this is gonna make the worst people you know sooooo mad

I have never been more envious of a utility pole

Just outside the top nine: Slate Political Gabfest and Amicus

Welp. That’s pretty much everything you need to know about me…

(There would probably be a couple St. Louis Blues podcasts on here if it weren’t so painful to think about how bad they are at hockey.)

The Boulanger Initiative understands that the way to my heart is laptop stickers.

I have heard he’s a numbers guy…

Shockingly, nobody in my College of Fine Arts Curriculum Committee meeting got my Marshawn Lynch joke this morning

I love a PC with a boopable snoot!

Love seeing Alabama lose, but hate all the Florida State racist chanting

_Sgt. Pepper’s_ is closer (chronologically) to _Rite of Spring_ than to today.

_Rite of Spring_ is closer to Beethoven 3 than to today.

It’s one thing to say “I think there was contact”, but you’d have to be willfully ignorant to say that there was “clear contact”. The video just doesn’t show _anything_ clearly. Others have pointed out that Joyner’s stride is not interrupted. And if there was contact, the attacker initiated it.

Eddy is coming at me pretty hard tonight

Very punchable face

This is literally a different team that no longer exists and played in a different league than St. Louis City SC.

I regret to inform you that Ann Arbor is Very Cute.

I met with a firstyear a couple years ago a few days before the semester started, and I noticed they signed their emails with a different name than was on my roster. They told me they were going to the registrar right after, and their name was changed on my roster by the end of the day.

I was pleasantly surprised that my US midwestern public R2 made it super easy for a student to change their name.

Is this it?

Thanks for the reply. I’m with you. I think he showed he can get the job done and that he wants it. I just generally assume everyone knows more about the situation than I do.

@mattbakerstl.bsky.social missed the stream tonight so forgive me of this came up: I see lots of armchair managers on Reddit saying that “Hack is not the answer” long term. Other than lack of experience at this level, where do you think this attitude comes from? I was impressed with him in 2024.

Yes. Lutz has made a lot of good decisions. Hiring Olof was a significant mistake. If you want to fire him over one mistake, that’s your choice I guess. I think that would be an overreaction.

Disagree. I get why people want that, but Lutz has done a lot of good things too. Olof has been a consistent disaster from the jump.

Bring back Hack!

Fire Olof. He can’t get the job done.

PK Suban wearing sequins and gesturing at a video board with a backwards hockey stick makes me feel like I’m having an episode. Is this real life?

I’m not mad, just disappointed.

I anxiously await your review!

Whether it was Joe Biden with his halting pauses or Donald Trump with his repeated promises to destroy our democracy and plunge us into a world of tyranny and economic collapse, both candidates gave voters plenty to worry about

The last few semesters, WSU has been using an AI voice to read graduate names in commencement ceremonies. I find it to be very off-putting. Is this practice common? Are other universities doing this?

It sounds better in the original German
