iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I am stunned when I see leaders who lack humility. I think of this Teddy Roosevelt quote daily: "As soon as any man has ceased to be able to learn, his usefulness as a teacher is at an end. When he himself can’t learn, he has reached the stage where other people can’t learn from him."

Now we have fewer worries over who pitches the 9th? 🫠

Oh, no, why do I feel like this means we're getting a clip show, a la writer's strike?

I think I pressed “buy” and the losing streak started. And she’s 83, so she’ll power through to get the most from her $100.

When I helped my mom buy the TV package for the Royals games, I should have realized that would likely doom the season.

You're aiming too low. Why not through Monday evening? :-)

I so miss Royals Twitter of that era. (And many other things *gestures broadly*)

While there are many problems with the system, "I knew what I was doing and just don't want to pay $60/month because I don't like how it makes me feel" is not one of them.

I'm sorry. I wish that person would find something more productive to do with their time.

I’d love to see them use the ABS system, too!

Watch this clip. Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

Me, too. There is an IHL FB group that has been a flood of teenage memories.

The America I love is the one that welcomes Arthur Liu - a refugee from communist oppression - and his daughter becomes an Olympic gold medalist! I don't love the America that excludes people like him, or deports them back to their oppressors, as right now with many Cubans, Venezuelans, and others.

I did not realize that the Oregon Trail game from elementary school was meant to aspirational.

Can’t say I’ve seen a department with a dean. Perhaps it was someone *named* Dean? 🤷‍♂️

12 former commissioners of the FDA came together to write a Perspectives piece for the New England Journal of Medicine; raising our concerns about recent changes to vaccine approval policy at the FDA and its implications for patients and public health.

That place is a haven for dad jokes, and that is no shade. It’s the source of inspiration for most of the dad jokes I use against, I mean *for* my niece!
