All it takes is loving one person with an intellectual disability, or one person who themselves loves a person like that in their life, for you to stop saying that word. We grew up with it in the 80s. And I stopped using it when I saw I'd hurt someone I cared about. Everyone can and should.

But to be positive: once they get old enough to get up off the floor, and stop putting every known object to humankind in their mouth, and wash their hands after the bathroom, then things do get a lot better on the “illness rotating around household members indefinitely” front. 💪

Our first kid was born 21 yrs ago and we have 4 more years until the second finishes high school so yeah after a 1/4 century of this one accepts ok this is just how it is for a while.

Currently sick also - checked calendar - ah yes 2 weeks into kid’s school. But don’t worry this gets much less frequent when they graduate high school

I have a piece in today's @bangordailynews.bsky.social where I argue that we need to defend the broader goals of higher ed: developing engaged and worldly citizens who know how to think critically and are prepared for democratic self-government. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/09/24/o...

Opinion: Higher education is about much more than career preparation

“Post-secondary education has always been about creating an educated citizenry to benefit individuals and the nation as a whole.”

The university press's job is to get the university in the press. As a researcher, your job is to push back, push back, push back on anything they write about your work that isn't completely scientifically accurate.

The Sony Walkman's appearance on the scene meant beaucoup cassettes for small Paul; allowance came in, allowance went out, usually at A&B Sound downtown Vancouver. Then CDs appeared and A&B was where we went to hang out after school and on the weekends. Their Boxing day sale was absolutely legendary

The only other non-classical music record we had in the house was Billy Joel's 52nd Street, and I also played the hell out of that record. My Life, Big Shot, Honesty, Moving' Out, etc, struck a chord with this former 9 year old.

someone gave my parents this record (yes vinyl) for christmas 1981 and it (& the 2-record soundtrack to The Empire Strikes Back) was all that I was allowed to play on my dad's hifi system, (his extensive classical music collection was out of bounds) #music #nowplaying music.apple.com/ca/album/gho...

One important distinction to keep in mind is that in science and in grad school we are not in the business of selling software products, we are in the business of advancing our human understanding. These create very different incentive structures. Racing to ship product is not what we are here for.

I don't mean this to be a dig against agentic coding—for me personally it is an amazing advance. But I am relatively expert already and my debt per token is smaller. Agentic coding is fantastic but we have to be very careful about its place in science and especially in graduate training.

Paul Gribble 🇨🇦 @gribblelab.org · 17/09/2026

The more skills and experience you have the smaller the debt but if you are a novice coder and/or not a domain expert then sure it can be a boost to get things going but ultimately you have to spend the time/effort.

Paul Gribble 🇨🇦 @gribblelab.org · 17/09/2026

when you use AI to write code you put yourself in cognitive debt ; at some point you will have to spend the time and effort to understand the code, if you are ever to use it for anything you put your name on. May feel like a shortcut but really it’s only the beginning of your work it’s not the end

New preprint! In this study, the fantastic Apoorva Sharma demonstrates that the amount of time that passes during motor preparation can "tag" for retrieval otherwise competing motor memories. Modeling work links these fx to putative temporal basis sets in the cerebellar cortex. Feedback welcome!
