They just gotta keep taking 2/3 for most of the month of May and they'll be right back in it. Long season... just hope it doesn't get really short if they get swept this weekend and then go about 3-10 over the first half of the month.

Well, they've won 3 in a row now, so that's a plus. That being said, I probably just re-jinxed them back into a 10 game losing streak.
I may proudly put on my "Wuhan Institute of Virology" shirt later today.

I like when the stock market goes down. INVESTMENT TIME!!!!
Also, tariffs are fluid. Donald Trump is the master of the art of the deal. Today, the EU has already proposed that they'll go in on 0 tariffs for American goods if the USA reciprocates.

I get the sense that Trump doesn't want tariffs long term. He is using them as a tool for other countries to come down on tariffs on American goods.

Also, for my liberal friends. If tariffs are so bad and are a dumb idea, why are all the other countries doing it to american goods?
Whoopsies - conundrum.

woof - this team. Starting 0-6 and probably going 0-7 tonight.
We have 9 runs, tied with the Rockies, as the worst in the league.

oof - this season might be BAD. Lot of baseball to play but looks like they're still in the offseason.
... and ONLY if you have a phone from the last 2 iterations.
I have an apple iphone 14 pro max and really want that cool new animation just so it can defer to chatgpt.

It does it on my ipad pro but not my phone - meh.

I think most youtuber's and tech articles have done a very thorough job of bashing the hell out of Siri and Apple on this topic, honestly.

Apple has come out and said that they missed the mark. They have a class action lawsuit against them basically alleging bad faith marketing due to siri intelligence.

I honestly just use siri/google home to just say commands like "Siri, lock my front door" or "Siri, turn on XYZ light", etc. Candidly, that works well for me 99% of the time.
It obviously sucks when it comes to asking more intelligent things like "Siri, when does the mens usa soccer team play next" or something like that.
Elon really just trying to get himself nixxed at this point.
Agree but the production value of all this makes it feel... fake. I'll gladly be wrong though.
I mean, Myanmar is a lot closer to China and those other countries than it is to the USA. So ... yea... probably like we'd help more if it was Canada or an island, etc.
No one shits on China or eastern countries when they don't help the canary islands or D.R. when ravaged by hurricanes - why would they?
This article is dumb.

I was watching the game last night and instead turned on the local news for more entertainment. That was sad.

0-4 it is, oy.
Good news - last time the Braves started 0-4, we won the WS.

Welp, let's hope tonight and this weekend go better than yesterday did!
Can't go 0-162 without starting 0-1 first.

LFG Braves!

The road to 162-0 starts today!
