I'm curious, how many of you have been involved in a shipwreck or boating accident, cruise ship or ferry emergency, or other maritime related incident? I'm thinking of doing an episode or maybe series of personal stories. I would love to hear yours!

Part 2 of my lovely talk with PLURIBUS' @sambaschutte.bsky.social about what he took from his character's name and Mauritanian culture, the difference between working on PLURIBUS and OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH, and accidentally embarrassing Vince Gilligan:

"I'm like, 'No, just embrace the compliment!'”
Pluribus star says his character's secret backstory is hidden in his name
Our Flag Means Death's Samba Schutte explains how he and Vince Gilligan shaped Koumba Diabaté, and explains his radical choices in episode 6, "HDP."

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

100% correct about the value of the ‘Irish exit’. It always amazes me when people leaving early insist on making it extremely clear that they are leaving early. No one cares! Just go.

In light of today’s conversation on academic accommodations, I’m going to revive a thread lost to time when I deleted my Twitter profile.

It’s about a bunch of academic accommodations that instructors can offer in lieu of an extension on an assignment. 🧵

As someone who struggles to cope with the endless drivel spieled out by most English football commentators, I can only suggest that Alan Bennett be drafted into their ranks. It would at the very least provide a less familiar point of view. (From AB’s 2005 diaries.)

If Russia and the US were genuinely willing for NATO states, including the US, to provide an "Art. 5-style" security guarantee they could just suggest that Ukraine joins NATO. They are doing the opposite, which tells us all we need to know.
