Had the Kentucky game on for literally 0.5 seconds before Chandler gave it away with a dumbass foul. I don’t think I can do this anymore, guys. It’s literally going to kill me. 🏀😿

KIDS: Have you played all the Final Fantasy games? ME: ...Yes. Most multiple times through. *Proceeds to impart as much FF knowledge as I can* Gave my Ultimania books to the kids and my seven-year-old thought the main character of FF 6 was...Gau. 😂

Redemption for all bird-based football teams tonight against the Patriots. 🐣🏈

I hate every one of these de-aged commercials, for reasons I cannot quite articulate

The real stars of Yellow Jacket Roller Derby are the announcers. Right up there with the Braves announcers’ banter. 😂

“Chemistry is not a single dish, but a banquet!” So pumped for our ASF 2026 event, Einstein’s Scientist Ghost Tour. Archimedes, the Curies, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, and more! atlantasciencefestival.org/events-2026/...

The FF7 Rebirth soundtrack is on Apple Music, which is great and making me want to play through the game again. But parts of the experience were so cosmically exhausting to my nearly 40-year-old hands (Gilgamesh Island, combat simulator, Rufus, Roche...I'm sure there are more)...I'm not sure I can.

It doesn't happen often, but whenever I get a call from school about my son, my mind immediately goes here... "I have no idea where he would've gotten a hold of German pornography." 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py3U...

Five classes I took in college, each with a story (some more than one)… Asian Philosophy Advanced Organic Chemistry Lab Sociology 101 Principles of Chemical Processes General Chemistry II

As educators trying to make things kinda hard to challenge students and help them develop but not too hard to frustrate and discourage them is a tough challenge.

My book chapter on teaching organic chemistry using a hybrid specifications grading system is now live! YAY! (Also, finally. 😅) doi.org/10.1021/bk-2...

Some nights, whooping up on a weaker bot is all you can muster. At least two ways for white to mate in two here. #chesspunks

Fourth and 4 on the Seahawks’ 6, down 4 with 5 minutes left in the game…and the Rams go for it. (And naturally, don’t get it.) Second boneheaded fourth-down attempt of the day. Take the points, trust your defense, and kick a field goal to win the game! Yeesh!

And now the Pats have tied it and the Broncos wish they had three more points on the board. Going for it made no sense.

Once again, I’m baffled by a fourth and short call. Your offense is rolling, you’re up 7, and you’re on the Pats 20 with 4th and 1. You‘re facing one of the best defenses in the NFL. You kick the field goal! 🤷‍♂️🐴🏈

Does stirring matter in chemistry? 🤔 Read our recent editorial, responding to the Synlett paper that caused so much debate around #MixingMatters: 🔗 www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejo...

This year's new years "chess-olution" is building a catalogue of the Coffee Chess blitz games. This one has a fantastic endgame: "Don't Ever Do That Again" 😂 Black missed the one move that holds a draw. #chesspunks www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPkJ...

This is absolutely wild. Imagine telling people in 2015 that, just over 10 years later, StackOverflow would be dead. www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

I've started a project to archive all the games of Coffee Chess in lichess studies and PGNs. This will in no way, shape, or form improve my chess. But it sure is fun! #chesspunks lichess.org/study/XEEZE7dM

False alarm. It was a graduate course in ECE. (In Clough Commons. At 8 am on a Tuesday?!)

White to play and mate in three. I played the more obvious (IMO) mate in four. #chesspunks

Reflecting on how I spent the weekend devouring playoff football, I'm beginning to wonder... ...is football actually my favorite sport now? 🤔

Friends don’t let friends play the Philidor defense. White to play and mate in two.

Finally sucked it up and subscribed to Dropout after years of freeloading on YouTube. Mulligan and Wysocki as giant babies was just too much. 👶👶

It sort of blows my mind that, if you start with a function and transform it mathematically, the transformed version has all the same information as the original. Legendre transforms make thermodynamics seem a lot less arbitrary... moleculeworld.wordpress.com/2025/12/30/t...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33...wow. Just a great video game from top to bottom. All the best aspects of Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XVI with excellent music and a great story. If you're an RPG fan, get it. (Yes, I know I'm extremely late to this party.)

Let’s get the goats’ goat; GO FALCONS! 🐣🏈

Good ol’ GT actively blowing it. A tale as old as time… Take off the Pop Tart costume, Buzz! Rally thorax time! 🐝🏈

A few more thoughts on this great paper. #chemsky moleculeworld.wordpress.com/2025/12/16/b...

An elder of mechanistic reasoning expounds on a painful truth: students don't make sense of organic reactions starting from mechanistic reasoning. Knowledge of reactions has to come first. (Same is true for practicing organic chemists, though we don't like to admit it.) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Raheem can still pound sand, but all credit to the Falcons for never giving up! 🐣🏈

There is quite a bit of AI skepticism on chemsky, and reasonably so - but it is very interesting to see /another/ chemistry AI startup (Excelsior Sciences) get bigtime funding ($95M): cen.acs.org/physical-che... by @cenmag.bsky.social's Aayushi Pratap #chemchat

Thoughts on enforcing significant digits in Chemical Principles II, in light of a compelling new paper by Britt and Weinrich. I want to get tougher on significant digits...but how to do so rationally? moleculeworld.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/t...

I swore I would not give Square Enix one red cent more for Final Fantasy Tactics, considering I've already paid for it twice. Alas, my son picked it out yesterday and I just couldn't resist. 😅 Here's my 2001 Greatest Hits copy next to yesterday's.

I don't like to do anything to discourage students from speaking up in class. But a CTL collaborator recently asked us if we should be teaching students "how to ask good questions," and that's been bugging me! Some thoughts. moleculeworld.wordpress.com/2025/11/22/h...

YouTube (Google) has decided that my playlists are now "Courses," which is cool, except that "Courses" seem to literally be playlists with no additional features?

Another historic meltdown from the Atlanta Falcons. Any other owner would’ve had a heart attack and died watching them; presumably Arthur Blank is literally a cyborg. 🤷‍♂️

Whoa. This is a copy of the workbook I used in freshman English (high school) in 2000—exact same edition, just sitting on a table at the library. Memories.

Followed by Penix with a “you had one job” moment unaware that he’s the first person to touch the ball after a snap. Guys, please get blown out next time and save us all the trouble.

FALCONS FALCONING 🚨🚨🚨 Epic touchdown to get to 23 - 24 is immediately followed by missing the PAT 💀 4 mins to go in the fourth. Just pain. So much pain.
