HUGE fan of Google and Gemini, but the irony in this post is so thick, it’s beyond funny and bleeding into sad.

The WORST officiated @NBA #Finals I’ve seen in ~40 years of watching. No dog in fight. I’m from Indiana, & I’m NOT a Knicks fan. I don’t dislike the Spurs. I like physical play / letting them play, and yet, this is horrible. So inconsistent & it feels fixed. Terrible Refs!

it wouldn’t be a Google I/O without new models dropping say hello Gemini 3.5 Flash: it delivers frontier performance for agents and coding, excelling at complex long-horizon tasks that deliver real-world utility now available via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era. Almost nobody understood what he said. Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.” Not tech startups. The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees. The businesses that actually run the physical economy. They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it. Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.” Software is dead. The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever. AI ends the contract. The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business. But customized by whom. The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is. Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?” That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves. Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer. Let them fight. Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero. Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built. It collects where the brain meets the business. Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic. Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy. Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates. Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue. That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born. You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system. The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in. 33 million companies are standing in the dark right now. Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

Via @On3… Indiana currently has the No. 1 transfer portal class nationally in 2026 in BOTH football (left) and men’s basketball (right). Sign of the times.

If there is one team in the NBA who can lose their best player and still win a game 7 in NBA finals, it’s this Pacers team. #NBAFinals2025 #YesCers

Max contract for 6 points / game. @nuggets - Send MPJ packing for someone who plays D, is tough and not so incredibly soft… even at $0.50 on the dollar that’s a win trade. Some bottom dweller would love a “potential all star” for cheap. He & contract lost us the series. Period.

Happy 311 Day! Check out our Tiny Desk performance here: bit.ly/311-tinydesk

Anyone else find it odd that the last few TikTok TV commercials were targeting / highlighting military families and now farmers and ranchers? 🧐 #TikTok

Elf Movie fans need to revolt against @Turner & their TNT station. They are now running #Elf #movie with some scenes being cut out!?! Buddy’s realization & faint scene is now gone? What’s next… a Santa with no beard?! … Ralphie without his red rider BB gun? It’s an outrage!

Umm @espn @SportsCenter how is this not #SCTop10 top 10.?!? Back heel in OT to win!
