It often is when I do it!

Reading Statistical Rethinking by @rmcelreath.bsky.social and “If you are confused, it is only because you are trying to understand” is such a great line that I am definitely going to have to quote it when I’m teaching.

it's not uncommon for countries to retain a vestigial Iowa long after the need for it has passed, but at some point you have to stop making excuses

I agree, I am a one issue voter and that issue is to abolish Iowa

Ditto the bogan across the street with their insanely loud hot rod. Come to think of it, in both cases they're basically saying "this is my territory, either mate with me or shove off". 'Tis the season, I guess.

I really love Australian birds and frequently expound on how great they are but this morning I am trying to do some very quiet foley work for a video game and I really just wish they would shut their goddamn chirpholes about how great it is that spring is here

Higher ed leaders are doing "decline of public trust" discourse in order to avoid talking about all the things they've done to undermine their institutions, including exploiting contingent faculty labor, attacking student protest, and underfunding the humanities

As a zoology student I did indeed take an engineering class. My uni also required students in every major to take several history classes. It's quite common for American unis to require some baseline level of math, science, and history courses along with basic English comp.

looking for help interpreting my cardiac scan results and according to this doctor's website I'm not sure whether I'm more worried about my hagthoy or my healtineo amavita.health/blog/underst...

A clearly generative AI picture of a heart suspended above a doctor's table with a stethoscope sort of growing out of it, along with (for some reason) a few tree branches. Parts of the heart are labelled Peisure, Healtineo, Cuajoy, Furncliest, Hagthoy, Weijlock, and Visite.

only sorta related but this brought back a weirdly vivid memory of seeing some TV show in like 2000 that said "brought to you in part by Colgate" with a URL afterwards and I said out loud "why in the fuck does toothpaste need a website" and now a quarter of a century later I still don't know

Just remembering 2021 when I mentioned that we declined a couple of faculty positions in the USA and some knob on Twitter was like "oh god you have made a huge mistake, see if it's not too late to take them up on it". Not saying I'd never go back but really glad to be elsewhere for now.
