I heard that! I was unclear on whether it was *only* for the short 2027 season, or if it was for the long term. Either way, I'm excited for it.

I truly hate to say it, but I'm going back to bluebooks this coming semester for my theory class. I had good luck with papers this semester but those conditions (small class, very specific content) don't apply to most courses.

The wild this is that *I was at that show* at Mississippi Nights. They all seemed pissed off but I had never seen them live before so I thought maybe that was just the punk rock-ness. Grant Hart shoved me as he went toward the bar. It only hit me many many years later that it was historic and sad.

New favorite quote, from Turkey’s Ece Temelkuran: “These political parties, they’re like shipwrecks: metal structures, they’re dead. Street protests, youth politics come into them like shoaling fish, to turn them into living reefs.”
