I am silly and got a PhD in music theory. I like pop music (EDM esp.), Renaissance (my diss. is on Victoria), late 19th/early 20th century American music, and the intersection of music and the internet. Mostly on here for sports (BOS/CIN/UConn).

Every sports fan deserves one time in their lives to feel what it has felt like to be a Red Sox over the last 6 weeks. Then again, most of my followers are either Red Sox or UConn fans so you know what it's like.

I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap. They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.

If somebody came to one of my writing classes with a novel about a “24-year-old wunderkind” on Wall Street called Leopold Aschenbrenner who graduated from Columbia aged 19, looked and dressed exactly like this, and crashed the stock market, I’d advise them to tone it down a bit
