🤬“Those f***ing Ukrainians, for f***’s sake!” Or was it “That f***ing Ukrainian b***h, for f***’s sake!”?
These are the words 🏳️ Aryna Sabalenka appears to be saying in Russian, judging by her lip movements during her WTA Finals match against 🇺🇦 Elina Svitolina.
What a remarkable display of respect and sportsmanship from the world No. 2.
But sure, let's keep asking Ukrainian players why they refuse to shake hands with their Russian and Belarusian opponents.
Apparently, that's still the bigger problem in tennis.

That press conference by Duffy was disgusting. The nation is in the midst of a crisis and needs answers and reassurance. Instead we got a string of demands and accusations in a political speech intended only as a cover for Trump. This is what the American people just repudiated.

I wonder if the Microsoft Outlook engineers are stuck in their own vicious cycle of Authenticator prompts?

7 mecz finałów WTA w Indian Wells.
Poza meczem Pegula - Gauff niski a nawet bardzo niski poziom. Dziewczyny jakby nie w sosie. Niektóre wyglądają na zmęczone, inne ospałe…, Svito jakby w ogóle nie chciała tam być, Kostiuk jakby wystarczyło, że dostąpiła zaszczytu wejścia na korty od pierwszego meczu, Saba średni poziom… jedynie Noskova i Andreeva grają dobry tenis i być może to one zagrają finał ???
Masa DF, UE… ech… nawet komentatorzy mają problem, żeby o czymś mówić. Nie może kleić się komentarz, skoro gra na korcie też się nie klei.
Mnóstwo ludzi kpi z Igi, że nie weszła do gry.
Niektórzy uważają, że miałaby szansę… nie wiem skąd pewność, że właśnie Iga byłaby w wybitnej formie, skoro inne nie są????
Niech ten sezon już się kończy, bo to już takie „wesele z okolic 4 nad ranem”…
Dziewczyny niby najlepsze w sezonie a w zasadzie jak niedobitki na parkiecie…
Byle do Brisbane.

Ancient Roman music is the most unsettling shit I’ve ever heard in my life
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The music is not from a surviving score. It is new music based on guesswork.

Prediction markets are about to get cracked down on here in the U.S.⚡️

The thing I keep returning to after watching the Musk documentary is not the fraud, not the lies about self-driving cars, not the staged battery swap in 2013 or the “flying car” demo in October. It is the question of how a person becomes this.
You lie, the market rewards the lie, you lie bigger, the market rewards you bigger, the people around you who could stop you get fired or leave, and after about fifteen years of this you no longer know you are lying. You believe you are correct, and “correct” in your head now means correct about the shape of the future, about who should run things, about which humans matter.
That is the god complex, which is a trained response to a market that would not say no.

Actual intelligence.
Preferably combined with critical thinking, scientific literacy and the ability to distinguish evidence from confidently generated nonsense.

Instead of spending billions creating artificial intelligence, could we try investing in actual intelligence?

Best piece I've read on why Ossoff will be our next President
Every post-midterm prediction market says Ossoff will be our next President.
A dispatch from the start of his inevitable campaign...

HEAVY LAKE-EFFECT SNOW HAMMERS MARQUETTE COUNTY, MICHIGAN!
The first measurable lake-effect snow event of the season across the Great Lakes is underway this Friday morning, with large flakes blanketing Marquette County. Wet roadways, snow-covered vehicles, and a fresh coating of snow across the ground and trees are creating a true winter scene across the Upper Peninsula.
Winter has officially arrived in the Upper Peninsula! @WxWiseApp @ryanhallyall

Republicans will spend time and treasure, likely years and millions of dollars, for consultants and experts and pundits to find out what went wrong and how this happened. Save your money and don’t waste your time. The answer came 10 years ago by a Senator from South Carolina who didn’t live to see his prophetic words come to pass. “If we nominate Donald Trump we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it.” Republicans blew up their party, their values, their dignity and decency for a man who wasn’t even a Republican. Unilateral tariffs on our allies by executive orders isn’t conservative. Siding with Vladimir Putin’s murderous war in Ukraine isn’t conservative. Accepting a bribe from a foreign country in the form of an airplane that costs hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t conservative. Turning untrained thugs in masks loose in our communities to murder American citizens in cold blood isn’t conservative. Threatening to invade and conquer a sovereign country, an ally, isn’t conservative. Pardoning people who assaulted law enforcement officers isn’t conservative. The list is too long and too exhausting to contemplate. Republican law makers lit themselves on fire for a thrice married, sociopathic, mentally unstable reality tv personality who bragged about acing a test to check for dementia and spoke about the asses of male candidates for the US Senate. There was a time when I believed we should welcome any of them who finally spoke up back into polite society. But that ship has sailed. These people should live in shame for the rest of their days, shunned and repudiated in history books, never to hold a position that requires the public trust ever again.
