@WSJ @UMichAthletics you need to read the room, and have the law firm create a written report. Then release it and have a press conference with administrators and regents answering questions. The secrecy is as bad for the UMich reputation as the faults of the athletic department.

Found this powerful quote about reading from a declassified CIA report from 1955: "Reading is a pleasure, a source of information, and the basis for most decisions that are made today. It deserves the liveliest interest and the best techniques we can master."

“The greatest motivator in the world is your ass on the bench. Ass meets bench, bench retains ass, ass transmits signals to the brain, brain transmits signals to the body, body gets ass off bench and plays better. It's a hell of a sequence.” - Bobby Knight

This is why I still cobble on web stuff.
Dave Winer@davewiner

I use twitter these days because it’s where the people are. The distributed ideas, masto, threads, blue-sky, did not gain critical mass as far as I can see. Threads and blue-sky are not distributed. distributable is not the same as being distributed. It’s like saying the 1962 Mets were able to win the world series. In some fashion perhaps in an alternate universe, in reality, not gonna happen. At some point we will give up on that approach and adopt the only model that could work, the web, because it forced us to work together, which goes far beyond open source in building the kind of freedom that open source advocates promise. We need to go back to the source of freedom we enjoyed in the approx 14 year period between the inception of the web and its exploitation, via Cory Doctorow’s doctrine, getting shit on and in. Don’t just blame the vendors, the people wanted the shit too, they wanted their billions, and the web turned from a freedom machine to a gunk works. Working together is the only way out of the shit we’re living in, in every aspect of life. Working together. Say it again and again until you do it. Underneath the beauty of the web is there still to build on, but only if we momentarily suspend our search for great wealth, and instead seek our humanity. Working together is the way. PS: Elon Musks twitter may suck to some but I praise him and it for giving us the space to rant, something the great masto, threads and blue-sky refuse to.

"I can't believe God gave me a chance to be a Buckeye, because there's nothing like it." Ohio State has put out a lot of amazing videos, but this is one of the greatest. If you are a Buckeye fan these four minutes will give you chills.

@asmilefixer Western companies are pretty good at ripping things off, too. In fact, they're so good at it, they literally call it 'efficient infringement'.

Setting up a rival to Arxiv where AI slop is not just acceptable but actively encouraged: no censorship, no one to tell you your claims are obviously fake. a whole ecosystem of people outdoing each other with no quality bar to hold them back. it’s called LinkedIn
