Thought of you the other day:
i. how is the hand?
ii. FC Shamrock Rovers of Dublin got bounced from the Europa Conference on penalty shoot out ... farthest any Irish club has ever gotten in UEFA ... the coach sounded exactly like the Celtic coach: [paraphrasing] ".. obviously we are disappointed but the lads played extremely well so were are proud and are now focused on the season ...] the season just starting in the FAI ...

Just for fun. Today is the anniversary of births of these art rebels:
Luis Buñuel - 1900. Born in Calanda, Aragon, Spain. Spanish-Mexican Surrealist filmmaker. /
Hugo Ball - 1886. Pirmasens, Germany. Founder of Dada movement in Zurich in 1916.
For fun but also to honor culture rebels in a time of blatant reaction.

Welp, the invoice for the olympic games is coming over here. 75% cut to research and a hiring freeze (should be restored for those an audit deems worthy of the "keylabs" label, meaning defense, energy, and AI). Similar cuts to higher ed, with some humanities colleges seeing their budget eliminated altogether. Looks like we're getting DOGE'd

interesting tidbit about dogecoin from the wikipedia article: "Co-founder Jackson Palmer left the cryptocurrency community in 2015 and has no plans to return, having come to the belief that cryptocurrency, originally conceived as a libertarian alternative to money, is fundamentally exploitative and built to enrich its top proponents. His co-founder, Billy Markus, agreed that Palmer's position was generally valid."
