I am so lucky to have three successful kids, two of whom have finished college and one is on his way. Oddly enough, I talked to my youngest about this the other day. I told him to study what he loves and figure it out later. My oldest two knew going in what they wanted. There is no universal answer
Even if we would stipulate that the *only* purpose of college is vocational training (ugh) if you think you, at 18 years old, not only know for sure what your future career will be but also know better than all the professors at a college what skills you will need for that career, why bother?

This explains my crazy music on my run this morning. Please stop defaulting to shit we don’t want
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

Enjoy the Bills. Damn I hope they win it all but while Josh has been around they always make the playoffs. So many teams get the one and done

I can’t agree that people stopped “virtue signaling” because the term almost instantly became meaningless; it was applied to any expression of caring or thoughtfulness. I don’t think the vice signaling came from an absence of virtue signaling, rather from the non-cessation of expressions of decency
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Spotify and Substack are bad places. You should not be on them or subscribe to them. If you are on Substack I will not give you money no matter how much I like you
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Pretty infuriating: King Gizzard quit Spotify over ethical concerns -- and now Spotify is letting AI knockoffs of its music (with all the lyrics copied verbatim) proliferate on its platform

King Gizzard Pulled Their Music From Spotify in Protest, and Now Spotify Is Hosting AI Knockoffs of Their Songs
An impersonator appears to be using generative AI to poorly clone rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's iconic sound on Spotify.

Bad news everyone because the NBC crew said his play is “unsustainable” despite him doing this for like sIx straight years
Based on EPA per pass play, Josh Allen's performance today was the 5th-best by any QB in a game this season.
It was also tied for the best regular-season game he's ever played with the Week 4 2023 game against the Dolphins.

I have little argument here, at least with the top three. No idea what these committees do to come up with inductees
If you remove the PEDs guys, the players from this era who should be in the HOF are:
Whitaker
Kenny Lofton
Keith Hernandez
Dwight Evans
David Cone
Bret Saberhagen
Dave Stieb
Kevin Appier
Chuck Finley
Orel Hershisher
None were even on the ballot. Again.

If I had to rank these players in order of how deserving of the HOF they are:
1. Bonds
2. Clemens
3. Sheffield
4. Mattingly
5. Murphy
6. Kent
7. Delgado
8. Valenzuela
And it's still inexcusable that Lou Whitaker isn't in and wasn't even on the ballot.

If this actually cost stores money they'd replace them with cashiers. Obviously theft is more profitable for them than paying employees.

More than a third of self-checkout thieves see the kiosks as “unpaid work” so taking small items “feels like compensation.”

I thought the NFL designed a system so it doesn’t matter what *he* thinks
Concussed two weeks ago, Bengals WR Tee Higgins had no hesitation about continuing to play after his helmet struck the turf multiple times in Buffalo.
