So do all the jerseys that the Pope gets go into the Vatican archives? Can I go visit them when I’m in Rome? Do you think they’d sell be the Cubs one just to get it out of there?

I hope it has a happy ending

Pope Leo: Thanks, but I'm a Northwestern fan.
TN Speaker: :/
Pope Leo: I kid, I kid! Northwestern is the Methodists!
Note: I know the Pope went to Villanova. People from Philly will never ever ever let people in Chicago forget that.

The faculty at UCLA, itself currently under austerity measures due to a nebulous and unresolved budget crisis, have just received a message that "ChatGPU Edu" is now available to faculty and staff "for purchase at a specially negotiated price."

Do I work at a university?

Omg so many jerseys

The ADL and its backers have found common cause with a specific slice of right-wing Christian plutocrats for a variety of reasons … and that’s a different thread … but also it doesn’t matter because the broader movement is pro-Hitler.

"I am in hell" - Pope Leo, probably

Among other failings here: the violent white supremacist movement sweeping through anglophone spaces is increasingly explicit in its pro-Hitler antisemitism. There’s no place for Jews in their world.

I know other media outlets around the country are running with "diseased monkeys with COVID, herpes and hepatitis are loose in Mississippi!"

And yes, it makes great clickbait. Those posts have thousands of RTs.

But it's just not accurate. Our factual report by @nickjudin.bsky.social:

I did not expect this post to resonate with so many people, but it makes sense considering how many people have been laid off or are going through layoffs rn. Gen X and Millennials were also taught to prioritize work and our careers, only to see homes become too expensive to buy and wages stagnate.

It's weird how noting a guy's publicly awful comments on rape and rape victims gets you labeled "shrill." As if we reserve that adjective for one particular type of individual! But who???

I read a great article by a colleague who left off by posing a question which his article wasn’t the place to answer. I *think* I’ve managed to answer that Q in what I’ve written this week, which is what I love about the long conversation of scholarship. I hope my work does the same for someone else

reading some of the bad faith snarky responses to this has me hyperventilating

the headline isn't "Patron-Supported Journalism Can’t Be the Future *For Any or All Journalists Ever*" it's that it can't be the future *of News*

your reading comprehension is poor and you're rude af

But let me be clear: I take many things seriously. Some way too seriously. Sports isn't one of them.

There are folks who say that's it's actually bad undisciplined defense resulting in lots of free throws (which are absurdly up so far this season) and that it'll settle down. I hope so!

YMMV of course. Perhaps you like teams scoring 130+ points routinely. If you do, you're in luck!

As a general principle, I think the game has gotten too easy for our NBA offensive gods. They are too skilled. And that they shouldn't be able to travel or push off defensive players.

ok! good thing it's you in charge of officiating and not me. cause I feel like you put a forearm into someone's chest and push them away, it's a foul. foul'em all out.

and an offensive foul

The end. I’m happy!

I will follow every person who @ me with an i voted sticker and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in the same tweet.

I hope it has a happy ending.

Airport read today: “Rose/House” by the great @byzantienne.bsky.social. Let’s go!
