i have the best news, everyone. Chancleta has won every single election tonight, with approximately 99.8% of the vote. it gets better: you all did such a great job for him that he's decided any more elections in the future would only be pale imitations. so we're not going to have those anymore!
Not me yelling at ableist faculty on LinkedIn who think technology “disables” student learning.
This is just to say I am driving the bus that will go to Harvard and which you were probably thinking was on time Forgive me traffic was so slow and so jammed
Where is the bus, doo-doo-doo Where is the bus MBTA: "10 mins late"
So glad the education department is working hard to support intellectual growth.

Don't ever ask me if I've watched something. I have never watched anything. I am not even looking at you right now. My eyes are painted on the backs of my eyelids and I have been asleep this whole time.
I DIDN’T ASK FOR TRUTH IN SORROWSCOPES OKAY

One of the things I love most about the movie Sinister is that Ethan Hawke’s character has to google how to splice film after the projector burns a hole in the super 8 reel.
I can suspend my disbelief while watching film in most respects except for when people use microfilm to look at old newspapers AND QUICKLY LAND ON THE EXACT PAGE THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. Without slowly scrolling through countless pages, without having to nudge the image or adjust the contrast.
When I left Dean, we had just created a major in Content Creation and Social Media Influencing. It’s just comm plus marketing, with a title that will draw in students.
I’m with the boomers on this one. Burn it all down

I made 2 (TWO!!!) healthcare-related phone calls today! And I didn’t even cry from anxiety like I usually do!

The only good-faith concerns about trans women in sports I’m willing to hear are: 1) Are trans women in sports doing an adequate warmup routine to avoid injury? 2) Are trans women in sports staying hydrated? 3) Are trans women in sports getting to wear cute outfits at practice and/or competition?
i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice
Just to put a little underlining on it, when you donate to support Skype a scientist or buy a shirt or advent calendar on squidfacts.net, you’re supporting programming like this that connects people with nature in the city. I do these events as suggested donations. Some nights break even, some don’t
When democracy is functional, everyone’s right to refuse to testify is held as sacred instead of a secret indicator of guilt or innocence.
When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth. Feel free to share.
okay to be fair to those ruffled by wilson's take - i get that we really don't like it when someone dislikes something we like. but as someone who thinks the matrix reloaded is the best film in the franchise i am inured to this particular pain
We only rate dogs. This is a bed bug. She's very cute, and we actually wouldn't mind an infestation of this particular bed bug. But please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (TT: lekik25)
What a joy, what an absolute PRIVILEGE to walk an extra 3 blocks because the bus driver simply did not stop at my stop, despite me yelling “STOP PLEASE.”

One day I’m going to write a memoir about the insane shit that happens in higher ed. For now I’m just happy to have a job where parents of 18-year-olds don’t complain to my dean about my social media posts.
No but their kids are special babies, and they will email the professor to make sure they know how much they actually deserve an A. 🙃

Every commentator saying too many kids go to university has to tell their own kid to not do a degree
We destroyed Irans military then had to go back to fighting the non existent military but had to stop because we were using too many expensive missiles attacking the not-military because we weren’t flying over the country with no military because their non military was still a threat to our planes.
All I’m saying is that cis white men should only be allowed to direct 2 major movies. After that they have to fuck off back to wherever to sit on the pile of cash they made before their brains rot. Everyone else gets unlimited directorships.
