A bastard burgled my house while I was at work. Saw it all on my home CCTV & called the police. The police caught the burglar because he was having so much fun playing with our Golden Retriever, Daisy, that he didn't realise the cops had surrounded the place.

Who actually dropped balls from towers?

Who dropped them best?

A list of experiments purportedly perforned with dropping balls from towers. It is unlikely Galileo ever dropped balls from a tower.

I've enjoyed these two immensely in their brief run with the Giant, but I do have to admit that they look like the villains in an 80's teen movie.

For Cam Skattebo, you either die a Mike Alstott, or live long enough to see yourself become Peyton Hillis.

We also had an incident 20-odd years ago where a student in a Gen Ed class turned in a paper that had sections lifted word-for-word from the professor's own web site.

Reading today's thing about the evils of LLM slop, and reminded of one of my undergrad professors ranting about dumb plagiarism. "Did you think I wouldn't've read the book on [class subject] by [author name] WHOSE OFFICE IS NEXT TO MINE?!?!"

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

my other big American literary teaching complaint is that even the good teaching focuses far too much on symbolism and character and not nearly enough on tone, style, figures of speech and the suchlike. It's often a bird's eye view of the text rather than a tight-up read of paragraphs or sentences.

Today we wish a #HappyBirthday to Karl Schwarzchild! This German physicist and astronomer provided the first exact solution to Einstein field equations of #generalrelativity. Fun fact: Schwarzchild was a child prodigy, having published two papers on #binaryorbits before the age of sixteen!

I never try to guess the Literature prize, because it's so often somebody I've never heard of because I don't speak the language they write in.

If you don't want it to be a pure lifetime achievement award, you can read it as "Person who is actively writing the best lyrics right now," which is a more interesting question. I'm partial to Craig Finn in that reading; the latest Hold Steady and solo records are awesome.
