We get numb to Nikola Jokic’s excellence, but the dude is averaging:
30.4 points,
13.0 rebounds and
10.8 assists
while shooting
62.8% from the floor and
41.8% from three-point range.
Read that again.
Is that not the greatest offensive display over the first month of a season in NBA history?

There was a Trump Store nearby that is now recently empty with the signage still up. Someone in the dust on the window wrote, “felon” and “pedophile.”

For some reason I find the fact that he keeps referring to him as “Bobby” in those excerpts to be truly disconcerting.

There was just an ad on YouTube for a thermal sweater that rhetorically asked if you are layering and still freezing your, "man nipples." Otherwise known simply as nipples. So, I guess that sweaters now have to be marketed as extra masculine for reasons.

Favorite moment of each week: I log off, pour a bourbon, eat some bread and olive oil, and listen to music while cooking for Shabbat. Just the best.

Trying to land on a song to start today’s class on Gender and the Cold War and “Party at Ground Zero” feels like it would be a little much for a morning class.

Someone(s) carved and put pumpkins on the porch of our apartment building and apparently has forgotten about them. They are a vibe.

Also, I love KAT as a player. It’s also incredible how many times in a given game he hits the floor after a hard drive to the hoop.

Basketball is weird.
And after all that, with their worst shooting half of the season, the Knicks take a two-point lead into halftime against the Mavs.
Brunson with 15 points and Bridges with 11.

Some titles that immediately came to mind: Never Caught, The Murder of Helen Jewett, Blood in the Water..
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

I unabashedly love Boscov's, but mostly because every time that I am there I feel like I am transported to the department store in Mannequin.
I went to Boscov's for a shoe sale recently and discovered they are marketing his-and-her camouflage sweatsuits as "Rustic Romance."
As a Pennsylvanian, I feel both seen and highly offended.

Is Boscov’s selling the most offensively Pennsylvania outfit ever?
A trip to this Pennsylvania-based chain for a shoe sale led to the discovery of an outfit that questionably marries rural and urban Pennsylvania fashion.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Workers at The Met are trying to unionize, citing “long-term pay inequities, lack of job protection, and ever-increasing workloads.” If they succeed, their union would be one of the largest museum unions in the US.

At this point in semester in advance of final prompts I have students read @clintsmithiii.bsky.social's "Monuments to the Unthinkable" to reflect on historical memory. As we talk about stolpersteine in class today, we are doing so as people are placing similar monuments to those kidnapped by ICE.

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime.
