The weirdest part of my family lives there, so I can tell you confidently it does not.

Dialogue tree:
1) My wife, she's such a fan, we've got all your records. The good ones, I mean.
2) You've got a real swell home here, sir, what's the tax bill on a place like this?
3) You didn't happen to see where I put my pencil, did you?
4) (Attempts to lean on nearby table, misses, falls over)

It also gives away the game by starting off complaining about the Smithsonian's "divisive race-centered" focus and wrapping up complaining about the Smithsonian's denial of racial essentialism.

I didn't read the thing, is that really how Gene Hackman died?

Love just scrolling the timeline and accidentally discovering that Steve Turre's kid is an asshole.

Sure, but the ease pulls you into the broader narrative, which is really the point.

CC spent so much time playing through injuries on the Yankees that it's easy to forget how good he was in the Midwest as a young buck. His 2008 was ridiculous, pitching every fourth day down the stretch with the Brewers' playoff chances on his back. 11-2, 1.65 ERA, 7 CG, 3 SO, 130 IP after July 7.

The energy it takes might lead to another Chernobyl event, but it's worth it to find out what happens in Mishima's fourth act. Groove back?

It literally can't do "custom" though. "On-demand," yes.

While it's just their opinion, man, Fangraphs has Felix as the 7th most valuable pitcher of the 21st Century so far. Per their formulation of WAR, he's 1.1 wins ahead of Randy Johnson, 1.4 of Roy Oswalt, and 1.7 of Mark Buehrle. (The Unit was worth an additional 1.05 Felixes in the '90s.)

Herbert Hoover was also raised Quaker. "Didn't do any big wars in office" about the only religiously on-brand thing he did.

Alex Chilton died right before Big Star were going to reunite at SXSW in 2010. He put off seeing a doctor about chest pangs because he didn't have health insurance.

We asked eight suburban moms who say they're still undecided to weigh in, but their responses were all too racist to print.

Casual baseball fans can't process "peak Carlos Beltran, but he's in Cleveland, plays plus defense at third, and has the body shape of a rambunctious toddler"

Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin' Else" is a must if you like "Kind of Blue." He's in the KoB sextet, and Miles is basically co-leader on SE. Have plenty more recs if you listen and like it.

He's in the top 10 in ERA and K/9 since he arrived in the U.S. (min 400 IP)

Also "no tenure or consistent work" covers just an absolutely enormous amount of ground. "No almost ironclad job security for life or knowing that you will have job that pays you one-third of a decent salary three months from now."

Which is a separate thing entirely from "most [whatever you want to call university teachers] don't need PhDs to teach undergrads," a statement I would broadly agree with (with a couple caveats).
comment in response to
post
Yes, "adjunct" describes the employment relationship, "lecturer" is a position. What I meant to point out is that, if 70% of [whatever you want to call university teachers] are adjunct, that means only 30% of professors have any sort of job security beyond the next few months.
comment in response to
post
People who adjunct *want* to teach as a rule or they'd do literally anything else, because the pay is awful and the working relationship is exploitative.
comment in response to
post
Nothing, I was pointing out that what you're describing is a lecturer, not an adjunct. The word "adjunct" describes the relationship between the worker and the institution, not the worker's CV.

Oh yeah, I agree with you. I meant that I don't think JBSA knows much about academic labor based on what he's saying here. The statement "Part of the problem is that [current adjuncts] are overqualified" makes me think he doesn't know many college teachers or why they go into their careers.

I think you've confused adjuncts and lecturers.

Dinging him for RBIs in particular annoys me given how generally forgettable those Reds teams were. 21st in league OBP during his career, and that's counting the 8.3% of Reds PAs that were his. He has 42% of all Reds player seasons with a 120 or better wRC+ from 2007 to 2024.

Livesy is enormous in this. A Kane-level performance, except with the added burden of keeping the character sympathetic.
