You can now read from nearly 40 years of free times issues at these Columbia libraries.

In the late 90s, there was a personal ad in the Free Times obviously written for me. Never responded. Wondered what would’ve happened if I did.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Makes me laugh, makes me cry.
Best friend rice.

I usually just scroll past content I don’t care about. However, I just can’t this time. You know that woman on the receiving end of the John Cena prank call? I approaching that level of annoyance.

I swear to God, if I read any more “news” about L**a D**h**, I am going to lose it. Yes, I know she has a book to promote, but make it all stop.

This is going to be a great class! Details and registration here: cinejourneys.com/the-warner-b...

Additional classes include a number of killer topics from Imogen Sara Smith, Ty Burr, Steven Bingen, @positivelytonsils.bsky.social, @matthiasellis.bsky.social, @biscuitkitten.bsky.social, etc etc

Wit, unker, git: The lost medieval pronouns of English intimacy Tales of love and adventure from 1,000 years ago reveal a dazzling range of now-extinct English pronouns. They capture something unique about how people once thought about "two-ness".

Did some readings for this little BBC piece on extinct English pronouns www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I fell asleep on the front nine. (Since my mom’s passing, my sleep schedule is all out of whack.) Looks like he steadied the ship on the back nine, except for that errant tee shot on 18.

So many walks to and from my apartment to Uni Trier, I listened to this song.

The Skids helped me cope with life overseas.
Big Country’s later discography woefully flew under the radar. The Buffalo Skinners? “I don’t have the time that I used to.” 😢

I’m glad someone else has taken over the NTBTS screenshots! I started the one on Tumblr about eight years ago. Happy to pass the torch. (I don’t have time now!)

I’m getting Turkmenistan vibes.

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid."

Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid.

...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.

Great thread.
During my bartending days, we always ordered Clamato for Masters Week. Why? So many Canadians stayed at the hotel, and we would make so many Caesars.

My mother used to say, “You are giving me agita” and I always thought that word was made-up. Linguistics helped me understand the etymology.

Apple News alert that reads: “Why more Gen Z men are turning to Catholicism, a favorite design trend that makes homes harder to sell, and more popular reads.”

I do feel like a semicolon might’ve been helpful

Tapping the sign

From a FB group: “Nobody told me working in a restaurant is working with high school drama …..”

It is.
However, I never expected all the high school drama in academia. (Both sides of the desk)

Even if I’m not a huge fan of his humor, he is such a treasure. So cool when he showed up on Homicide:LOTS.

Image with text at the top that reads: "Wayback Machine Then and Now" then "Marshmallowpeeps.com" and "Peepsbrand.com". Below are Wayback Machine captures of the Peeps website from March 3, 2000, and March 7, 2026.

🐥 #Peeps marshmallow chicks have been around for 73 years! 🤯

Their official website's decades old, but tracing its changing domains is like an Easter egg hunt through web history.

I seriously think this is one of the biggest disconnects. LLMs constantly and confidently produce misinformation, and it requires enormous amounts of vigilance to work with them under high standards of rigor. If people don't care about facts or rigor, of course they'll think this is miracle tech.
