Look what I got at the grocery store where it was on extreme clearance for some reason

Me holding a thing of KD RAMEN. there's a picture of ramen but it's Kraft Dinner orange. And cheese sauce appears to be spilling over the edge of the bowl

I listen to the Wilco a lot more these days, but in actual factual 2001 I absolutely loved Vespertine, and apparently that's my voting criteria here.

you may think i am joking but i am not. they’re talking about AI the way protestant zealots talked about the end times. in both cases we are hearing people talk about themselves — their desires, their lust for destruction, their yearning to trample their rivals underfoot.

By chance bought a Pamela Branch mystery in Lucca recently, as my wife read a Christianna Brand. Otherwise, I don't think I'd have twigged that Brand's detective is seemingly reading a crime novel written by Branch's character. Given they were friends it tracks, though.

St Bartholomew's Day Massacre today, 1572. I really enjoyed this little note from a Folger curator about their acquiring a Hogenberg print of the event (I would not have had a problem having my name attached to the collection!) www.folger.edu/blogs/collat...

We have just had proper rain here for the first time since June - and I have just come to realise that the purpose of Test cricket as a ritual in England is TO MAKE IT RAIN IN THE SUMMER. We have angered the gods with The Hundred and we must return to the old ways.

Ghost houses. The houses on Pape just north of the tracks have been expropriated by Metrolinx due to Ontario Line construction. They leave the lights on, so you can see into the abandoned houses at night. Still with bits of their former lives sometimes.

Eclipse at the cricket tonight. Someone had tons of extra glasses and our whole section got a good look

A cricket stand full of people. The digital board says 'Do not look at the sun'

I'm a member of two different cricket club group chats trying to figure out if they're going to be able to keep playing through the eclipse this evening or how many overs they might lose to light.

Increasingly coming to the view that the Harvard referencing system is the death of stylish academic writing. Flow as a reader is impossible when the text is littered with regular occurrences of (Boggins and Zuglinsky 2022).

I’m very pleased that the trade press is giving space to the Exeter horror. Next challenge is for them to look a little further down the league tables - Northumbria perhaps, or my own place. We have feelings too.

One of my colleagues is doing a presentation on how great AI is, and to prove the point he got AI to create the slides for him, and he asked AI to save the presentation and I think you can all guess where this is going... Anyway, we've all learned an important lesson about using AI.

@edsbs.bsky.social great call on Kapuściński-- I've not read that one but his little reports from 60s Poland are incredible (in both senses). Was without anything to read in Krakow once and was steered right to his stuff.

I remember a curator at the National Museum in Dublin telling me about the storage space wasted on the vast amounts of 1916-related junk they received from the public. The Cricket Bat That Died For Ireland was a favourite (it was in a shop window and got a bullet through it.)
