I started reading a really interesting pop sci book on this, but realized that I understood the math and most of the analysis wasn't identified. Stopped reading.

This guy. First he responsible and now estimating his own work.

These batards are looking good and sounding good (sound on!). Cuts need work. #sourdough #baguettes #bakesky #breadsky

Carna Blues! That was a big one. Capt carrying the club on his shoulders. #AFL youtu.be/aVu-SQ7sGEk?...

Goddamn. I grew up watching him play. I don't know if it was related to CTE, but I wouldn't be surprised, considering the way he played and the era in which he played. Either way, this is sad as hell.

It's a terribly sad day for Australia with the passing of Neale Daniher. Neale was a truly remarkable, courageous advocate who dedicated himself to raising awareness and improving treatment of motor neurone disease.

This band is Mountain Grass Unit. Here they are by the Potomac at last year’s DelFest. This year they got to play with Del himself on the main stage. Del also invited them to their debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry in August. youtu.be/GeJ8k9kGrIs?...

Creekers at DelFest in Cumberland MD. It was wet. #bluegrass

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10

Got to meet the great @soumayakeynes.ft.com and hear her and @chadpbown.com explain how to win a trade war. Also go to catch up with @djvanness.bsky.social for a first year study group reunion with @deenadeena.bsky.social.

The dude is really expanding his repertoire.

I have read this FT story by @jburnmurdoch.ft.com and I believe it is "some bullshit." A lot of effort and data work, and an extremely exaggerated causal story, bolstered by Melissa Kearney saying it is "plausible" and Lyman Stone doing whatever he does. www.ft.com/content/fba3... /1

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Remembering Douglas Adams with his line about the cause of an explosion at Heathrow Airport in his book The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. "The usual people tried to claim responsibility. First the IRA, then the PLO and the Gas Board."

In class today, the coach wanted us to do backward crossovers, a transition, a tight turn, then forward cross overs out of the turn then shoot while in the crossover. I can't do backward crossovers, transition, tight turns, forward cross overs or shoot. Other than that I nailed it!

Lasagna with home made spinach pasta.

Went back to a local store called Mr Tire to change out my winter tires. I had gone to them to put the winter tires on. I booked an appointment for the change out. But when I got there, I was informed that they wouldn't do it as they don't change out winter tires.

I forgot to share earlier, but I wrote a round up of news in biology, with @nikomccarty.bsky.social. - Organ transplant recovery has surged - Semaglutide doesn't slow Alzheimer's - A transformative new pancreatic cancer drug - Weight loss drugs that preserve muscle and more! Read it here:

Did the mice have ACL reconstructions when they were in their 20s? Asking for a friend.

Sidney Crosby gets called for diving for the first time in his career, which is honestly shocking

Taking an early morning hockey class with two 10 year olds. Of the three of us, I was the best at following instructions.

We are following two in the playoffs Nic Dowd with the LVGK and John Carlson with AD. Dowd got round 1 win. Carlson is playing the Oilers tonight. #ALLCAPS

Excited to add my first goal puck to the mantle. Nice to finally get it!
