But seriously.
I need #NOLATwitter to step up. The annual tweetup is this Sunday. PLEASE HELP US. Ryne, Marielle and I do this to benefit NOWCS. But also to maintain community. We're tired. Please help.

#academicskye I have been awake for more than 24 hours and the next round of online tests is incoming. Had a fabulous family domestic. At least Christmas is settled. #IteachPhysics #nolasky #jellicleball

While I would prefer that it not happen at all, #nolasky I am extra resentful that they have returned to using the knockoff kids cereal name. At least "swamp sweep" had a modicum of dignity.

If y'all have a solid hygienist please do better.
We have a competition at work to try and get more google reviews. More points if you’re named specifically. My patient who I’ve seen for 4 years and has only seen me left a glowing review for her hygienist “Jackie”. JACKIE!?!?! We don’t even have a Jackie!

The Phoenix #nolasky started a children's toy drive last century and no Church would accept their gifts because of the GAY source. The scrappy little church with the murder wall is still taking donations from any source. #StAnnas

"Mirror, Mirror"....now where is the barrel of nails or the iron shoes and heated floor.
Musk has apparently manipulated Grok so much that it says he's a better athlete than LeBron James and a funnier comedian than Jerry Seinfeld.

Imagine being so insecure you need to program an LLM to boost you like that.

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

So grateful to these wonderful ppl for putting this together and thinking about our city's children experiencing homelessness! One of the missions of the shelter is to ease the trauma of homelessness by helping to provide a *feeling* of home and things like holiday celebrations are a big part of it
#nolasky join @amandasoprano.bsky.social @nolachick.bsky.social and yours truly on December 7th for the annual Christmas party @ 12 Mile Limit. This will be year ten for my annual toy drive. RT and spread the word.

#iteachphysics. Just got home from the Louisiana Space Grant annual meeting. The loss of OSTEM will hurt us so much. The incredible interdisciplinary research and experience presented at this tiny conference was absolutely incredible. We had 135 attendees and 56 student poster presentations.

Google tells me Sabrina Shroff has been a federal defender for 18 years so I'm gonna go with 'she totally intended the pun but will never admit it." 😆
Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Sometimes I believe that we will get through this for something better because we are yearning to take care of each other.

What? Family is made.
i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

I’m not normally one to do this, but my son just received the results for his Masters Degree & he’s earned a distinction 😃 His course supervisor has now invited him to join his research team & he’ll begin work on his PhD in March.

And he achieved this while having autism.

So, up yours RFK Jr 🖕🖕
