As I sit during a break in my conference at Harvard Medical School, this news really fucking sucks😞

Carrots, in an intimate moment.

Disappointing carrot harvest.

My fellow citizens of Laramie did a fine job today. Special shout out to the LPD for protecting citizens and upholding the law.

I think I probably set the record for least inspirational inspiration talk yesterday, and that’s saying something. #PILife

Who among us is willing to admit that they’ve looked up reviews for pill cutters? 🙋‍♂️

I wonder which classes they can skip and still get high grades? All I know is that at humble Wyoming, if students routinely skipped my genetics class they were destined to fail. Harvard Students Skip Class and Still Get High Grades, Faculty Say www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...
