I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Counterpoint, from Mad Magazine.

It took me 8-plus years to complete my PhD, in a program that averaged 4 to 5 years. For years I had a recurring dream where I was still in the program, thinking how to even start my thesis, while hiding from all the professors so that they wouldn’t realize I was still there and kick me out.

If a teacher really thinks something can be gained by doing this, he or she should locate willing professors on their own (without harassing random professors) and then connect their students with them. If the teacher can’t find willing professors, they shouldn’t ask their students to do so.

When the Mets going going through one of their horrible periods when I was growing up, I’d feel a certain smugness when another team slaughtered them by 9-2. I’d think, they fell into the trap and wasted runs from their yearly allotment of runs—they would regret wasting all those runs in September.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.
