Let me fix this headline for you… “Asshole egomaniac and wannabe auteur, who destroyed a priceless piece of vintage guitar history for a lark, shares opinion no one asked for about work far better than his own” www.guitarworld.com/features/the...

The way the commentators have spoken and the coverage has framed Taylor at an NBA game versus the NFL is an object lesson in intersectionality

Can’t believe this wasn’t at least an A level team…

What I would not give for a Better Call Saul / Breaking Bad side story following the student film crew.

Still from the show Better Call Saul where actor Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill interacts with three actors playing the roles of film school students. They are on location at a New Mexico strip mall.

Vance and Rubio collectively share one. Its name is in the language of Mordor which I will not utter here…

When the psychology building was built at UGA the architect asked each professor if they wanted a window and then just did them all haphazard. 1) who does that, and 2) what kind of psycho doesn’t want a window?!?

Image of the side of the psychology building at the University of Georgia. The building has several windows but they are strewn haphazardly with no pattern.

Also, obviously hope Leo seems like a real stand-up guy, but of all the times in history to have a humble magnanimous Pope. I could really go for some good old-fashioned papal SmackDown right about now…

Mabel is getting her last puppy shots today, please send thoughts and paw-yers…

Very cute tan puppy looking mournful as it awaits a veterinary appointment. The puppy has a cherry eye and one ear sticks straight up while the other flops over.

In the South it’s empty Country Crock containers because you can’t be leaving Mema’s without some leftovers!

Personally, I would rate Jan 6, 2021 as quite a bit lower on the “decorum scale” myself, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ll see your pontius pilate and raise you an Andy Warhol in Basquiat

Image of David Bowie as Andy Warhol and Jeffrey Wright as Jean-Michele Basquiat from the movie “Basquiat.” Bowie is in all black with a signature Warhol grey wig and Wright is in an orange sweater. They both lean against a chain link fence covering a concrete wall that has red graffiti. The graffiti evokes the style of SAMO, Jean-Michele Basquiat’s alter-ego street artist.

I’m admittedly a little biased bc Journalism & Media History is what I do, but I believe that Journalism majors understanding historical context is one of the ways we get “anti-democracy conspirators” instead of “election denial movement” in these kinds of headlines…

Screenshot of a headline to an NBC News article that reads: “A ‘constitutional sheriff’ tried to seize voting machines in 2020. Officials are bracing for a repeat. In a rural county in southwest Michigan, a sheriff who sees himself as holding supreme authority has become a hero in the election denial movement.”

I’m going to step out and say this is a good omen. Tim Walz will bring the #PurpleRain when the red states go blue. Why let the fundamentalists have all the prophetic signs? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
