Plastic surgery is most noticeable when it's bad, so it's more widespread and successful than it looks.
Same with AI writing.

Good Adam Tooze piece on Perry Mehrlin's very important work on money. There is a very big difference between a global view of national economies and a national view of the global economy, and in what Dani Rodrik calls our "hyperglobalized" world, the former provides the much greater insight.

Mobutu Sese Seku is the sort of comparator that describes this scale and extent of corruption
Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate-- then were told to lay off. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Special teams really have cost the 49ers against the Seahawks in the past few matchups.

MLB’s CBA fight has a financial clock - and it may run out at 60 games.
Owners are pushing for a salary cap and may be willing to sacrifice games to get it.
But if a 2027 lockout costs 60+ games, most of MLB’s national TV/streaming deals could be extended through 2029.
Why does that matter?
Well, MLB wants to centralize team streaming rights and share that revenue across the league, a major future media payday.
A prolonged lockout could delay it.
Owners may be willing to lose games for a new CBA. They may be less willing to lose media revenue.

Mike Ditka was scheduled to sing the seventh inning stretch on July 5th, 1998. This was the year that Harry Caray died and the “guest conductor” was new at Wrigley Field. Ditka got stuck in traffic and was running late. By the time the top of the seventh ended, Ditka was still not there and Steve Stone and Chip Caray stalled for time. Finally Ditka busts into the press box, grabs the mic, and screams Take Me Out To The Ball Game in twenty two seconds! Organist Gary Pressy could barely keep up! The crowd roared with approval! R.I.P. Mike Ditka

JD Vance making clear the U.S. wants no part of the fighting in Yemen, refers to Saudi Arabia and the UAE as countries that are affected by it, conspicuously leaving the U.S. out of that list.
The U.S. ruthlessly pummeled Ansarallah last year and it had no effect at all. Looks like we have no plans to touch that hot stove again.

I’m not trying to be offensive. But in the AI conversation we’re not talking about superintelligence but something closer to superautism.Silicon Valley guys create software designed to relentlessly pursue a goal, be deaf to social cues, and then are surprised when the software turns out to ignore catastrophes that would have made a human reconsider their plan.

I can’t believe the crossovers happening. But more of this, please. Stop mystifying the technology. Stop thinking through sci fi tropes and be particularly skeptical about anthropomorphizations like “agents”’and “swarms.” The technical reality is far more mundane. Try to remember these are companies developing products and services. We have laws and institutions to restrain or punish them for fraud, property damage, deceptions, etc.

The 49ers' training staff cleared De'Zhaun Stribling to return to the field even though he had a deltoid sprain in his ankle. So he returned and made it worse.
The 49ers need a new training staff. si.com/nfl/49ers/onsi/49ers-…

"[Vladimir Guerrero Jr.] has hit in 19 double plays this season, second-most in MLB... that's the story of [his] season. He's been a rally killer."
@JDBunkis sounds off following the Blue Jays' shutout loss to the Athletics.

This is illegal. And no one will do a thing about it.
President Donald Trump pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The promise, made at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, could cost over $1 trillion and would require congressional approval. apnews.com/article/trump-div…
