Me upon finding out it is Monday yet again

The AI ads tonight remind me of the Crypto ads four or five years ago and that brings me comfort

At least Notre Dame won as many CFP games as Ohio St this year

I did it everyone! I beat Gmail

Ideas for the future of Indianapolis' schools are coming into clearer view and they're a bit complex. @mirrorindy.org attempted to break it all down. The key question at play: Who should get control over Indianapolis' traditional public and charter schools? mirrorindy.org/ips-indianap...

Today is day one without the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It’s also the first day of WVPE’s fall membership drive. 100% of federal and state funding is gone, which now means 100% of our funding comes from this community. You. Call 888-399-9873 or visit wvpe.org to donate today.

If you told me the number 93 would factor big in my weekend I would think it would be my golf score—not the combined total number of points given up by the two main football teams I root for:p

Late night quad box is beautiful

“A living, breathing virus inflicting pain on opponents in ways that seem almost preternatural” for a team that was 16th in YPG allowed and 5th in PPG. That an above average defense let’s not get dramatic

Logging back into work after a 4-day weekend

star wars but in the wrong movies: thread

i feel like making it to the nfl would be really hard to begin with. and then you finally get there and they make you do all that running around? you gotta be kidding me

Also true for journalists!

If you loved an author’s book, tell them! They will completely ignore it because they’re fixated forever on the anonymous person who once gave them two stars on goodreads but it’s probably good for your karma

God bless the people putting their tickets on StubHub for $50 more than the face value tickets that are still available.

Appreciated this feature on Prof. Burman. A great intellectual who was an engaging lecturer (not an easy combo to pull off!). A lot of what he’s calling for at the Medieval Academy of America sounds like what we heard in his lectures. al.nd.edu/news/latest-...

This always seemed the most likely outcome after the injury. Pacers owner is 90+ years old. Coming off a finals run and with no haliburton for the next season, he was never going to try and be competitive next year in terms of the payroll

I’m liking posts that are only marginally funny on here to get engagement up. Everyone’s gotta do their part man

Guess I have to do the thing:

When I say I’m a tortured writer, what I mean is I spent 30 minutes writing a Letterboxed review of the Titanic submersible doc and it didn’t save:p

Reporters have little to no input on editorials or other opinion pieces a publication puts out. Second one is we aren’t going to run a story if the only source of information is “you heard something is happening.”

What’s common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Not everything you think should be said out loud.

I'm trying to decode this piece by Jacob Stewart in the @indystar.bsky.social from yesterday I am an opponent of state-sanctioned death as punishment but this piece had me scratching my head A few thoughts in a quick 🧵 1/ www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

Society really lost its way when we moved away from food-based telephones

Hot take: I didn’t actually enjoy watching the U.S. Open this year. Especially the last day when the rain made it just sad and less a test of skill than of luck on your lie. Felt like basketball game where there were fouls every possession

Why Hard Times has it out for us poor Dream Theater fans, I don’t know

Late on this but the Athletic having a Tim Chalamet ad in its wrap of the pacers beating the knicks is too funny

SPARK, the pop-up park on Monument Circle, has taken over a roadway in downtown Indy for the third straight year. In a city grappling with how to make its streets more pedestrian-friendly, what would it take for something like SPARK to become year-round? I explore in today's piece:

This was too good not to share. @carleylanich.bsky.social came up with the most metal album name last night with “The Popes That Never Were.”

There’s a woman in the crowd at the French Open with a baseball cap that just says “Voltaire” and that’s incredible

At a full Pacers bar watching the game but cheering when Timothee Chalamet comes on screen

This is some rock shit from the 70s or 80s. Good to know The Who still got it

Love the first two. Navy in November at night? Ehhhh

“That’s what happens when you turn 30. You stop talking about online celebrities and you start talking about your yard”- @carleylanich.bsky.social

Has anyone done a thesis on the wave? Such an interesting social phenomenon

“I am Paul Muad’dib Atreides! POPE of Arrakis!"

Does anyone else get the song that Jack Black’s old band from School of Rock does at the Battle of the Bands stuck in their heads? Or is that just me.

First car jumping as a couple! Sound off in the comments who you think needed the jumpstart!

Proud of this one: Indiana lawmakers want IN to be a mecca for data centers, offering generous tax incentives. But recently small communities in various pockets of the state have pressured local officials to block new data center projects. www.insideindianabusiness.com/articles/ind...

The Onion Looks Back On Pope Francis Busting His Holy Ass

As a former Catholic, I respected most of what Pope Francis was about. The Church could do way worse than him and I worry they’ll go a different direction with the new pope

What’s the most wholesome food to chop and why is it onions?

I’d really like Rory to win the Masters instead of DeChambeau

Car commercials be like “Why settle for what possible? Let perfection drive you to the ends of reality. If you buy a Lexus you can touch the face of God."

“What’s the past tense of sleet-is it sleeted or slat?”- @carleylanich.bsky.social

I’ll go on record as cautiously optimistic about the Robert Pattinson Dune casting item.
