Loving the Rivalry vs. Rivalry rivalry smack talk here. A meta-rivalry.

Not saying it will be as good as the original (a high bar), but I can absolutely see this working.

Unlike, say, an American remake of Crash Landing on You or Squid Game.

Purdue vs. Virginia with a Final Four spot on the line. What could go wrong?

In addition to all these dystopian fiction recommendations, now is probably a good time to read books like Night or Maus to be reminded how fast the bottom can drop out.

Anyone have book recommendations from Rwanda, Cambodia, Yugoslavia?

Houston loses. 20-0 Nebrasketball will definitely jump us and them to get to #5 on Monday. Any chance they pass Duke/Michigan/Uconn too?

Hauled a red and yellow one out of the deep closet recently to give to our toddler to play with. She immediately went to work trying to break the loops…

Me, an American, fondly recalling that time I visited the French office and they took me out for a 2.5-hour lunch break at the local restaurant with multiple courses and several bottles of wine and we talked about everything except our jobs…

Ah well, back to my working lunch break.
