CBS Saturday Morning @cbssaturday

Concert tickets are at record prices. Even fans willing to pay often struggle to get them. This week on CBS Saturday Morning we meet musicians, scalpers and executives at Ticketmaster and StubHub and hear their dramatically different plans for how ticketing should change. https://t.co/iCfmGrQTxr

we trained a new model that is good at creative writing (not sure yet how/when it will get released). this is the first time i have been really struck by something written by AI; it got the vibe of metafiction so right. PROMPT: Please write a metafictional literary short story

When I watch this video I mostly see the kids trying to manage the meddling adults, who can’t help but spout constant dubious advice. The catcher is like, “Here, do this unhelpful thing they’re yelling about and maybe they’ll leave us alone.”

Baseball King @BasebaIlKing

Who are the catcher’s parents? Talk about being raised right.. https://t.co/9rHo8BJ7gF

NYC winter playground closures have been unusually aggressive/ridiculous this year

Liz Wolfe @LizWolfeReason

NYC hates its child population. Encountered ANOTHER padlocked playground (it was 45 degrees out). Hopped the fence w my friend, liberated my son, and 25 other kids took little boosts from us to hop the fence. Joy.

Hear me out, think I just fixed the #NBAAllStar game going forward. Each All Star gets to pick a school he attended that will get $1 million if his team wins. 10 kids from each school sit together directly behind the bench of the team they’re rooting for. Great drama, fun TV,

Don’t think I’ll ever understand how someone could choose having daylight for their commute to work in the AM over having daylight when they can play with their kids in the PM

Nate Silver @NateSilver538

People make good use of early PMs. It's a peak time for exercise, social, and family activity, all accentuated by sunlight. Taking away an hour of sun from that bucket to add even more to an early AM bucket that most people *don't* take advantage of is bad social engineering.
