Sometimes when I load this site, it's just screenshots of headlines with a stream of complaints, but if you compare the complaint to the article, the tirades seem misplaced, which makes me suspect most people aren't news subscribers.

I think it's fair to say a huge part of the popularity decline is attributable to cost and a half-century of anti-institutional right-wing propaganda. But there seems an unwillingness to admit that the higher education system is in peril.

it's from this New Yorker post that Bluesky is dunking hard on for the headline, but it's really more descriptive and prescriptive www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

Will A.I. Make College Obsolete?

During a time when American trust in institutions is at an all- time low, A.I. is poised to accelerate a growing disillusionment with higher education.

A24 made a movie about Anthony Bourdain, and it looks like the goal was to make a new, younger audience actively dislike him www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1MV...

This thread reminds me of discovering an older painting below a famous canvas via radiology. Or in books, of a palimpsest, where the old writing seeps through reused pages.

MUSTARD PLUG! Ska band names are so... untethered

In Fargo, it was a band called Three Minute Hero. Brainstorming ska band names must've been so fun.

Rex Sorgatz @rexsorgatz.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Remember how every town used to have one ska band that was outrageously popular, but only locally? What was yours?

Yep. Yep, I’d do Severance in a second to not know anything about the next four years. Sign me up.

Don’t be daft, you bump the sides, not the fronts

My new thing for 2025 will be trying to make the “hip bump” replace the “fist bump” as the preferred method of greeting

Is there a support group for people who start TV shows that they really don’t want to finish, but for whatever reason, feel obligated to keep watching?

Rex Sorgatz @rexsorgatz.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

not like "newsletter writer," but rather, "person who emails all day"

Besides Kottke and Gruber, does anyone self-identify as "blogger" anymore?

Prediction: A generic term will arise for "Twitter / Bluesky / Threads / Mastodon" because it has become impossible to complete the sentence "As someone on [social media platform that I cannot remember] said today..." And no, it won't be Fediverse.

Finally, a record I could theoretically break. I’ll get to it when all I use is pencil and paper.

Next month, we abandon this dive and we roll on Mastodon, soldiers
