Yeah, the big difference to me is that Korok seeds did get you something useful. When I first did a challenge in mkw, and all I got was a sticker: 😐

Why would Japan use a Latin-origin word for animation? I’m happy to be corrected, but my understanding is that early Japanese manga & anime artists were heavily influenced by French cartoonists. That’s why you have Lupin, a French character, as one of the earliest touchstones

“Dessin animé” (literally “animated drawing”) is the French term for cartoon.

Brendan @freshhegemony.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

There’s a reason we use a French word to describe Japanese animation lol

One of the funniest moments in my college career was when a poetry professor, a very sweet old man, told me, wrt meter, “I don’t understand. You get it conceptually and are clearly trying very hard, but you still can’t do it at all.”

i think the thing people don't really understand is that it's not search which has gone to shit, not entirely. it's the internet.

It’s difficult to both recognize it for what it is and not get caught in a loop of blaming myself. But, you know, we’re working on it

And then I’m stuck, not being productive, more “irresponsible,” and it goes on and on

Brendan @freshhegemony.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Thanks! Yeah, for me it’s that fear of having committed a moral transgression of not being perfectly “responsible enough” (with money, time, decisions, whatever) and the theoretical consequences (which, I will, of course, deserve)

Great article, especially the ending. I appreciate the apparent candor you were able to get from Pagliocca, but it’s hard not to wonder at this point what they can do to pull together

Idk how common the “stuckness” experience is, but personally it’s responsible for about 30% of my conversations in therapy

Wait, why? I took calc in school and just read a couple of Wikipedia pages on the economic concept of marginal utility. It seemed like a fairly intuitive concept turned into a formula. What am I missing about what this means for critical thinking?

The Bulls did get Rose with a 1.7% chance. They’ve had almost 20 years of not tanking and still sucking though so we’re due

They are apparently on something called ion. I have no idea what that is or how to access it, and the answer does not seem to be readily available

I dropped my place in line after seeing other people get in, and it was already “sold out.” So, it’s a crapshoot either way

Really enjoyed Babel by @rfkuang.bsky.social. It was my first time reading her work, and I was initially skeptical of the setting, but she does such a great job drawing you in with characters in the 1st half and then going to levels I never would have expected in the 2nd half

Always baffles me when someone said “I didn’t hear about that when I was a kid.” Of course you didn’t. You were a child. You hadn’t heard of most things. I didn’t know who Paul Newman was when I was a kid, that doesn’t mean he didn’t exist.

Hiring Patton was the most positive thing the Bulls had done in the last several years. So, this is awful. Also, good to know they only have one analytics guy now too 🫠

I once heard @kitandkrysta.bsky.social say on their show that it’s from the legal team and an attempt to avoid any of their trademarks becoming genericized. This seems insane to me but also like something Nintendo would be convinced of

What was the thought process that went into trading next years pick in order to get back to back picks this year? Why did they feel like they needed to get a second pick in this draft after trading away #3?
