bonus: 'good riddance' to M*cArthur

1964-Apr-11 - NYM/BAL - New York Mets vs Baltimore Orioles - Classic Baseball Radio Broadcast YouTube video by Retro Sports Radio

now I just found a splendid treat for us @actualkatherine.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQOP...

at night, could get Balto and Phila and occasionally St Louis (KMOX w/Jack Buck) but Pacific Coast was always out of range

Murph was the best @gauthamrao.bsky.social but that episode really hit since Buddy H, as I say, was his favorite (great SS, no hit) and R*se was R*se

I wonder who have replaced Joe Tait ('up on your feet you Indian fans' 🙃) and the unfortunate Herb Score and WWWE @csschmitt.bsky.social (stop working on that book and make an important contribution 🤣) @drjessecromwell.bsky.social Ernie Harwell who did the Tigers was great as well

Fascists and Nazis hate history, and historians; but understand the power of history. Thats why, across the world, they work so hard to control HOW we tell stories about the past, to drive out diverse critical voices and perspectives, to ensure a narrative that makes them look good.

Let's sum up Trump's tariffs.

1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary.
2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business.
3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$.
4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds.
5) Consumers will get squat.

Alexander Kustov @akoustov Matt nails it: "the point of journalism [or science!] is the outputs—bringing facts to light—not the process." Most slop is still human slop. AI just made it impossible to ignore. So, the Q isn't whether to use AI, but how to use the best tools available to reduce human slop. Quote Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias · 20h The case for more AI in journalism

"the point of journalism (or science) is the output, bringing facts to light, not the process"

is definitely something to say.

in accordance (reminder) with the Drumpf-C*hn practice of accusing others of engaging in the lamentable/criminal/immoral behavior in which one is actually engaging

The article's existence negates its own argument. The fact that the easiest way for an academic to land an opinion piece in The Chronicle or Inside Higher Ed is by offering contrarian takes about how awful academia is suggests a strong desire to look in the mirror.

Jokes on him. I've been running an experiment with AI and ethnographic work for the past six months with two assistant researchers.

No AI model we've used can do anything anywhere near social science research.

So, esteemed Dr Bilski, who are your favorite announcers? For me, it will always be (clip featuring his favorite Bud Harrelson scrapping w/major d*ckhead Pete R*se) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tqi...

🙄

should anyone in their right mind give one jot about what this grotesque sh*t has to say about anything?

Indeed, this document discusses no campus aside from Yale. Curiously, despite graduating sh*theads such as Junior D*ckhead, William B F*ckley, and GHW B*sh, it notes 'conservative concern' (16) about Yale and cautioned about 'echo chambers' (18) 😑

Wow, I can see the right wing grievance grift is still viable. Clock is ticking for Kustov to write a piece for the Free Press and have a sit down interview on CBS Morning crowing about how Claude Code will finally defeat diversity in higher Ed.

Higher Education in the 2020s, ladies and gentlemen.

No one will save us. We have to save ourselves.

Israeli soldiers using sexual assault to force Palestinians out of West Bank, report says Experts say attacks, also carried out by settlers, are leading girls to quit school and enter early marriages Israeli soldiers and settlers are using gendered violence and sexual assault and harassment to force Palestinians from their homes in the occupied West Bank, human rights and legal experts say. Palestinian women, men and children have reported attacks, forced nudity, invasive and painful body cavity searches, Israelis exposing their genitals, including to minors, and threats of sexual violence.

The FCC Has a Fast Lane for Complaints About Trump’s Media Critics Internal emails obtained by WIRED reveal how a conservative legal group with a direct line into FCC chairman Brendan Carr’s office built the case against Jimmy Kimmel and his employees.

A small conservative legal group used direct access to the Federal Communications Commission chairman’s office last September to accelerate a complaint targeting Jimmy Kimmel and his employer, ABC

TAT: [Corruption | Suppressing dissent]

Just want to be clear: I acknowledge I wrote qual instead of quant.
1. His thesis was not distinguished thus originally when he posted on Bluesky, to much pushback.
2. The Chron is allowing him to shape the narrative.
3. Please focus on his rampant contempt for his colleagues/rightwing grift.

I look forward to your report!

This is a most interesting--and essential--issue as it entailed the establishment of trust in the new government(s). 'States' were relatively straightforward since most colonial governments collapsed in the summer of 1775 (William Franklin/NJ being the exception)

Spiders--or Naps--should have been the new/restored name

an excellent question! aging brain had thought/hoped that 'Indians' name came from Penobscot Cleveland great Louis Sockalexis (who played for Spiders) but this might be wishful thinking (this predates the creation of the outright racist 'Chief Wahoo' image)

you mean that these people had to be fed and watered and the purveyors wished to be paid?! 🙃

@actualkatherine.bsky.social and @raherrmann.bsky.social make a most formidable scholarly pair, if I may observe (quality in spades here if not quantity) 😁

Byeeeeee.

Americans deserve a Labor Secretary who will fight for their rights — not someone fighting scandals and allegations their family members are sexually assaulting federal staff.

It’s time for Hegseth and Patel to go next.

Keep this in mind next time Dreher opines on welfare, the state, and minorities.
