Emanuela Ignățoiu-Sora a publicat recent volumul de poezie „Și noi dansam în plase de lumină și ace”, apărut la editura OMG. Femeia la 40 de ani este personajul central în jurul căruia este construit volumul. Și tema centrală este maturitatea, un proces în desfășurare, un proces care permite privirea înapoi dar și înainte. Este o carte care începe cu poeme de doliu și continuă cu poeme despre reconstrucția de sine. Am vorbit cu Emanuela Ignățoiu-Sora despre noua ei carte și temele ei.Emanuela Ignățoiu-Sora: „Cred că maturitatea vine cu înțelegerea nereușitei. Unul dintre motivele care mai apar în volum este cel al succesului - apropo de femeia la 40 de ani care ar fi trebuit să aibă succes, a fost proiectată într-un vis al succesului de către părinți și care nu ajunge la acest succes. (...) Dar e o înțelegere luminoasă. Nu cred că este un volum întunecat și sumbru, dimpotrivă, cred că e multă lumină acolo. Dar cu o înțelegere a unor lucruri pe care, poate, femeia de 30 de ani, de 20 de ani nu le înțelegea, că nici nu cred că avea cum să aibă acces la ele. (...) Ideea de maturitate pe care o percepeam așa cum mi-o dădeau adulții din vremea copilăriei nu e neapărat maturitatea pe care am găsit-o la vîrsta asta. Care e foarte diferită, nu înseamnă o seriozitate încrîncenată, e loc și de ludic, și să mai fim inocenți, și să mai suferim, și să mai sperăm complet naivi. Am început să regîndesc ideea de maturitate prin scrierea volumului.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta întreg interviul!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu  Un produs Radio România Cultural

fWotD Episode 2922: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 5 May 2025, is Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is a 2004 action role-playing video game that was developed by Square Enix and Jupiter, and published by Square Enix in collaboration with Disney Interactive for the Game Boy Advance. The game, which is an intermediary between the two larger-scale PlayStation 2 games in the Kingdom Hearts series, was one of the first GBA games to incorporate full motion video (FMV).Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is the second game in the Kingdom Hearts series. It is a direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts whose ending is set about a year before the events of Kingdom Hearts II. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories follows Sora and his friends as they explore the mysterious Castle Oblivion while battling Organization XIII, a new group of antagonists in the series. The game introduces new characters and plot lines that further expand the Kingdom Hearts universe and set up the premise of Kingdom Hearts II. The game uses a new card-based battle system rather than its predecessor's real-time combat system.Though it was not as successful as the other Kingdom Hearts games, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories received positive reviews and sold well. It was praised for its story, graphics, and full-motion videos (FMV) but its card-based battle system was criticized. When it debuted in Japan, the game sold over 100,000 units in 48 hours. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was remade for the PlayStation 2 as Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, which was packaged with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and released in Japan in March 2007. The remake was released in North America on December 2, 2008, and was remastered in high definition (HD) and included in the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix collection, which was released in 2013 for the PlayStation 3 (PS3), and later for PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox One, and personal computer (PC).Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is a combination of a role-playing video game and a collectible card game. There is an experience point system that can be used to increase the character's maximum health and Card Points, or to learn new skills. The cards are used in the progression of the story and in combat. The game features a world map and a battle screen. The world map is an isometric area where the player traverses rooms. Enemies inhabit the world and track the player to engage in combat, which is initiated when the player and an enemy come into contact. Once in combat, the game switches to the battle screen, which uses the card-based battle system.To advance through the game, the player uses map cards they obtain after winning battles to create rooms through "room synthesis". The map card the player chooses determines the properties of each room―including the quality of items and the strength of enemies. The color of each card has a specific effect: red cards affect the number and type of enemies; green cards affect the power of the player's deck; and blue cards affect the properties of the room, such as the allowance of treasure chests or the appearance of save points.The game has three modes; two are story modes featuring Sora and Riku, and the third is a two-player battle mode. Initially, only Sora's story mode is available; once that story is completed, the "Reverse/Rebirth" mode becomes available. Reverse/Rebirth allows the player to play the second story mode featuring Riku and the battle mode in which two players using a Game Link Cable can battle each other.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Monday, 5 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

Let's make sure we all get back safely,” Sora decided with a smile.Ja: 三人は引き返すことに決めました。En: The three of them decided to turn back.Ja: 山を降りながら、彼らは笑い合い、嵐から逃れることができたことに感謝しました。En: As they descended the mountain, they laughed together and felt grateful for escaping the approaching storm.Ja: 道中で出会った桜の美しさや、仲間との会話は、その日一番の宝物として心に刻まれました。En: The beauty of the cherry blossoms they encountered along the way and the conversations with their friends became the most treasured memories of the day.Ja: 結局、空は気づきました。目指した頂上だけではなく、仲間との旅が真の平和をもたらすことを。En: In the end, Sora realized that not only was the summit he aimed for a source of peace, but so was the journey with his friends.Ja: 目的地そのものが重要なのではなく、旅そのものが大切だと学びました。En: He learned that it's not the destination that matters, but the journey itself that holds true significance.

