lol, here's some incredible college football content. In the hype video Oregon posted after Penn State, Dan Lanning lectures his team on broken windows theory, but it's pro-breaking windows.

"Each time we get a stop on defense, that's a broken window." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwSH...

a screencap of Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning standing in front of a projector screen displaying a slideshow. The current slide has a headline "BROKEN WINDOWS THEORY."

I took this picture of Olga and László in London in 2018. Congrats to Krasznahorkai and his translators, including George Szirtes and @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social, and long live a Central Europe free of dictators (foreign and domestic) and full of magnificent minds like these!

The novel prize for literature goes to Europeans and to men at far too high a rate, showing a clear bias among the committee. Unless it goes to Thomas Pynchon, in which case they totally made the right choice.

At bedtime last night I made up a story about an alligator named Wilberforce for my kid. Can’t imagine where the name came from.

If I were a novelist, I’d write a character who gives these names when checking in to a hotel.

me to chatgpt: how to become bibliographer
chagpt: while there's no one road to becoming a bibliographer, one common thread among them is that they have crazy names. If you have a name like Wilberforce Eames, Worthington Chauncey Ford, or Fredson Bowers, then it's a good bet you'll become one.
