Jazz covers of Sade are always great, but this new Corey Fonville & Sam Fribush "I Couldn't Love You More" cover is ridiculous. Having Charlie Hunter on the studio version but getting Morgan Burrs for the live video is cheating lol.

Concert #27 of 2025 is the hometown heros Acid Cats at Blu Jazz+ in downtown Akron, Ohio! Grew up with these guys as friends in high school, and honored to see their last-ever show (for now at least).

The announcers talking about some damn In-N-Out during the Kent State-Akron game while Swenson's is right there is disrespectful.

For anyone wondering why the B1G wants this to happen so badly right now, what the consequences might be, and why other schools may make similar deals very soon, I have a convenient paper on this exact topic.
TL;DR: this is very bad

Starting the weekend off with watching the #Cavs live for the first time this season. This is also my first #NBACup game ever, and this court will take some getting used to.
The Cavaliers have won in DC every time I've been in attendance, hoping the streak continues.

The unaffordability of college makes it easier for President Trump to build up ICE and advance an authoritarian agenda. https://bit.ly/3JCPrCP

For @insidehighered.com I wrote an op-ed on how student loan relief is now a policy with literal life and death implications, and how policymakers need to decide if upholding student debt is worth the fall of American democracy.

Yeah, Schulte heard all the shit talk about his performance this season cause he's playing out of his mind.
All in all, a decent first half from Columbus. Offensive is predictably struggling but the defense is performing far better than how it ended this season.

#Cavs games like tonight REALLY make me miss Bickerstaff's defense. Good offensive rebounding in the clutch to seal the deal, and I know we have multiple starters still hurt, but hoping to see some growth on the defensive side this season to meet our deep playoff expectations.

Well, #Cavs had some good things to build on despite the loss. Mitchell and Mobley looked great, though Mobley didn't have the best offensive decision-making in the clutch. Ball, Wade, and Merrill had great moments.
However, Allen had a rough night. Hope tonight was just a one-off.

Evan Mobley going down and getting the #Cavs first bucket of the season, hopefully a sign of increased aggressiveness on the offensive end.
Don't like the early foul though.

So the #WorldSeries for America's pastime is officially between the team directly antagonized by Trump/ICE vs Canada's team. 2025 still providing us with some funny irony.
