It's a beautiful day for homecoming. I'm at home, writing, but delighted to hear @mikegolicjr.bsky.social on the UCF call. Shame the school won't commit to go all-in on the Citronaut. At least the space game is coming up.

I spent last weekend away for a delightful fall wedding. I consumed no sports. I'm learning about it all from the @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social, including the weekend shows.
Wow, it sure seems like lots of stuff happened!

Committing a cardinal sin and walking into the parking garage to grab something I forgot in my car. Someone will be very angry when I go to my car, and then walk back away. Sorry.

So I guess we've got a concentration camp a couple of hours from here.
not sure what specifically there is to be done about it.
Network, protest, talk rationally to folks about it, talk irrationally to folks about it, organize, vote in every election everywhere
In short - be the change, fucko.

All this talk in design spaces on the internet about "dark academia" design trends.

Imagine in the 1920's if you kept hearing from Grover Cleveland's campaign strategist about needing to do what worked for them in 1892

The lack of UCF Citronaut hockey hoodies confirms that, regrettably, @homefield.bsky.social ain't know puck. No Florida schools? this is the most successful hockey state over the last ~5 years and yet we have no representation.

I'm getting my PhD in something called "texts and technology" and this conversation between @pablo.show and @chrislhayes.bsky.social a few moments from this are perhaps the best piece of non-academic media that I could give someone to explain what the field discusses.
I found myself repeatedly underlining the new book from @chrislhayes.bsky.social.
So we met up to discuss spam, SNL, Dominion vs. Fox, the MSM, Blaise Pascal, Rick Pitino, the Cocktail Party Effect, mentions, HammerKing75, Neil Postman, piglets, and a Socrates hot take 👀 youtu.be/N2VvOTAoywU?...

...public history folks: y'all good?
many people in the field are obviously directly federally paid, but lots more have their paychecks funded by various grants.
can't imagine the vibes are great in the lunchroom.

I was just checking to see if the guy ended the war in Ukraine - since it's been more than the 24hrs he said he'd need - and the crazy thing is that he didn't! do you think he lied?
