Brad Pitt got his “Ocean’s Twelve” co-star good.

Derek Carr got a lot of nerve. During the 4th quarter of Thursday Night’s Jags-Saints game in the Superdome, Derek Carr and the Saints faced a 3rd and 5 when Carr threw a bomb that landed 10 yards out of bounds. Despite the horrible pass, Carr had the audacity to go off on Saints WR […]

Liverpool recorded their lowest possession in the Premier League since 2018 at Chelsea, a figure Jurgen Klopp has lambasted as “an absolute joke.”

After the draw at Chelsea, where Liverpool looked like they could tear the London side apart in the opening exchanges, Klopp admitted his side “opened the door” for the hosts.

Instead of continuing to press and harass the opposition, the Reds dropped deeper and struggled to keep hold of the ball, resulting in a lowly 35 percent possession.

Not since the 2-2 draw against Tottenham in 2018 have Liverpool recorded a lower possession percentage, which should “not happen.”

Ahead of the second game of the season, Klopp was quick to lament how his side started to rush their disposals and deviated from the plan at Chelsea.

“What we lacked in that game was rhythm, especially in possession,” Klopp said of the 1-1 draw. “We had 35 percent possession, which is an absolute joke. That should not happen.

“There’s no game I can imagine, it can happen against City on a speical day or if it’s an idea to do it like that, but it was not our idea for that game.

“It happened because were in too much of a rush with the ball.”

The starting XI included four of Liverpool’s five senior forwards while Alexis Mac Allister was tasked with the No. 6 role in the absence of a specialist in the position.

Klopp hailed the World Cup winner and remained adamant his side’s problems did not stem from him in the defensive midfield role.

“Our problems did not come from the position of Macca, or rather offensive-oriented players in the No. 6 – nothing to do with it,” Klopp said.

“We didn’t play enough football, that was our problem. We got into a rush after the equaliser, and they scored a goal pretty quick.

“We were not settled enough in the way we want to play, think that’s not too surprising because after pre-season you always have that problem.”

Mac Allister will be deployed in the role once more on Saturday but the expectation will be that new signing Wataru Endo can step in once his work permit has been granted and he’s had time to train.

Beyond that, a younger, higher calibre No. 6 must still be the objective in the remaining weeks in the transfer window, and Klopp has stated the club is still “looking.”

For now, expect possession to take a steep turn in the right direction at Anfield.

To use the new Windows AI Studio tool, you must first install Linux. No, it’s not a joke Never underestimate the importance of Linux, even for Windows development. What you need to know Windows AI Studio is a new tool designed to help developers integrate AI into their Windows apps. It’s offered as an extension to Visual Studio Code and is available to install now. But first, you must install Linux (and have an NVIDIA GPU). Microsoft has a new developer tool it has made available to help make it easier to integrate generative AI into apps. It all sounds pretty interesting, but there’s an important requirement that, while deadly serious, is also quite humorous. Let me paint the picture. This morning I was scrolling through social media, as I always do, and came across a post on Mastodon. To use the Windows AI Studio, you have to first install Linux?! Specifically, you need to be running Ubuntu 18.04 or later. Naturally, Microsoft isn’t suggesting you run Linux over Windows, this is of course referring to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). VS Code operates seamlessly on Windows while using WSL as its backend, and that seems to be what’s happening here. Microsoft has built WSL so it has interoperability between Windows and Linux without users having to jump through unnecessary hoops. Assuming you have WSL set up and Ubuntu is set as your default, the Windows AI Studio will just work without any additional setup on your part. If you need help with the Linux part, our guide on how to install WSL 2 will get you pointed in the right direction. You’ll also need an NVIDIA GPU right now to use it at all. Linux is important even for Windows developers Some might not want to admit it, but Linux is important. It’s a useful thing to learn about, even if you’re not a developer, and I think WSL is the perfect way to do this if you’ve only ever really used Windows. If Linux wasn’t important, then WSL probably wouldn’t exist, either. There are still things it can do easier than Windows, and it looks like giving access to AI tools and models for Windows developers is one of those things. The argument for Windows being a superior development environment now, though, has legs, in part thanks to its integration with Linux. Without leaving the comfort of Windows 11 you can work inside Linux, use Linux apps, even code using Linux from within the Windows version of VS Code. Jokes aside, the Windows AI Studio is a perfect example of the two working in perfect harmony. You can’t laugh at that.

Sarah Baartman was a black house servant who became popular became popular in the 19th Century because of the size of her behind that would cause total mayhem when she was forcefully made to appear in private shows, which were the equivalent of modern day “strip clubs” “Saartjie” which was her nickname, was an indigenous Khoisan from the rural areas of Southern Africa. Khoisan women had very distinguished features that set them aside from other communities, namely: Huge buttocks. Small Asian eyes. It was also said that because of the nature of Khoisan’s occupation (hunter & gatherers), their bodies would undergo long durations of hunger seasonally. When the hunger periods ended, their bodies would store fat in the buttock area, hence they would end up with large buttocks. Born around 1790, Baartman’s home area was then being ravaged by a series of frontier wars and skirmishes, sometimes within the local African tribes, on other occasions involving white adventurers pushing out from Cape Town. Baartman’s future husband and her father were both killed in a commando raid that left her homeless. When Sarah Baartman was in her early 20s, she was sold to London by a Scottish doctor named Alexander Dunlop, accompanied by a showman named Hendrik Cesars. The physiques of Africa’s indigenous people had long interested white colonialists and in Baartman they had an object of great curiosity. Although just 4ft 7in tall, Baartman’s bottom was particularly well-developed, something that led to her being taken to London in 1810 as ‘property’ part-owned by a British military doctor, Alexander Dunlop, to be shown-off on stage as a freak. There was no volition in any of this. The slave trade in Britain and its empire had just been outlawed by abolitionists but the keeping of slaves, exploiting them at the whim of the ‘owner’ was still legal. She spent four years of her youth in Britain being exhibited in various shows which were quite similar to strip shows of our modern time. Nicknamed ‘The Hottentot Venus”, the show organizers would run an advertisement carried in national newspapers to attract people to attend the shows. Entrance was 2 shillings, that was pretty high priced in those days. The show promoters forced Baartman to wear tight skin outfits that showcased her figure. The costume was deliberately suggesting, playing up to the white prejudices about sexually-unrefined black natives. Accounts of her first appearance on stage referred to the strings of ostrich-egg shell fragments failing to conceal completely her nipples. Sarah was also made to smoke a pipe when appearing on stage. When she stepped on stage, Sarah’s big behind sparked mayhem within the crowd with both men and women trying to pinch, slap or poke her to see whether her genitals were real. In her final years, there were rumors of alcoholism and syphilis. Sarah Baartman died on December 1815. Even in death the exploitation continued with a surgeon removing and preserving her genitals while artists sketched her extensively. Her genitals remained on display in Paris until the 1970s along with her skeleton. It was only in 2002, after a personal appeal by Nelson Mandela, who also hailed from the Eastern Cape, that her mortal remains made it home to South Africa for official burial. By that time Baartman was an icon for racial and sexist exploitation.
