Absolutely beautiful kickoff to #SER2026 by Wendy Nembhard, PhD, MPH, FACE, FAHA about life lessons. Most importantly “life is more than work”.

THEY ALL WON 🏆 🏆🏆

A university that called the cops on its own peaceful students is now set to be represented by one of them in Congress

for the billionth time, everyone who worked for USAID knew it was a tool of soft power, but accepted it because the tradeoff is you get to materially improve people’s lives that otherwise would die. hoarding the fruits of imperialism for the core and letting the world starve is not better.

happy to be back with my epi colleagues for another year of #SER2026! though I can’t say I’ll be doing much exploring of Phoenix since it’s currently 100 degrees at 10 am 😬

bro. lol. lmao

steampunk guy who keeps getting disappointed by the latest "steam machine" news

this is so insane

I’m rereading the dispossessed and at least once every 10 pages I read something that makes me go “man this is such a good book.” Le Guin was a true master

It’s a bit on the nose that the Obama Center keeps people waiting for hope and change in the Hope and Change Lobby™️

worth a shot: last night my partner and I were leaving a show and she tripped on a massive pothole and seriously sprained her ankle. can we get it filled before more people get hurt? on 46th between 7th and 8th @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov @nyc-dot.bsky.social @nyc311.bsky.social

Very interesting talk by @mendelrandom.bsky.social on the apparent effect of shingles vaccines on dementia. Clear discontinuity from shingles vaccines on shingles, but not on dementia, in this much larger follow up in England, using similar analytic choices as the Wales study that showed a benefit.

New York is on one tonight. feels like the whole city is out

new Performative Male Final Boss discovered: the guy sitting next to me at the climbing gym cafe was mansplaining feminism to two women

ah yes, Mr. Practiced Politics the Right Way

pulling this shit in indie ball is grim. hating gay people so much you'd rather go back to working at autozone than be a professional athlete is insane

celebrating my grant submission at the newly James Beard award-winning Best Bar, Scotch Lodge in Portland. not bad for a conference week

there are literally 4 seasons of an insanely popular Netflix show that prove the opposite

submitted my first grant!!! R36 dissertation award to NIDA is in. fingers crossed for a successful submission! wow that was exhausting

very cool to see this headline while at a substance use conference #CPDD2026

just watched the girl making my coffee sneeze three times without covering her mouth. good

you know you’re in Portland when your breakfast burrito is served with ketchup

HAPPY PRIDE KNICKS IN FIVE

Watching everything be better without you from Albania:

KNICKS IN FIVE! Congratulations, New York Knicks 🏆

It is hilarious that the ONLY loss the Knicks had in the Finals was the single game that Donald J Trump went to

Mamdani truly has the mandate of heaven

KNICKS WIN NEW YORK OVER EVERYONE RAAHHHHHH

our flight streak is behind live so goodbye until the end lol

complaining about people complaining about the refs is worse than complaining about the refs. every team’s fans in the history of sports has complained about their whistle. it’s part of the game!

I’m honestly really excited about the new jackass movie

i don’t want to see wemby suspended for his dirty play. what i want is for us as a society to confront the underlying question: are we going to keep letting frenchmen play basketball or are we going to take a stand

"The refs have been so bad tonight, I hate the refs" Now replace "refs" with "women". Not so funny, is it?

Timeline rn: Fuck Wemby Wemby eat shit Fucking Wemby Wemby suck my d*ck You will wait longer for some A trains due to police activity at 42 St–Port Authority Goddamit Wemby

switching back and forth between the Knicks and silksong. highly recommend

If I send you this, change the song

watching the Knicks game on my flight, and the picture is so grainy I can’t tell when the ball goes in. is this what it was like watching sports in the 80s?

let’s go Knicks baby, defeat the evil Frenchman

(before the series) this will be a fun competition between two likable, entertaining teams (Game 5) let us stamp out any remaining joy in the heart of victor wembanyama, a man i hate in real life

lol he really really said “I’m in your head” then his team blew a 29 point lead

white people love to name their professional cornhole playing sons Cash Chamness

the port authority of New York and New Jersey must be abolished

becoming a sovereign citizen specifically for the jfk airtrain fare from the subway

brother I am on a roll lately let's go

alright which one of you signed me up for the mypillow guy's marketing listserv

Let's assume, for argument's sake, that the Knicks really did, unlikely as it seems, win Game 4. The problem is that many, many, MANY of us simply cannot believe it. It seems for all the world like cheating. This matters, & is going to matter more.

it really happened this team had perfect vibes and won 13 straight and he cursed them

I am buying a second bottle of champagne for Jim Dolan to go next to my Trump bottle in the fridge

I count at least 8 very obvious points that should have gone to the Knicks and instead went to the spurs

kind of hope this antagonism boils over into direct warfare that ends with Zohran forcing msg to move away from Penn station
