Going through originals to bring to NYCC with me and I think these ones are still off the table. They're MINE!

Military academies are where the military trains its engineers, who have to take physics and chemistry. Who is going to teach chemistry there now? Just shutting all that down because the sec def doesn’t actually understand how the military works? #chemsky www.thebanner.com/education/hi...

This bums me out. The fun thing isn't absorbing as much new music as possible. The thing is talking to the record store people, going to the place, sifting through records. Looking at the album art. I don't want to outsource enjoying things.

You haven’t lived until you try to explain episode 6 of the the rehearsal to a man in his 80s who only speaks Spanish. Es una simulación, pero el está simulando lo que ya pasó. Y antes de que lo hizo, lo había simulado.

I bought an MS mouse, a sound card, learned DOS, and made a batch script menu system so that I could have enough memory to play Civ 1 with a mouse and sound on the Windows 3.1 machine my uncle gave us. And then my battle ship was killed by a fortified phalanx.

Elite universities mea culpas about the “loss of trust” in higher education so often fail to consider the force of the longterm propagandistic attack on universities, given extensive play in conservative media, that long preceded Trump, but which he has massively accelerated.

It’s amazing and the current president and provost hate it so much. They will not rest until it’s a consortium of trade schools

Im traveling today. As I was part of the poor people parade through first class, I wanted to start telling “you people don’t deserve this, you didn’t earn it, and you’ll never appreciate it! Not like me. I should be in your seat, sir! You have stolen my rightful place on first class!”

Markwayne Mullin looks terrible in the TSA video they play at JFK. Weird fitting suit and he just looks like he’s trying to catch his breath while talking.

I wonder if he ever played Einstein while telling him to stop worrying about causality and just focus on measurement. And then of course winning the match.

This is just nihilism. It doesn't matter if kids have math skills in future. Nothing except for number go up matters to these people. Even if the only reason they are rich is because people who has math skills actually helped build the foundation for them.

This is one of my favorite parts of N.K. Jemisin's The City We Became. The person who becomes the avatar of Manhattan is someone who literally just arrived in Manhattan, not a life long New Yorker. The person who becomes the avatar of Queens is an immigrant who came to queens for school.

It’s weird to watch a league of their own with my daughter and try to explain “you don’t understand, the actress that plays Mae was the biggest star in the world. It was crazy that she was even in a movie at all, especially this move. To her, she’s just one of the Rockford peaches.

Everyone should vote quartz! You need to tap into that feeling when you were a kid, you’d find some quartz and it would feel like you’d found a diamond.

Since the minerals, liquids, and gases are well protected from chemical alteration, #quartz inclusions open a window to the past that can help scientists reconstruct the chemical and physical conditions that existed when the rock formed.

This bubble is in liquid inside of a negative crystal which is in a quartz cabochon host. In other words, a two-phase inclusion that happens to be in a negative crystal. (Photos: Wimon Manorotkul)

The best action Bronson is when he gets really specific about a meal he had. e.g. Greek men, jump off the back of the boat for dinner Barehanded, snatch up a octopus, I'm a winner Grill it, hit it with olive oil and lemon Then kiss my fingers, efharisto that was delicious

My elder millennial sensibility is just fully allergic to the idea of putting my life on camera. I don’t even let students take out their phones to take pictures of the board in my lectures. Hence I hang out on this text based website.

I love how you can make a lentil soup with water, and if you add the right ingredients and seasoning it can be as rich tasting as beef consomé.

The new Generación Suicida record is SO GOOD! it reminds me of underground rock en español bands from the early 90s like Victimas (from Hermosillo), La Castañeda, or even early Caifanes. I love it! generacionsuicida.bandcamp.com/album/hombre...

This is such a cowardly, anti-intelectual stance to take. I wish that more university upper administrators were actually interested in working at a university.
