Universities should really give alumni lifetime access to the library. We paid enough for tuition, the least you can do is let us keep reading.

Seattle is no longer considered a lock for an NBA expansion team, Adam Silver has informed team owners, per @WindhorstESPN. The league is reportedly using Mexico City as a potential alternative to pressure Seattle’s bidding group into raising its offer. (h/t @TheNBABase )

When I walked out of Digger I thought it was really great but not quite a Masterpiece but in the days since its basically the only thing I can think about and talk about

I get annoyed when people call Mix A Lot a one hit wonder. This was a hit before Baby Got Back!

Neil Young says Tom Cruise's "Digger" is "the best film I have ever seen." "None of the reviews I have read describe this film adequately, in my opinion," Young wrote. "They seem to miss the overall effect and most of them are negative. This film lives in a world of art. It is its own best review. Don't read any other reviews and forget this one before you see 'Digger.' It cannot be seen as a Tom Cruise film - that would be misleading. I would describe it as a film of our times... I do not view this film as a commercial venture. Rather it is an artful film of our times. The things that are said in 'Digger' are a direct reflection of today's political and social world. The film is so full of artful expression and radical change ups, that it may be too much to take in for those expecting a commercial film like we are used to today." wp.me/pc8uak-1lHXy0

This just means seeing DIGGER in the theater during its original run—as I, of course, did—will be a status symbol.

This is called “snaking” and it’s become a show of respect and togetherness among solo attendees of Digger and other films.

love how everyone going to the 10pm Digger showing tomorrow night have arranged themselves on the central axis but slightly offset so they're not looking at the back of each other's heads 🥲

Gruber: “I see more interesting posts on X than I do on Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon combined.” Pairs well with @austinkleon’s “The Bad Place”: “Despite its toxic chaos, it’s still sort of… well, I won’t say fun, but it’s not boring.” austinkleon.com/2026/09/29/t… I’ve never left!

X Once Again Marks the Spot

If you returned from exile on a desert island and took a look at X today for first time in a year, you might reasonably guess that Elon Musk got bored and sold it while you were away.

When I got my ticket for Digger today every seat was available. Upon entering, I see the only other two people in the theater chose the seats next to next to me. This is community. Digger is community.
