This angel was just found on UChicago campus. DM if you’re looking to meet her! What a dream.

Uni Watch | For People Who Get It™ Uni Watch is a media project that deconstructs the finer points of sports uniforms (and occasionally other topics) in obsessive and excruciating detail.

RIP Uni-Watch. I'd been a dedicated reader/follower since ESPN Page 2 days, and it was always the first site I checked during my lunch break internet time. Thanks Paul.

You probably found me via Brian, but just in case! Kid lit people, if you're not following @brianlarossa.com, well then you should be.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training. FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

oh weird Morrissey canceling shows on his tour after he's played NYC or some other big city he's never done this before

The best way to look at the Trump Administration has always been that of an organized crime syndicate. They operate the same way. Threats. Kicking up to the boss. Side hustles. Extortion. Protection money. Harsher treatment for disloyal allies. Indiscriminate violence.

but similar to teddy bears and Teddy R., they weren't really a thing until old Ronnie told everyone he loved jelly beans

Ronald Reagan helped popularize jelly beans

They steal money that could be used on real infrastructure to build tunnels that’ll never work because they don’t want real public transport. They build surveillance networks and weapons, not housing and power grids and trains. If you think for a second they’re good for your movement you’re a moron.

In the Picture with Brian LaRossa

Hey #kidlit! I had a really lovely conversation with @jyotigopal.bsky.social for her brand new podcast project “In The Picture”—if you’re looking for something book-craft-focused to listen to this weekend.
