I don’t know if this makes sense, but while I like the movie Moneyball if at any point during it the Bryan Adams song “(Everything I Do) I Do it for You” started playing I wouldn’t be surprised at all

The outline of so much of what’s been lost—pedagogy, shared governance, scholarship—is here, and scorned by the neoliberal university culture that values longer and longer cvs and endless monograph and article production, regardless of content or actual significance other than impact score.

Every one of these posts treats books, papers, etc. as mere deliverable products, the TPS reports of the academic world. Expertise, learning, how researching and writing a book makes you better. All this matters. We can rightly blame Trump et al for the decline of unis, but here’s the rot right here

There is politician WAR now. This explains so much

Thank you for the Updikeism

Mad Max younger version saying “that’s bait”

Thousands of people with “Built Here Lives Here” TX stickers on their F150s lining up to vote for this Maryland carpetbagger.

Not at all the point but one of the most joyless players I’ve watched wear the pinstripes

Map showing democratic votes in King County, Texas. Talarico has won vote. Hassan has one vote. Crockett zero. King County is a wasteland. Taylor Sheridan’s weird ass ranch is there.

King County lmao

I like this. How crushed with rewrites do you become? They add up.

Ronald Reagan was a colossal pile of garbage but he’s in many ways responsible for in-home care for disabled children and that these clowns would torch an actually good part of their hero’s legacy is where these sadists are now.

I thought they were really high quality, a mix of old timey-ness with a cool weathered permanence

Artist was @punkrockpaint.bsky.social, a hell of a dude

I’d almost forgotten about this. One day I decided to make some jokes about an ESPN list and someone turned each one into a baseball card. Couldn’t believe he did that. Still have my set.

Gosh those things were so damn cool

Damn right. Hell of a gent.

I’m so sorry. He looks like the very best boy

That’s next. (Snacks…)

The problem is it’s got this frame to give it an in-cabinet appearance, and I’m trying to just get the same thing again so I don’t have to look up what the newest same version is or what fits best

Oh yeah, it came through in the clutch. One out of stock page at Home Depot and two defunct links.

Oh I should try this just to get more mad, thanks!

Me: here is what I want. I will pay for it.

The internet: can I interest you in the wrong thing sir

My microwave died and I would like to replace it and what I like about the internet now is that when I type in the exact serial number I get hits for microwaves not of that serial number that are of a different size and shape and wattage
