Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

Performatively reading in the cafe, but wearing white gloves so I'm still venerating the Book As Object, with a t-shirt saying "I know archivists don't wear gloves" so people know the gloves are performative.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Rufo et al were always going to blow the opportunity they were given — even with a ridiculously high budget for a college ten times the size and a clear pathway thanks to the governor and Board of Governors — but they failed spectacularly and in record time. So, they’ve got that going for them.
Since the takeover, NCF has dropped nearly 60 spots among national liberal arts colleges in the U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings, from 76th in 2022 to 135th this year, while spending more than 10 times per student than the other 11 members of the State University System.
Spending Soars, Rankings Fall at New College of Florida
Student outcomes and rankings are slipping at the liberal arts college while spending is up. Critics believe the college is at risk of implosion, and some are calling for privatization.

At the end of the day, to me, this is what it’s all about. We train and learn about things because we are curious, fascinated. We learn and do enough, then we share that with others. Among the most meaningful things I (or any scholar) can do is simply introduce new information or a new interest.
I brought some medieval manuscript leaves to class a couple weeks ago and this week a student asked if she could bring a friend to my office hours so he could look at them. My favorite thing about this is not just the students’ interest but knowing that they talk to each other about their classes.

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

We couldn’t possibly be in a worse information environment for what’s happening. Which is probably, in part, why it’s happening.

you know you don’t have to call HR 1 the “big beautiful bill” right? you know that by doing so you’re carrying water for fascists, right, even though you’re trying to be ironic or w/e you’re doing the fascists a real solid? Just checking.

Gold Key, Star Trek #4, June 1969, and #35, Nov 1975.
#35 is a reprint of #4, but with a painted cover by artist George Wilson.
Uniform colours were wrong in #4; the artists not seeing the show & they were colour corrected for #35.
