Working on course notes and has any result ever been better named than the Law of the Unconscious Statistician? Absolute joy to write and so aptly named.

This is a gross affront to free speech, academic freedom, and what’s left of A&M’s reputation as a good university. Shameful behavior president.tamu.edu/messages/an-...

This professor did nothing wrong, which is why the university president is using this weird and nonsensical “doesn’t match the course description” language. TAMU is clearly in the wrong here in terms of 1) the law, 2) academic freedom, and 3) just plain doing the right thing.

Five year anniversary at Busch Stadium. We’re cute

Now! 20% More! (Than products that are 20% smaller!) Amazing

So one of those monkey’s released at the end of Superman is going to become the Ultrahumanite, right?

But her emails

These colors don't run — and they NEVER will. 🦅🏳️‍🌈

California Senator Alex Padilla was physically assaulted by federal law enforcement and detained for attempting to attend DHS secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in LA.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

My hot take is that this trend is a direct result of years of jokes about English teachers finding symbolism in text. These made whole generation think that all media is actually only surface deep and anything else is random, made-up bull shit. Authors adopted accordingly. Example:

At school, a classic Apple 2e (this says more about my school’s finances than my age) At home, a Triumph-Adler (see picture)

Being ordered to deploy military against American protesters strikes me a no-brainer order for military to refuse. The fact that there hasn’t been reporting of refusals or terminations is very troubling.

I rarely post anything from teaching evals, and of course there are lots of problems with the whole medium, but this one from a grad student helped make me feel like I’m actually doing something positive here

Baseball night

A dominant theme of the last six months is that we live under an administration that abhors children

The sky is grey, there’s a warm cat on my lap, and I just do not feel like doing much of anything right now

Official confirmation from his family that Peter David has passed away after a long illness. Tremendous writer, incredible talent. Sending my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

NYT crossword really calling me out here

We made our annual return to St Louis just in time for the big tornado. We were lucky to just lose power for only a few hours, which is more concerning than it sounds given that Sarah depends on electricity to breath, but we have plenty of batteries. Everybody is ok

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

A glorious Easter to you and your house. Qapla'!

If the government can “deport” you for having beliefs they don’t like, none of us is free. Call it what you want, but it sure as shit ain’t democracy.

Hey girls, new transition method just dropped

This could get interesting

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

so basically the "keep politics out of gaming" crowd have now destroyed gaming with politics

I must not be the first person to bring this up But there has never been a more vindicated guy

The millennial lifestyle is just moving from one once in a lifetime economic crisis to another politicalwire.com/2025/04/03/a...

Wow, this is truly scathing.

This is basically saying that if you give someone money and they give you a good in return, they've cheated

guess where they got their weird trade deficit math from? i went to the pit for y'all and brought back the screenshots with alt text

Whenever I think we’ve hit rock bottom incompetence, they find a new way

The pattern of ICE apparently hustling its detainees over a state border to frustrate habeas petitions in the jurisdiction where they were detained continues. Remember that ICE didn’t disclose Öztürk’s location, publicly or to her counsel, until she reached Louisiana.

“We’re talking about doing something extraordinary here for the government to sentence people to what’s essentially slave labor, torture, prison in El Salvador based on nothing, based on having a flower tattoo.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

How it started // how it's going

When is it enough?

Happy opening day everyone!

every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

“I didn’t get my check this month. How can I fix that?” “You can call and complain.” “And then I’ll get my check?” “No because only scammers complain and scammers don’t get checks.” “That’s a helluva catch that catch-22” “Best there is”

Right? All I want is for more KFC’s to bring back the lunch buffet and include more legs on it