Jurandir Filho, Rogério Montanare, Fernanda Schmölz, Sora, Matheus e Bela Eichler batem um papo sobre as duas primeiras temporadas de "Ruptura", série da AppleTV+. Ela é uma das séries mais aclamadas do momento, elogiada por sua originalidade e atmosfera inquietante. Criada por Dan Erickson e dirigida em parte por Ben Stiller, a trama acompanha funcionários de uma empresa que passam por um procedimento que separa suas memórias profissionais das pessoais. O resultado é um thriller psicológico intrigante e cheio de mistérios, que reflete sobre identidade, trabalho e controle corporativo. Com atuações brilhantes — especialmente de Adam Scott e Britt Lower — e uma estética fria e minimalista, "Severance" se destaca como uma das obras mais inteligentes e perturbadoras da era do streaming.A segunda temporada respondeu os dilemas e enigmas da série?

Le he dado un portazo a Substack en 30 días y estos son los resultados.El pasado día 2 de marzo fue el último día en el que envié una newsletter desde Substack.Ya somos muchos los que empezamos a recelar de esta plataforma como gestor de newsletter y necesitaba encontrar una alternativa que me permitiese realmente tomar el control de mis envíos.Durante 4 semanas he estado haciendo envíos y pruebas desde la herramienta Flodesk y te cuento cuáles han sido todas mis impresiones y lo que voy a hacer a partir de ahora.¿Estás suscrito?Flodesk es una herramienta con la que puedes enviar emails y que comienza a despertar bastante interés por su sencillez de uso y sus tarifas estables.Te cuento un poco sus funcionalidades y luego hablamos de los precios.* Enviar emails: la más obvia, pero no tanto si la comparas con Substack. Envía emails que llegan a tu lista. Su entregabilidad es buena en mis pruebas y hasta ahora no me ha dado problemas en este aspecto.* Automatización: sistema de automatización de emails sencillito pero muy útil. Por fin voy a poder trabajar en mi secuencia de bienvenida y promocionar productos por email de forma evergreen. Por cierto, también conecta vía API con herramientas de automatización, etc.* Link in bio y otros: te permite generar una URL para tus redes sociales con el aspecto perfecto y las opciones de captación de emails superoptimizada. Lo combino con un descargable para sacarle todo el partido posible. Ejemplo: https://guitermo.myflodesk.com/plantilla-calendario-publicaciones* Analítica y gestión de la base de datos: por fin datos útiles para analizar tu lista y posibilidad de segmentar por todo tipo de interacciones y etiquetas.* E-commerce: un extra que te permite montar una tienda y vender tus infoproductos de forma interna con su propia pasarela de pago y sin comisiones sobre la venta (sí que tiene una tarifa fija).Los precios son los siguientes* Free: te deja gestionar las partes de link in bio y captación de leads mediante formularios.* Email Marketing 38$/mes: añade envíos y suscriptores ilimitados.* Ecommerce 64$/mes: cubre la parte de venta de productos digitales y su gestión, además de los servicios anteriores.La capa de envío de emails es una pasada y es por eso que muchos creadores con listas muy grandes están apostando por esta herramienta.También hay una oferta bastante interesante que está siendo muy agresiva y te da un 50% de descuento durante el primer año.Comparativa Flodesk vs SubstackYa he hecho la presentación, ahora vamos a las comparativas con Substack. Voy a centrarme puramente en la parte de envío de emails y su gestión, dejamos fuera los sistemas de monetización y otros formatos de contenido.Gestión de suscriptoresFlodesk ofrece opciones mucho más avanzadas para conocer y gestionar tu audiencia, especialmente importante cuando tu base de suscriptores crece.Diseño y personalizaciónFlodesk destaca permitiendo crear emails visualmente impactantes, pero su gestor de creación es bastante peor. Substack te permite componer los correos de forma sencilla, añadiendo imágenes y recursos en el cuerpo del texto sin tener que recurrir a crear y partir bloques, que es el sistema de Flodesk y que detesto la verdad. Captación de suscriptoresDe nuevo, Flodesk ofrece herramientas mucho más completas para la captación de suscriptores, con formularios y páginas de link in bio optimizadas. Substack… no hay por donde cogerlo en este aspecto. Sin embargo, Substack es la plataforma