Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

I'm not sure there is anything wrong with enjoying your life and rollerblading. Normalize enjoying your life and rollerblading. I hope I don't reach my late 70s, and as I'm lying in my hospital bed, think, "man, I could have written more articles." 9/11

Imagine a World War II documentary shot like a drama. Imagine most of the people you'd want to talk to still being alive.
The World At War is one of the best things anyone has ever done with television.
This is a link to the cold open for a 20-ish part documentary.

Sometimes I get frustrated when I compare arts and tech salaries, but
look
tech people
I'm not saying you are the problem
I'm saying the exchange rate is in our favor

"This court has become an elite, but no less sadistic and vulgar, bastion of the anti-pluralist, anti-democratic forces that have captured so much of the Republican party and the conservative base." I wrote about Sam Alito's front yard: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I see Brianna Wu's name in Trending and I see the same people doing the same shit, always with screenshots. Links or it didn't happen.

Lisa flips out from lack of praise during the teacher's strike and builds a perpetual motion machine. The segment ends with Homer putting his foot down and saying "In this house we OBEY the laws of thermodynamics."

Gun to to your head, what is the *best* Simpsons joke? However you wanna define it; pics, GIFs, clips, and overwrought explanations welcome.

@jillmwo It's not clear that AI training is a transformative use, so do you really want your AI trained on pre-1930 material? Agree that it's not feasible either. Lots of things I'd do with a book dataset like that before AI.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the proposal here would neither be feasible for academic libraries to implement nor would it result in the creation of good AI. authorsalliance.org/2024/05/13/boo…

Having police violently break up protests and then calling them “violent protests” is an old trick that succeeds only when the press takes the bait which is what’s happening now

We must do everything possible to avert an entirely preventable, human-made famine in Gaza.
I again call on the Israeli authorities to allow & facilitate safe, rapid & unimpeded access for humanitarian aid & humanitarian workers, including @UNRWA.

I wrote about how last night, an over-the-air radio broadcast from a tiny FM signal was the sole news source for the most important national news story of the moment. And how that's.... interesting businessinsider.com/columbia-unive…
