There was a Christian ethic interwoven into it as well — runners would wear wristbands with an Isaiah verse (“they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint”) or post that on social media — to some athletics was seen as a reaffirmation of that faith I’ll check out the book!

I was on an athletic team at a 6A school in Texas (xc / track and field) — every aspect of our performance was moralized this way and especially by parents — we’d be bent at the waist seeing stars in the heat and there’d still be some parent insisting to our coach that he wasn’t pushing us enough

That’s how I feel about lyrics from these two albums from Childers (recommend listening to; chronological order of course)

Support local journalism and you, too, can develop a paranoia that every woodland mammal in your area has rabies

Have had no reason to post about them here — but I read the Staten Island Advance (where I’ve lived ~2 years now) and have come to appreciate how they keep me informed on every move Pete Davidson and Colin Jost make on their ferry scheme

Reminds me: once consulted AI on how to supplement my nutrition on a week when I had multiple 10km+ runs planned — I don’t have a screenshot but remember it gave me the same “fats are hard to digest” wisdom and recommended I eat 16-18 tablespoons (i.e. a CUP) of honey to restore my glycogen

Hiked from Yonkers north to Dobbs Ferry — the Hudson Valley Museum (a few minutes outside town) and the Untermyer Gardens (a few more) are worth a visit

Meridith Kohut has a talent for portraiture — she’s covered many Texas and Latin America stories for the NYT — but the portraits in this article reminded me of those from this piece on SR-17018 and kratom addiction from May (linked below)

One of the (many) problems with chest-pounding sloganeering like "maximum lethality, not tepid legality" is that you're less likely to get any benefit of the doubt when you're accused of attacking civilians.

They’re going to bury me with my copy of Skyrim for the PlayStation 3 one day — and the next day Bethesda is going to send someone to dig me up

Feeling bad for whatever process server BLM hires to serve an eviction notice on a tenant who’s 1,800 pounds and illiterate

Had to scroll back through my camera roll but found it — spotted on the side of the road near Conshohocken, PA, on August 12th — there were some stretches on my hike around that area outside Philly where nearly every house had one

Traded a $1 bill for a copy of Victor S. Navasky’s Naming Names the other afternoon — already well worth it to read passages like these where the Sixth Amendment remained perfectly fine and intact

Jasmine Sun on What the AI Industry Got Wrong About the Public Backlash

In all seriousness though @jasmine.bsky.social has done some impressive field work on this — was reminded because I recently listened to her appearance on Odd Lots from Bloomberg (linked below) open.spotify.com/episode/2udy...

Really great work. I could read an entire book on the story you open with in the introduction — court records and FOIAs are onerous terrain to begin with, let alone when you’re trying to take on something like Attica

As a court, we’ve done a great job not constraining the president. If only we had some big, ugly, hugely unpopular monument to commemorate it with.

Thanks for sharing. This is the kind of thing that can creep up on institutions if their librarians and professors don’t have eyes on it.

Oh shit, declarations? Well why didn't you say so.

Nor is that all. The government has also presented declarations from the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Director of the United States Secret Service, and the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Secretary of the Army, among others, attesting to national security and other harms that would likely arise from enjoining a "sin-gle, coherent" project that cannot be readily cleaved into distinct below- and above-ground pieces.

They want us to move away from ownership to electronic access only, so they are forcing us into it with unsustainable price increases. Then they can easily dictate what we do with the online, access only versions. 3/5

The gig is up in the very first sentence of the Supreme Court's per curiam opinion on the Trump ballroom (emphasis added): "In October 2025, the *federal government* started a project to replace the East Wing of the White House." They've collapsed the legislative branch into the unitary executive.

Nice HUS-1 (“Little Didia”) — didn’t find out much about her online — but tonight I learned that the Sikorsky H-34’s that appeared in Full Metal Jacket were actually civilian-model Westland Wessex helicopters (a British under licence development of the Sikorsky) that Kubrick had painted green

Up late reading @historianheather.bsky.social’s Blood in the Water on the Attica prison uprising in upstate New York in 1971 and was compelled to tab this scene — incisive writing
