FRIDAY January 23 Links and Banter
LET IT SNOW!
A winter storm bears down upon damn near half of the country. My environs out in suburban DC are expected to get something like 20'' of snow, which should probably shut down the city for a month. If you don't hear from me come Monday, roving bands of vagrants have captured me and my well-stocked pantry and liquor cabinet.
Ok, with that, let's hit some links.
- Have you ever wondered about the logistics behind those massive American flags that get rolled out at football games? Friend of the Blog FOIABall dug into it. And also talked hot dogs.
- The Big Ten has a bunch of 16Windiana articles. What an astounding season. Now no more undefeated seasons, Hoosiers.
- NEW AI-GENERATED CONTENT DERIVED FROM YOUR WORK POSTED ON ACADEMIA.EDU
And for full transparency, here's the receipt for our big collective Sherman Grants donation to Origami Rehabilitation (different final total due to transaction costs). It's astounding. To everyone that donated, proposed charities, and put up with my constant requests, thank you. This is SO FUCKING COOL. I hope you're proud of this weird little site. I sure as hell am.
Ok, one more thing. Our Minnesota brothers and sisters are currently under an occupation, plain and simple. There is an immense need for food, for legal assistance, for cameras, for support of all kinds. If you can share the link below with your network, do so. If you're able to donate to any of the groups in the link below, please do what you can.
I know that times are tough for everyone right now, and I don't love doing this just after a month of Sherman Grants asks. But if you can, please try to.
