Welcome ye, welcome ye to the end of the first full week of the year without football. The time when we pretend to care about the NBA Playoff seedings, when we pretend to care about whatever is going on in the ACC or Big 10 in basketball.
Now.
Is.
Sports.
Purgatory. Continue reading Eat My Sports: Now is the Winter of our discontent
Arguably, one of the greatest traits that humanity has over artificial intelligence is the ability to silently (or even overtly) judge one another.
Over and over. Always judging. Always. Mercilessly and tirelessly. Always.
Anyways, science has decided to once again throw in the flag against robots (and literacy) and give the ability to judge to us. Moore, a digital company, has created book jackets that will only open a book if the reader is showing no judgement whatsoever. A camera and facial recognition system will read the audience’s face if the face shows a neutral expression. Meaning, the audience can’t be cynical or mad, but they also can’t be overly happy. It’s sure to be a big hit in Sweden.
The next weapon in the war: passive-aggressive groans and grunts.
Jack White enjoys chunky guacamole, but he doesn’t like the fact that that’s now widely known.
The University of Oklahoma’s student newspaper published the rider for White’s performance at the school, which includes an exact recipe for guacamole. The thing is, it’s not really mashed up, so rather than a dip, it’s some chunky mix of avocados, tomatoes, peppers and such. Also, White hates bananas–in general, not just in guacamole, which would be more understandable. The rider specifically says that “This is a NO BANANA TOUR (Seriously),” and that there shouldn’t be bananas anywhere in the building.
White’s not happy about his rider being published. And it doesn’t sound like he’s going to play OU ever again. The good news is that he drinks 10-year Bulliet Bourbon.
