Grade 6/7 teacher and former librarian (ouch). Here for a saner place to read about the world, education, books, sports and news.

Wonder if Miller and Silovs swapped jerseys or dress shirts.

I thought Fox News has problems reporting facts but the sports team does too, I guess. I don't watch them much though, so that's on me.

As you said, great that Benevides stayed with it when people called for his job. And credit to O-line coach Paul Charbonneau too, that group has played well through injuries to their best guys.

Let’s just agree right now never to normalize the term “AI actor” and call them what they are

An animated character

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

Nice job, Ben. Watching that first few innings for Gausman though, I couldn't help but wonder if he was tipping pitches with how the Rays were able to not chase, even their less experienced players. Would the Jays have video staff look at that? If he did, we know the Yankees would find it.

Do you think if Cootes stays up for nine games Raty could have some time to work on his game with the skills coach and play every second or third game? If he gets close to where he was last year, it would be time to send Cootes back to Seattle.

Kind of fitting that a player like Eric Lauer is going to finish this #BlueJays regular season. It's indicative of the year they have had.

Great. I have an E-ARC that I started last night. My lit circle group enjoyed Book 1 last year. I let one of them try the e-ARC a couple weeks ago. I thought he was previewing it, but then he just finished it. He was a very happy guy.

I wish, but I am in BC. No virtual launch, right?

I know...right. I am reading one too, and I am really liking it but it feels too familiar. I am not a librarian anymore, but teach grade 6/7. I am not seeing many kids sell books with this plot point to other kids. Do you? The very well written books like these are sitting on the shelves of my room.

I am a few hours north but caught it Sunday night. Thought it was unusually bright.

This would be my answer as well!

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

A short explanation of p-hacking and why it absolutely makes sense to ask HHS to release the study methods of their autism report in advance.

Still my favorite explanation of the difference between INT and WIS: int is knowing that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor.

Wis is knowing that Frankenstein was, in fact, the monster

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Whatever—the big danger to humans is not raiders, angry human-eating fauna, or rogue SecUnits; it’s other humans.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
