This was my reaction too and I don't even know whether the "we" is humanists, women, people with the ability to read, Canadians, fans of Sappho, fans of Emily Dickinson, translators, classicists, or people who appreciate the feelings of sad red monsters. Either way, yes

I don't have a rooting interest in the wild card round and I know I'm an old man yelling at a cloud and I definitely don't want the post-season to drag on even longer but Best of Three is the worst of all worlds if only because it necessarily generates Takes after a team loses... two games in a row

I'm old enough to remember the summer of "Hey Ya!" by Outkast, when every top 40 radio station played "Hey Ya!" once a day, then said, "now here's some new songs that sound sort of like 'Hey Ya' that we're making up on the spot, one day a machine will do this for you, enjoy'

if there's one thing we've learned from the history of popular music, it's that people don't want to hear the songs they like over and over and never form attachments to artists, but do want to hear a stream of new songs generated by no one that sound sort of like the songs they like, this is logic

An interesting case study for this idea is Jonathan Lethem‘s FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE – which contains just a dash of the speculative, which drew very mixed reactions at the time. Personally, I was a fan.

Exceptional solidarity from ASU hockey players who have demanded their coach be placed on leave for essentially overseeing the murder of their teammate and have disputed the university’s findings. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Seven Arizona State men’s hockey players asked the university’s president to place the Sun Devils’ coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation into the workout that left sophomore transfer Matthew Mayich on life support.

In a 26-page letter sent to ASU president Michael Crow on Monday and obtained by The Athletic, the players disputed numerous findings from the university’s initial review of the Aug. 20 workout, writing that Mayich did not receive water and was provided inadequate medical care after his collapse.
