I quit my job and I'm co-writing a graphic novel about astronomy, but life is short, so I'm also launching a web site about opera. Here I'll gradually be posting introductory guides to different operas, aimed at "regular people" who are curious and fun. If that's you, check out MusicDrama.net!

The Last Fifteen Minutes is a marionette opera and short film about neighbors choosing to have dinner together fifteen minutes before a giant kaiju eats them. This is a project I'm so excited to make happen, and I hope you will be part of on this journey! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

I don’t post a ton, but as someone who used to teach undergraduates full-time, I have some thoughts on LLMs and cheating given the recent NY mag piece and this feels like a reasonable place to do some rambling.

Ladies and gentleman and vastly more interesting genders: we got him. We finally caught Schrodinger's cat.

It's a sliding glass door in a kitchen and on one side there's an empty box but it is lying on its side so that it's open. Face is tipped over. Then outside there is a cat sitting outdoors, looking inside, but the way the picture is composed the reflection of the box superimposes on the cat. So in one of the reflections it looks like the cat is in the box and the other box is empty

"childless woman" is such a 19th-century-ass insult. what else you got. do I render inferior tallow? do my cabbages grow pale and blemished? does the quality of my sock-darning bring shame upon my father's name?

a common debate that happens every pride is whether cops should be allowed at pride events. and I know this might be controversial, but I want to propose a compromise: One Cop At Pride

They beat up Dartmouth's former chair of Jewish Studies and banned her from campus. To protect the Jews, you see.

Jeff Sharlet: Dartmouth calls in riot cops to forbily arrest my colleague and friend Annelise Orleck, knocking her to the ground

Annelise Orleck: Those cops were brtual to me. I promise i did absolutely nothign wrong. I was standing with aline of women faculty in their 60s to 80s trying to protect our students. I have no been banned from the campus where I have taught for 34 years.

Hot tip for hiking in Scotland: carry an armful of bats at all times and release slowly as needed to devour the midges. Watch your tiny enemies die and laugh.

I’m horror movies I always scoff at the foolish teens who ignore the dire warnings from the mysterious stranger. And YET I failed to head the old Scottish man who insisted that hiking in shorts would lead to ruin, and several hours later I was punishingly swarmed by midges.
