... I am really, seriously having trouble restraining myself from using the word "coven" with regard to the apparent recrudescence of academic librarianship in the form of "New AI" "knowledge engineers" while completing a second comment explaining why the response to my complaint about the phasing out of the old Pubmed interface (apparently a teleological hit and run, or something) was obviously canned.

I have already likened their foundational document to the Edict of Paris (or Fontainebleau). Jesus Christ, I'm old enough to remember the last time these types tried to creepy-crawl the AI lab where I was resident, 30 years ago.

[Edit.     Silly me, I failed to notice that the new "degree" is a so-called MLIS. Just fucking perfect.]

Couldn?t agree moor

Good to see new topics

Soooo...no keepers?

...in desperate need of a distraction, my wife and I turned on Disney+ and watched "That Darn Cat".

It wasn't terrible.

I forget.  Were Fred and Ginger in that one?

We're currently celebrating Dean Jones' entire body of work.

Don't skip Born Again. You've been warned.

I hope folks are watching this series.  Michael Jordan comes off as a first class jerk.  Arrogant.  Self-satisfied. Pompous.  And a bad teammate who insulted his teammates.  I had no idea what a schmuck he was/is.

I?ve seen 2 episodes. He seemed alright to me. Does it get worse?

Yep.  Ask Steve Kerr

I?d rather not. #TeamMarkJackson

They?re just finishing it off and giving it a happy ending.

This movie would've been awesome without Whedon's involvement.  Snyder cuts of Man of Steel and BvS were awesome.  Joss Whedon should stick to the dubba yuh B.  He sucks.

I mean, the movie wouldn't have been finished at all. There is no Snyder cut.

Well, now I don't know what team to follow. 

I would stick with the Thundernuggets.
Even though Harden was a questionable pick, there's still a nice nucleus there with Green, Durant and Westbrook.
Seems like Presti knows what he's doing, maybe he truly feels that Westbrook is the guy they want with the ball and didn't want to let a 17 year old Spanish kid take over the offense.

Not sure he's right and I don't think Harden's going to be a great pro.....never mind, it was a shitty pick.

Rubio and his dad are already trying to call the shots. The ThunderNuggets did ok.

Even if not Rubio, seems like Curry over Harden would make sense.

CURRY and Rubio are special.  Harden is, most definitely, not.  Some players have a little extra something in their step.  A hop.  It makes everyone watching the game focus on them.  That's Rubio.  That's CURRY.  Okie City had a chance to take either of 'em and they took freaking Morris Peterson.  I want the star.  I want the exciting guy.  Basketball's supposed to be entertaining.  Entertain me.  I'm selfish like that.  AND, to top it off, Rubio and CURRY go to 2 turr-ble teams.  Minnesota drafted point guards back to back.  Are you kidding me?  They can't play together.  I rarely agree with Dickie V anymore(probably because I generally ignore what he says), but he was exactly right when he said that was the sort of thing that gets coaches fired.  Luckily, Minnesota doesn't have a coach.  And don't take that as a slight against Flynn.  I like him.  Then, CURRY ends up in Golden State.  Will I ever see him play now?  No.  Plus, he'll be in the same backcourt as Monta Ellis and beside Stephen Jackson.  I don't care that Nelson's there.  Nelson's old and gettin' senile.  Seriously, this draft couldn't have turned out worse.  Blake Griffin's knee(one of 'em) will go out sometime in the third preseason game.  Rubio's gonna stay in Spain(smart move...stay away from that crazy Minnesota dude).  And CURRY's gonna be quickly labeled a bust because he's in a sorry situation.  The fact that James Harden played in a college system that was designed to get him points doesn't make me feel better.  Julius Hodge averaged almost 20 under Sendek...I don't want him on the team either.  It's all just very disappointing.

In my defense, I was right about a whole lot of other stuff in this thread.

Even I don't stick up for myself in the comments.

Or read them, actually.

Don't read mine, either. You. You don't read mine, either. I read mine and then some.