que te va a hacer ganar nuevos suscriptores de forma más rápida y es una funcionalidad que no vas a conseguir con ninguna otra herramienta de Email marketing pura.AutomatizacionesFlodesk tiene todo lo que echamos en falta a Substack en esta área, permitiendo crear experiencias más sofisticadas y personalizadas.Análisis y métricasPuede que sea una de las áreas más parejas, ya que Substack ofrece bastante información sobre lo que ocurre en los contenidos que publicas, lo que no sé si es muy fiable… Flodesk tiene todos los datos que necesitas saber y es 100% transparente.Modelo de preciosAquí Substack se lleva el triunfo, ya que permite publicar de forma gratuita y "enviar" a tu audiencia (que todavía te acepte emails), mientras que Flodesk tiene un coste (aunque te asegura el envío).Conclusión finalDespués de los argumentos que te he tirado podríamos pensar que Flodesk es un claro ganador y que todo el mundo debería ir a este tipo de plataformas para trabajar sus envíos de email… pero no es cierto.La conclusión final es que, Substack es una plataforma brutal para creadores con unas posibilidades inmensas a coste cero.Su capacidad para hacer crecer tu audiencia es muy grande y todo ello de forma sencilla.Si estás empezando o simplemente no quieres pensar demasiado, Substack te da de sobra.Sin embargo, si eres como yo, y quieres un poquito más de control, autonomía y desarrollar nuevas líneas de contenido y negocio… necesitas una herramienta alternativa para el envío de emails.Te pongo un par de capturas comparando aperturas de Substack y Flodesk:Flodesk:Substack:(Fíjate como las estadísticas en Substack son tramposas 41% de 2557= 1048. Lejos de los 2018 que marca en el primer envío)Y este es otro de los puntos a los que he llegado. No puedo comparar bien las estadísticas de ambas plataformas.Para empezar, porque cada envío es un mundo, pero luego, es que Substack mezcla todo y no sabes al final de dónde viene cada dato. Y con esto ya empiezo a tener hasta sospechas sobre la realidad de las estadísticas que nos pasa Substack. Os dejo que lo reflexionéis con vuestros propios datos.Qué voy a hacerEn mi caso, la decisión que he tomado después de estas 4 semanas, es seguir alimentando Substack con contenido, pero usar Flodesk como gestor de mi base de datos y envío de emails.Y te preguntarás, ¿cómo se hace técnicamente eso? Pues hay dos ramas de trabajo:La primera es el proceso de envío:* En primer lugar coloco el contenido a publicar en Substack. Todo es igual como si fuera a publicar, pero en el momento de darle a "Enviar publicación" desactivo la casilla correspondiente y me permite simplemente "Publicar". Ahora ya tengo el contenido en Substack accesible pero sin haber enviado ningún email ni notificación en la app.* Me llevo el contenido a Flodesk y lo maqueto (esto es lo más coñazo). Añado un vínculo de referencia a la publicación en Substack que he sacado antes por si alguien quiere añadir algún comentario o reacción.* Le doy a enviar y te llega al correo.* Flodesk me permite reenviar correos a la gente que no ha abierto el email en unos días. Así que aprovecho para programar el reenvío para el jueves con un asunto nuevo y todo listo por aquí.El segundo proceso es la gestión de suscriptores:Aquí lo que hago es usar varias vías de gestión, siendo la base de datos de Flodesk la que manda.* Reenvío los correos de los suscriptores que me llegan a Substack automáticamente a Flodesk mediante una automatización en make.* Reenvío los correos de las bajas de Substack también a Flodesk mediante Make para que desactive esos emails.* En el footer de los emails coloco acceso a la gestión de ambas plataformas para que el usuario pueda "Dejar de recibir emails desde Flodesk" o "Desconectarse completamente de FailAgain" dándose de baja desde Substack.Si te interesa montar un sistema como este, tengo un vídeo con el paso a paso que se publicará en la comunidad Factoría Creativa. No puedo dar muchos más detalles porque lo estoy preparando todo y el martes te contaré más cosas.RecomendacionesMis tres perlas para esta semana:* Sora: la herramienta de generación de vídeo de OpenAI permite que te conectes con tu cuenta de ChatGPT y generes imágenes con el nuevo modelo que todo el mundo utiliza para generar su versión anime. En lugar de eso, yo he ampliado mis iconos personalizados de FailAgain.* Sesión de Skrillex: si quieres volver a tener 20 años, te recomiendo escucharte la sesión de Skrillex en el Ultra Miami de la semana pasada.* Factoría Creativa: la comunidad para creadores que estoy lanzando. El martes es el día. Por fin, un sitio donde conectar con otros creadores de contenido

