I spend a lot of time thinking about teachers and their students, so I feel like publicly saying that HS math teacher Bob Erdman and CWRU astro professor Dr. Heather Morrison (the GOAT) changed my life for the better. Who changed yours?

What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

I never, ever want to hear about “flyover country” or “what’s in Minnesota?” ever again. That is NPC behavior to me.
This is my fucking state. And this isn’t even the folks who are still watching out from their neighbors, from home.

Hot take: if Carlos Beltrán belongs in the HOF, so does Barry Bonds.
Both were unrepentant cheaters who had already piled up HOF credentials before they became unrepentant cheaters, Bonds more so.

I have 2 of these in my classroom and I highly encourage you to do the same so you too can demand that students make "volcano sounds" every time they take a tissue
Surprise! I’ve just listed several of my 3D-printed volcano tissue box covers in my Etsy store. The volcanoes are scaled models derived from open source lidar, radar and photogrammetry. On the menu this week is Olympus Mons, Erebus, Etna, Lawetlat’la and more!

But let's turn that around: Anyone who wants to call what they are doing "AI" should be accountable for making clear why their product (or research) isn't in fact slop. That's on them. The rest of us do not need to hold space for that.

The mission to make all of us distrust any health science we come across is thriving
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease.
There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done."

At our school Ss can choose chem or forensics as their 3rd year science. I’ve long advocated for a stronger push for chem as the ratio has become 1:3 with as many as six sections of forensics in a year.
This has been my first year of teaching forensics and I’ll admit, I’m having a blast. BUT 1/8
