My coauthor Jay Falk's postdoctoral fellowship was terminated by the Trump administration for documenting the hummingbird example in this paper.

We will always have the memory of Haaland looking like he's a lost child wandering on the field before his shark attack. 🇳🇴 🦈 Thanks to Norway for giving us something to RO! 🚣‍♂️ about. 🤍

Sending love to this little country of 5.6 million. 🇳🇴 🤍 They were ranked #31 when they came in the tournament. They hadn't qualified in 28 years. They're usually reserved & humble. But the whole world fell in love with their fans 🚣‍♂️ & their Haaland. 🤍 🏆⚽️ Come out of your shell more often.

With Fly Bye detroit-style Spicy Hawaiian #pizza and Pizzeria Bianco wood-fired pizza, #Phoenix has risen to one of the top pizza cities in the US for me. Delicious! 🍕😋

If you are in downtown #Phoenix, check out the #Arizona Latino Arts & Cultural Center. I enjoyed getting a personal gallery tour from Barbara Fancey, the featured artist this month. And the cafe has yummy drinks! #FridaKahlo #art

Friday at the Ferris Wheel. This morning's Chicago sunrise at Navy Pier.

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

If you are planning a trip to Chicago, to visit the Obama Presidential Center, you might want to visit these other sites in Jackson Park that will let you know why the South Side and Hyde Park gave rise to a change maker. map and background links open.substack.com/pub/patricia...

“In honor of former President Barack #Obama, Stivers and staff created the 44 Reserve, a proprietary blend of Kenyan, Hawaiian and Indonesian beans, symbolizing Obama’s roots.” Can’t wait to try the 44 Reserve coffee blend from Color Me #Coffee in #Chicago!

Getting @obamafoundation.bsky.social #Obama Presidential Center tickets is tough. I can’t wait to visit. I’m happy to know so many people want to visit! Am in a tickets queue and have at least an hour to wait. Exciting that so many ppl will see our beautiful city! #Chicago #hope

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Am at an airport and a flight got delayed. The ppl who need help figuring out how to get to their connections are demanding to talk to a person and want confirmation that customer service will not be an #AI bot. We humans are not happy in this new era.

Heavy ICE activity continued across Chicagoland over the July 4 weekend. Rapid responders reported at least 7 detainments (that we know of) yesterday alone. Outside the Will County courthouse in Joliet yesterday, onlookers also recorded an agent pushing one young observer to the ground, hard.

Heavy ICE activity in Chicagoland continued today (if recent trends hold, it's likely to continue for the foreseeable future). Rapid response reports and photos/videos shared online indicate detainments today in Chicago's heavily Latine Albany Park, Humboldt Park, Gage Park and Pilsen communities.

People say they could never live in #Chicago bc of the winters. But I will take cold over this heat in #Phoenix any day. We can bundle up and go outside still. 107 - 112 degrees Fahrenheit highs over next few days. 🔥 🥵 No thank you.

Is there any team at the #WorldCup more fun than Norway? #VikingRow #Norway

Okay… #Norway (aka lutefisk eaters as my Dad keeps calling them) needs to go all the way now!! 🇳🇴🇳🇴 Let’s GO The Hansons from Eugene, Oregon via South Dakota are all in!! #worldcup ⚽️

somebody give me whatever beetroot juice strategy England came up with to deal with altitude

I’ve also been thinking that the World Cup is where people are finding collective joy rather than in America 250, and the creation of international and cross cultural community has been incredible to behold.

The sort of game that will end up with a named Wikipedia page

I grew up hearing this chant from my Dad who went to Pacific Lutheran University: Lutefisk lutefisk lefse lefse we’re from PLU ya sure betcha! I am substituting PLU for #Norway right now. Lutefisk lutefisk lefse lefse we’re from Norway ya sure betcha! Let’s GOOOO 🇳🇴 #worldcup

“We understand that your people are ruled by those who have proven themselves most adept at preying upon the young of your species.

Hanson 🇳🇴 is my given surname and I’m also 1/4 Brazilian 🇧🇷. Such a dilemma today for the #WorldCup. I’m leaning Norway because they haven’t played in the World Cup since 1998. Plus..you have to love the rowing fans! #Brasil #Brazil #Norway youtu.be/SW2Jk0LXeMU?...

Are there any really good restaurants in the USA that have authentic paella? I was just back in #Spain & had Valencian paella at Casa Carmela in Putacana area of #Valencia. Also had seafood paella at the beach boardwalk in #Barcelona. There has to be some place in the US that can come close? #Spain

My grandfather gave me one last gift before he passed away: a Bible. Inside, he wrote four words: "Have faith, not fear." Fear is the accelerant of nationalism. Faith is the foundation of patriotism. Let’s choose faith.

Are we surprised? More of the same. #gender #ai

Cape Verde! Wow 🇨🇻 I love an underdog! #worldcup

Dogsitting these pups is super chill. Coconut (Coco) and Hazelnut (Hazel) #dogs #pets

SpaceX is the main attraction in the American Innovation Hall. Again, the Air and Space Museum is TWO BLOCKS AWAY. The Smithsonian on a normal Tuesday is 50x better than this.

The National Endowment for the Arts stage has a solo performer up there right now. He is playing an audience of one. He just urged her to follow him on Instagram. I have seen larger audiences at 8am academic panels. I feel bad for the guy.

Liliput is in #Valencia! My son is 18 and he and his friend immediately went back to childhood when we stumbled across Park Gulliver today while riding bikes through the urban garden of Turia. They said it is the best playground they have ever been to. #Spain #Espana 🇪🇸

Hot take … I like #Valencia better than #Barcelona #Spain 🇪🇸

#Valencia is like the #Chicago of #Spain. Way underrated/not known enough. This city is incredible. The people are so welcoming, great art & architecture, yummy food, beaches. And it is so clean and chill. #Espana 🇪🇸

A Japanese fan broke down crying after his country's elimination, but a group of Brazilians fans went to console him and Mexican fans made him soar. You gotta love the World Cup! ❤️🌎⚽️ Video: RÉCORD
