Stepped outside to first frost this morning (33 degrees!) and this is going to be my first crock pot chili weekend of the fall. October-November stretch remains undefeated.

Thanks!

I wonder how fast you'd be if you did an all-out 5K the day before your half in January. You probably are at your peak speed-wise! Not that knocking yourself out before 13.1 is smart, mind you.

Reverse speed run intervals today. Warmup jog 5:00 followed by:

1:00 at mile pace (9/10 effort)
0:30 walk recovery
3:00 5K pace (7/10)
1:30 walk recovery
5:00 10K pace (6/10)
3:00 walk recovery
7:00 recovery pace (4/10)

Down to single digits … 9 days until my first half. #hmtraining #runsky

Donald trump can still win the Nobel Peace prize if Mike Pence has the courage

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

So you sound insane responding to emotion-invoking lies with cold statements of fact in a world like this. I wish it weren’t so. But this is an attention game to get people to dig deeper than partisans who post lies knowing many won’t check. Have to stoke curiosity, and a chicken suit will do.

One of the standout things about Trump in power is how much of the government’s energy is repurposed to accept and amplify his distorted reality. He says something insane and people just know to run with it like Ministry Of Truth lackeys. No discussion of the emperor wearing no clothes.

Statements of fact to dispute gross lies would be enough in a perfect world, but it risks becoming the classic Onion headline “This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t.” Make the counterfactual so absurd people google it.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Oh yeah I mean I am posting this from my fourth beach home thanks to Greenwell and Eric Davis cards. 😂

Classic card

You didn’t collect baseball cards during the late ‘80s if you didn’t have a bunch of these and consider them a jewel of your binder.

Had so many Greenwell cards in the late ‘80s. For a hot minute there he was one of the best.

At an academic conference and the most common conversations I've had is stuff like, "How many faculty is your school trying to fire? Do you still have professional development funds? Do you still have an English department?" Fun times!

Perhaps it is a bad phrasing, but it still shows he doesn’t know the language of science, a language that is built on precise meaning specifically to avoid misunderstanding. And yet still feels confident he understands scientific research enough to tell us what to do. 🙃

Ah yes, creating proof to match your hypothesis. The time-honored method of science.

The funny thing about racist white people being mad about brown people doing Super Bowl Halftime Shows is the fact that halftime shows as we know them exist because of Black people.

In 1992, Fox aired a halftime episode of In Living Color, paving the way for the entertainment spectacle it is now.

Also that fastest race 5K was 10 years ago so I am reverse-aging.

5K run today and decided to put my speed/endurance training to the test rather than do slow pace. My fastest race 5K is 29:36. Today’s time was super encouraging; forgot to stop my watch but did 5K in 27:00. The training all summer is paying off.

10 days until my first half. #hmtraining #runsky

This is a passion area for me so I will read with that in mind. For the first time we have added public scholarship to our dept tenure guidelines and that is such a huge step. University-wide conversation is happening about the value of this work too.

I tried to write it real good for you!

I am so excited about this book!
