Would really like to thank JetBlue for cancelling our flights for the Sunday of Thanksgiving. I'm sure there will be plenty of alternative options available

They should put Jennifer Cole in charge of Northwestern

Thankful for all my students I've ever had, except Justin Ramberger

@mattielubchansky.com congratulations on your listing in here for Simplicity!

AND MAYBEEEEEEEEEE YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE THAT SAVES MEEEEEE

Here is a comic on the use of AI in education that @makinaro.com and I made for Chemical Engineering Education. Maki's art is otherworldly in this one, and I'm very pleased to have gotten this published in the journal.

every time I see a "sustainability" person use a genAI image on LinkedIn, i lose yet another precious braincell

Saw Hallelujah the Hills play tonight and my soul is full

20 yrs ago I started a new band. We had rehearsed all fall & played our debut show at Great Scott, Allston, MA on 11/15/05. I hoped we'd play a few shows, maybe record an EP. 2 decades, 5 drummers, and 11 albums later, here we still is. Hallelujah the Hills is live tonight. dice.fm/event/7d7wn6...

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

Uninteresting times would be good any day now

The best band in Boston has a great concert coming up on Saturday

Thinking a lot about this panel from QC right now

Already called @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov, even though I expect them to push back on this nonsense. (Markey better not give in if he wants my vote against Moulton.) Time yet again to be loud, friends. Calling takes less than 4 minutes. Call regardless of who represents you.

the Cornell Big Red Pilled, apparently

The lesson tonight, among many others, is that you should be willing to fight for trans rights, your neighbors should fight for trans rights, politicans should fight for trans rights, everyone should fight for trans rights. Just be willing to stand up on principle and fight for them.

My students took 1st and 3rd place in the undergraduate poster competition at AIChE today. Congratulations to Marissa, Sydnie, and Kate!

Alas. Pretty good series though

well

Highly meme-able

As a 42-year-old, watching 41-year-old Max Scherzer continuing to pitch is delighting me. As a baseball fan rooting for the Jays, watching this is killing me.

Best of all, I've found a stream of the Canadian baseball broadcast so I don't need to listen to Smoltz hatecast the game, either

Everyone I know who grew up Catholic suffered from endless nonstop guilt, and everyone who is an adult convert to Catholicism seems to have endless nonstop wrong interpretations of their selected faith but none of the guilt

I really REALLY would love an engineering analysis of why Toronto's stadium is the loudest baseball stadium. Is it just the closed dome? I don't think any other baseball stadium comes close.

Happy Halloween from a lobsterman and a lobster

Happy Halloween! Best holiday!

The longest game in baseball history lasted 33 innings and the players were burning bats and benches in barrels to keep warm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest...

I did poorly on my first Thermo 1 exam in undergrad because 1) it was thermo and I didn't realize that thermo was secretly tricky until after the exam, and 2) I stayed up until 2:40 AM watching the Red Sox lose a Divison Series game in 12 innings Getting some flashbacks right now

By the time this World Series game ends, everyone playing and everyone watching will have been thrown out on the bases at least once

I for one think that it's bad for baseball that the person who oversees it all doesn't really like baseball, and that's why we're seeing the utter nonsense we're seeing now I have a similar thought about a certain country

I would love an analysis but I think Toronto might have somehow have the naturally loudest stadium in baseball

The TVs at the gym are always on CNN and Fox News (and maybe ESPN) and they just seem designed to break your brain or at the very least your spirit

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

poor Seattle

can only imagine how loud that stadium is right now

any bad comics I've posted in the last 17 years are off the record

Right here just one among the many reasons I won't vote for Moulton

Nick Fox has struck again

Do not interact. Do not contribute. This is not Twitter. We do not get baited here, we block here. You hated Twitter, so stop trying to recreate it. Block here are nuclear. Take advantage and subscribe to this list blocking all government accounts in one go. bsky.app/profile/eva....

Knowing that any NSF education proposals I submit right now need to include an AI component, knowing that the AI bubble is going to burst before any such grant would be complete, and knowing how awful AI is in every form, just feels gross and ridiculous and well how else do I support my grad student

sure, but not that guy

That was an utterly blaseball double play

The current Washington Post op-ed that argues the current attacks on academia will likely have better long-term impacts than the "woke-era" attacks honestly sounds like the whining of a professor who was bad at teaching and got upset when any students questioned his reasoning.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day. This Ninja Turtles comic from 1992 went more truthful and harder at Columbus than any American K-12 school at the time, and I still appreciate its blunt honesty.

If the Mariners ever win the World Series, Seattle fans are going to be loud enough to accidentally set off the Cascadia fault zone

When God closes a door He opens a window. This drives me NUTS. Terrible roommate. The electric bill is outrageous. There's a bird's nest in the bathroom

Goodbye Yankees, at least something is good and just in the world

FRIEND: I'm starting to get my son into reading through graphic novels. You know comics. ME: That's great! Yeah, I've a ton of suggestions! FRIEND: He's hyperfocused on specific interests right now though. ME: That's fine. FRIEND: Know any about trains? ME: ... I shouldn't say "Snowpiercer", right?

I like how years of hating the Yankees has trained my mind that it was still nervous when the Blue Jays were only beating the Yankees 9-0, but once it became 11-0 it could finally relax
