This sketch from the other night is great. Ashley Padilla is an undersung powerhouse on the show. She's become one of my favorites.

An NYU planning group has proposed a multidecade extension of the subway. Doubt this will ever happen but it looks quite cool.

It’s weird to think that now I’m older than David Foster Wallace ever got to be. This new essay in the New Yorker about Infinite Jest is great.

Reading IJ in the summer of 1997 was a very special experience. I was living at my parents' house for the summer after my 1L year. I read IJ in my bedroom, or in the den, or outside, Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary always by my side.

“Infinite Jest” Has Turned Thirty. Have We Forgotten How to Read It?
David Foster Wallace’s novel, in all its immensity, became the subject of sanctification and then scorn. But the work rewards the attention it demands.

Just did a variety cryptic from the October 2018 issue of Games Magazine and found a blatant error. I guess it’s too late to complain.

I finished Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett yesterday. Very long novel about the building of a cathedral over decades in 12th-century England. Cartoonishly evil villains, and the heroic characters go through so much suffering. But it was absorbing and includes some real historical personages.

Does Woke Bowl rhyme with poke bowl
Tuberville: "Unfortunately we've got the Woke Bowl, because we're getting more and more woke. We got Bad Bunny or Bad Rabbit at halftime. I'll be watching the TPUSA halftime show. It's just unfortunate we've gotten to this point."
