San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Wemby has been playing angry all season. He's a total dog. "rat poision" my ass. We are here and we are now. Ask Chet Holmgren's bitchass. That said - like I said earlier - this team isn't winning a title - yet. You have to get fucked up in the playoffs a couple times first. Gangster.

AI and suggestion
That seems reductionist. A lot of people may never take that journey in the first place. My knowledge is almost as comprehensive as it comes, so for me, maybe AI points out something in the weeds that I had never come across. I mean just from that one prompt there are multiple albums that I may want to check out. I've been playing around with it a bit more and gave it a fairly recent song that I love and it returned a couple of albums I liked a lot from when I was in high school. That is a commentary on myself that I otherwise wouldn't have obtained. "Why do I like this song so much? What else is like it?" "You like it because it reminds you of when you were 17" I could piss money at a therapist for a year before they told me anything like that. Granted platforms like Spotify already kind of do this with suggestions and autoplay but having it be more targeted appears to be much more rewarding. Mess around with it, man. I think you'd be surprised. Chat GPT wanted money from me but Perplexity appears to be freeish? so far. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/i-really-like-the-song-asking-SdWMcx6HQCCuCguHDPM4Zw

AI and suggestion
Of those listed, I love The National although that isn't one of my favorite albums of theirs. Channel Orange is one of the greatest albums of all time and I adore "Carrie and Lowell". Everyone knows about OK Computer already.

AI and suggestion
I know a lot of people are in a hurry to demean and bemoan any and every use of AI but the fact is that it is here to stay and we are entering a transhuman era. Myself, I have bristled at the notion in general and a lot of its applications, but I may as well lean into it a bit more. I'm obviously not a famous musician but I sing and songwrite and listen to a lot and a line came into my head. Generally I'll just fantasize or write something like that down or maybe try and write a song. I had a thought, though, what if I generate a prompt out of this and see what "AI" can do with it? So I did that. And... the result was pretty fucking cool and featured a couple albums and artists that I already love. Crazy time to be alive.

Pop Tarts Bowl - BYU vs GT
I just don't think Tech played anyone all season. Miami and SMU were the best ACC teams this year metrics-wise and the ACC being dogshit is a huge talking point from everyone. I do think TT is good I just worry about them under the lights against a real opponent.

I'm a little nervous if I'm a (Texas) Tech fan.

What are you listening to right now?
These guys kick total fucking ass live, btw. In case anyone gets the chance.

Foo Fighters or The Killers?
Great comment. My last bump was mainly just to fuck with y'all. Rep for hating the Doors.

San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Yeah I'd get him a Roku stick or some such and create a log in for him and set up FanDuel on his TV. If you have cable he can probably just use your login or maybe y'all can share? Not saying he's a charity case but you could also just reach out to the org through direct channels or social media - assuming they don't have too many "elderly uncles" needing TV service 😉

Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
Oh shut the fuck up.

Michigan is about to get housed. Everyone is pissing their pants over this game meanwhile Arch is playing and Michigan doesn't have a HC. This is going to be a dick-whipping.

It takes a lot of guts to come out and admit that you have no sense of humor and/or might be retarded.

Building a gaming PC
It's not like any of those parts are getting less expensive. What would be the point in selling it? That rig will hold up for another 5 years easy probably.

Wow what an original and fresh take. I'm so glad you posted this here. Do you have a newsletter we could maybe subscribe to? iirc Nansen is calling the D with Muschamp "observing".

Kevin Durant Longhorn Legend
I think he's only missed like 2 games so far, too (knock on wood). And he's still an elite man defender. Points list update. Giving him 25 a night he will catch Wilt in 8 games, Dirk in 14 games, and MJ in 43 (doable this season if he can play ~70 games).

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
It's not Utah's "trash". I doubt Utah fans really wanted him gone.

Spider bite
Oh my God that's such a classic episode. Doesn't he have to start drinking while he's envenomed so the withdrawals don't kill him?

There ya go. Right out of the Kiffin dog playbook.

No no... this just reopens the investigation. "Oh shit so it was a white player that knocked her up"

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Holy fuck can y'all do this in the Mavs or AD thread? I've read this same Brunson shit 20 times at this point. Let's do Simms/Applewhite while we're at it.

San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Good stuff (as always) from Lowe and Goldsberry. Especially for any of the more casual fans that are just now tuning in or want a deeper dive on the matchup.

What happened to the cute golfer?

Arch needs to be used to playing more than 12 games in a season.
