We need a National Book Awards-style game award: every year a committee of five freaks is handed the keys to all the prestige, they pick stuff no one's heard of, readers (players) get mad, the committee members get defensive, no one is truly happy, and then next year we do it all again

The conclusion here is that there are too many journalists with double-Z names. We need to shut it down until we get this figured out.

Saw Todd Snider four or five times in concert. Each time was great. What a loss to never have that chance again.
I don't know if this is my favorite Todd Snider song, or the best Todd Snider song but it is undisputably the most Todd Snider song.
Rest in chaos to my hero.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!"
Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource.
When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.

I struggle with this a lot too, but ultimately I find that the energy you use worrying about strict differential grading to always be better spent elsewhere.
On the surface, grade inflation might seem simple to address, @ibogost.com writes. But it’s a strange and wicked problem on campus, with no single cause or obvious solution: https://theatln.tc/ds5cBJAV

just finished THE RESIDENCE and it was the best live-action short series I've seen in a while. the last episode wasn't quite on the same level, but huge fan, sad to hear it hasn't gotten a second season.
