vs. No It Won't

Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia

alternative ending:

Will gen alpha believe this was cool in the early 2000s? I remember looking at this at the height of the skinny jean era and thinking "how did we think this was cool?"

What a world

Life stochastic, it's fantastic

Nah they yassified the google slide deck 😭

San Rodrigo, by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo Died 13 March 857 Córdoba, Al-Andalus Venerated in Eastern Orthodox Church Roman Catholic Church Feast 13 March Tradition states that he was a Christian priest of Cabra who had two brothers: one was a Muslim, the other irreligious. Once, after his brothers began to fight one another, Roderick attempted to break up the fight. However, they turned on him instead and beat him. When Roderick awoke, he found that his Muslim brother had reported to the authorities that Roderick had converted to Islam. When Roderick maintained his loyalty to the Christian faith, he was accused of apostasy from Islam under Sharia law. He was imprisoned and then beheaded along with Salomon (Solomon) at Córdoba.

St. Rodrigo may have been the first target of the “received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the shahada" meme

Sometimes it went away when I looked directly at it. I had to use my peripheral vision

this is the first wikipedia article about an individual tiktok which felt historic so i brought this guy on stage last week at my chicago show! he rocked so much

The important thing to remember is that The Big Bang Theory, a multi-camera show, spun off Young Sheldon, a single-camera show, which then spun off George and Mandy’s First Marriage, a multi-camera show. This is the first time in tv history that this has happened. We live in unprecedented times!!!!

I'm an NBA purist.

Most of tiktok/reels/&c. isn't posting. It's the dominant social media right now, by a mile, but most of what's on there is Content Creators clocking in for their full time job at the vertical video factory. That's not posting. Those aren't posts.

I still think "Literally Jimmy" should be his basketball reference nickname

Me at my wedding vs Me when It Happens Guy on the left in hoodie and pajama pants guy on the right in a dark suit, with Rubio's comically oversized dress shoes photoshopped on.

Although I guess I know what shoes I'm wearing when It Happens

Damn, I've had Florsheims for 20 years since I got them last minute for high school graduation. They're old enough that the soles aren't rubber and won't explode if I wear them to a funeral

He said eat the rich

How dare they befoul the Indiana Jones font like this

Oversized shoes? You mean the hallmark of the clown? The jester? Big floppy shoes for me to prance and jape about in like some joker? Well okay yes sir I like them very much.

i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable

We're lucky he's got a great name. Wilt, Bam, Kobe sounds like it fits

Set a new career high by halftime

Lakers in-arena announcer. I AM HOWLING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is on the short list of outlier performances in sports history. Up there with Bob Beamon's long jump record

I'm looking forward to watching the replay on this one to see what happened (other than the Wizards being a fake NBA team)

He had 43 at the half!

I've always been a fan of Bam's game, but he would've been nowhere near my list of players who could get 80. His previous career high was 41! He more than doubled that!
