This is nice little gargoyle detail on the old Wisconsin Ave School in MKE. It’s where Gene Wilder learned to act. It’s been fenced off for more than a year, and vacant for even longer. It’s currently being renovated into apts. I’m sure there’s a whole history there, eh @schooldaves.bsky.social?
Stopping by an ice cream shop on the way back to the highway after presenting survey results to a school board in — where else? — Eden, Wisconsin
Okay so UNLIKE with criminal justice, education, and health care, we in the USA have not had our brains cooked by decades of this kind of argument re soccer development. So nothing prevents us from saying ITS NOT A MYSTERY, ALEXEI! LOOK AT HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS WHERE PPL ARE DOING IT BETTER!
Get you a scholarly writing division of labor where you have to flip coins for lead author (a Panamanian coin featuring Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, in this case)
Every parent’s nightmare: I’m raising a podcaster @michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social She insists on listening to the opening of The Body Keeps the Score episode on the way to school bc she loves the chanting
I took these screenshots from that book way back in 2021 to send incredulously to friends
Have been at a family reunion this weekend — and my uncle David has always been a little bit cranky, I thought, growing up. Didn’t like my volume or rowdiness in general. But oh, watching him teach my (loud rowdy) daughter chess was quite precious
Going back in time to tell my middle school self about how weird the future will be
I know that one of these unrelated posts is about the Brewers, but that’s not how I read it
It’s fun to be able to use a power meter to tell which direction, and roughly how hard, the wind is blowing.
Let me also say that living a 15-min bike ride from Miller Park on glorious summer evenings absolutely rules. They say never meet chorizo, but initial shyness aside, quite memorable
This dog waits all the long winter for summer days just like this one
Congrats to the lads on another great season — I know a little about going to back to back finals and dropping one 10-15. It’s the other one you’ll remember. As Hector Valdivia once said, sometimes champions lose.
This is the anecdote to the decadence of a professional class that constantly chases novel gustatory experience and has come to confuse this empty hedonistic quest with being cultured.
This display is in the one-seater bathroom in a district office here in Wisconsin. That’s Robin Yount on a Harley in the lower left
Wait, no, this CAN’T be right. An ECONOMIST?!? Specializes in LAW AND ECONOMICS? A GAME theorist??
It’s a weird weather day when I can FEEL myself hitting the warm front at a particular spot — right by miller park, headed west, 6:06am
Wittgenstein was cranky about everything, of course, but I love and will defend to the death his insistence (via Norman Malcolm) that to teach is to publish. (David Stern, et al. (2015). Wittgenstein: Lectures, Cambridge 1930-1933: From the Notes of GE Moore)
