Oh good, it's Saturday, and Newcastle United are playing football again. That won't be stressful or traumatic...#NUFC

Anyway here's a thing you 1) can't unsee once seen and 2) will not want to forget

Ugh. Depression hitting hard tonight.

May have found a sabbatical project for Fall 2028. It could involve travel to England, too.

One of my favorite academic days: Undergraduate Research Day. We had a very robust poster session this morning.

The magic isn’t over. In two weeks will be the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Milano-Cortina, in which you’ll be able to witness exceptional athletes with disabilities do things you’d never be able to do. ✨

Knee injury not improving, so I get to have an MRI. Yay! ☹️

Today’s cardio brought to you by shoveling 6-8” of snow. Only took 90 minutes.

Fuck Microsoft Teams Fuck my campus tech managed laptop Fuck this winter storm

Leg rehab continues: 50 minutes walking on the treadmill.

Treadmill 5k - walk-run-walk. Under 43 minutes. No pain. Progress!!!

Hey Tom you shameless soulless piece of shit, come to the Cities and find me ONE non-Minnesotan, I double dog dare you. Jesus will look you in the eye when you die and say "I never knew you."

Cancel the World Cup and Olympics. No one should be coming here. It’s not safe at all

2 miles of walking (30:32) 3 minutes of running All of it PAIN FREE!! It’s comeback year!!

Thanks to my “amazing” health insurance through the university, today will be my second and final PT session because I simply cannot afford it. I will have hit 30% of my Flex funds for the calendar year on just these two visits.

New semester, new hair.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

This girl is an insult to education.

Just spent 90 minutes prepping food for tomorrow and listened to the greatest playlist ever. How do people cook without listening to music?

Apparently this is what I do for work.

Proof of life

Good morning! You feel like you’re going crazy because their attempts to bludgeon you into submission with weaponized unreality aren’t working on you. Keep it up. You’re doing great.

Ready to go. #HTL #NUFC

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Proof of life

I had time to write in the first half of Final Exam week. 2200 words on Book 2, 1500 words on Book 1. I now descend in Canto 8 of Grading Hell.

Did the thing!

Doing a thing with Wheelie this morning.

We’re jaded enough by the last few decades to assume that nothing will ever shake Americans out of their torpor but I’m confident you can make gun toting revolutionaries out of disinterested normies overnight by telling them that the govt is going to take their autistic kid and put them in a camp.

The people are incens’d against him.

The white men fantasizing about the return of American manufacturing don’t actually think they or their kids will be working in the factories. This is their American individual idealism at work: they believe there will always be someone else working hard for their benefit

My old adversary - Monday.

One book, one book chapter of an anthology, and my most-cited journal article.
