All these sports/prediction betting market companies need to be boiled in oil and then flushed down the garbage disposal. The damage they are doing is immense.

Oof, looks like I'm once again gonna have to send out one of those "as per my previous email" emails. I hate being that guy but sometimes you gotta be that guy.

As an astronomer, renaming AI as SI makes it even more objectionable to me. Maybe if they tried renaming it to "computational groking service" it would be acceptable. Nahh, not even then.

Fire Dan Quinn. Right now. One of the worst coaching decisions I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.

Steve Winwood's "Arc of a Diver" album: Very 1980 but also Very good.

Boy howdy, if you're in the mood for a spectacular track, just queue up Lucinda Williams' "Joy". Just so so good. Photo courtesy Ebet Roberts/Redferns

Today I, once again, uselessly fed dollar bills into the great voracious slot that is the for-profit US medical industry. The good news is that I have now hit the out-of-pocket limit on our insurance plan, so going forward all the dollar bills I feed into that slot will be the insurance company's.

Just had a meeting with my grad student about her project. She said to me (paraphrased): "Your suggestion for how to do <thing> kind of sucked, so I worked out this <much better solution>." It's that phase transition from junior grad student to senior grad student that is so great to see!

Bold move by Dr Pepper to hire the most dislikeable person in college football for their commercials....

Well, Michigan still has a lot of things to clean up, but this was a good win over Oklahoma.

My sister just sent me the birth announcement my parents sent out <mubledy> years ago. Evidently I was born at 5:15am. For the past 20+ years, I have been setting my wakeup alarm for 5:15am. Now I know why.....

Shakespeare is timeless: "It is most retrograde to our desire" (Claudius, Hamlet, I.ii). Is there a better or more astronomical way of saying "no"? 🔭

I've said this many times before, but listening to Mick Jagger simply burn the house down with his vocals on the back side of Exile on Main Street is one of the great pleasures in life. Image by Jim Marshall

As we start the college football season, here's my unpopular, unsolicited grampaw opinion: Night kickoffs suck.

Not too surprising, although I'm not sure where the desert southwest part comes in. Maybe too much time spent on Kitt Peak?

A "dialect map" showing the US color-coded by the regions my speech is most similar too. Big hot spot for me in the DC/Baltimore area, another hot spot in California, and a weaker hot spot in the desert southwest.

Looks like the hubblereview auto-notification system is mis-firing today. Either that or I just PI'd an HST proposal submission that I wasn't aware of....

After two months in the house, Big Boy Murdock seems *almost* ready to come join us in the lair of the ferocious downstairs dog-beast. He's not quite there yet, but he's considering it.

"Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts" was the gateway drug for ten year old me to start a life-long love of Bob Dylan's music.

Laughing that Ted Cruz and the rest of the Republican echo chamber are doing their best to show Michigan voters how disconnected and ignorant they are of Michigan sports culture.

If the Vikings are gonna let JJ McCarthy go, I'd love to see the Browns pick him up.
