I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

An old military maxim often attributed to Napoleon is “an army marches on its stomach” and I feel the same way that a university thinks via its library. The slow and steady financial diminution of research libraries and the librarians who staff them is, to me, a slow-rolling higher Ed catastrophe.

The Minotaur was his nickname on the Dodgerthoughts blog when he was in the minors and he seemed like the real deal. He was so good, but young pitcher development is so random and no one wanted to jinx it, so he was called The Minotaur; a mythical beast.

The University of the Arts’ archive will now live on at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania

The collection, which might hold almost a million items, could've ended in a dumpster. But now, it will be HSP's largest and will cost an estimated $500,000 to catalog, conserve, and digitize.

I’m hoping Treinen gets raptured

Please tell me that Treinen got raptured

B. A. Friedman @bafriedman.bsky.social · 22d

I don’t believe in the rapture but what are the MLB rules for players who are raptured? Do they go on the IL? Do they lose their spot on the 40 man roster? If an entire team is raptured do they lose their playoff spot?

LOL

Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.
