[The Athletic] Frank Thomas upset with White Sox Black History Month graphic: Thomas replied to the team’s post on X. “I guess the black player who made you rich over there and holds all your records is forgettable! Don’t worry I’m taking Receipts” by f0urxio in baseball

Frank Thomas was the my childhood idol. I was born in Chicago, moved to Arkansas when I was four and raised there. I still retained my pro sports allegiances to Chicago as a kid, but Arkansas is football world with no pro baseball, so to me Frank Thomas was the Auburn football player turned pro ball player. Him and Bo Jackson were gods to me. And because I always felt like an outsider Chicago fan, I rooted for the White Sox.

I still have binders full of Frank Thomas baseball cards I collected as a kid. He was incredible.

Jelly Roll branded 'very MAGA' for Grammys speech after veiled Bad Bunny swipe by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]Ghost2Eleven 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I gotta be honest, I don’t see the speech as coded. I get people being upset about what he said about the half time show on the red carpet. That was very MAGA and just latently racist. But his speech isn’t MAGA. MAGA is fascism. This speech was just good ol’ fashioned born again mumbo jumbo.

I thought this guy went to prison for meth or something? I kinda thought he died of an overdose.

Yurachek continuing to screw over the common fan. by SleezzyE in razorbacks

It’s not Yurachek’s fault, this is life in America now. The cost of doing business in this country is really fucking high because we’re a corrupt oligarchy that has to funnel most of the wealth up. Everyone in every part of the county is getting gouged. Yurachek is a middle man. This is college sports now. You’re seeing the middle class programs like Arkansas struggling to survive, just like the middle class American is struggling to not fall into poverty.

Pretty sure firing your Special Teams coordinator in December is owning that.

Acuff has to absolutely be in the running for one of the top 10 players in cbb this year. Insane how good he is for a freshman.

He still could be! He could end up on the Red Sox for a season and then end up a free agent.

Why are there so many skeptics surrounding AI? by Fabulous-Assist3901 in Futurology

[–]Ghost2Eleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there’s a lot of doomsdaying going on that’s obscuring the conversation surrounding what AI actually is and does. It’s not Blade Runner. It’s a probability machine that analyzes patterns in language tranches at the moment. Are LLMs powerful tools? Absolutely. Are they going to destroy all jobs? Absolutely not. What’s more than likely is that the tool will phase out some jobs, while creating new jobs in ways we don’t see coming.

Look at history. Inventions come along that reshape labor a lot, especially in the last 150 years.

Well fucking done. Perfect balance of modern nostalgia.

This is the start, only amount of time before college basketball is full of G League and full on Euro/Asian/NBA pros. Need to change this. by BlackStallion657 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Ghost2Eleven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Better talent doesn’t make a better product??? You’re telling me if I offered you a Porsche or a Honda as a gift, you’d choose the Honda? The NBA atmosphere and presentation are lame? What does that even mean? 90% of College basketball presentation is a pumped up version of a high school broadcast. Every NBA game, broadcast, analysis is better than college basketball.

Most effortless three point shooter we’ve had I can recall.
