How points and scoring will work in ShePlays fantasy NWSL 2026 (this time with tables because we figured out how to do that!) (you may need to swipe to the side to see them all on mobile, but we hope this is more straightforward!)

In what could be a parody of a novel about academia, but currently my life, the adults on this vacation are a physicist, an artist, two novelists, a therapist, a science educator, a writing instructor, and a philosopher.
In the book, the rock alien is the only survivor on its ship (many die). Later it has a medical calamity. But ultimately survives.

Thinking about Werner Herzog's LESSONS OF DARKNESS as I scroll past videos of oil fields on fire in Iran. Worth a revisit (or first viewing), which you can access for free on @archive.org archive.org/details/less...
Olivia Rodrigo read this and said, sure, why not?
A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, itβs not a publishing problem, itβs a men problem.

So many, but the first to come to mind is the βdisco will never dieβ monologue at the end of The Last Days of Disco, and how cleverly Stillman undercuts it and undercuts the undercut.
Rightfully so!
Iβve never felt like there was a consensus on what was *the* song on 69 LOVE SONGS, but recently Iβve seen more references to and covers of βThe Book of Love.β Has that emerged as *the* song?
No. I thought she swiped her with the back leg. But looked clean. (Cleats maybe slightly up.)
This time Hayes is serious about Heapsβs positional discipline!
And theyβre club teammates!

βHayes says sheβs given Heaps a lot of clarity about the need to keep disciplined [in positioning]β
Yes I was thinking theyβre all playing some variation of a 10, with Moultrie in that pocket.
Hayes has said Dahlien can play a winger or wingback, so thatβs a likely spot.
Pretty close to a USWNT B-team. Canada will likely get the current top unit.
Not many existing partnerships on the field. Could be clunky opening (regardless of goals).
Moultrie-Heaps-Shaw is not a combo I ever expected to see. That plus 3 backs(?), suggest Hayes is anticipating a low block.
Apologies to anyone Iβve cancelled a meeting with, but I am backlogged on emails apologizing for not emailing sooner.
Iβve now lived in the South long enough that sometimes when scrolling quickly I see White House but it scans as Waffle House.

If you're curious about what the Bicentennial looked like on TV, I co-authored a chapter on 1976 material in the @peabodyawards.bsky.social archive. We found "flag-waving patriotism appearing alongside subversive dissent." It's not 'pro-America' to silence dissent.

I had the pleasure of reviewing @cjbartel.bsky.social's new book *Aesthetics and Video Games* for the Journal of Aesthetics & Art Criticism.
Here's an illustrated thread summarising the book and my thoughts:

I must follow too many Millennials and Gen Z on here because I knew Alyssa Liu won but not that she won to MacArthur freaking Park!