Et si le sommeil était le dernier espace que la Big Tech veut conquérir pour nous vendre des choses dont on n'a pas besoin pour épater des gens qu'on ne connaît pas. Comment nous garder dans l'écosystème numérique, même quand nous sommes censés dormir ? L'économie de l'attention, c'est comme ça qu'on l'appelle aujourd'hui est arrivé à sa limite physique économique. "Notre principal concurrent, ce n'est pas une autre plateforme de streaming online comme Disney + ou Apple TV. Non. C'est le sommeil.'' cette phrase signée Red Hastings, le cofondateur de Netflix, date de 2017 et à l'époque, elle faisait sourire. On la prenait pour une provocation bien marketée, un bon mot pour une conférence. Mais aujourd'hui, elle sonne comme une prophétie. Pire encore, comme un plan stratégique. Car voilà où nous en sommes. Au cours de la dernière quinzaine d'années, notre temps d'écran a littéralement explosé, l'on passe plus de 8 heures par jour à consommer du contenu numérique. Le problème, c'est que pendant que le temps reste figé, le contenu, lui, ne fait qu'exploser. La faute ou le mérite, selon de quel côté vous êtes, revient donc à l'intelligence artificielle générative. Avec Chatgpt, Sora et compagnie, créent une vidéo, un article, un podcast ou une chanson ne prend plus que quelques secondes, le résultat, c'est une avance permanente de contenus nouveaux. Et tous ces contenus veulent la même chose vos yeux, vos oreilles et votre attention et où trouver du temps ? La nuit, évidemment ! C'est pour ça que la phrase de Reid Hastings était prémonitoire. Le sommeil est devenu le dernier bastion à conquérir et la big Tech s'y attaque… Je dédie cette chronique pour ceux et celles qui éteignent encore leur téléphone avant de s'endormir. Bravo !

My guest today is Professor John Munro, a teacher and a psychologist who has taught and researched in gifted education and talent development for 4 decades. The last time I sat down with John was in January 2020 when we recorded a podcast on gifted education – in particular, how to identify these learners, how to understand their learning needs and how to encourage them to reach their potential in the classroom. Five years on, we sat down again here in Melbourne to discuss themes from his new book published by ACER Press, Leading Improvement for Gifted and Talented Students. In particular, we explore leadership for the provision of gifted education – what it takes to develop a vision, putting together an action plan, upskilling teachers and collaborating with the wider community. Guest: John Munro Host: Rebecca Vukovic Sponsor: This podcast from Teacher is supported by Sora, the student reading platform that provides access to curriculum and popular digital books for schools.

Libraries worldwide broke digital lending records last year as Overdrive, the company that operates Libby and Sora, recently reported seeing more than 739 million borrows of audiobooks, e-books and digital magazines — a 17% increase from 2023. But while many library card holders may be enjoying the latest bestseller at no cost, the bill public libraries pay to provide this service grows just as much as demand. Public libraries do not purchase digital books, but rather the license to distribute them. That licensing needs to be renewed regularly, making audio books and e-books up to four times more expensive than a physical copy. Some states, including Washington, have asked lawmakers to step in to try to make digital more affordable. Currently Oregon has no bill or law around digital books, but libraries across the state report seeing growing demand. Stephanie Chase is the executive director of the Libraries of Eastern Oregon and governing board member of the Oregon Digital Library Consortium. Le Button is the collection development librarian at Deschutes Public Library. They both join us to share what demand has been like for digital books in recent years and how libraries balance buying physical copies versus digital ones.

