Jeffrey M @jeffreymphd.bsky.social · 03/10/2026NP has some charm here and there. But yeah, Mineral Springs and the land of infinite gas stations undermines much of it. I'm glad I live on the Prov. side of the border. It's unbalanced. Shore's Market is awesome, but there should be other grocery options along MS. 010

Jeffrey M @jeffreymphd.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think that one of the coolest things about librarians is that after 9/11 when the government started demanding patron records, many librarians simply stopped recording your book history. It's like evading a charging bull by just taking a step to the side. 030

Natural selection would necessarily follow. 🌱🐋🧪#HistSTM #philsci 📈📉#evolbio 1259

Reposted by Jeffrey MKenny Smith @kennysmith.org · 28/09/2026Colleges need to teach people to read books, apparently. I enjoy helping people grow and realize their dreams and take their next steps. That obviously means “meeting them where they are,” a mantra now said so often as to be bordering on the cliché. But how we let it come to this is disconcerting. 031

Jeffrey M @jeffreymphd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Yes, that would be helpful. I've got plenty from elmhurst and downtown. A street address would be helpful once you've got them, too (no need to share that on the internet, of course!) 100
Jeffrey M @jeffreymphd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Yup - and @mazdausa.bsky.social nailed it. The screen in my generation is small and sits high on the dash in my line of sight. It's operated by a joystick so there is tactile feedback. And most controls have buttons and switches. But the new version is a tesla wannabe. 120
Jeffrey M @jeffreymphd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The @mazdausa.bsky.social reddit forums hate that a new model has only a touch screen. After the company boasted for years that tactile switches are safer and have a more premium feel. OFC now the company claims that everything on a single screen is safer and more premium.🙃 150
