@corp_bigwig If you haven't listened, you should. @corp_bigwig is an excellent guest.

@wyshynski I thought Spa was in Belgium?

[Matt Brown @MattBrownEP]

The athletic departments that routinely let politically connected donors, boosters etc run interference in their operations...typically don't win anything meaningful. That's going to be the case for *the rest of the dang school* as well.

[Matt Brown @MattBrownEP]

This is the sort of interference that is just incompatible with running a leading research university. It's just terrible governance!

Love it when I get to shout out @Skatunenetwork as part of a column, always fun to find more ways to get people exposed to great music.

Congratulations to Elon for buying CompetitionSuite.

[Matthew Carstensen @SatNightLites]

I thought @elonmusk bought CompSuite...

[J. Missing @RealJMissing]

My apologies.
I spilled @drpepper on CompetitionSuite and that's why recaps aren't up.

@Danger009Mouse Their product is rather good, in fairness. My wild guess for tonight based only on my eyes and ears is Bloo then a ~.5ish gap, then Boston and Crown is a tossup, but i’m leaning Boston there. We’ll see in a few hours though!

[Matthew Carstensen @SatNightLites]

There is growing concern that tonight's #DCI2023 Tour Premiere in Rockford, MI will be canceled due to poor air quality. #DCI #DrumCorps @GenEffectMedia

[Matthew Carstensen @SatNightLites]

Multiple sources have said that @TheCavaliers have chosen to pull out of tonight’s #dci2023 Tour Premiere. #drumcorps #dci @GenEffectMedia

[Matthew Carstensen @SatNightLites]

@Danger009Mouse It has similar vibes to the issues faced last year with Oklahoma and Texas with heat index to me. Hard to predict, but as we’ve seen with the West Coast for a while, as well as the northeast over the last few months, this seems like it’ll be more and more of an issue coming up.

[Matthew Carstensen @SatNightLites]

@corp_bigwig Sending good vibes your way
