Looking at @Polymarket's front page, and just have zero idea what sports or sports leagues these are. Curious if any followers recognize these team names without having to Google. If I had to guess, maybe some non-NFL pro football league?

Supporting Trump is a form of religious hermeneutics at this point. Anytime a contradiction arises, you just have to have greater faith or locate an allegorical meaning within the text.

In the spring of 2024, @DrewBasile45 won $132,000 on “Jeopardy!” That didn’t necessarily make him a shoe-in at the International Quizzing Championships, where trivia’s best and brightest answer questions that get harder and more obscure by the year.

Rereading Shklovsky today. Russian Formalism always strikes me as a response to the patchy & uneven conditions of industrialization in Russia: the text as a machinic combination of devices, with no other end (yet) than the ‘making strange’ of habitual life.

@pourfairelevide rizo's a great character and good tv. I think he probably could've used some bedrest before coming back

@alexbronzini @monthly @tab_delete Good review

@JoyceCarolOates Visited a few months ago. Was spick and span

Mentioned in the NYT today (and by Junot Díaz no less)!

@taste_of_tbone Seems reasonable that an activity based (at least ostensibly) on organic human excellence would be best inoculated against AI

@matthiasellis @daniel_dsj2110 The Canales book really is fabulous. Head and shoulders above other historical work on relativity’s reception. Good shout.
