If only. Sadly, streaming has so flattened temporal distance that the Beatles are even more omnipresent.
Rutgers v. Ohio State: Rutgers hasn’t vomited on itself yet, but we know it’s coming
Mmm hmm
So one could bet along with the dart throwing as the lines move in real time.
I’m surprised sportsbook’s acquisitions of RSNs hasn’t been a bigger part of the conversation about problem gambling. “FanDuel Sports Network” (which broadcasts Bucks games) is on at the Thai restaurant I’m eating lunch at, and it is currently broadcasting a darts competition w/ live lines.

It’s not clear to me what interpretive problems Guillermo del Toro thought he was solving with his (not very good) adaptation of Frankenstein. The creature quoting P.B. Shelley’s “Ozymandias” was pretty sick though.
On our way to a 2nd Big Ten win. Woo.
Maryland was favored over Rutgers in this game and Rutgers is playing its most dominant game of the season
And Rutgers finally has a Big Ten win …
Little did I know that a showdown between 3-4 Rutgers and 2-5 Purdue was what I needed to revive my spirits
I think I’ve read enough “I’m not worried about my students using AI” think pieces written by faculty at Ivies for my lifetime. The disconnect from what the reality is in most humanities classrooms is stunning.
I didn’t have a guest appearance of a Wright of Derby painting or Isaac Newton name drop in Alien Earth on my Alien franchise bingo card
I’m very excited to announce that I will be the new Reviews Editor for Eighteenth-Century Studies.
Meta never found a problem facial recognition couldn’t solve…

Basketball hurt my feelings tonight
Spurs with pick 2… the heart wants them to draft one of the Rutgers guys. The brain says trade for Giannis
If Mina is in in the Pats’ draft class, so am I
Kate Crawford‘s work on this pretty good.
The prompt was “banana”
Drimmer’s piece is so on point: Apple’s generative AI is not.
I just asked my (non-German speaking) partner if she had any wool clothes to wash, unintentionally, in German. I guess using Duolingo to freshen up my German is working

It’s great. Just be prepared for “Sailing” or “Ride Like the Wind” to be stuck in your head for weeks
I like that @dannyheifetz.bsky.social from the Ringer Fantasy Football show had a better political analysis of Kendrick’s halftime show than the New York Times
Which is to say this entire discourse is meant to obscure how surveillance technologies work and how ubiquitous they have become in public life
What an absolutely strange time to be a scholar of surveillance. *Of course* facial recognition was used… how else would we possibly have the collection of images gathered of Mangione?
I liked the Yacht Rock documentary much more than expected. It explores the material conditions necessary for a recognizable artistic movement to emerge (and it makes a fine companion to Denny Tedesco’s Wrecking Crew! doc)
