"Technology so useful, so inevitable, so ubiquitous, that we will spend millions of dollars to jam it down your throat."
happy Super Bowl Sunday! for all you commercials sickos, I make the case that this game's ad blitz will be to A.I. what 2022's was to crypto and 2000's was to the dot-com boom—with all attendant implications for our broader economy and the celebrity-promotion complex: slate.com/technology/2...
The Biggest Star of the Super Bowl Isn’t an Athlete—or Bad Bunny
We’ve seen this game before, and it doesn’t end well for anyone.

It's that time of the semester:
"We are together only for 75 minutes twice a week. Please do your best to plan your day so that you do not have to leave the classroom during that time."

As the Patriots take the field tonight, every fan should be able to enjoy the game without fear.
Like the patriots of 1776, we must demand a future free from authoritarian violence.
Defund and abolish this violent agency and keep them out of the Super Bowl.

Get rid of the announcers in mixed double curling, and have the curlers miced up for their pre-shot discussions.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

On one hand, it's a bummer for dedicated ski jumpers that all anyone will want to discuss for the foreseeable future is penis stuff. OTOH, it's a sport, esp for women, that comes pretty close to a deadass who can be the skinniest contest. Not a fan.

This seems like a much better use for your own than throwing them on a football field
TIL sex toys expire. This has been your Hornt for Good™️ PSA. The appropriate disposal method it to throw them at nazis
At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

one thing about the Olympics is that all the athletes in the village are having a phenomenal amount of sex and so I for one think it’s only fair that Vance got to fly his own sofa over

"Bringing food to Italy" needs to become part of the culture.
Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD.

There seems to be a not insignificant number of people in the Epstein Files who hold prominent positions at colleges.
Yet, there’s no uproar over what these elites are teaching students. Or how many of them overlook sexual assault on their own campuses.

BREAKING: Bard College President Leon Botstein’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 2,500 times, including arranging travel to Epstein’s island and hosting a visit with “girls” on campus…
As a Bard student parent, I demand Leon Botstein’s immediate removal.

Two hilarious things about this.
1) No one thinks Tom Brady when they think New York.
2) Tom Brady would never eat a slice of Pizza Hut pizza.

It is wild to hear commentary about the downhill skiing in the Olympics and have the commentator say that made the winner successful was his patience.

Something I think all academics might want to consider is how the structure (hierarchical) and power (uneven) in academia made it possible for Jeffrey Epstein to get som much traction with so many academics.
