Woman boarding a plane wearing a cap that says “Make Orwell Fiction Again” getting lots of compliments on it

I guess I should just reply even though the address has the words “no-reply” in it 😡

He has children and met with Epstein and didn’t see any problems? People disgust me

I’m feeling so little patience as a reviewer. If I can’t respond to an auto email, include an email address that I can respond to. Otherwise you may never hear from me again.

Our hot water heater is broken and hubs has been “working on it” using AI for 3 hours. He has turned off all water to our house. I’m wondering how much longer this charade will last because I’d like to go to the bathroom

Nothing like a kid to put something in terms that we all understand and can’t deny

Maybe the invasion of Minnesota and the murder of Americans by their government was meant to distract us from the fact that the president is all over the Epstein files and has been accused of raping children.

A garden is a slow revolution.

Another BOOM

I would be friends with your cat bc I also love dogs so so so much

On another note, we have a 3D printer and Brendan never got it working and I’ve never tried and I feel sad about this, but not as sad as I feel about all the sh$t that is on fire right now

Is the semester over yet?

A recent true/false question in my intro class “humans and dinosaurs coexisted”

Seriously!!

Screen grab of an instagram post from the Louisiana SPCA. A baby mascot wearing a diaper and has an enormous baby head with wide open eyes, a creepy grin, and a crown is holding a shelter dog

And now for your bit of bizarre… every year at this time the Pelicans (NO NBA team) roles out this insane mascot- the king cake baby. This poor shelter dog was probably terrified

Doctor: Looks like you’re eating for two. Woman: I’m pregnant?! Doctor: Tapeworm. Woman: [looks at doctor with anger]

Stahp it.

Watching higher ed just completely fucking melt and smell like a plastic toy in the microwave as part of this epoch is on the one hand totally predictable viz historical patterns of fascism etc

and on the other keeps surprising me anew in ways I didn't know I had in me

It’s so hard to be happy lately but two of my former students met up and texted me a photo and my heart is warm.🥰

Signed up for something today and had to check a “career stage” button. The only thing above mid career was “senior leader in the field”. Can’t I just be a senior not leading anything?

Yes, all of this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It’s really bogging everyone down. It’s not sustainable and has to break at some point.

Three orthographic maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in December 2025, October 2025 to December 2025, and January 2025 to December 2025 in the Arctic region. Red shading is shown for warmer anomalies, and blue shading is shown for colder anomalies. Most areas are warmer than average. The mean temperature anomaly for each map is also displayed. Anomalies are calculated relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Maps of temperature departures averaged over the last month (left), 3 months (center), and 12 months (right) across the #Arctic...

Dear people of Minnesota,

Thank you for standing up for humanity, for the rule of law, for empathy and understanding. Thank you for resisting and persisting. Many of us in the US are grateful for all that you are doing.
