I know this is a pithy post, but the replies and quotes don’t seem to actually understand that SU is the best comms school and these degrees are basically a specialization of more trad programs (production, marketing, etc.) with highly transferable skills

why do people copyedit the job wiki comments (sorry to gripe about my RSS, but honestly)

Ya know, even setting political affiliations and positions aside, this is such a ridiculous way of communicating with your constituents.

I had only ever heard it one way and then heard Reeves and Winter do an NPR interview and pronounce it another way without flinching and I couldn’t believe it. Had no idea there was another way!

I’m wondering if the answer to this is effectively nowhere, in the sense of no centralized listserv. You’ll hear things if you’re registered directly with whatever organization or committee.

Where are people getting musicology announcements now? CFPs, fellowships, etc. It seems like AMS's move to this career center thing has nothing (maybe bc of pay-to-post?). I still get MUSICOLOGY-ALL, but I hear nothing anymore from North America. Where is that happening now?

Atsuko is the best, time and again. (Also several huge disappointments signing on with this festival, but also several completely unsurprising ones who were already disappointing.)

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on.

The song just demonstrates a confirmation of or a direct counter-example of about half a dozen concepts from the article. I love it when students find amazing connections like this.

Teaching Nicole Biamonte's MTO article, "Formal Functions of Metric Dissonance in Rock Music," tomorrow for my analysis class and my student leader for the day is going to use Laufey's "Lover Girl" as a case study, and it's like this song was written with the article in mind. Fantastic.

Also, re: vaccines, I as an able-bodied person was able to get a COVID vaccine super easily last weekend. That may change, but the pharmacists at the CVS I went to in Indiana were asking *everyone* if they wanted to get it while I was there. Three people picking up scrips did. Bless the pharmacists.

Jacques Dupuis @jacquesdupuis.bsky.social · 22d

So yes, revisiting old vaccines is a bad omen, but from my standpoint as a parent of littles, an important nuance and insightful stat are totally swamped out by this headline’s seemingly deliberate, inflammatory phrasing

But committee did vote 8-3 that the
combined measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccine is got recommended before age 4. They said children in this age group should receive the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine separately from the varicella vaccine. Varicella is the virus that causes chickenpox.

About 85% of children currently get the
MMR and chickenpox vaccines separately for their first dose, according to data collected by the CDC. About 15% of kids get a single dose of the combination MMRV vaccine.

It's all work, but it's a lot of fun to get page proofs and go through and really see how it'll look in the end. The kind of payoff you need once most of the work is done for your part of the team effort of publishing.

First time I went and tracked down the original “Tennessee Whiskey” by George Jones after loving the Chris Stapleton version, I almost fell off my chair. (Both are great but whew.)

It's Cockney rhyming slang, explained in this video. Cheadle's accent is famously bad, but that's an interesting little subtle writing moment.
