No disrespect to therapy and SSRIs and gratitude journaling and all the rest, but has anyone ever studied the mental health benefits of a power washer? Because I'm genuinely so happy right now
Is there a dessert that is not improved by a little finishing salt? Is there a baking experience that is not improved by a Mortal Kombat reference when you add said salt?
Finish Him

It's exam week and some sort of alarm has been going off in our building's telecom room for DAYS. I'm supposed to be assessing their knowledge of epidemiology, but it's devolving into an immersive lesson on "The Tell-tale Heart"
"You now have access to AI in Google Slides" neat. now every student research presentation can look like a sales pitch deck
The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.
America continues to speedrun the Enlightenment in reverse
Dan Garisto@dangaristo.bsky.social · 3mo agoBreaking: Trump has fired the membership of the National Science Board, which is oversees NSF. I have confirmed separately with multiple now-former members of NSB.
All I'm saying is we should be able to find people who aren't rapists or sex pests or don't have Nazi tattoos to represent us in Congress I do not think I'm asking for the world here
This is not peer review. And if anyone suggested that ChatGPT et al are my peers, I'd be very tempted to kick them in the teeth.
Jack Wilkinson@jdwilko.bsky.social · 4mo agoResponding to an AI peer review is so disheartening.

I am aware of the gravity and importance of the eleventeen different global crises of our own making. I am also aware that today is Rex Manning Day. I'll probably still dwell. But, like, a little less.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal
Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment
Typical April... got a full day of meetings and class, followed by a celebration of our outstanding graduates. And then I get to head home to see whether or not we do a genocide. Busy day.
Found the (hot pink sequin) elbow patches I bought for myself when I was awarded tenure in the craft bin. Thinking it's about time I actually attach them to something...
The professional societies of which I am a part should consider hosting their annual convention in Costa Rica… so I can learn about the research happening in the field… and share my recent work… and for no other reasons, of course…
This is really the only April Fools content I will accept. The world is bananas, the government has abandoned any commitment to logic, and AI fakes get more sophisticated every day. But suggesting that dogs were somehow not good... haha... nice try. You can't fool me that easily

The Undergraduate Research Symposium is always one of my favorite days on campus. The art & design student projects make for slightly better photos, but my student's work on food insecurity among older cancer survivors was riveting.
I love that libraries are welcoming and inclusive places for everyone. But I also think this man next to me with the ranch dressing should be perma-banned.
🧵 Trump posted a video depicting the Obamas as apes. He deleted it. A handful of Republicans objected. Most said nothing. Nothing changed. My most recent column isn’t about shock. It’s about consequences.
Trump's Racism Carries No Consequences—And That's Scary
Opinion: Trump’s attacks on the Obamas reveal what happens when open bigotry no longer disqualifies a president—and how that shift could endanger civil-rights protections.

Watched the Top Model documentary this weekend. Thought it would speak for itself and that we could all just reflect on some garbage cultural norms from the early 2000s. This morning IG served me 3 different reels of people dragging Tyra Banks' hot ice cream shop. Excellent post credits scene.
I love it when my timeline works like this. Too much alt text, but image is a post from @altcdc.altgov.info lamenting withdrawing from the WHO to save money only to spend 3x as much recreating it... immediately followed by a post from @effinbirds.com that says "what the fuck is wrong with people?"
“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!
Lol. I reported my mandatory assigned IT training as phishing because IT didn't follow their own advice.
