Today is the fall meeting for the Chesapeake Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers @aapthq.bsky.social! We are being hosted by @wm.edu in Williamsburg, VA. William and Mary is the nation's second-oldest university, but the Integrated Science Center facilities are shiny and new!

When there is no substance but you're going to market it with gold leaf anyway.

Me, every day, reading about this administration and/or their pals in Congress or SCOTUS. Sure, today it's Katie Britt and Eric Schmitt, but it's the same reaction from me every single day.

The ads continue trying to sell me what I already bought instead of what I might be thinking of. This is a metric by which computers are constantly getting outperformed by guys with oily smiles in brick-and-mortar stores.

“I don’t agree with that premise. Or… do you think that me disagreeing with you makes me an asshole? That’d be good to know now, really.”

Me with my safety goggles when it's time to teach a lab class:

"Kid with Goggles" from the movie The Christmas Story.

You know, that kid who Ralphie and Randy are in line behind, when they are waiting to see Santa, and the kid says "I like The Wizard of Oz. I like the Tin Man." That kid.

What if the Triumphal Arch could be something actually useful like a GIANT MECH to combat the Kaiju? Of course hold the gold leaf and don't put anybody's name on it. Also might need to move it from Arlington to idk Fort Monroe or something.

Not impressed with the big touchscreens and driver-assist features on most new cars. Thinking of just getting a red barchetta.

Look, I'm not here to make fun of anybody's advanced degrees. As such, I resent that he's put me in this position.

Can we get a list of people in this administration who are in their 40s?

That slogan also tells us that it is possible to make the afterlife better. And improvable heaven is just not one I was taught about growing up.

A 1% sales tax for school construction and renovation projects? Say no more, I support public schools.

They would prorate the salary and nobody can take that hit.

I would buy this shirt from this one candidate but I don't want a bajillion texts and calls afterwards.

Hey did nanotechnology cause us all to become grey goo yet? Is the entire planet dead from that?

You were at our department meeting??

You can get the tests from previous years. That is an official AP exam (the wording in the post) and schools definitely do use those to show students whether they are capable of a 5.

The sound of electric is a lot better. It's that continuous gas engine roar that drives me nuts.

The veterinarian agrees with the humane society, this is NOT a puppy. LMAO 2 years old, so this is fully grown for him. Our new family member, Otis, looks like a pup, an ai pup even. 21 Jump Street dog in the house.

Small dog, looks a lot like a Golden Retriever puppy.

Share it every time Ross Douthat publishes his thoughts! The trick is to mean it. Don't read what you already know is not worth your time.

I am now my departmental rep on the college's Committee to Reduce the Number of Meetings (CRaNiuM). Unfortunately we are working counter to the larger university's Committee to Reduce the Actual Length of Meetings (CRAM). Neither are making good progress.

It's been TWO LONG AND STUPID YEARS since we all learned that RFK Jr. once grabbed a roadkill bear cub and drove around with it in his car trunk with the intention of eating it, before eventually dumping it on top of a bike, under a bush, in Central Park, NYC.

I think your point might make sense if the divergence of definition had happened decades ago. But the Right didn't really even use this term until they tried to weaponize it during the first Trump administration. Bouie if absolutely right to say that he wants to start by clarifying what it means.

Charlottesville is whatever the Charlottesvillains need it to be at any given moment. A place literally everybody knows and loves? C-Ville. Also, best kept secret? C-Ville. A very small, quaint little town in Virginia? C-Ville. A genuine city with fine dining and great urban culture? C-Ville.

DJT left out every POTUS from his own lifetime except for LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden. He just completely skipped Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush, despite living through their presidencies.

Jason Sterlace @sterlace.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I don't see either Bush, nor Reagan, Ford, Nixon, JFK, Ike, Truman, Garfield, or William Henry Harrisons. What a dipshit.

Jason Sterlace @sterlace.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Why are most of the ones from his own lifetime just missing?

If you call it "Lake America" in front of me, you might get thrown into Lake Ontario.

There are a lot of folks replying that they never went to Starbucks, or stopped going a long time ago, and we should note that does not help the unionized employees of Starbucks. What helps them is current repeat customers boycotting at this time, for this stated reason.

Look, when I say "ai bad", I know I am making a rhetorical shortcut. Computer programs are tools, and tools are not inherently good or evil, but we certainly can note that the implementation outpaces any thoughts of morality. Is that an L? In a vacuum, sure, that's an L. OK. Got me. Now what?
