My sister's 80yo apartment neighbor came out to my nephew's game for a little bit and he was so excited 🥹

After a week of perfect weather, my nephew has a baseball game tonight. So of course it's disgustingly humid again 😮‍💨

Devastated for the Fort Hays community about the closure of the Sternberg Museum of Natural History, and this letter from the univ president makes clear how dramatic reductions in state funding leave universities with no good options viable long-term. www.fhsu.edu/news/2026/09...

I need to share a difficult decision with you, and I want to be transparent about how we arrived here, what it means, and who ultimately holds the power to change the path we are on.

Look I called the Gators game too when Vegas kept being bullish about it, but I was mostly joking. I don't understand this score. What did Vegas know lol?

Accidentally got about 8 meals worth of "shrimp fried rice" (fried rice with 6 shrimp on top lol) stopping for late lunch in Decatur and I have no idea if it will still be ok to eat when I get to Bham in 2.75 hours 😂

Through Atlanta there are signs on the interstate prohibiting "trucks with >6 wheels" from using the left lane. I was like "interesting, I wonder how many wheels 18-wheelers have" and I was halfway through counting them on one truck before it dawned on me

Didn't realize until my friend sent me her address last night that I'd be driving across the entire state of Georgia to give this talk in Augusta, but here we are In South Carolina (barely) 😂

Texas A&M dropping 14 spots after that loss is the second-funniest thing I have ever seen in CFB (the first-funniest thing, obviously, being NC State's newly discovered Dumb Way to Die)

I think we can all agree on the real winner of the day

About to switch back to the Kentucky game 🫩

lol my sister just called me on the telephone, angry. "I planned my whole day around this kickoff" and we get a lightning delay.

I put my 9yo Walmart particle board coffee table (in great condition, considering) on the curb and posted it in the neighborhood FB group. Went to take a shower. 10 mins later it was already gone 😂 This is so much easier than Goodwill lol

BTW if your parents are aging, I highly recommend recording or writing down their stories and memories now. You’ll want it later. Many years ago my mom and her sisters had my Grandmother sit in the kitchen while they cooked so they could create written notes of family recipes that were in her head.

Talked to a couple of genomics company reps at work today. Asked where I did grad school. I said LSU. Response: "Oh yeah, Shreveport!" 🫩

I swear if the UA Alumni Assn doesn't stop calling me every 3 days I'm going to block this number. You already have my updated contact info. No I'm not donating & frankly I don't want to make a student volunteer feel bad by declining all of their (many) scripted pitches. You're being too aggressive.

I hate Texas too but that was beautiful

Switched to the LSU game because for some reason it's still competitive at half

Honestly inspiring how all of CFB Twitter has come together against this one guy who's incessantly whistling

About to flip away from Texas-OSU because some idiot near the mics won't stop whistling

Went with my sister & nephew to Fossil Fest at the Univ Alabama Museum of Natural History and he loved it! He really wanted fossil teeth, but he asked tons of great Qs & was so interested. Tables included UA Geology, Miss. Museum of Nat Sci, Auburn Museum of Nat Hist, Ole Miss Geosciences, others

Y'all will just have to believe me but I was driving to Tuscaloosa earlier and someone had vandalized the big Coach Tubberville for Gov sign on the interstate with a marker so it said ROACH TUBBERVILLE and I hollerrrred. No pics bc they'd already fixed it when I drove back a few hrs later

My nephew can't spell but he voice-searched youtube for "LSU versus Clemson" but it came out more like "Clampson" because his dad's family is country, and then he saw the final score and said "Yeah I'm not watching the rest of that"

Cathy Newman ⚜️🐘 @cenewman0.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Gonna go drive through downtown both ways solely to see if this is real

ULM @ UAB could be interesting too. I was planning to go to this one but (1) Weather and (2) Museum with my nephew. Should be able to catch the second half on tv.

Went to Spectrum yesterday to cancel service & was told I had to call bc my acct was "bulk" (thru my apartment complex). Heard horror stories on reddit about having to argue with Retention. Called today, 10 mins later was done. "Enjoy your new place & hope we can have you again in the future" 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol
