I am not a fan of the new Outlook update. The uploading a document is clunkier and making meetings takes more clicks.

Dear Admissions Committee,
If only I could hand over the keys to my lab to them. I am sure they will achieve tenure before even taking their qualifying exam. My recent grant is based on their drunken doodle.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

People showed us who they really were yesterday dressing up like a nazi, in blackface, and other nonsense. The consequences of those actions will catch up to you. When you have your teary eyed apology, we’ll know it is not because you feel bad about what you did, but because of what you lost.

May we all have the same courage and fortune of Duke going for and making the two point conversion on the road to beat Clemson.

This is crazy! Imagine making a “smart” bed that only operated over internet connection (with no manual controls) and you got stuck sitting up and hot because of an amazon web service outage. What a time to be alive. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...