Men's Basketball vs Illinois Starts at 1:00 Michigan was asking for a game like this after the last couple months, you can't give up 19 offensive rebounds in a game and expect to win. Illinois got 9 more shots than Michigan and their young guys went off. Vlad Goldin was the only one who was getting an advantage. Danny Wolf is officially in a funk, this likely doesn't affect his draft stock. Michigan might be a popular pick to get upset in the first round of the tournament. They're fading down the stretch and not getting better in a lot of departments, especially rebounding.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Men's Basketball vs Michigan State Starts at 23:06 This was a "make your shots" game, Michigan State hit their shots. Also Michigan had an 11 shot deficit. Michigan now has a worse 3-point shooting percentage than Michigan State. Roddy Gayle has not hit a three-pointer since January, nobody is covering him anymore and that extra player is guarding the paint. Tre Donaldson might've had his worst game.  3. Hot Takes and Men's Basketball vs Rutgers & Nebraska Starts at 34:06 Takes hotter than yours truly after the 19th Illinois offensive rebound. These two games were polar opposites in what basketball is. Michigan had poor shooting and looked tired after the Michigan State game. The three-point shooting has come down tremendously. Seth thinks the worse three point shooting is mostly random except for Roddy Gayle, opposing defenses can always plan for Roddy not being able to shoot. For one half, Rutgers was the greatest basketball team in the world, then it came crashing back to Earth. Is it time for L.J. Cason to play more? Sometimes he looks great and sometimes he doesn't box out at all. Vlad Goldin is just not a passer in the paint. Who would you take for free throws to win the game, Roddy Gayle or Nimari Burnett? 4. Hockey vs Ohio State Starts at 1:10:08 Michigan steals four points from Ohio State and has their tournament percentage up to 85%. Michigan hosts Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament but Penn State is playing very hot at the end of this season. The "It gets worse" call is now legendary. Win this upcoming series and you're in, get swept and... you might still be in.  MUSIC: "You Don't Know The Shape I'm In"—MJ Lenderman "Loser"—Jerry Garcia "Whip Appeal"—Babyface “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Men's Basketball at Ohio State Starts at 1:00 Bienvenue! Recorded remotely this week because Seth's 19 year old ski boots exploded. Michigan wins a defense-optional shootout, they rebounded half their misses which ended up being the difference (Ohio State just couldn't out-rebound Goldin and Wolf). There's a big difference between Goldin being the role guy and Tschetter being the role guy, so why did Goldin only get 24 minutes? Officiating in this game and how it relates to the Bo Ryan era. Don't elbow someone in the head but also don't put your head into someone's elbow. Roddy Gayle returns to Columbus and silences the boos out of timeouts. Stop missing dunks. Neither team got a double digit lead, the game was tense the whole time.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Men's Basketball vs Purdue Starts at 24:50 Michigan avenges a terrible loss to become co-favorites to win the Big Ten. Braden Smith plays an insane 12 minutes to open the game for Purdue, making the first half extra frustrating. His mid-range shots weren't even bad shots, necessarily. Rubin Jones and Roddy Gayle combined for 20 points and played excellent, annoying defense. They came through in a way that was required to win this game. Michigan shoots below their season 3-point average but only had 11 turnovers. They also got to the line a lot (off of some calls that weren't great). Caleb Furst should've fouled out in the first six minutes! The physicality of the Big Ten is more than Dusty May realized. Purdue had zero bench points.  3. Hot Takes and Hockey vs Minnesota Starts at 49:12 Takes hotter than Michigan basketball in a three point game. Michigan gets slightly more than a split against Minnesota which decently increases their NCAA tournament chances. A split with Ohio State and a first round win in the Big Ten Tournament should do it. Minnesota was out-shooting Michigan 12-2 to start the game on Saturday, not great! Welcome back, Michael Hage. Tyler Duke played a nice game when everyone else was gassed. Bye week upcoming so we won't know much about tournament chances for a while.  4. Tournament Outlooks Starts at 1:16:40 Men's basketball is now projected to win the Big Ten but Wisconsin is looming with the easier schedule. Purdue and Michigan State both finish with a gauntlet. Of Michigan's last six games, four or five of them will be against tournament teams. Finishing 3-3 could maybe be enough to win a share of the Big Ten and get a banner. It's been a while since it's come down to Michigan and Michigan State down the stretch. Torvik has Michigan jumping between 3 and 4 seeds, which takes win margin into account. Hockey is projected to play Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. They're now 80% to make the NCAA tournament but everyone ahead of them in the Pairwise rankings is pretty much a lock. The worst tournament in sports is suddenly in Michigan's favor! There's a regional in Toledo but Michigan probably doesn't go there. Shout out to Hockey Bear.  MUSIC: "Real Life"—The Marias "MUTT"—Leon Thomas "THE BADDEST"—Joey Valence and Brae “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

