Gen Z/Gen Alpha please help! Can you tell me what this MEANS?!?

Surprising literally no one who has ever had a corgi...

Life expectancy for females in #Indiana fell from 79.4 in 1950 to 78.4 today (-1 year). Over the same time, female life expectancy rose nationally from 81.1 to 84.1 (+3 years). jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

What this? New #CornNuts flavor?!

Ominous.

Samosa pot pie is delicious as it sounds! Also an incredible gluten free crust.

*sigh* <shakes head at society>

Indiana Public Media made a site to show the expected impact of #Indiana SB1 property tax cap on local school districts. If passed, my school district would face the following funding cuts: -$8.5M in FY26 -$10M in FY27 -$12M in FY28 You can check yours here: indianapublicmedia.org/news/schools...

How did I not know about this?! Now I'm going to have to stop at the Family Dollar on the way home. www.tiktok.com/@raeonartez/...

It's been a bit since I booked by pal and esteemed economist @pollak.bsky.social on a show! Happy to have him on @wishtv.com today to talk about Trump's #tariffs and their potential impact.

Well, here we go. Hold on tight because we're definitely going to see prices go up. apnews.com/article/trum...

It’s Saturday and that means coffee And for me dropping off this floof Oso for this haircut before rounds in the hospital Then a long run, finishing some painting in a bathroom, and some time with my book Let us see mugs

Egg prices in the US just reached an all-time record high at $7.09/dozen. 🥚🔥🥚🔥

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

Just ordered a bunch of coffee beans... because... you know... we were getting low.

It’s Saturday and that means coffee And for me some meal planning, grocery store, a run, and some painting Nice little Saturday Let us see mugs

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960. Until today.

My boys are outside playing. Also, this AM, they learned the piano.

My feelings on #TikTok disabling their app in the U.S.

Tried a new variety of apples today and I think it's my new favorite! The Ruby Frost tastes a lot like a Honeycrisp, but adds a considerable amount of tartness, which is the one thing I've always found lacking in Honeycrisp. #AppleSky

We've spent the last two months scouring the house for the missing pin with no luck. 😡🤣

It's chili season! (no beans, but you can add them if you want)

It's quite possible that AI will be the end of social media.

Overcome labor shortages with this one weird trick. 4% higher wage offer reduces vacancy duration by 27% (6 days off base of 22 days), nice research design, @iza.org. docs.iza.org/dp17273.pdf

Very disappointed that espresso.coffee.tea is not a legitimate web address. 😕

No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.

Turn out the lights, the Party City is over.

For the first time all semester I'm caught up on grading! Woo-hoo!! Of course, it's now finals week and my students have another assignment due in 48 hours, but it still feels good!

Costco has this awesome ponytail radish kimchi (chonggak). It's delicious! #Foodsky

I think it is quaint that so many folks fail to grasp the link between regional wages and educational attainment. Anyone care to speculate where this is headed?

Accurate.

Happy 208th birthday to Indiana! On December 11th, 1816, #Indiana was admitted to the Union as the 19th state! A very short #Hoosier history and fact 🧵

What kind of weird research question would they be trying to answer with a poll like this? 🤨

I failed to get much done on my "to do" list today. But... I did clean up the dozens of icons and files I had randomly sitting on my computer desktop and now it's all clean and empty.

Colleges and universities who have not yet taken serious steps to address demographic changes may be in serious trouble: "...enrollment challenges resulting from an impending demographic cliff are likely to significantly increase annual college closures for reasonable scenarios."

How many of you played #HeroQuest as a kid? It was recently re-released and it's awesome introducing my kids to it and playing again!

They do exist! @gbosslet.bsky.social

"90% Chili Arguments."

This is hilarious, yet also accurate. blueskyroast.com/roast/pollak...

Me: "Something in this chocolate upsets my stomach." Also me: "I think I should have some more of that chocolate."

This is a really good article for those (like me) interested in apples #AppleSky @pollak.bsky.social

Chili wars of 2024 have commenced Chili must have beans Come at me @pollak.bsky.social

Delighted to discover a half-page #Bluesky Basics article in the Sunday print edition of the local paper!

This really does get me in the holiday spirit! NOW I’m ready to deck someone in the hall! 🎄🔔🎁🎄

I must say this as clearly as possible: if you have, in the last ten years, thought "I just don't get tech" or that you're "getting old" or "you're not technical," you are the victim - so much of the tech industry is now oriented around making you do stuff rather than doing stuff for you.
