Possibly Ayn Rand, but even that would imply he's read a book.

As someone who mostly deals with the teaching side of things, I would very much like it if I could pass off my collections work to someone who is good at it and enjoys it, thank you very much!

There are 5 people with OKStupid accounts in Kingston. Out them all.

It's satire, right? I mean, it has to be... right?

When Trudeau expanded parental leave to 18 months, I thought it would be better if he required men (or non-birthing partners) to take 9 months. I think the current extension set women back.

Between corporate tech bros pushing AI and warhawks pushing bombs and MAHA goons pushing infectious diseases, nothing I do matters. I have no purpose. None of us do. There is no point to any of this? Anyway, this mid-life crisis is brought to you by my impending birthday.

Yesterday I came across a funeral book for a great-aunt, who died in 1956. I realized there is no one left alive who knew her. None of the people who signed the book and went to her funeral are alive. Why am I keeping this book, of a woman who I didn't know? Why are any of us here?

Hell of a thing to wake up to. And while my opinion is worth absolutely nothing, I’m disappointed.

Does Clarivate understand what citations are for? Clarivate's new 'Nexus' product is integrity-washing.

"With Nexus, Clarivate are essentially integrity-washing synthetic text, giving it an academic sheen without any academic rigour." www.hughrundle.net/does-clariva...

One of my favourite classes in UG was "Chemistry of Food". I majored in History and Canadian Studies. We need more scientists to love the arts and more artists to love the sciences.

A truly despicable & avoidable tragedy that you won't hear about in any State of the Union.

we have what I like to call The Pipeline which drains a broken heat pump into an otherwise unused garbage bin. It's been there for over 2 years.

Notice how it doesn’t say your prof won’t know, it doesn’t give an explicit answer. Already weaselly

Oh, CINAHL. Thanks for blocking my account. Just a suggestion, but maybe the reason I need to download lots of records is because I do systematic reviews? #medlibs #canmedlibs

Or even Canadians who have relatives in Mexico, for crying out loud. I know several people who are making anxious phone calls to parents, aunts and uncles, etc.

Do not need to read the article. It’s from Elsevier. It’s AI. It’ll be overpriced slop

There’s a scene in the movie Jesus of Montreal where they find an unconscious man and don’t know whether they should send him to an English or French hospital. They see he’s circumcised so take him to Jewish General
