Anecdotally, it’s just nicer to walk around there now.

Gang Starr’s Full Clip just came on the radio at the bagel shop. I never hear this song in the wild. Gonna be a good day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySyY...

Me to child: color it or don’t color it. Anything else is deeply weird.

Does the fish equivilant of pennywise look like a clownfish?

This sheet should get the Nobel Prize in physics and chemistry!

In honor of the premier of AV undercover, my favorite performance: @themountaingoats.bsky.social cover of Boxcar. I wish I had a 7” of this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgo5...

I want of full size poster of Mr Bidness, Jean Pawed VanDamme, and Pinkeye doing the Charlie’s angel pose.

Exam proctoring must be a sort of penance for some great evil I did in the past. How else to explain something so slow and tortuous.

I didn’t know we had a faculty lounge…but I do now believe all of the cool faculty are there shaping Democratic Party priorities. And not telling me about it because I’m not cool enough. I guess that explains the “No Franks” clubhouse on campus.

Sigh. *Pauses for a moment* Sigh.

There have been checkpoints in AZ like this since the 90s. I grew up in Nogales AZ, on the border in the 80/90s. During the 90s border patrol setup a checkpoint on I-19 between the border and Tucson. They would ask for citizenship and if you were not a citizen would ask for travel visa.

So I guess this is another thing I have to warn my students against.

Group A is looking good so far. Maybe this is the year Mexico advanced first in their group!

My daughter basically runs my Spotify account now, so this is her albums of the year. I snuck in a little SKA when she wasn’t listening, but it wasn’t enough.

I feel like a genius for realizing I can aerate red wine with an electric milk frother.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you’ve seen in the wild: Coyote Road runner Horned toad Bald eagle Wild horses Funny enough, I grew up in the Sonoran Desert, but I saw the coyote on the University of Chicago campus.

“Forgot table of integrals”

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen Ozomatli Café Tacvba Bon Iver Fleet Foxes The Mountain Goats

Today should be a national holiday! They should make the studio a national park.

I like smoking, drinking, and ordering in restaurants, Charlie Brown.

A movie that takes place where you’re from. Not exactly where I’m from (not a NY native), but it starts near Nogales AZ, where I was born and raised, and it ends in Queens where I live now.

It feels like my phone is trying to be mean to me.

The LIRR city ticket is such a great deal. Why would anyone ever drive into Manhatten when you can take a $5 train in.

I couldn’t wire up the circuit in my electrical engineering lab, so I switched back to a major where’d at least I’d feel smart again. Then I fell in love with physical chemistry.

Listening to the great new @themountaingoats.bsky.social record, I’m imagining sitting in a theater and hearing a really big version of Cold at Night play at the end of the first act, right before the curtain comes down and the lights go off.

So if I'm supposed to write science fiction for the good of society, do I still have to do it using IMRAD format?

Electric field not invariant to transformation? Problematic gauge gap.

Death Cab for cutie really fills the Weezer shaped hole in my heart.

American hero!

I have so much cabbage in my fridge. Now I have found purpose.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Marching bands should play in baseball games. It’s unfair that football gets to hoard them.

Love the Queens and Halloween early voting stickers!

This year’s pan de muerto and ofrenda with @annevazquez.bsky.social! I feel like we finally figured out how to make the pan de muerto good. Also featured is our daughter’s American Girl doll dressed up for Día de Muertos!

This was one of the most fun World Series I’ve had in a long time!

That was some wild out fielding!

Let’s go Blue Jays, but I want them to win it in the 19th inning!

Alejandro Kirk looked really upset after that strikeout. I feel really bad for him.

I do hope this goes to game 7. I really like how much drama there has been this post season. Also, I’m going to need game 7 to go 19 innings. I’d also like the Blue Jays to win, but it’s gotta be dramatic.

The Google ai ad during the game seems to not understand the difference between causation and correlation. No, I don’t think that players that hop the chalk line hit better. Because that makes no sense.

David Byrne, American Hero!

I think a coffee shop is more enjoyable when they serve you your drink in a real cup.

Had an amazing bowl of pork broth at Okdongsik in Bayside, Queens. A really lovely lunch on a gloomy day.

Cuomo is “out of sync” with what Queens looks like today. The diversity that he hates is what makes this borough and city great. I look forward to seeing him lose a second time.

Damn, Andrés the Giant is a good nickname. #Bluejays

Is Vlad Guerrero my new favorite player? He is filling Prince Fielder sized hole in my heart.

I’m really enjoying the Dodger’s organ player! They played Soda Pop!

I can’t believe they the dodgers and blue jays have to play another baseball game after last night. If I stay out late and have to teach the next day, I feel like I might die mid lecture.

It’s a very weird list right now.
