there are obviously a lot of issues with the use of replay in modern sports officiating but also one of the most famous moments in soccer history is when a guy just straight-up used his hand to punch the ball into the goal and the ref didn't notice it

I did actually like this bit!

The question facing AOC, or any left political actor today, should not be framed
as a simple binary between war and anti-war, or between China and Taiwan. The question that must come first is: Where are the people? How is popular sovereignty to be protected? Should the left sacrifice the freedom of thought, expression, and autonomous life of the people in order to preserve its anti-war self-image? Can more active political and diplomatic means be pursued to prevent any act of military aggression before it occurs? Can the left, in the name of human rights, work to preserve Taiwan's status as a democratic political entity in which the people exercise self-determination?

- simulations are phenomenally deficient. they arrive in disrepair and require your subjectivity to fix (this is also true of reality)

And also, very memorably, we whiffed on a major Senate pickup opportunity in North Carolina a few years ago because Cal Cunningham's groin is unsmooth.
Okay. I will defend Cal Cunningham's groin.
Go ahead. Say it.
I don't think that had anything to do with why he lost, for the record.
Okay.

Over time, OpenAI intends to ditch the prompts and features, betting that its models will be able to automatically understand users' intentions when they
are on the app or site.

I'm sure its a fine game, but the market is currently saturated with side-scrolling platformers so I feel his game may not do as good as he hopes.
