Ben, last season didn't seem to be the best set of road food cities. 2026 looks more promising. Which road game are you most looking forward to for local cuisine?

Totally! I've always disliked their hockey program for helping destroy the CCHA

I did, but being from Big Rapids probably helped know that

Big 10 making a hockey conference killed the CCHA for several years. All the other schools like FSU and WMU were left to scramble for new conference alignments

This digital map and archive of Italian punk zines from the 1980s has been blowing my mind all day. Some of it is weird to load but it's worth the effort. Tons of energy! Some interesting art zines too. paolopalmacci.it/capitmundi/b...

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

The academic’s mid-summer crisis is a mid-life crisis in miniature:

You realize summer is half gone, & not only that: you see that the longest & least burdened days came early, & they are well past. You compare all you thought you’d do against the days remaining & grieve for what never will be

New map highlights complex web of marine migrations Where are all the marine animals going? Given the vastness of the oceans, the countless species that live in them, and the lack of a global data set, it’s not easy to figure that out. However, the…

A new database on marine migratory patterns aims to address gaps in the knowledge of policymakers and conservationists.

Trump Cuts Are Killing a Tiny Office That Keeps Measurements of the World Accurate A tiny but crucial agency that maintains physical coordinates like latitude and longitude in the US is struggling as the Trump administration forces out federal employees.

The work of NGS, says Tim Burch, the executive director of the National Society of Professional Surveyors, “is kind of like oxygen. You don’t know you need it until it’s not there."

The Truth Isn't Out There: Religion and Belief in Aliens This post has been unlocked through a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment for the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA).

"There's been an overall shift toward the idea of aliens visiting the Earth. You can see it in every category. It's especially apparent among the share who said 'strongly disagree.' For biblical literalists, that share dropped 18 points..."

AP Human Geography website showing 2 instead of 3 available videos.

So apparently the AP Human Geography site is culling some of its "daily videos" for class use. A teacher tells me the videos on redlining and white flight are gone. In the screenshot below, you can see the Daily Videos start with no. 2 (no. 1 on this page was redlining, and it's gone now).

The most striking result from yesterday’s German election #btw2025 🇩🇪:

🔹 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map.
🔹 The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East.
🔹 In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%!

Why is this happening? Here’s my take 👇

Google Maps has added in satellite imagery of the areas of Los Angeles that were destroyed by the fires. I don't think I fully appreciated the scale of the destruction before seeing this.

Map from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.

Map from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.

New global stats from the CSGC on Pentecostals/ Charismatics for early 2025: 663,863,000. This now corresponds to a quarter of all Christians globally.

In 2050, the projected number of Pentecostals/ Charismatics will be 1,031,503,000. This will represent a third of all Christians globally.

How A.I. Could Reshape the Economic Geography of America (Gift Article) As the technology is widely adopted, some once-struggling midsize cities in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and South may benefit, new research predicts.

What such proclamations — and smart city / Neom-ish boosterism — fail(s)to do is contextualize these claims in relation to similar arguments made about earlier media technologies (the web! 📺! ☎️! print!) and 1000s of years of entangled media + urban histories (the subject of my 2017 book)!

Me: Santa Cruz had been trying to fix the wharf since 2016, but there are complications.

Mrs Woolie: Real technical or financial complications, or like, California bullshit, they can't fix it because a historic preservation group threw a fit?

Çatalhöyük: Its Story Continues - JSTOR Daily Our understanding of the Neolithic city of Çatalhöyük continues to evolve as archaeologists challenge inherited biases in the face of new material evidence.

“[w]e are not witnessing a patriarchy or a matriarchy. What we are seeing is perhaps more interesting—a society in which, in many areas, the question of whether you were a man or a woman did not determine the life you could lead.”
