I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

sorry, the cover of OK Computer is in Hartford??

exposing the children to pro-vaccine anime propaganda

the little heard of first and a half amendment

you can just socially construct your own, everyone knows that

found the SKAbertruck

what even is the theory behind this? the university president is responsible for all lecturer hires? even when he fires them without cause?

was scrolling through old Tufts honorary degrees, and, well, this is an interesting document (I gasped out loud when I got to Viktor Orban) trustees.tufts.edu/hondegree/de...

oh no, not “the relentless unleashing of congressional subpoena power”

all hail minerva

this picture of a rock is hanging in a bathroom in the building I teach in this term

personally, I love responding to inquiries

@petervale.bsky.social & I are looking for scholars interested in contributing to an upcoming workshop/special issue on aeromobility and 20th science & tech. How aircraft changed scientific practice, use in experiments, air travel as foundation for academic collaboration, etc. Please share!

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

my free-associating ass got dangerously close to remarking on the Situation in lecture today

A fantastic Web 1.0-style how-to: ratfactor.com/cards/fitted...

lol was looking to see what FIRE's up to now and they do have a list of people who've lost jobs due to criticizing Charlie Kirk, but they make sure to remind us that the Professor Watchlist is also protected speech

Kash Patel’s FBI puts two pounds of methamphetamine in the incinerator at an animal shelter, sending 14 people to the hospital, and exposing some 75 cats and dogs to the narcotic. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I really enjoy having my speech chilled

the soundtrack to this movie was the first ever CD I bought

introducing my children to Godzilla ‘98, which has an extraordinary 20% on rotten tomatoes

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

my daughter likes pineapple on pizza but hates Hawaiian pizza anyway because of the ham

look how cool my wife is grayareafestival.io/christina-ag... 😍

some gremlin has snuck into my computer and booked too many appointments

language has a lot to answer for

keep your jobs, folks

if not whiteboard, then why whiteboard-shaped?

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

While I was lecturing today I spotted this empty sausage package on the floor. Someone’s got a serious snack game.

oh hey, how surprised I am at the FIRE position on AI slop www.thefire.org/news/why-we-...

anyway, very exciting day to have a faculty meeting on the new viewpoint diversity center

Senior Lecturer immediately fired, Department Head and Dean removed, full Wrongthink Audit of all courses ordered. I’m sure the NYT has dispatched Anemona Hartocollis, perhaps accompanied by the Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf, to have a genial dinner party at the home of the person fired.

Yes — a senior lecturer named Melissa McCoul.

this is fucked, do we know who the professor is?

sorry, attentino

thanks, university news

oop, reposted by a 150k account, that's a muting

the video in here taken by the student interrupting the professor to say that course content is "not legal" is chilling

this journal title abbreviation sounds like a killer techno compilation

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

This is absolutely insane. They were all highly trained professionals who were setting up the factory and training American workers. None of this is true!

I've been getting cloudflare captchas left and right recently—did I become more bot-like somehow, or is this happening to everyone?

It was really nice of Seattle to make an airport for people who’ve never been to the airport before
