Me, oblivious, on a run. ~walks into my inlaws house~ My mother-in-law to my husband: "you'd still be Christian if you didn't marry her" Me: 👁👄👁 My toddler: 👁👅👁

Incredibly wacky that humans spend our time oppressing people and doing wage labor rather than sharing resources and hanging out at the beach

America is so mentally ill you cant even escape ads at the beach; prop planes fly parallel to the coastlines with ad banners. Spam even when you are trying to enjoy nature.

“I’m not saying platner is an angel” This is why the bear

If for whatever reason you used to be a real piece of shit, and now you look back on that period of your life with regrets, that is good and laudable, and also, there might be some jobs that you shouldn't have. I do not find this to be especially complicated.

This is anecdotal, but I feel like I got a few rejections after revisions between like 2013-2019, but don't think I've had a rejection after revision since 2020? Is this also something others are noticing?

Same energy

*wearily* guess I'm going to decline participating in this computing and public data access grant I am supposed to be a Co-I on.

It just feels like the mean ones never die. And this is deeply unfair.

Universities: we absolutely should invest in flashy schools of computing. *Deadpan to the cameras* www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

I need a millenial-accurate depiction of the Borrowers. They live in the drywall of an '07 home renovated in 2020 to grey laminate flooring. They have a Tom's shoe & use the bristles of a Quip electric toothbrush. There's a Stanley tumbler & a Labubu back there. They have a communal Plan B pill.

Me submitting papers for peer review:

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.

My toddler has failed 3 hearing tests over the past 3 months because of fluid in the ear. We finally have an ENT appointment in 2 weeks. On a speech therapy waitlist that is approximately 1 year long. Getting specialty care is... so so soooo fun. Taking care of children is soooo fun.

Why is proofreading THE ACTUAL WORST

They're blocking the straits for Pride

He looks like a mouse villain that got his wish to be a human.

.... I think us dropping the SAT/ACT from admissions was a mistake. In this essay

I agree that men should be required to do slutty little dances in public before anyone will have sex with them.

It's a sociopolitical mystery as to why so many college professors dislike the political party whose platform includes the plank "fuck you woke gay commies, we're going to obliterate your profession"

There is probably some argument to be made about how Trump is the festering manifestation and result of the Republican desperation for power. How they allow such blatant corruption because they are so afraid of losing power they have no principles they will not abandon.

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

I donate every year to SCHOLARSHIPS and the food pantry on campus. My nefarious liberal agenda to reduce student loans and feed students.

Hi in yet another stunning example, "dems running our oppressive institutions wont save us" our towns self-proclaimed liberal sheriff went out of his way to call an incarcerated man who died by suicide yesterday a "transient".

They're referring to immigrants, to human beings as "it"

There is no bottom to the misdeeds of the Trump Crime and Corruption Family. #StopTheKleptocracy

Meet me for an agenic milkshake in the blockchain at 12:00 for lunch, I garble as I choke to death.

I feel informed. Like too informed. Please inform me less.

Guys what if we invent a degree that takes 2-3 years and is specific to a particular career or industry? What if we called it an associates degree?

As someone who grew up mormon, I'm still not going to wade into the "does god have genitals?" discourse. And that's what I'd call personal growth.

Death of American research

Not at all worrying or troubling

The far right is being racist. Here's why it's the left's fault. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I think Lupita Nyong’o should be Odysseus and Manny Jacinto should be Helen of Troy. This face absolutely can launch a thousand boats.

I am in my second wave of divorces era. When I was in my late 20s, bunch of friends got divorced because they got married young. This late 30s batch are my friends with kids who are sick of life. I keep asking my husband, "we are good right"? 🧐

If they AI the google scholar search I will riot

Sad that the internet is crappier in 2026 than it was in 2006.

Summer has officially started. That means I am starting to draft book #2 and writing requires reading.

Hi two things can be true at once. GLP-1s can be useful medications. But also, direct to consumer marketing is incredibly problematic and we can be critical of the massive GLP-1 marketing push.

Its a testament to how hated this woman is that I was in North Carolina for less than 24 hours before two different people were like "I hate her so much I could puke."

This is an unlimited screen time type of evening and I wont be hearing shit from the pediatricians about it at this time.

Sent my paper to my coauthors and don't wanna work on anything else I need to work on but I also don't have anything to do that isn't annoying so now I'm just doing nothing should I get a hobby send help

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

The NYT consistently pretends that the only universities that exist are the ivies. Most college grads go to public universities, get a grip!

We have TWO beef ranches and something just called "beef extension"

Birth rates and fertility is overdiscussed. I am going to throw myself into the sun.

If this was African and African Diaspora Studies being mandated we’d see entire issues of prestige magazines pondering the disastrous implications.
