More or less the same plot in "Answer This!" (2011). Grad student gets offered a tenure track job in his own department before he even finishes his dissertation because his dad is a big-shot professor who's retiring and wants to hand down "his job" to his son.

Abdul el-Sayad: I love all my Jewish brothers and sisters, and my criticism of AIPAC and Israel doesn't change that Abdul el-Sayad supporter: Actually there are too many Jewish voices in Michigan politics

More "the wisdom of crowds":

Hey friends, if you can take a minute and block / report this antisemite it would be a service to all of Bluesky

Update on "the wisdom of crowds". Those sudden jumps up and down -- those are basically caused by one person placing a relatively large bet in a relatively small market, right?

Behold the wisdom of crowds (this is from Kalshi, for the Ann Arbor Mayoral primary, by the way)

I'm getting a new laptop at the end of this week which means my old one (shown below) is going away. Going to need some new stickers. @maximumfun.org @radiotopia.bsky.social got any old freebies in a desk drawer somewhere?

...did someone say "forensic linguist"?

...Steelgrip Starkey? Is... is that *you*? (first image is from a panel in Marvel Zero #1, out this week)

my god

Well, if she's a DC character, and not a superhero, she's got to be one of these three...

I regret to inform you that the entire state of Michigan has been consumed by an orange Smoke Monster

Genuinely curious: do you think that *any* of the sentences in the image below mean the same thing as "Platner should drop out"? If so, which ones do, and what is the difference between the ones that do and the ones that don't?

I see people posting "Infantino this" and "Infantino that" and all I know is, the guy who drew this is A-OK in my book

Between "puny military", "Bah", and stilted grammar, this reads a little bit like Putin-as-Incredible-Hulk. (source: @glegum.bsky.social via @wonkettemedia.bsky.social) www.wonkette.com/p/i-vladimir...

Hi @rawstory.com, I fixed a typo in your headline for you

I really wanted this riff to just keep going on and on, in the style of the Dozens

This is awesome, but what the world is really waiting for is a Space Ghost / Superfriends crossover

POV: Chris Taylor and his team, the day after the August primary

Which of these is a picture of an asshole?

Just like how Phil Hartman would have killed it as this guy

Why does this @thenewrepublic.bsky.social review of Michael Tomasky's new novel carry the byline "By Michael Tomasky"???

This one, no question:

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you.

Did DC Comics's "Countdown" (later retitled "Countdown to Final Crisis") cause people to have fewer children? A provocative new working paper explores the persistent drop in birth rates since the 12-issue series launched in 2007

@evanhurst.substack.com I'm a big fan but can I maybe suggest you try to learn a little bit about intra-Jewish distinctions before you write bullshit like this? "Orthodox Jews" are a very heterogeneous group, both in the US and Israel, & the far right has plenty of non-religious useful idiots too

This is definitely written by AI, right?

I cannot wrap my head around the fact that this came out 20 years ago

Coda to this panel on Jews in comics: here's a page of Kryptonians marking what,to me, is unmistakably their version of Tisha b'Av
