Pushing “market logic” into higher education has made the wealthy schools richer and the poorly resourced schools poorer.

@lookheron.bsky.social builds on his arguments and findings in his recent report for @lpeblog.bsky.social.

Bro, have you even read it?

Stefon Diggs played like a psychopath in a relatively meaningless Week 5 revenge game instead of any of the multiple times he was near a championship. A Hall of Famer of American spite.

Facebook Groups felt like an ideal version of social media. In fact Groups is probably still the only real good function of Facebook even though they’re also where all the worst stuff happens.

What is “Blower’s Remorse”?

bluesky is missing this

This seems to be the consensus. I thought at first people were just misremembering how hard Hollow Knight was but my experience with Silksong has mainly made me *afraid* to explore a new area rather than delighted.

As a Bills fan rooting for the Giants for a night, I appreciated seeing ol’ Daboll draw up the “3rd and short deep ball to double coverage” of Josh Allen’s early days

One night of rooting for the Giants and I feel like Scrooge kneeling at his grave begging for his life back

"On the campaign trail, he said, [Trump] seemed controlled and statesmanlike."

I just don't understand how people see any flavor of Trump this way. It's like we're tuned to different frequencies.

This reminds me I bought that Briana Ashby Long Goodbye print and I have to hang it somewhere!

My boy has to go in for a dental cleaning tomorrow. Please send him good vibes for the scary anesthesia! Dream suggestions welcome.

I'm sorry, but I'm not ready for this

What, like I dip it?

I used to say conservatives are all just 14-year-olds who never grew out of it but the last year or so has definitely lowered the bar

Goofy-ass anti-vaxxer weirdo

Why does The Ringer's portrait of Aaron Rodgers make him look like a gnome in a human-sized helm?

A bizarre ad for a “Water Powered Ear Wax Cleaner”

My gf got a circular ad for Menard’s in her email which includes this bizarre product that’s certainly unsafe. The photo looks like a guy giving himself a lobotomy.

HANG IT IN THE ALLBRIGHT KNOX

God am I so glad I didn’t give up on this game just because it felt bad

interesting that Nate references “main character” as a term but still doesn’t seem to understand the concept of a website where people go to have fun

What does Brooks think is the *cause* of poverty?

in college I would always look forward to reading the Cornell Review because it was, reliably, the stupidest fucking thing I’d read all month

What is shelling out?

I think Belichick will be remembered as a nerd who infiltrated a meatheads’ sport, but by the time the nerds caught up to him he had fallen victim into his own arrogance and failed to adjust to his new reality. It’s a classic American story.

Andrew Carnegie built libraries and our modern Robber Barons are like “what if we made books that drove you insane?”

Patrick Henry was like the only one calling out Madison’s bullshit and even he still owned slaves

Two comments from March 27, 2011: "I very much enjoyed your approach to documenting the making of LOTR and for my part bought the DVDs again only for your documentaries, and I gained an extra copy of the films as a slight bonus. I have shown them to several people and everyone has liked what you have achieved. I wish you the very best in your career although I am a little disappointed you are not doing the same for the Hobbit." Costa Botes replies: "Thank you Daniel, I appreciate the feedback. Please check out some of the other pages on this site, and you’ll see why I’m not too broken hearted about missing The Hobbit. It’s interesting that our local media are accentuating negatives and problems with this production – rather the opposite to coverage given the production of LOTR; even though, of course, those films were plagued with problems large and small too. I’m sure that whatever travails the Hobbit goes through, the end result will stand confidently alongside the Rings Trilogy. And lets not forget that setbacks and obstacles make for more interesting behind the scenes documentaries!"

Stumbled upon this old Wordpress from the director of the Lord of the Rings behind the scenes documentaries and it's very endearing. Like this comment that expresses confidence in the upcoming behind the scenes docs for The Hobbit.

I respect Jamelle Bouie’s belief that he can influence a corrupt institution from within but there’s no excuse for Will Shortz
