This seemed a little on-the-nose so I double checked the authenticity of the quote. It’s real.

LMK if you have any chilly skeletons, @beloit-bioarch.bsky.social

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

Turns out that what I needed to do today was: 1) run twice the distance I usually run 2) have a long conversation with a dear colleague I somehow haven’t spoken to all semester. 3) eat a big vegetarian lunch at the new cafeteria. (They really leveled up.) 4) cancel my class for the afternoon.

This is freaking diabolical.

Shamelessly trolling for likes with a pic of the gorgeous Winona.

May I offer you a beautiful Bean during this trying time?

Oooh oooh oooh Chinese space thing! Shiny

We have to get guns under control. I was looking up info about this shooting and just put “shooting” into a DDG news search and holy shit. Pages and pages. The high profile shooting in the national news was depressing but the number of local stories was absolutely overwhelming.

That's quite the chart annotation. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The clock is ticking... Somewhere between the return of martian samples and a successful crewed lunar landing, historians will one day place the moment when China took the global lead in space exploration.

Yuss yuss yuss yuss this is my favorite film genre now.

These go great with chai tea.

Cloaca facts.

It hurts my heart to see the desperate gather like this in temporary tent cities, bartering produce grown on small, hardscrabble farms and handmade goods, as we do in war-ravaged liberal Beloit. (Saturdays 8-2, downtown Beloit, WI! Come check us out! Biggest farmer's market in WI outside Madison!)

Me: Okay, the Physics and Astronomy Club wants to have an Observatory Open House, but I'm old and tired, I'm gonna unlock the doors for them and help if they have trouble with the equipment and otherwise just find a spot to chill and stay out of their way. Also Me:...

Of course, if you care about them you can also use a search engine. Little has been reported on Jose Andres Bordones-Molina, of Venezuela. Miguel Angel Garcia Medina, 31, of Mexico, was shot 8 times and suffered a stroke, his wife has shared. Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, of El Salvador, was killed.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

What in the absolute FUCK. The only words I have right now are F-bombs.

Okay, that's it, I'm officially giving up on making students do lab notebooks. They're just too much of a pain in the butt to haul around and students These Days don't do well with the lack of structure. WORKSHEETS. It's gonna be 100% worksheets from now on.

Blessing your feed with some baby arctic foxes. At this time of year, young foxes in Finland are leaving the den to start life on their own.⁠ The arctic fox is a critically endangered species in Finland but the good news is, numbers have been increasing in recent years.🧡

*heavy sigh* Free James Comey!

Mario Guevara, a journalist who was legally authorized to work in the U.S., should be celebrating his birthday today with his family and loved ones. Instead, he's living in limbo, unsure whether he will be deported at any moment.

I have a two-step solution to our modern loneliness epidemic: 1. Haul immense stone slabs over long distances to build a Great Temple to Aten; 2. Gather at the Great Temple to Aten.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

1) Here are some other things we apparently have on this planet. 2) Now I’m craving gummi squids.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Me talking in a perfectly normal way to my physics faculty colleague in my physics professor office: “That little gray fellah is an Armadillidium vulagre, and those over there are A. nasatum. #isooods 1/2

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

I love that the FBI now releases evidence from crime scenes that with the same energy as dudes claiming the Starbucks barista wrote a mean name on their coffee cup but when investigated it turns out they wrote it themselves.

The concept of trying to implement geoengineering solutions to #climate change is like trying to design a complicated, expensive, unreliable helmet while you're still hitting yourself in the head with a 2x4.
