond "we know how much the NBA has gotten in bed with gambling" and "I think that was one aspect ." Anything beyond podcast comments?
Jazz Fan@utahjazzfan47

“We know how much the NBA has gotten in bed with gambling” as there is BetOnline advertisement in the bottom right, is peak comedy. We have a major crisis occurring in the NBA and it’s not tanking. It’s how much influence the sports betting companies have over sporting leagues. It’s disgusting.

Short form video is a plague
PoIiMath@politicalmath

I'm so frustrated at being a parent in this garbage digital age. I hate short-form video. TikTok / YouTube trash is just pure brain-rot and I can't stand it. I try to keep my kids away from it. I gave them access to Spotify b/c I want them to enjoy music and develop their musical tastes and personalities. That was working pretty well. They would go onto Spotify on the XBox and listen to music and explore that space. Good for them. But what does Spotify do? They put short form videos into their app. Now my kids are watching the videos instead of listening to the music. I have to decide if I have to take Spotify away from them (along with all their playlists) because Spotify pulled this bait-and-switch on me and turned an app that I felt good about giving to my kids into another brain-rotting platform of garbage. Every month something like this happens. It's impossible to navigate this as a parent, even if you're largely on top of things. It's exhausting and dispiriting.

One problem with being early morning guy is that I'm looking for lunch at 9:30 am

Still remember what it felt like to be a fan back then and seeing Jimmer just nailing everything he shot, from everywhere on the floor. You would just laugh and look at other fans like “I can’t believe it either”

@0Beanie05923291 Yay. Still remember the magic of being read this book in elementary. So important to read aloud to students above the level of what they can read on their own. It gives them mega dose of advanced vocabulary & syntax plus even more background knowledge.

Two things true: 1) Música urbana is not my favorite and 2) Bad Bunny is a talent. I enjoyed it--theatrical and performance art at its finest

My only problem with Bad Bunny in the SB is that maybe he would be a little happier if he were good

@KenOno691 @DrCatharineY Purpose 1 - writing as thinking. I'm concerned about AI taking the cognitive work away from people. Purpose 2 - writing as enablement. I'm less alarmed by gen AI in enabling valuable human work. Like technical documentation, etc., more analogous to "human computer" tasks

@DrCatharineY The only 'panic' I remember was mid-exam when the screen started fading because those 9V batteries were on their last legs. 🔋💀 Serious talk: technology didn't replace the mathematician; it just fired us from being 'human computers.' LLMs writing seems quite different to me.

The debate about LLMs and writing is fascinating. I wonder if it's the same panic people felt when calculators started becoming widespread and the feared effect it would have on math? Instead of making us less mathematical, it mostly removed both the floor and the ceiling.

Feels like the Kennedy Center "renovation" and the Washington Post "restructuring" are part of the same thing

I've been asking "am I hungry, or something else" when reaching for food. If the answer is something else, then I try to name it (e.g. tired, bored, stressed). That little interruption helps, not only to avoid grazing, but to address causes more directly (e.g. take a nap!)
