At my favorite engineering education conference (ASEE), and they have "the Poetry Fox" in the exhibition hall. Give him a word, and he'll type up a poem for you on the spot. I gave him "comics" because of our research, and this is what he came up with. Kind of great!

Reminder: If you're the kind of person who complains about how "divided" we are, but not the actual reasons for that division, you are always welcome to adopt someone else's better and smarter opinions in the name of unity. :)

This week’s main story is about an unexpected foe: feral hogs. John discusses how, as cute as they may be, they are causing massive amounts of damage that has now spread to 36 states. And why, like with many things, we can at least partially blame Christopher Columbus.

in 2009 a truck driver in downeast maine called me a party pooper (POTTY POOPA) and my husband and i still quote it to each other 🙏

Out of context quote from me: "If I get to heaven and it's nothing but Chick-fil-A's I'm gonna storm god's house like it's January 6th".

Disappointed that Charlie's brother is, according to Wife, an "asshole." I asked why she thought that, and she said, "He chose a 21yo little girl and now that she's acting like a 21yo, he's like 😒." #LoveIslandUSA

I mean just look at these seas of people! An army of lovers cannot be defeated. Lots more from that time in my new video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4F2...

Thanks to the efforts of people like these I get to marry a beautiful woman on Thursday. I protested for marriage equality in college before I knew I was bi & just wanted to be a good ally to my queer friends. And now I get to be in love openly with a woman & vow to love her for the rest of my life!

I feel powerful as a bisexual woman because I COULD date men & I HAVE dated - & even married! - men. But after my divorce I chose to only date women/nonbinary people. I am everything a straight man hates because I could've chosen him but opted for Door #2. Sexuality isn't a choice but dating men is.

This is Sonny. He's excited to announce that summer is officially here. And more importantly he found a really cool stick. 12/10 the best news (IG: itssonnytheberner)

BREAKING: A federal court just blocked the DOJ from seizing private data on millions of Maryland voters. In 9 out of 9 attempts, courts have prevented the Trump administration from accessing voters' data.

It should be a tremendous wake-up call to so much of the medical establishment that people are once again choosing the computer but I know they will just go, 'haha our stupid patients found a new Doctor Google' with the usual heaping dose of contempt.

Ruby snuggling this lovely Monday morning

Get yourself some duct tape, filters and a box fan and make yourself some cleaner air if you can Los Angeles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi%E...

Clean your air if you can, friends en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi%E...

I think one of the most important parts about learning a language is learning how to explain your own culture, which is part of why I tried to explain the concept of Medieval Times in Spanish to my friend in Colombia today

After defeating the evil shoes, these valiant warriors are taking a well deserved nap. Hopefully they won't mind us borrowing their prey for work tomorrow. #catsofbluesky

In case you are still in any doubt about how utterly ridiculous this cat is.

My spoiled Athena.

This handsome 2-year-old Baltimore boy is Ray, and the shelter has waived all fees. He’s playful and lovable and just go get him already.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

it should be illegal to elect the stupidest motherfucker on the planet to the presidency

My neighbor told me a cat keeps eating his british prime minister so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the commons and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to a cat and then his daughter started crying.

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

freya: "sir, are you aware that you have planted your large orange body in my basket?" sandal: "i am aware that i have planted my large orange body in a basket." freya: "is this usually where you sleep?" sandal: "...the american people are tired of these distractions."

If you call for cancelling businesses on your Substack, I immediately know you're an unserious person.

it's funny how conservatives are treated as the "real" patriots when they constantly say America is a shithole and most Americans are trash.

seeing a lot of dad’s marked down 50% at the store this morning

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

“Hello. I am your new cat. Do not be concerned that I look weird. It is purely because I am a very rare and special breed.”

As a conservative Republican, I’m all in favor of JD Vance taking the Israeli government to task. Here’s why any college student who makes similar remarks should be expelled.

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

Yogurt bowl time! Tanji's favorite time of day after breakfast and dinner time.

Been stewing a little since yesterday I saw someone dismissively using “pushing strollers” as an example of something assimilationist gays do. Actually, gay people having kids and not having the state take them away or lose them in custody battles is pretty fucking radical

My parents are currently in KCMO today, and I want them to go to Joe's so badly and tell me how good it is so I can live vicariously through them! But they need to go to a walk-in audiologist because Mom's hearing aid gave out, so idk how much they'll be able to sight see.

We turned around and went back just to get a picture after driving by this.

I often think bus drivers are unsung heros in many ways: coping with traffic issues; impatient drivers who do anything to get past them; rude customers etc. So I'm sending a huge 'thank you' to all our bus drivers especially working in the intense heat this week. You are appreciated ❤️

good morning, here's B-Boy Pikachu

Seattle! 💙

Frankly there should be ballot drop boxes at light rail and subway stops too. If we're going to have vote by mail, make it easy for the people most likely to have trouble getting to a polling place on election day: public transit riders, who are disproportionately low income workers w/o flexibility.

sticking his leggy out real far

I have really good friends. That's all. 💕
