Definitely worth a read having read Paolo's book in manuscript form!

Yea NIL for sure, but now they have to directly pay 20 million out of existing funds, so that is separate. It is also a question of limited fundraising dollars, as you said, going to athletics vs. general scholarships etc. If someone gives to sports, they may not give to the rest of the place.

Thanks! I figure with the 20 million needed to pay players directly now it's going to be far less likely.

Genuine question: How much does OU athletics give to academics? And, do you know where the money actually goes?

Another 2-0 to the Arsenal!

Solid if unspectacular, lovely finish from Rice to put us 1-0 up after Eze should have done earlier. No mistake from Saka from the spot after Timber fouled.

West Ham offered so little, we controlled this one pretty easily.

Top of the table (for now), Interlull ahoy!

Walking to the office where you stop in a bar? Uh huh. 😂

That hardly looks like your office!

That second half was hard work. Olympiacos were much tougher to play against, but I think we were also wasteful. Trossard had big chances, Odegaard denied by brilliant goalkeeping and defending.

But he got the assist for Saka's late goal, the least his performance deserved. 3 points, clean sheet!

It also has to do with professors in your College. CS tends to be in a College of Arts & Sciences (or Engineering) whereas business or law are often located somewhere else entirely. Law schools might not even be on the same campus and business is completely different.

Episode 140 is now up on "Tuberculosis in WW1" with Eric Story: infectioushistorians.com/2025/07/08/t.... We look at the impact of TB on Canadian soldiers in particular along with writing this history during Covid. Maybe an interest to @benmschneider.bsky.social and his Oslo crew.

GET THE FUCK IN, THAT'S A HUGE WIN!

Great set of charts from Ben Schmidt to update his existing work. Worth a look for sure.

Job done. Trossard goal added a little gloss to the scoreline, after what was a fairly risk averse second half from Arsenal.

Big game at the weekend perhaps in the back of our minds, played in 2nd gear, but we really didn't cause them enough problems with the talent we had on the pitch.

I just tell them on day 1 they all get an A, since grad work isn't about grades. Then I comment significantly on anything they give me as way to build skills (from grammar to ideas) and add in a long note at the end. I also go old school and grade entirely by hand.

This all hit home as I was finishing up a review task today that is paid but if I calculated the hours, would be far, far under minimum wage. But if too many of "me" opt out or disappear, it just can't be done.

This outlines the structural problems in history and all humanities scholarship. Do more with less and then be shocked when people have to leave to make money and everyone left is overwhelmed.

Tamed the Bengals

Some combination of: 1) this person is entirely clueless or 2) they know, but are making a political point by acting like an idiot.

Nice write up of the 3 year NEH Collaboration grant with Lee Mordechai that I just received. Really excited to get started soon and have some great people coming to give talks and work with us at Oklahoma State: news.okstate.edu/articles/art...

It's basically the structural reality in every historical field as far as I can tell parsing the data.

Basically "yes." Con: the article has a ton of readers and lots often critical feedback (from "this has no point" to people shredding it). Pro: The article gets A LOT better with the good feedback. Have to have thick skin to deal with it.

The question here, I would think, is whether the AI cost is higher than just hiring more people to teach/mark in the long term, assuming that the software will require a long-term contract

This series is well worth a read. It puts people behind the numbers I've collected here: www.themedievalacademyblog.org/wp-content/u... or the French History society in the US has done: www.wsfh.org/state-of-the.... FYI, I'm waiting until the end of the month to put together my newest update.

Hard work, but two great subs won us the game!

Could just throw them in an excel file after posting them with a label of a subfield. Then you could publish and track trends. Just an idea, but understand if you don't want to.

Thanks for doing this. Do you track these and put them in a dataset so you can compare year to year?

Sigh, the press release industrial complex at it again.

Question for the classics/ancient history hivemind: what's a recommended book on Alexander the Great for a non-academic person who is interested? Thanks!

Solid day's work. Zubimendi will get the headlines for his two goals, but impressive stuff from Cristhian Mosquera and Noni Madueke, and the Eze/Gyokeres link-up for the second goal is what we're hoping to see lots more of this season.

With more final third precision, this could have been 4 or 5-0.

This is well worth a read.
