we all know and love the Devils Hole Pupfish, the rare fish whose entire habitat is one water-filled hole in Nevada. in the second picture you can see all of its natural range (it's also close to impossible to get it to breed in captivity). anyway today i learned Devils Hole itself has no end.

This is an example of the way AI is a crystallization (though not the origin) of a post-information epistemic culture that has taken an anti-documentarian turn where information no longer operates as evidence of the real world, and conversely can no longer tell when documents are evidence of fantasy

The York Revolution has forfeited its game Thursday night against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs after an internal controversy surrounding "Pride Night" and the pride jersey, according to the team. In a statement, the club announced that, out of respect for the Pride community and the York community as a whole, the June 18 game will be forfeited, but Pride Night festivities will continue as the feature element at WellSpan Park. The decision comes on the heels of several of the team's players refusing to wear the Pride Night jersey. As a result, the club decided the team should not be forced to wear jerseys they aren't comfortable with. However, in the announcement, the club reiterated its belief that hosting the event is more important than playing the game. "We feel that this is the best way to stay consistent with our long-standing partnerships with the Rainbow Rose Center, JLS Automation and the long list of allies that have always been key partners of the York Revolution’s success in York, Pennsylvania," the club wrote in its announcement. As an act of support for the LGBTQIA+ community, the team announced it is making a $10,000 donation to the Rainbow Rose Center to further their work on inclusivity. To be clear; this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York. Tickets for the game are being treated as a rainout and can be redeemed for any future game, the club confirmed.
