Sort of curious how many advantages you have to give before it occurs to you as a ref that they're just constantly fouling us and maybe a card should come out?

Like, did they not learn from what happened to the Astros thanks to Ted Cruz? All this analytics and data and you forget about raw superstition and bad vibes. Sad.

We have one of those spirit days next week - hadn't even thought about socks and slides. Going back to 94 here! Wish I had some jeans overall jorts but sadly it's been a while.

Oh wow! I was lucky enough that my dad brought me back an Arsenal top from London in 95 (the blue lightning shirt! Insta-buy on the modern update), so I got to live the double in college. Grew up in IRC rooms and streaming London radio. Lucky to have a couple Brit dormmates to learn the ropes. :)

Okay, wait, so you wrote one of the best books I've read since heading back to teaching US history last year, AND an Arsenal fan? You and @clintsmithiii.bsky.social were already on my dream build-a-class-around-their-books list, but this is amazing. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

Yeah, like suddenly I need a killer primary source to say the things that need to be said about the present moment since I can't. And that's literally every day because.. *gestures broadly* And this was the year I was going to discover the "work-life balance" thing everyone talks about.

I feel *exactly* the same way. The constant stream of "I see a connection but I live in TX I'd better not criticize the Sedition Act TOO much or I'm crossing into news land" that is followed by ANOTHER thing and ANOTHER thing. I want to rise to the moment. Too tired. Have to take care of myself too.
