If itโ€™s got a rail connection to Chicago (we love the south shore line donโ€™t we folks) it should be on CST, simple as. Would mess things up w the Michigan counties but hell why not put Niles on central time too

I mean you got Notre Dame faculty who commute, thatโ€™s gotta be a bit of a pain when youโ€™ve suddenly lost an entire hour crossing from LaPorte County

South Bend region (incl Elkhart Goshen etc) should really be on CST tbh, itโ€™s not part of the Chicago area like Northwest Indiana is but I still feel like enough people travel back and forth for flights, business etc that it would still be helpful to not have a random time change part of the way in

it's really different when you got friends involved, people living, working, and studying in both places. not really incline to make these shitty jokes when there are real people involved and not just your haha funny country geopolitics memes

people treating the flare-up between thailand and cambodia as some joke ("who do I root for") is really really pissing me off in a way shit on the internet rarely does anymore. fym "root for" this isn't a game, fuck you.

Interesting Khmer lesson today where I told neak kru about the time my first apartment in Ann Arbro got broken into and explained to her what the pre-4th of July โ€œfirework or gunshotโ€ game is

Given the way this series has started already, Indianapolis si gonna be a zoo on Sunday. Thousands of hicks already liquored up from the race packing into Gainbridge ready to watch a rematch of one of the NBAโ€™s nastiest rivalries. Good luck.

Not even commenting on Elon Musk himself I donโ€™t like the guy either. Just Ann Arbor being performative as always. Never change.

It just kinda funny bc itโ€™s like..yeah you live in Ann Arbor, I get it. Democrats get margins in this town that would make Putin jealous. What does an extra sticker on your schlubby 2021 Model 3 tell me that I donโ€™t already know?

Idk if itโ€™s just bc Iโ€™m noticing them more lately but Teslas with anti-Elon stickers seem to be increasingly common around Ann Arbor

Pacers in the conference finals means that for the second year in a row a playoff home game with a Finals berth on the line will be happening on the same day as the Indy 500

This is obviously thinly-veiled racism. But itโ€™s also a bullshit premise. Haitian refugees were thriving in Springfield. Bhutanese, Congolese, other refugees from Africa & Asia have reinvigorated Rust Belt towns and cities. Trump wants to send them all back.

I am grateful my team made me feel things again this season.

I'm also grateful we still have this man at the helm. You've seen lots of programs try to replace their legends to pretty varied results.

Thanks to everyone on the team for this season, but especially Jaden and Jase.

trying to start a thesis chapter and getting bogged down at the introduction again
figuring out why and I think it's bc introductions just feel aimless...once I'm writing with a purpose, making an argument, citing sources etc I can get into a flow state easily but that doesn't work w intros. agh!
