At the restored Michigan Central Station.

I'm rewatching The Golden Girls again and realizing that I didn't make enough "Shady Pines" jokes during the year my dad lived with me. Maybe I'll get out the ouija board this weekend and make up for it.

Why does CIHR's researchnet platform send a verification code every single time I log in? What are they trying to protect me from? "Oh no, someone logged in and worked on my project grant application, that's terrible."

2025 was a busy year for MediaSmarts! We reached more educators, families and young people with research, resources, workshops and national initiatives to build digital media literacy across Canada. See more in our 2025 Annual Report: https://ow.ly/cpbL50ZtY0H

. @trantteam.bsky.social giving me feedback on how I could play gin better when I beat him in every game we played tonight is all you need to know about why I dunk on him so relentlessly here.

The spectators at my run this morning didn't seem too focused on cheering.

Watching undergrads panic in the uWindsor subreddit because they've got @trantteam.bsky.social for organic chemistry is the gift that keeps giving.

I'm begging everyone doing thinkpieces about early 2000s diet culture to leave Bridget Jones out of it. That was intended to be satire and it is made very, very clear in the book.

"Canada-wide nocturnal bird sound migration tracker takes flight." There's an article about our Motus Audio project, and Natalie and Madison's cross-country research expedition, on CBC.ca! Read it here: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social @birdscanada.bsky.social

When I heard the first draft of this rant, the word "god" was used repeatedly and it concluded with the pronouncement "Eventually yoid have to fire God for the good of the team and you can't fire God."

At some point we would have needed to fire him over the powerplay; and that would have really, really hurt-never make your legends employees with responsibilities that will lead them to being terminated at some point-or worse, not. See: Yzerman, Steve. Good for Alfie. Wish it wasn't the Leafs.

My 80 something neighbour just told us about how her mother had to flee Yugoslavia from the nazis in an actual wagon with 3 kids in tow so I guess @trantteam.bsky.social and I won't be complaining about our petty little grievances foe the rest of the week.

can't stop laughing at this Poilievre: "We will reinstill a warrior culture, not a woke culture."

The fastest thing in the world is the speed of light. The second fastest thing is a 4 year old with a marker.

There's real math and then there's grant math.

Why is my DSM always in my other office? If I'm at home, it's at work. If I'm at work, it is somehow, mysteriously, at home.

The more @trantteam.bsky.social and I watch Bluey, the more we become consumed by the little mysteries of the show. For example, what does uncle Stripe do for a living? He has a house with a pool, an expensive caravan for camping, a new car in season 2 that comes with a mini car for Muffin??

Back to work today. Time to find out how much my mice have been playing instead of working on their dissertations.

Would love to know who is currently doing work on intergenerational friendships, particularly using dyadic methods!

New twist on iconic Empire Strikes Back scene just dropped Me: I love you. 4-year-old: Okay.

In Tobermory, we were eating on a patio when I misheard a server offer to get a group of older ladies a "line" instead of a "lime" (for their coronas). I shared this funny misunderstanding with the server, and he did then offer to get me some cocaine.

Hear me out...what if we put Saul Tigh in charge? Yes he's an alcoholic and yes he's a Cylon and yes he declared martial law that one time but would he really be worse than all this?

. @trantteam.bsky.social and I are rewatching Batlestar Galactica. I'm blown away by how good that show was.

Home repairs are rough because it's $2,300 and 3 strange guys are going in and out of my house all day making noise and the dog is losing his mind but the net result is my kitchen sink won't back up 4 months from now after Thanksgiving. Someone set an alert to remind me why this was a good choice.

Happy Father's Day to @trantteam.bsky.social, who will be shocked that I managed to post something unsnarky about him here.

When two over-packers marry and reproduce, the problem doesn't double, it becomes exponential. All I can say is at least we didn't bring any kitchen appliances on THIS trip.

Conferences are fun because it's unexpected encounters with a whole bunch of people with whom you have unresolved emotional baggage with lectures in between.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Could the next chemist who seed @trantteam.bsky.social at #CSC2026 please tell him to stop butt dialing me?

My brother-in-law once said that you could either run a race to win it or run it while wearing a funny hat. As I prepare my tenure package, it seems pretty clear which route I've taken.