Dusty May Talk Starts at 1:00 Welcome to the Plodcast. This game had the awkward undertones of Mike Woodson getting "fired" and Indiana wanting to hire Dusty May. What's a better job, Indiana or Michigan? Indiana is home for Dusty but there's also a lot of pressure there. If Michigan needed the money to match, they could get it. He did turn down the Louisville job so maybe the biggest thing that would bring Dusty May back to Indiana is that his mom still lives in Bloomington.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Men's Basketball vs Indiana Starts at 22:30 Once again it is the story of the season where Michigan gets a big lead and then suddenly looks like they forgot how to play basketball. Kenpom said Michigan would win by four so maybe we're overexaggerating. They've gone from a top 10 team to a top 25 team, so a 5-6 seed in the tournament. The turnover margin between the most turnovers and the fewest in the Big Ten is only four turnovers. Three point shooting was extremely frustrating. Gayle is driving to the basketball when he should be shooting a 3. Screwing up the foul on Goldin really hurt Michigan. Nimari Burnett's shooting percentages have simply fallen back down to earth.  3. Hot Takes and Men's Basketball vs Oregon Starts at 41:22 Takes hotter than the Indiana fanbase when Dusty May spikes a three hundred million dollar offer in their faces and says "I'm a Michigan man forever, babyyyy". Another game where Michigan had a double digit lead that they almost blew! Roddy Gayle got to the line a lot but also traveled enough that John Beilein would've ripped his esophagus out. Will Tschetter had a nice game and led the team in scoring. The bench players aren't quite ready and that's okay. Is Supreme Cook the best version of Brian?  4. Michigan Hockey vs Michigan State Starts at 1:13:28 Michigan picks up a split against the #2 team in Pairwise, getting one win was the best possible scenario. Both games were about the same but Michigan State actually scored in the second game. Michigan is a team of just guys. Nobody really pops besides Hage. The WWE aspect of these games in the 3rd period against Michigan State has become a bit much. Michigan has a 70% projected chance of making the field, which feels great right now. Is the most boring Michigan hockey team in memory? This isn't a bad team, they're just not the team last year that booted Michigan State out of the tournament. Pre-season expectation was to hopefully make the tournament and that hasn't changed.

Men's Basketball vs Rutgers Starts at 1:00 Brian returns after a week (or two) of trying not to die ala ice and norovirus. The Rutgers game was a weird game of two offensive-oriented teams not scoring much. Rutgers has 15 more shots than Michigan and still loses due to poor shooting. Michigan did a great job defending Ace Bailey. Rubin Jones made a two! Rutgers likely won't make the tournament but this was still a solid road win. Tre Donaldson is averaging 1.7 fouls per game, can't just pull him with two fouls. Things feel bad but Michigan has a tournament bid pretty much locked up if they stay the course.  2. Men's Basketball vs Penn State and Purdue Starts at 21:34 Penn State is the most Clingon team in college basketball. Tre Donaldson was the hero with 21 points, also the Vlad Goldin "empty tubes" game. Only nine turnovers was a great improvement against a team that forces a bunch of turnovers. Speaking of poop, the Purdue game! This was not a game from the start. Michigan can't handle Purdue's pace and then the second half is just coasting home for both teams. Every Michigan coach has to get their head caved in by Painter once. It was discombobulating to see Michigan so discombobulated. The final stretch of this schedule is a gauntlet, they're all quad 1 games (besides maybe Rutgers). If Michigan finishes .500 they'll be fine.  3. Football Stuff Starts at 41:23 Ross Dellenger got a leak of a portion of Michigan's NCAA response. Michigan is taking the route that the allegations are unsupported and should be level 2 allegations. In the past they've laid down and taken it for allegations. All the released texts about Connor Stalions within the program almost sound like they're annoyed with him. The portal has been pretty quiet recently, this might be it for the incoming wide receivers. All signs point towards Ty Haywood coming to Michigan. The NIL values you see are probably made up.  4. Michigan Hockey vs Penn State Starts at 56:09 Michigan is down to 14th in Pairwise and on the bubble. The remaining games are the hardest part of the schedule so they need to go at least 3-3 to try and get into the tournament. This is such a frustrating team to watch. In some years, the Michigan defense can do spectacular things while making mistakes, this year they just make mistakes. They're running out of time to figure stuff out.  MUSIC: "Alaska"—Maggie Rogers "Help Me"—Joni Mitchell "Don't Dream It's Over"—Crowded House “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra
