MAT-AT (aka Downtown Lars)

Does anyone have the link for this article? This is wild.

Quote from a story on changes at the U of Chicago that notes they are "pausing" doctoral eduction in Classics, Comp Lit, Germanic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Romance languages and literatures, and South Asian Studies.

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

Yeah, we need to find the next Tom Brady and then have him alternate years where he only hands off the ball or has a porous line that gets him blown up like a Bears QB.

We haven’t ruined a generation QB yet, they should really get on that after Goff retires.

Use to get box lunches there all the time after school before going to sports or piano practice, maybe just a Michigan thing but they were lovely (and they had decent chicken salad).

My dad’s family are a giant group of people who never really learned to cook, so getting a ham has always been the default for any event where more than a couple people show up (such that a regular conversation for meeting at the extended family lake house is defending who is getting the ham).

Slightly diminish a band…

“What is your basis for saying she puts roast beef in her pockets and in her pants?”

I don’t even know where to begin.

You just have to read these two pages.

I’m not sure if he was technically a QB, more like a trebuchet

Where they’ve shown the least restraint is pushing forward the positions near and dear to the segment of right-wing Catholicism that is a core part of the legal wing a number of the justices came from, so feel like gay marriage in particular is the spot they are least likely to moderate

I really want to know what these salt and pepper shakers are now.

Whoa…..

Even magic genies or disguised mythic gods would screw around with that, people need basic skills in talking to non-human things that appear to talk back.

Oh no, I don’t like that, especially given how messed up Bogart’s romantic life was.

Everyone knows Faine is a semi-mythical spirit creature that lives in the fabric of Bluesky that punishes and/or rewards poasters with terrifying .jpegs.

I loved it as a kid but haven’t played in decades, does it hold up as fun for grown ups?

I’m not sure if the politics actually made the prequels bad though, because they added really interesting depth to go along with his talent for fun space/lightsaber battles. I think the real problem is he was too important at that point for a real editor like he had in the first movies.

God, I’d represent the AI pro-bono

Hopefully it’s just him in one of the labs injecting himself with every drug he can get his hands on to see what happens.

This feels like a cursed artifact from
one of her books.

there are small ways within individual sports to manage in the very rare case it matters (like boxing/wrestling has class designations even within gender) and that’s why this is a matter for situational resolution and not a publicly policy debate masking as folks trying to “solve” that aspect

I wish there was a better way to hit the managing of marginal competitive advantage in conversation better. I think what a lot of folks are clumsily getting at is that there is almost nowhere that practically applies so why worry, but I think the more nuanced answer probably is

I’m ready to get ready this weekend though, reading the season preview magazine, flipping through the weekend schedules to notice cool match-ups, figuring out who the broadcast teams are I’ll be annoyed by, etc.

Yeah, it feels like there was a pivot to the ending she got too partway through, there was decent ground laid for payoff where a “wizard prince” whose atypical childhood let him bridge that community with everyone else was the key to defeating evil, and then it just pivoted

Remember all the brain Dave that went into domestic partnerships but not gay marriage as the winning “middle road” position, so freaking stupid to play those dumb games with bad faith people.

This was of course revealed long ago.

How do we make Faine the federal government?

Always liked how early the Royal Navy started down its path of giving its most lethal warships embarrassing names.
