It’s so cute when gmail lets me know I have “99+” unopened emails in the app banner. My sweet child. There are over 9000 unopened emails and I will never open them.

If your underwear gives you a wedgie completely on its own, that means you have agentic underwear.

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

Quick question: is higher education a) a Rube Goldberg machine for sorting humans into a class structure b) an upskilling program for future job havers c) a way to armor a person’s mind & soul for an unpredictable/volatile world d) a adult daycare that funds research e) something else?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Feeling nostalgic for that brief moment in my life when I thought everyone around me might die from a once in a century plague, and I reacted by asking strangers to risk their lives to bring meatballs to my house in the middle of the night. I would also wipe my groceries with a bleach solution.

#onthisday in 1820, the Essex whaling ship was sunk by a sperm whale 2,000 miles from land. The story inspired Melville; Nathaniel Philbrick's prize winning non-fiction account, In the Heart of the Sea, was adapted by Ron Howard 10 years ago. Below, a news account. #booksky #writers #moviesky

Lithograph illustration of ship being rammed by a whale. Text below is "THE ESSEX STRUCK BY A WHALE." "She dashed her head against the ship's side and so broke it in that the vessel filled rapidly."

My buddy forgot his backpack and we had to double back a few miles. I wish I was the Dad who just said: “Mistakes happen. Try not to make it a habit, bud.” Instead I am the Dad who says “[5 min of uncomfortable silence]…Mistakes happen. Try not to make it a habit, bud.”

Overall effect was pretty small (Hedges g = .09); the moderators suggest the effect was present only in optimal conditions. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

A bright red glow reaches up into the darkness, illuminating the silhouettes of tall slightly scraggly, spruce trees

Swirls of green and red light sweep down from the sky, lighting up the forest and contrasting against the Stark silhouettes of trees

Dramatic swirls of green and red light swirl down from the middle of the sky, starkly contrasting against the bear of Poplar, tall Spruce trees.

Still more dramatic curtains of light sweep down from above in sheets of green and red. The tall bear poplars and spruce spires our starkly silhouetted.

Sometimes my #data work is very complex. Today, however, was an easy one. All I needed was: 1. My BI tool of choice #Tableau 2. A list of comma separated values 3. A few vlookups 4. And the restraint to not throw myself off a bridge
