THINK blog Volume 2 Chapter 16
Have you ever seen the rein?AI slop is ruining not just the internet but people's language. When did set foot somewhere become "step foot" somewhere, which doesn't even make sense? Oh hang on, sorry, this is a team blog so here goes. Think remains a bit of a yo-yo team, yo-yoing between go and whoa, as though reined in. Actually going back to AI slop for a moment I have noticed that nowadays that is all-too-frequently spelled as 'reigned in', as though monarchy somehow impeded the progress of those living under it. I mean, the very idea. As the Sex Pistols said, God save the Queen 'cause tourists are money. And as the statistics bear out, the country with the highest number of tourists per annum omni anni definitely isn't France. And if it were, it would be because they used to have a monarchy or something.
Anyway, onto things that absolutely are not being in any way shape or form ruined by AI. Last Sunday Think went back into Liga tier 10 despite the best efforts of those who showed up (not including this author). It is odd how sometimes our best, with a good turnout including at least one leader (in the case of Sunday aetaris), isn't enough even to stand still. And yet on Thursday stand still we did, the performance of the troops earning high praise from Rankrotten. I am hopeful that today we can rise back into the single-figure echelons.
Things happening elsewhere today include the Sunday Crazyhouse Marathon Team Battle and readers who would like to know more about Crazyhouse are invited to check out the work of CrazyMaharajah.
While it may be incongruous with the tone of this blog I do feel that at this juncture it would be remiss of me to ignore the Naroditsky thing. Clearly, 29 is no age at all. Beyond that, all I can say is that I find all the speculation rather unseemly.
