So like... Mariners are sellers at the trade deadline... ya?

Easy purchase for more than the cost.

Burnout sucks. Not the least because recovering from it means dealing with bouts of “I would like to do that” emotionally (goals) but “I know I don’t have the capacity” emotionally (intellectual effort). Le sigh

good god man. (laudatory)

Rob Refsnyder???

Oh no… the new @robertjbennett.bsky.social short gets delivered to my kindle right before bed time. Oh… dear.

Kinda related to the whole “can anyone read” convo. One of the points of education is to put people in roughly the same register of complexity of thought (about a topic) together. I.e. it’s ok if your thoughts about Walden are out of pocket in English 101 because everyone else’s are too

I think it’s a shame that as the default assumption is you can only learn things related to the central thesis of a text (good/bad, write/wrong), and not learn ancillary things that informed that conclusion. When in fact, those ancillary things are where a lot of the good lies.

Something mildly ironic to me that we live in a culture awash in roguelikes and randomness as a fundamental principle of media we consume, and emotionally/culturally we cannot accept the existence of a "bad beat". (Sometimes you do the right thing and it doesn't work out, and that's ok)

Forgot I still had the other one installed. Guess I have two POINPYs now

Does the Spanish team get invited to the White House now or is it gonna go to Argentina again?
