I like to collect good baseball names, with that ineffable quantified pastoral quality, so I’m going to collect them here

Signs from my week at Harvard — great to spend some time in residency workshopping and learning with so many wonderful writers
Maybe the first libraries were just bookstores with really generous exchange policies
If humans were made of halloumi I’d be Sweeney Todd
I love it when I have a #munchsquad segment to look forward to on #mbmbam
New campaign, let’s go! #dnd
Text from article: It’ll be years before we can fully account for what all of this is doing to students’ brains. Some early research shows that when students off-load cognitive duties onto chatbots, their capacity for memory, problem-solving, and creativity could suffer. Multiple studies published within the past year have linked AI usage with a deterioration in critical-thinking skills; one found the effect to be more pronounced in younger participants. In February, Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University published a study that found a person’s confidence in generative AI correlates with reduced critical-thinking effort. The net effect seems, if not quite Wall-E, at least a dramatic reorganization of a person’s efforts and abilities, away from high-effort inquiry and fact-gathering and toward integration and verification. This is all especially unnerving if you add in the reality that AI is imperfect — it might rely on something that is factually inaccurate or just make something up entirely — with the ruinous effect social media has had on Gen Z’s ability to tell fact from fiction. The problem may be much larger than generative AI. The so-called Flynn effect refers to the consistent rise in IQ scores from generation to generation going back to at least the 1930s. That rise started to slow, and in some cases reverse, around 2006. “The greatest worry in these times of generative AI is not that it may compromise human creativity or intelligence,” Robert Sternberg, a psychology professor at Cornell University, told The Guardian, “but that it already has.” (Katie's added note: the sentences about reorganization of abilities and telling fact from fiction have been highlighted.)
Bleak.

Augustinian. Villanovan. Focused on Catholic Social Teaching and (likely) liberation theology, considering his time in Peru. This is a great day. #LeoXIV
It is hard to make me cry but a LeBron edit about the end of his career, set to a Coldplay song… I get misty I’m ngl
Incredibly sad to see @vox.com selling Polygon and letting go of so many talented people. Looking forward to following excellent writers like @plante.bsky.social and @petrana.bsky.social wherever they go next.
Wow he pitched a hell of a game - a lucky card!
Sometimes you just gotta buy some baseball cards and I pulled this duo just now from a single pack - Gore pitched today, how about that? #nationals
JORGE POLANCO IS THE REAL GHOST RUNNER!
Absolutely crazy move from Polanco here #mariners #baseball
Maybe it’ll return one day- sometimes all you need is the sounds of the game!
I would pay $300/year for #MLB to add a ballpark audio feed to every game they stream. #baseball

Word processors: if I put something in quotes, don't spellcheck or grammarcheck it. It's a quote!
Thank you.
I know it’s spring training but #baseball games should never end in a tie
My first 25 books of the year - finally picked up @marthawells.com’s Murderbot Diaries for number 25 and it’s a jewel I only wish I’d read sooner
