This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

Katniss looks like she's about to hold court. All hail the Birman cat queen. Warning, she Judges.

Munro Day is my most favouritist day - a holiday JUST for Dal. Though, at 8:30 AM, I have been grading assignments for 2 hours. :P Time to go for a run! Learn about Munro Day, here! www.dal.ca/about/our-st...

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

People who don’t need public transit shouldn’t be making decisions about public transit. Their lifestyle is built on getting their personal vehicle as close to their destination as possible, it’s a conflict of interest.

I know that being an academic is not "9-5" but jeeeeepers, a last minute, high priority, job search application review is not what I need right now

What. The. Actual. She couldn't even get her question in. He's such a disgusting moron. I can't even right now.

Look, Facilities Management, EVERYTIME I enter the buildings, I do this, AND, EVERYONE around me is doing this. But, kicking off your feet and wiping on mats still make a mess when you have thousands of entrances per day in salty and snowy conditions.

Is there a name for being aggressively anti-AI? Because I'm that bitch.

Whelp my bus is stuck in the bus lane on Bayers Road.

This snow plan detour confuses me... so, basically... it gets people at the very first stop, and then none until it reaches Young street? I mean... the affected stops are ALL of the pickup spots for this express bus?? Tempted to go down Southgate and catch it there and see what it does....

Can we please never forget this. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

Ohhhhh I love foraminifera pseudopods!

yup, Catherine O'Hara had it with 2026. Ugggghhhhhhh this year SUCKS. :(

In this video, you can hear the transit driver say "he didn't even press the friggin' lights, man" --- but they WERE lit. And, EVEN if they weren't, it's STILL a crosswalk. The number of times I have been honked at because the lights didn't WORK when pressed. Agh www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Hmmm sidewalk plow just went by... maybe a run is in my future? Living in an apartment building, no shovelling required, so gotta get my cardio somehow :P

Had to cut my run short this morning, my face was frozen and my balaclava and hood were frozen stiff and couldn't cover more of my cheeks. Stay warm friends!

"The federal government is killing people in the streets, so sports are canceled," is the point we have reached.

It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.

Just a wee lil jaunt. If the people of Minnesota can be out protesting in colder temps, I can surely get out for a run.

Come onnnnnn, let's go.

When sitting on the bus the other day, I kept count for what I could... and NOT including work/delivery vehicles, I counted 75 single-occupant vehicles, for only 13 with more than one person. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Writing is thinking Outsourcing the entire task of writing to LLMs will deprive us of the essential creative task of interpreting our findings and generating a deeper theoretical understanding of the world.

Trump places tariff on the mic Carney dropped.

Canadian PM Carney: "We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... You cannot "live within the lie" of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Bus was on detour due to accident at the bottom of Larry U, so had to walk to Bedford highway to catch a bus, but pretty sunrise. Be careful out there folks, accidents everywhere!

Snow day = lot of work done today!? (advising and office hours, labs are ready for NEXT week, and SEASIDE info session stuff done, and all reference letters due), AND my culinary-student son and I cleaned/re-organized 2 utensil drawers, and 2 large pull-out kitchen drawers of pots/pans/baking stuff.

Was more of a frolic than a run, but it sure was pretty!

Dry January? In this global security situation?

Yay, gym culture invading work spaces v3.0.... grown. I ask about your morning coffee, "how do you take your insecurity, sir?"

Pick one: A) Writes in silence B) Needs café noise C) Only productive at night D) Panics then hyperfocuses

I feel like I am in the minority... I despise having too many tabs open. Right now I just have 2, but my max is usually only 6-7. I get what I need from the site (or, bookmark it, or send myself the link) and close 'er up.

I've been married for 20 years and still cannot get my husband to sit/lay down slowly. All of our furniture has been damaged from the 200+ lb "flop fall". Like, he practically cannon balls into bed or the couch every time. It's like a childhood habit he CANNOT break (that breaks!)

It's a "two sets of outdoor gear" day... pouring rain this morning on the way to work, but a windchill in the minus double digits when I need to come home...

Finally a map that's more accurate in terms of a projection - in both meanings of the word.

OMG I love her.

It's Reference Whack-a-Mole season... two new requests came in today :P

Whelp, when plowing through the 7 reference letters I had to write, I discovered 5 more. Good news (until the next round of deadlines Jan 30), only 1 left to do! (PS I refuse to use AI to write personal, individual, human letters... well, I refuse to use AI anyway, but especially here).

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
