Sorry @chibears.bsky.social fans. This is on me. Proud fair-weather fan, I decided to check back in on them this week. Within 5 minutes, they were fumbling at the goal line. Turned it off after the blocked FG. Turned back on just in time for Bagent incomplete and sack. I'll stay away.

Makes me wonder if Leo had read Nathaniel Philbrick's book In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex, which had just been published the year before in 2000 and had been a big deal, or if the timing was just coincidental.

Near the end of an exhaustive review from @soxmachine.com of White Sox struggles in Kauffman, midway through the last highlight clip he embedded, the audio distorts into something ghoulish and disturbing. In the business we call that an "Easter egg" for subscribers soxmachine.com/2026/01/new-...

END OF THE 1st PERIOD #Blackhawks 1 (Hall) Blues 2 SOG: 10-7 CHI Horrendous start for Chicago allowing 2 powerplay goals early, but they responded in the second half of the period and got on the board. It's less than ideal ice conditions, so their game has to be simplified

So I teach in an MA program where students do a capstone project, which sometimes is research but usually is just an analytical essay, portfolio, etc. I've just learned that our students are going to need IRB approval for any such project. Anyone else experiencing anything like this? #academicsky
