The Worldwide Leader, which practically raised me, continues its own destruction. The network is essentially unwatchable at this point. @espn.com

Still very confused why Jack Johnson played the halftime show. And when did he get a neck tattoo?

I just saw a commercial for the USA Olympic team soundtracked to Mumford and Sons. Because nothing matters anymore.

This is Looney tunes to me. Do people not read the Illiad and the Odyssey in school? I won't even ask about the Aeneid... My son read the Odyssey, in Spanish! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/m...

So here's the thing. If you are a coach of youth athletics, don't email the parents telling them that you run the players until someone pukes. It makes me question your judgement and qualifications. It also forces me to explain to my son why he can't play football this year. Nobody wins.

Oral exams? This essay has some interesting strategies. It's all hands on deck, kitchen sink time in order to slow the invasion of AI. The kids are worth fighting for. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/care...

I also charge my Buzz in Savannah, in my garage! I've been puzzled as to who uses the in-town chargers. After 800 miles, up and back to Down East NC, I can say that chargers abound on the 95 corridor. I love the opportunity to get out and stretch my legs. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/b...

If you come to #Savannah (or live here), I can't speak highly enough about the Tybee Oyster Company and their signature 'Salt Bombs'. We had a couple dozen on the 4th and they were money. www.southernliving.com/georgia-oyst...

My buddy Matt Brown is in the fight of his life with unexpected health issues and other challenges. Matt is an OG member of the Trace Metal Posse and the epitome of the academic profession. He could use our help. Every little bit counts. Thank you for considering it! gofund.me/e454a6ee8

No, I do not require assistance reading messages sent to me. I do need assistance turning off the assistant.

Egypt should call timeout.

I don't understand why the keeper doesn't get more protection. Dude was playing the ball.

Working on my independence day playlist... youtu.be/n5Y5wPiY0L4?...

Some @spanishlovesongs.bsky.social since I can't make it to the show.

Not the hottest takes... It's hard to tell what's supposed to be a foul with all the flopping, whining and acting. The homer American commentators are nauseating. I much prefer the Telemundo broadcast. Reminds me of '94. Pulisic has the charisma of fern.

Thanks @geotraces.bsky.social for the invitation. I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss atmospheric deposition as part their seminar series. I provided a 'brief' overview and then Dr P Panda followed with his work in the Southern Ocean. 🌊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGVb... @universityofga.bsky.social

He can't do anything wrong. Sign me up!

I filled the Buzz's battery from 18% to 80% for $1.36. (53.4 kwh) EV life is the only life for me!

I can't be with these two goons today but they are so fantastic that most days feel like Father's Day...but definitely not every day.

Never rooted for Spain harder in my entire life.

I know nothing about soccer, but I do know something about chasing 20 athletes around a field. One official seems like not enough.

www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/c... Pause the doom scrolling and acknowledge that Trump takes hella losses. And I'm not just talking about his wars of choice.

Heat index is currently 102. Let's do this. All those summers working in the VA summer heat have prepared me for this moment. 2 toms of shell to the backyard Go!

leebains.bandcamp.com/album/free-s... Another plug. Support one of the best guys out there.

Do yo' self a favor and pre order @perennialtheband.bsky.social from @bandcamp.com

Heck of an opportunity. 🌊

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

Must be surreal to be playing sports on the soil of a nation that started bombing your country for no reason.

I'll be speaking about atmospheric deposition later this month as part of the @geotraces.bsky.social online seminar series. I'll cover everything we know and don't know in a brisk 20 minutes!🌊 www.geotraces.org/online-semin...

I'm marking Freedom 250 by watching Ecuador v. Ivory Coast on Telemundo.

Working on a talk and I realized it's 24 years since my first "big" cruise. 35 days from Tokyo to Honolulu.

I would rather give up email.

When it is swampy out, we get ice cream.

But we can get better, because we are not dead yet

If you have the chance, go see Weird Al. It's more like musical theater than a traditional concert but holy smokes was it fun. Dude is a pro.

Thanks! I now have a new prop with which to reinforce to my students that AI makes you the dumbest.

No MeanCat, but a real soaker here in Sandfly.

I love Mamdani New York.

What's 4 lbs of lobster among friends?

I don't always drink beer but when I do....

If you had told 14 yo me that someday I would be watching lacrosse on my phone on a plane...

I will be a soldier in the CT lobster roll wars this weekend. "To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents." -W Churchill

Definitely include this in your commencement address Mr Solomon. Please, tell everyone how it's ok that AI may replace you because your great grandpa didn't have AC. Sorry you can't buy a house. (he's not sorry) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/o...

I was part of a new article up on @agu.org GBC if you are interested in comparing dust measurements to model estimates. dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

I already want to know how to opt out. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/b...

Introduce yourself with 10 bands / musicians you’ve seen live: Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls Spanish Love Songs Toots and the Maytals NOFX Bad Religion Face to Face The National War on Drugs Pixies Rage Against the Machine

Well this is pretty cool

Reviews are in on student's first manuscript. And they are helpful! Breathe in...slow exhale.

There is no wrong way to watch lacrosse but with ice cream is the preferred method.
