This is how folks engaging in the humanities handle interpretation of cultural artifacts, because even if we could know authorial intent, it's our experience of the thing that represents that matters. Assigning agency to the artifact is what allows for open and personal interpretation

You can’t win football matches like this. It’s just a game—one you’re paid £200k per week to play—but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to **work**. When it’s ok to be sloppy or phone it in: - folding bed sheets - making stew - packing your work bag When it’s not: - playing an elimination Cup game

I recently translated a 19th-century rhymed French monologue—and I do not consider myself a poet. Capturing the meaning while sticking to a rhythm and rhyme scheme was hard. But—and I say this as someone who loves this song—I was re-reading Stevens’s track “Fourth of July,” and I felt like I got it

I’ve suffered through “Citadel” season 2, HBO’s new “Steal” this year… so my expectations were low when I found the next recommended thriller: The Undeclared War. But it is amazing.

Rewatching Ted Lasso season 3, in prep to watch 4. And the whole story arc about how Zava prefers West Ham over Richmond, a team that was just promoted again after relegation… because West Ham are so obviously strong, clearly the “safe” EPL club. It makes me sad… and the Hammers nearly lost today 😢

I love Dolly Parton. I recommend everyone enjoy The Orville’s archaic mythology of the great Earth poet Dolly Parton. And yes, the muse/woman herself made an actual cameo during an important episode about gender identity during Topa’s story arc.

France and the UK are old societies. Older than the US. And maybe age is to blame for an entrenched encrustation encompassing the core infrastructure of buildings, archives, etc., which is impenetrable for individuals outside a certain pipeline. The US is younger. It’s historically been different.

What attack? What high press? Not only is there never anyone on the end of a cross—not even with Šeško and Rashford up front—but even with the bulk of possession being held by our central defender, the defense is abysmal. 0 offense + 0 defense = United gloom

It’s really hard to pick who will win today’s stage. Pogacar lost last year, so maybe he’ll want this today. I think Carapaz is exhausted after this last week, otherwise I’d give the “most aggressive” rider a second look 🇪🇨 💪

The football team won! 🇪🇸 The good guys defeated the latest avatar of anti-football or the “dark arts.” 🇦🇷 Not a single shot. Not one attempt. In, what was it, over 120 minutes of regulation time? That has to be a record. And rightly called “anti-football.”

You know what I don’t need: a representation of the temperature as a difference between today and the average 1991-2020. It’s hotter. It’s always hotter. If it were, by some statistical anomaly, cooler, I probably wouldn’t be looking at the temperature.

Spain are a really tough opponent for Belgium. That first-half equalizer was so important, and a real team effort.

Jury’s still out for Argentina. But as for Portugal, I was confident this would happen. When Renaldo went back to United, he was always running offside, sitting up the pitch, waiting for someone else to win back the ball and pass. He didn’t track back. He was selfish. It was like playing a man down

There’s been some quality football (soccer) at this World Cup. And football is rarely about national teams—virtually all of these guys have a “day job” that’s pretty cool: playing football together for clubs in diverse cities around the globe. The USMNT is out. But this is a fun sport. Enjoy it!

I love that we’re in the knockout stage and that the heat dome is gone. And it’s the weekend. This South Africa / Canada game is not of the greatest quality, but it’s still fun. And the whole time, you know something big is eventually going to happen. Davies? 🇨🇦

It’s still too early to replay the US match, so I’m enjoying Ecuador v. Germany. Love that a woman is ref’ing and the assistant ref is also a woman. Don’t love she allowed that first goal, but I’m gonna blame the VAR team. Not only was that a high boot, but it clearly caught Vite in the head. 🤕

Kelly Christensen @katkel.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

5 AM again, to open the window. The heat dome persists. This time, the low is 27C (80F) so I hope to get the apartment down to that before shuttering again at 8:30. This has to be the new record? In other apocalyptic news, I’ll watch a replay of the US match when I wake up for real in an hour.

Kelly Christensen @katkel.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

It’s 5 AM. I’ve gotten up to open the windows for the day. Between now and 7 AM is the lowest temperature we’ll see, and it’s 29 degrees. Maybe it’ll drop further to 28. Is that the coolest we can bring our apartment down to? France is in trouble, and there’s still no plan.

The shot stopping from this Congolese keeper 🇨🇩 (Mpasi) is really something! But with Colombia’s aggressive and relentless attack, I don’t see how something doesn’t eventually break through. Exciting game!

Kelly Christensen @katkel.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

I didn’t watch the England game, but from what I’ve read, this disallowed goal in the first 8 minutes of the Colombia 🇨🇴 DRC 🇨🇩 game was more exciting than England and Ghana’s first 45 minutes. Both these teams are really fun. I particularly love the hustle from Colombia, and attitude from both.

Kelly Christensen @katkel.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

The French government defines a heatwave, not just by how hot it gets in the day, but by how low it drops at night. When 72 hours pass without any relief below 20 degrees to cool down residences, that’s considered dangerous. We might get down to 21 degrees Sunday morning around 6am. Until then, 🥵🫩
