The latest #aaba2026 meeting was the best yet! I have so many highlights, from the art expo and silent auction to the education committee workshop and course seeing the fascinating talks and posters. I’m so glad my 3D prints were so well received.

What a wonderful discussion about the science of who we are! Thank you so much for this opportunity to talk with so many thinkers.

Thanks AT&T. I wonder what Spectrum is like.

Disney ban, meet Target ban. It’s too bad I won’t be enjoying the Fantastic Four home release, but I want to live in a functional society instead of just seeing one on screen.

Took 20 minutes to park on campus and I need another 5 in the car to chill the f out

We recently paid people to unfollow the most divisive accounts on X. After a month, they felt 23% less animosity towards other political groups Their experience was so positive that half declined to refollow those hostile accounts after the study and they felt less animosity 11 months later.

I learned about the new Pope through the new Mexican radio station in San Diego. “Why are they talking about a new potato?”

I got brake checked and the most insulting part was that they didn’t get anywhere as close to me as we got to each other in our simultaneous lane change.

Losing the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) would be an act of monumental neglect. I made a video about what’s at risk, and how orgs like @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social and the American Alliance of Museums need us to help advocate for these critical places. youtu.be/fYLC-KWy-Ks?...

I went to Target for the first time in months. Don't worry: I didn't buy anything. I just flipped off the things I used to buy.

Best accomplishment last week: got elected undergraduate advisor. This week: beat my class in a game of Kahoot.
