    "Because" AI said so! o_O

    AI Summary

    To identify Lou Costello's center fielder, consider the following points:

    • Lou Costello was part of the comedy duo Abbott and Costello.
    • The center fielder in question is likely a reference to a famous baseball player.
    • The player associated with Lou Costello is likely to be a member of the New York Yankees.
    • Costello was known to be a fan of the Yankees, particularly during the 1940s and 1950s.
    • A notable center fielder from that era is Joe DiMaggio, who played for the Yankees.
    • Therefore, the center fielder often linked to Lou Costello is Joe DiMaggio.

    I am waiting for the day when AAs come to dominate the PGA just like they have in every other major sport in this country, because it is going to drive the country club-fraternity class of honkey golfers absolutely batshit crazy.

    There are outreach programs for POC. But like hockey, the cost for equipment, instruction and tournaments is cost prohibitive for many. Tiger had parents who were dedicated to get him to the top and they were middle class IIRC

    Meh - far from a favorite or even an inspiration.

    One of a long list of starchitects that couldn't make a building "not leak"

    No dance named after Shemp. Easy W for Curly.

    Two at the same time makes me think of murder-suicide. Sad.

    I’m sitting here hoping it’s a double murder instead, but then thinking dead is dead and it doesn’t matter.

    My brain is still fighting this one out.

    Keep it in your head. We’ll find out more later.

    Now is just the time to be sad.

    Prime suspect seems to be their son Nick, who had struggled with substance abuse throughout his adult life.

    Truly ********ed up news. A mensch as well as a talented director, writer and actor. No one deserves to die this way, but it's especially grotesque when it happens to someone like this.

    Unlike some of the worthless pieces of garbage here, he was actually kind and thoughtful in his comments about the murder of Charlie Kirk, someone he obviously differed with greatly. He simply didn't hold back on his disdain for the tactics of some of the political far right today.

    Apparently even some Republicans are appalled:

    NYT is paywalled but they should be. It’s completely disgusting and disgraceful but not at all surprising.
