Full of despair today. Massive lay offs in social sciences and humanities across the country, Burnham puts out a video saying 'AI can write an essay', and my university is busy integrating co-pilot into all staff and student computers. We are being told we're defunct and there's no resistance.
The House of Fame would be an absolute banger

OK, we've got just under a month until the Premier League kicks off, sooner if you're a fan of the EFL or SPL, and you know what, I really enjoyed the football posting over the World Cup and think we should keep up that energy. Here's the Starter Pack I made for it go.bsky.app/EvGoMRN

All worth it to hear Ian Wright say 'good to see Animal again' as if he's an old teammate of his
Ferran Torres moving from winger to striker is the scene in every nineties rom com where the girl takes off her glasses
Williams does SO well to knock that down instead of trying to score.
I think the LV case is my personal straw for this fucking sport
The NFL used to have a third place game and Vince Lombardi was not a fan
As well as being a first-rate publication run my great people, Scouted will put you in front of actual industry people. Well worth a go if you’re good enough
