once again thinking about how goddamn good and beautiful Strange Days is

I’m sure lots of people wait until their children are three to sleep train them. 🥴

No matter how hard you post or what sites you do it in it’s never going to be 2019 again

Hey @forcier4heisman.bsky.social do we have a public access channel where we live

I am now even madder about Colbert getting canceled. He reunited the fucking Walkmen on his way out. youtu.be/wEg_8mpp_Kk?...

Congrats, Google. We now have unreliable AI narrators of impoverished information sources, representing their hallucinations as truth. I'm glad I learned to use a card catalog when I was a kid, because fuck this. I'm going to the library. (3/3)

Telway is a fucking gift iykyk

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Good morning.

Next thing you know she’s going ask me why the baby smells like Chinese food.

He also kicks like a mule

"Our students are not wilting flowers. They can handle controversy. They do not need sentimental, cloying nostalgia. They need encouragement to face a flawed and unjust world head on, using the tools we've given them: critical reasoning, careful research, sympathy for the oppressed."

Solo was a good movie cursed by the fact that no actor on Earth is capable of playing a young Harrison Ford.

Hi, just one more thing here, if you’ll permit me One of the biggest hurdles I’ve run into over the years when working in these spaces is a completely needless ordeal, and it’s also a frequent topic of conversation on this platform, so while I’ve got your attention …

Superb biting piece about Jimmy Fallon and the subservient role of games on television and "total commodification of play" It is important that we keep having honest conversations like this about games+play used for cultural harm www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

bye

The worst part of this is she deliberately sent this tweet when I couldn’t weigh in because MGoToddler was using my phone to watch exploding marbles or something

Thinking back to the shit-asses we elected in the “blue wave” of 2018 and praying we do better this year.

Need to stop pretending this is a good dude.

> When asked by the Guardian whether Acker denied writing the messages, his attorney responded: “Your understanding that Mr Acker does not deny this is not correct or incorrect.” are certainly words your lawyer could write…

Sold our soul to appease interests that have nothing to do with education or creating a better world. We reap what we sow. Prayers up for Mr. Syverud. 🙏

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Shutting my white ass up and listening

Seven years to the day since we first talked 🥰

Our page appears frozen but *you can still pledge.* Please, please, please tell everyone you know that the Public Access campaign is still going, despite this catastrophic glitch. Please re-post. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

I am in a mental fugue state due to new baby-lack of sleep but watching my three-year old alternate stuffing Cheetos and raspberries into his mouth has me wondering if this daring new flavor combo has legs. My brain is pudding right now.

Amazing. Let's do science and math and friendship and joy again, yeah?

The best thing about this Artemis mission was for a few short days everyone let themselves stop being cynical and instead bask in just how amazing something can be.

I know the culture has passed me by when I actively give negative fucks about shows like The Bear and The Pitt.

Yax is being so open about his frustration with how his injury limited him in both of the last two games, which is the kind of honesty that’s so important to mental health — but I hope somebody talks to him about how his unselfish play all season was why this team was ready when he got hurt.

Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isn’t how we’re gonna get to liberation. We have to live into the world we want to create.

Anyone else notice that whenever Michigan men’s basketball makes the Final Four, the Fan Five seem to find a way to make it about themselves? www.espn.com/mens-college...

The amount of amazing stretch goal stuff they are doing for this feels like at least three games worth of material.

Olaf drunk

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

If I were Perry Johnson I wouldn’t be running commercials that were close-ups of my face. 😵‍💫

Left the house with one girl two days ago. About to go home with two. 👶🙏🥰

For the record all of the U-M regents suck. Some just choose to do it more loudly than others. And none of them could get elected if they weren’t rich enough to actively campaign for an unpaid job. No business calling themselves Democrats.

Jordan Acker used his position as Regent of the @umich.edu to wage a vendetta against student protesters and to dox faculty who wouldn't serve as his mouthpiece. Now, he wants to be reelected. This is his campaign photograph.

In retrospect I may have misread a certain senator’s post this morning but in my defense we were having a baby.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Pulp Fiction or Strange Days. Can’t decide right this minute.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

I recall a professor telling us that as an undergrad there was only ONE copy of an old book in the library and it wasn’t allowed to leave the facility. He needed to find time to fully scribe the book for his personal use over multiple sessions. This was part of how he truly absorbed the material.

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

I met @forcier4heisman.bsky.social ❤️

It's a small thing amid so much death, but a thing I hate about modern war is it pushes everybody watching it to their emotional limit while underlining their powerlessness to stop it so social media seems to get mean with folks lashing out at each other over small stuff to feel control

PSA: Feeling depressed about the state of the world right now is a natural and sane response. It is an indicator of a healthy, functioning sense of compassion and empathy. Our nervous systems are not designed to endure constant trauma. You don't have to pretend everything is okay. It's not.
