Civil War battlefields are a trip to visit because it's always a little heady to remember that the same years-long fight happened across literally thousands of miles. And they're all so peaceful and quiet!

Northwest Arkansas is an interesting place. Reminds me a bit of places like Sonora and West Virginia, which is a good thing.

Listening to two Texas men in Ohio discuss the nuances of a public execution, not to mention their shared enthusiasm for it, is, uh, certainly a way to wake up in America these days.

No, you deserve questions! Questions about your ideas, about other ideas you may not have considered, about where you want to go from there. You might not be getting them already, but if the answer is this, then there is no point in the whole enterprise.

The new Carrie series is pretty good. I think @mikeflanaganfilm.com gave the characters more surprising nuance than I would've expected, and it's a deft retelling of the all-killer, no-filler original text.

Saw about five seconds of the televised Maryland gubernatorial debate earlier; the only impression it left is that Dan Cox sort of looked like Evil Leslie Higgins.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

So we're doing nine albums, huh? I grew up with the classics and have probably mellowed out some over the years, what more can I say.

An image from My9Albums, which includes nine album covers:

Soundgarden, "Superunknown"
Pearl Jam, "Ten"
Our Lady Peace, "Happiness... Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch"
Incubus, "Make Yourself"
Filter, "The Amalgamut"
Nonpoint, "To The Pain"
The Revivalists, "City of Sound"
CHVRCHES, "The Bones of What You Believe"
Tame Impala, "Currents"

My understanding of the Protect College Sports Act is that it is yet another example of how Americans love the free market until they don't, this time curtailing the overall earning power of college athletes. Do I have that right?

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

I think a significant chunk of America -- its people and its institutions -- has a problem with focusing far too frequently on "problems" that aren't actually problems.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

The thing about AI slop imagery being used so heavily for Instagram marketing and such is that looking at all of it, with all of its tiny but unmistakable misalignments, is a horrorscape of visual rhetoric. It's like being in a room where every framed piece is slightly ajar.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.

Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.
