If you win too few games in one season, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done before, you’re fired and fans will hate you.
If you win too many games, someone will pay 9 figures to leave and fans will hate you.
You have to win the exact right number. Kirk Ferentz has mastered this.

@carrietipton.bsky.social Wanting to pick your book up on Kindle, but I see epub as the only option. I assume the DRM on it wouldn’t work with ‘send to Kindle?’ Sorry, I know that’s really more of a Publisher matter.

As a tuba player who ‘got’ to play the marching band arrangement of this somehow like 11 times between high school and college: I hate this bass line so much.
My favorite pieces of “Thriller” trivia:
1. The guy just played that bass line the whole song, no looping
2. The frog bass sound comes from a keyboard with a Frog Button

I gotta say, as someone who (mostly) likes to be busy:
I wish it was more normal for people to be working at about 60% of their capacity. With that extra 40% for time and energy for the unexpected, for support for their coworkers, for delight and growth…

How’s it feel to not get to see a color, now, huh? #colorblind4lyfe
Five people—three researchers and two test subjects—have just seen a color no human has ever seen before.

My students might think I have no life, but I just got an Instagram reel for an alternate fingering for clarinet, and the extent to which that is a mirror screaming back at me “no life” is hard to understate.

No question about it, I have a tab-hoarding problem, but it really is a testament to Apple Silicon, MacOS, and Safari that I'm running like this — with 706 open tabs across 50 windows — and nothing is noticeably slow.
