When I got the 2023 mgoblog book, I took it home for Christmas and was so excited to show it to my 85-year-old grandpa who started taking me to M games when I was four years old. He opened the book right to this column, read "Shrek was nude, erect, and prodigious," and immediately closed it lol

Glad they went with an academic. I had heard there was pressure from some quarters for a politician or someone from the financial world, as a nod to their growing importance in university administration. You shouldn't run something if you don't first know what it DOES. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

I was really excited for these fruit bars, but now I must temper my expectations. I think there's a "soda lime" joke in here somewhere too, but I can't not make it clunky.

I hope they don't get that close to the Magical Faraway Tree because then it would just be a regular old Magical Tree and who wants that

A really good article about how the web is used, and by whom, has changed dramatically recently and the impact this has had on a lot of the little sites that are the glue for the internet. stephenfollows.com/p/what-just-...

What just happened to TheNumbers.com should worry us all

If you work in or around the film industry, there is a decent chance you have used the work of The Numbers this month, whether you realise it or not.

Given how much they both dislike women, queer people, and age-appropriate sexual relationships, you'd think Trump would be less hostile towards the Catholic Church.

Since Pitbull announced his FIU stadium deal, he has posted more about St. Patrick's Day (twice) than the school (once). He's 20 months late on a promised anthem. And those are far from the only ways Mr. 305 is falling short. www.foiaball.com/p/pitbull-fi...

Pitbull owes FIU an anthem. Where is it?

He's 20 months late on the song.

Part of being in a long-term happy relationship involves missing out on all the messy drama that comes with a breakup. I was able to experience that today when I told a roofing company I was going to go another direction.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

Really interesting (1) how correlated with their O efficiency Illinois’ OREB% is and (2) just how flat the distribution of their OREBs is. They send _everybody_. If you can slow them down on the glass you can turn them into just a good rather than elite offense. But you need all 5 to do it.

“abolition is ridiculously utopian. you know what’s realistic? peaceful dragon unicorn bunnies.”

The best-case scenario is not abolition but reform-true, fundamental reform-to turn
ICE into a law-enforcement agency that respects the Constitution and laws of

ICE was never going to allow its head to testify under oath when they could just moot this by releasing the petitioner, but there is also no reason that every federal judge can't just start doing this in every habeas case in which ICE refuses to follow the law (many such cases!
